Institute since its founding. He wasborn in Gardiner, Me. in 1844, andwas a member of the first class tograduate from Technology in 1868.Previous to his retirement in'1914 asprofessor emeritus, he was for 46years a member of the Institute fac-ulty and for 41 years head of the de-partment of mining engineering.

Early in his academic career he es-tablished at Technology the first edu-cational laboratories of mining andmetallurgy in the world, and revolu-tionized teaching in these fields by theintroduction of laboratory methods ofexperiment and scientific research.For this epochal forward step in tech-nical education, as well as for manycontributions to the art of modernmetallurgy, he has been honored byscientists of many nations.

In addition to his academic achieve-ments, Dr. Richards has invented a

WIENER AND TAYLORSPEAKERS AT UNION

Bond of two hundred dollars wasrequired of the Tech Circus manage-ment by the Institute Committee atits meeting yesterday. The committeealso passed other regulations govern-ing the Circus.

It was announced at the meetingthat the Corporation had approvedhaving Open House next year, andthat it would be held on May 4, 1935.

The Institute Committee also ap-proved a motion that the date of theFreshman Dance be changed from,March 1 to February 15, so that theInterfraternity Conference could holdits dance on the former date.

Authorities Meet at CambridgeTo Discuss Distillation

First of a series of symposia underthe auspices of the division of indus-trial and engineering chemistry of theAAmerican Chemical Society will beheld at the Institute on December 28and 29, for discussion of the chemicalengineering features of distillation.

The meeting will bring to Cambridgethe leading authorities from all partsof the country to discuss the latestdevelopments in this field.

Distillation is an operation that isbecoming of increasing importance ina wide variety of industries for sepa-rating liquids into fractions of desiredphysical and chemical properties. Thecommercial production of solvents,gasoline, kerosene, fuel oils, alcohol,glycerine, compressed oxygen andmany other valuable materials in dailyuse has been made possible by theeffective design of distillation appa-ratuss.

reasonable time spent each day, in just- doingnothing, in relaxing mentally anld physically.He should not be such a victim of his occupa-tion, or his conscience that every minute isdomlinated by the clock. We live in a clock-con-scious, world, to be sure, and we would be in anunhappy state without watches, time tablesand schedules, but there is such a thing asbeing too much under the domination of dailyexigencies.

Ingenious ways of using spare momentshave been devised. Newspapers ultracondensepoig-nant features of current affairs and makeit possible for almost everyone to fill all hiswaking hours profitably familiarizing himselfwith the world in which he lives, And yet thisdefeats the purpose of wasting time, which isto relieve the c-hannelized and routinizedthou ghts of a busy day. Why not take a fewminutes now and again for solitude, that al-most unkown quantity in undergraduate life;take time to discard regrets of flunking thatlast quiz and worries about how you'll comeout on the next one. The fact that we fail towork intelligently, by which is meant that wefail to use our energies with the greatest effi-ciency, does a great deal to make our livesulnsatisfactory.

NOT TIME ENOUGH

TECHNOLOGY UNION .

RES great interest which Technology stu-IF dents appear to halve in their own fu-

tures was evinced by the large attendance andheated controversy at the second meeting ofthe Technology Union last Tuesday night. Thequestion was, "Does a Technology trainingequip a man for his place in the society of thenext twenty years?", and after discussion, thegroup voted that this training was deficient.

The complaints seemed to center around thefeeling that students were not left enoughtime by the curriculum for social and culturaldevelopment and that purely technical studieswere overemphasized to the detriment of thestudent's general education.

The engineer of the next few decades willhave to be well rounded and IL-o possess a widegeneral knowledge of men and institutions,for from all appearances his duties in the fu-ture will become more socialogical and admin-istrative. However, the extent of his technicalknowled~ge and ability must necessarily be asgreat as ever, for technical progress to accel-erate. It is difficult, then, to see how in a fewcrowded years a student at the Institute canacquire by courses alone all the general andcultural knowledge which he will need in thefuture, as well as the actual enrioneeringknowledge equally necessary.

Since both phases of the students' educationcan scarcely be given proper emphasis simul-taneously, the problem which is stressedarises. The rxiost satisfactory solution wouldbie to give the major emphasis to those sub-jects which the student must learn in schoolrather than'by working alone and that is thecourse the Institute's admninistr ators have fol-lowed in establishing a CURriculum 80%/ OFwhich is devoted to technical studies. The rela-tively small number of cultural courses off eredcan only serve to orient the student for fur-f~her -private investigation and are not sufficientin -themselves to develop the student into acultured intellectual.

Hence it is inevitable that the stuldelht's per-sonal progress must be left largely to his ownefforts. If lie believes that he is not giver,enough time to expend such efforts by thedemands of the cur}riculum, perhaps he may beright, but more likely- he is not sufficientenough or interested enough to use the timehe Aoes hav to , A-,he -deird -nd As, was de-

onstrated at the Union, the average studenthas at least -four hours per day which are notused for studying, eating, sleeping, and dress-ing. If there is not sufficient motive thesehours are not used for anything constructive.It is then the duty of the scholastic process toinculcate in the students a desire to use atleast a small part of their leisure for self im-provement.

QUIRKS OF CHANCE

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES

T is of interest to note the frequency withI which seemingly inconsequential discover-ies appear, only to develop into factors ofnational importance, Equally interesting arethe cases in which an apparently importantdiscovery becomes, by some qulirk of chance,relatively insignificant..

WAhen Sir William Perkin discovered theanilin dyes some seventy years ago, while at-tempting to synthesize quinine, he verv lo-gi-cally considered it a great convenience to thedyeing industry. Neither his nor any imagina-tion conceived the results which several yearslater overtook France. That country had beenbuilding a large agricultural foundation uponthe cultivation of madder root, from which

was obtained alizarin; since alizarinwas compounded both easily and in-expensively by methods developed byPerkin subsequent to his first discovZ-ery, it was not long before syntheticalzarin replaced the natural product.France, not having the materials fromwhich the new Alizarin was made,had to turn to a inew means of subsis-tence, which it eventually found inthe cultivation of sugar beets. Thischange in national methods of agri-culture had its own far -reaching re-sults.

On the other band, the invention ofthe Nelson cell, for the joint produc-tion of chlorine and caustic soda dur-ing the war, was held to have greatopportunities by those who realizedthe-.great need for a method whichwould produce great quantities of lyeinexpensively. At present the verydearth of any demand for chlorineraises in turn the cost of productionof the caustic soda, and hence makesthe value of the discovery almost neg-ligible.

OPEN FORUM

To the Editor of THE TECII:

The newly formed TechnologyUnion is indeed to be complimentedfor the auspicious choice of the ques-tion, "Does a Technology trainingequip a man to take his place in thesociety of the next twenty years ?" Nosubject, perhaps, would have beenquite as ridiculous, quite as inane,

quite as superficially -silly. Certainlyits choice denotes the acme of some-thling or other.

Of just what, does the TechnologyUnion believe, does society exist? Cer-tainly to has-e chosen such a topic fordiscussion the Technology Union musthave created a mythical society which Iresembles the real product in no fund- amental way.

Let us examine the real product andsome of its component parts.

NO SANCTION

ANOTHER PEACE TREATY

" THIRTY nations have ratified the Argen-tine Anti-War Pact, according to an

announcement by Carlos Saavedra Lamas,Foreign Minister," says the New York Times.The Argentine Anti-Wlar Pact condemns ag-gression, outlaws violence in the settlement ofterritorial questions and declares that the sig-natories will not recognize territorial arrange-ments not peaceably arrived at.

Here is another attempt to make brickswithout straw. The originators of this andother treaties of similar nature, such as theKellogg Pact, probably recognized, but did notadmit ,that peace cannot be attained by thepreparation of a handsome parchment. Ger-many's statem ent tha~t the treaty guaranteeingthe neutrality of Belgium was but a scrap ofpaper, was merely a brutal acknowledgementthat any contract, to be effective, must be ell-forcable. If the honor of the contracting par-ties is enough, well and good, but since honoris a rare commodity in the intercourse of na-tions, it appears that treaties which are b~ind-ing on a signatory only wzhenl that nation'sinterests are not adversely affected are butexpressions of pins hopes

Present international morals make it evi-dent that no agreements can be consideredpermanent unless they are backed by a club.But who can furnish a club which will cow anation ?

It has been suggested that an internationalpolice force sufficientlyr strong to subdue anyworld power be placed under the control of theLeag-ue of Nations. Bult how likely is it thatany strong nation with its background, tradi-tiorns, and psychology, would consent to see itsultimate sanction given to a body not underits control? From what countries would thesoldiers of sulch an army be drawn ? Whowvotild command them?

Uintil diplomats find a workable sanction, itwill bie hard to view their efforts toward peacewith anything but cynicism.

The men responsible for these devrel-opments are scattered throughout thecountry in industry and in academicpursuits, and the forthcoming meetingwill enable them to exchange informa-tion and ideas and advance their gen-eral knowledge by informal roundtable discussion. Some of the papersto be presented will deal with the gen-eral theory of distillation and rectifi-cation design, others will describe itsapplication to industry and its import-ance to the practical operating man,while the remainder will give detailedexperimental data on the separationof complicated mixtures containingthree components. The authors havebeen selected from the petroleum in-dustry, the chemical industry, themanufacturers of distillation equip-ment and the teaching profession.Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, Co-lumbia University, Cornell University,Massachusetts Institute of Technol-ogy, University of Illinlois, Universityof Michigan and Yale University will,all -be represented on the program bymembers of their faculties.

The meetings of the symposiumwill be held in the Eastmanl ResearchLaboratories of Physics and Chemis-try, under the chairmanship of Pro-fessor P. W. Adams of the Institute.The first session onl Friday afternoon,December 28, will be devoted to atechnical session followed by a roundtable discussion of design methods.The balance of the technical programwill be presented on Saturday morn-ing, December 29, starting at 9 A. M.An informal dinner meeting has beenarranged for Friday evening whenProfessor Warren K. Lewis will ad-dress the gathering.

A large attendance is expected atthe meeting, not only from New Eng-land, but from all over the country.By having the symposium during theChristmas holiday period it will bepossible for students as well as othersinterested in distillation to contact theleaders in this field.

number' of metallurgical devices, in-cluding a jet aspirator for chemistryand physics laboratories, a prism forstadia surveying, and several ore sep-arators. He is the author of a text-book and a classic work in four vol-umes on the subject of "Ore Dressing."

During his long career he has beenhonored by scholars and engineers illmany countries. -When he visitedJapan in 1929 as a delegate to theWorld Engineering Congress he' wasthe guest of the late Baron TakumaDan, head of the great commercialHouse of Mitsui, and one of ProfessorRichards' former students at the In-stitute. The Chemical, Metallurgicaland Mining Society of South Africahonored him by election to member-ship, and in 1926 his photograph -washung in the Ore Dressing Institute inLeningrad in recognition of his out-standing work, in Hthat field.

He is a fellow of the AmericanAcademy of Arts and Sciences and ofthe American Association for the Ad-vancement of Science. He was presi-dent of the American Institute of Min-ing and Metallurgical Engineers in1886, after having served as vice-president in 1879 and 1880, and waselected to honorary membership in1911.

An honorary member of the Miningand Metallurgical Society of Amer-ica, he was awarded the gold medal ofthat organization in 1915 for distin-guished services in the advancementof the art of ore dressing. He is alsoa member of the American ForestryAssociation, the Society of Arts, theLegion of Honor, and the EconomicEngineers, University, and Technol-ogyClubs. He makes his home at 32Eliot Street, Jamaica Plain, Mass.

being played there at the same scheduled time. Accordingly the respectiveathletic chairmen called the game off. Later in the evening it developed thatboth sides were anxious to play that night, so after a little scurrying aroundand arranging of tlings, tone contest was scheduled for playing in Walker afterthe Munroe game. It turned out that this last minute arrangement was won-derfully successful from a Walcott point of view for the winners were intheir best form, having one of those nights when nearly everything goes well.Perhaps the team wnould not hav e clicked so wvell and not have won by such abig margin had the game been put over until January.

The return of Cleon Dodge to the. swimming team after vacationwill make that outfit a much stronger contender in its dual meets.Cleon's speed in the dash events is certain to bring a good manypoints to Tech's totals. His showing in the interclass meet this weekindicates that his ankle is in good enough shape to enable him totake part in the coming varsity meets.

The present gives us a good opportunity to review a rather poor seasonfor all Techllology sports held since September. With the exception of thecrack rifle team, Institute sports have turned in only twvo wints since the be-ginning of the term, the honors being shared by Oscar Hedlund's CrossCountry team who beat a strong Holy Cross team, and by the soccer teamwho defeated Bridgewater.

The month of December has been especially disastrous, in that'tktehockey, basketball, boxing and wrestling teams were all obliged to provideopeners for Harvard, and wsere all defeated by the more experienced Crimsonteams. At the same time the swimming team has suffered two defeats, fromSpringfield and from Amherst. Neglecting the rifle team results, Tech teamshave one two meets, and lost twenty. With a list of seven straight victoriesalready tucked away, the rifle team seems to be aiming for another N. E.championship and a position among the leaders of the National Rifle Asso-ciation.

It might interest you to know that three of George Owen's first stringpuck-chasers are Canadians. Canada has always been noted for its finehockey players, with many of the big leaguers coming from our northernneighbor's provinces. This year at Tech we have on our hockey team DaveMathias, Jean Leman, a~nd Bob Driscoll, all claiming Canada as their home.The first two hail from the province of Quebec. while Driscoll comes fromthe distant province of British Columbia. To add to Canada's claim for dis-tinction, Mathias is the captain of the Beaver sextet.

Once again we save the United States Postal Department usingthe Hangar Gym this week and next to help take care of the bigincrease in mail volume that occurs annually at the Christmas season.Ofe course that means that Tech athletes and teams cannot use theHangar during this period, but there are no contests scheduled untilthe new year, so that the closing of the gym until after Christmasdoles not greatly affect the athletes who ordinarily use its facilitiesThose who do want to work out can use Walker Gym during theholidays.

For the benefit of those track men wcho .want to keep in training duringthe vacation Coach Oscar Hedlund will be at the Field House every afternoonduring the holidays from 3 to 4 P. M., Oscar would like to have as many aspossible of his runners take a short workout daily so that they won't get outof condition and have to start out all over again in January.

In the Dormitory basketball league, although the season is notfinished yet, Walcott has the title sewed up and put away. The Wal-cottians clinched the honors by trouncing Hlayden, 43-13, on Monday

in the country. He cited many instan-ces from history to prove his points.

Three Functions of Technology-Closing the presentation of speeches,

.Professor Taylor held that the threeessential functions of the Instituteare: (1) the selection of material, (2)scientific instruction, and (3), thepreparation for the social world. Tech-nology is working out solutions to thefirst two of these problems, but in thethird it fails, he maintained.

MARKED PREFERENCEAMONG COLLEGE MEN

FOR KOVER-ZIP

The one fastening device for the fly whichmeets the requirements of good taste,Kover-Zip, is the choice of college menfrom coast to coast. Though the ordinaryzipper gives a smooth flat effect when com-pared to the crumpled buttoned fly, it hasthe defect of showing an unsightly strip ofbare metal. Kover-Zip corrects this, inKover-Zip you cannot see the metal. Itsadvantages are widely recognized among"best-dressed" college seniors, as is indi-cated by expressions such as these:

It is significant that California's best-dressed men,like the University's foremost tailors, prefer theinvisible seamline Kover-Zip closure on trousersand slacks.

Each of the above courses is of four years' duration, with theexception of Architecture, City Planning, and the Co-operative Coursein Electrical Engineering. These three courses extend over a periodof five years.

A five year course is offered which combines study in Engineeringor Science and Economics or other social sciences. This leads to thedegree of Bachelor of Science in the professional field and the degreeof Master of Science in Economics and Engineering or Scienee.

. Graduate courses leading to the degrzees of Master of Science,Master in Architecture, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Science, andDoctor of Public Health are offered. A course in Public Health isoffered, which is essentially equivalent to that prescribed for the de-gree of Master of Science, and leads to a Certificate in Public Health.

Graduates of colleges or of scientific schools of collegiate grade,and in general all applicants presenting satisfactory certificates show-ing work done at another college corresponding approximately to atleast one year's work at the Institute, are admitted to such advancedstanding as is warranted by their previous training, and are givencredit for our required subjects, including the entrance requirements,so far as they have been satisfactorily completed.

The Summer Session extending from June to September includesmost of the subjects given. during the academic year.
