Five Hundred Graduates of In-stitute to Hear Prominent.Speakers During Yearly Meet-ing

PICTURES TO BE SHOWN

Several prominent speakers, one of

international repu~te, have, been secured

to address the annual Alumni banquet

wvhich is to be held Saturday evening at

7 o'clock in the Walker Memorial. As

this is the first Alumni dinner to be

held in the MUemorial, all of the Alumni

are putting forthl their best efforts to

make the gathering a memorable one!

and wvorthy of the mlan to whose

memory the building has been dedic

eated, Francis Amasa Walker. As a

result of this effort President Mac-

laurinl, His Excellency Thle Chinese

Minister V. K. Wellington Koo, and

Alfred L. Aiken, President NationalShawmut Bank, have been securedaiprincipal speakers of the evening.

Owving to the stringency of conditionsoccasioned by the wvar and the neces-sity of conserving, it has been decidedthat the affair shall be a simple oneinstead of the banquet as has been the

case in former years, and incidentallyless formal. However there will be mu.sic and a moving picture exhibition of

the military work at Camp Cunning-ham, the Technology summer camp, in

addition to the addresses so the Alumnli.are- assured of an enjoy-able -evening in

Ithe flay of entertainment.iJudging from the recent sale of tick-ets it is expected by those in chargethat over five hundred graduates from

New~ York and the Newv England Stateswill be present, including some who arein service and wvho are to be the guestsof the evening. Francis R. Hart '89,Treasur-er of the Institute and Presi-dent of the Alumni Association, will

Altogether twventy-five schools werevisited, it being unnecessary to includein this trip the Newv England ones, ofwvlich there are ten or more, or thosethis side of Baltipiore, of which thereare four or five. The itinerary, whichincluded leaving Boston on November24, tool; in Norfolk, where a secondschool wvas established by ProfessorBur ton and Newport Newvs, where anewv school wvas started. These schoolsare established where there are smallgroups of sailors and include quite a,number of smaller places, while in thelarger ones like Boston, New York andBaltimore, a number of successiveschools have been conducted. Some-where near two thousand deck officersare nowv ready for the vessels that areunder construction for trans-Atlantictrade.

The Question Box has been in-augurated for SERVICE. So manyquestions have arisen, and so manidoubts have been expressed amiong boththe student body and the Alumni aboutthe relations of Technology and Tech-nologians to the wvar, that the VAPRTALKIE TECH has deemed it advisableto establish a medium for clearing upthese diflicultics. It is strongly desiredthat neither the Alumni nor the under-graduates will hesitate to send in anyquestions that concern them directly oranv that they think will be of benefitto Technology in common.

Address all inquiries to Tle QuestionBox Editor, The Tech. Tle name ofthe questioner will be withheld from

IT is with regret that we learn of the departure of the MilitarySchool of Aeronautics. The presence of the aviation studentshas lent a martial air to our buildings and wcre have felt a pride

in the honor which the Government has been showing us bv hous-Ina them at the Institute. AL present we do not know whrere theyare going from here, but we feel certain that we shall soon hear ofthem dropping bombs on Kaiserdom and ferreting out the work ofthe Hun. To each and every one of the future aviators we wish,"God speed."

THANKS.

x x rE thank the Technologo Review most heartily for the spien-did commendation which it gave in its July and Novemberissues to The W~ar-time Tech. The "boost" is sincerely

appreciated and we hope that we rill continue to meet with theapproval of the Review. WIe will endeavor to maintain the highstandard of usefulness Which seas set for us br the moiithly issuesof the- Review. The job is a man-sized one. but fre have undertakenit with confidence that fire shall be able to fill the shoes left vacantbar the discontinuance of these monthly issues.

One thin-, however, w~iil not be lost sight of. Thle under-graduate newvs wrill be as fully covered as heretofore and we hopethat the student bode will appreciate that we are trying to serve asthe official organ of Institute activities, both Alumni and under-graduate.

There is some doubt in the minds of those who signified theirintentions of taking the intensive course in Naval Architecture asto whether or not the course has met with the approval and coopera-tion of the DL'avy Department. -A definite announcement from theNaval Architecture Department of developments to date sould atleast clear up the nmatter.

EVERETT, MASS.

In view of the fact that a large num-her of the seniors of the University ofAlicligan are leaving for military selv-,ice, there is some agitation among tilefaculty members that the lead of Yalebe followed in conferring a special de-gree with a military distinction forthose men who hare qualified in partfor a degree. The matter will undoubt-edly be referred to a comuittee in thenear future.

President Butler, in his annual reportto the Board of Trustees of ColumbiaUn iversity, recommended swveepingclianges in the admission requirements,limitation being his chief point, and are-classification of the students into ju-nior and senior college groups. Whi!e1preliminary requirementsts and en-trance examinations would be retainedin practically their present form, theywould be used merely to forni an eli-gible list, from which the facultv mightseleet. on grounds of previous reeord,personalitv and promise, those studentsIpon wlihom they think it worthll wlile-to expend their efforts and the re-sources of the college.

Altlhouglh no announcements to thateffect have yet been made, it is believe,]that WT~est Virginia is negotiating to se-cure the services of Hugo Bezdek, for-mer Oregon Aggie coach and presencmnanager of the Pittsburgli ra tiorlalsas director of their gridiron fortune fornext season.
