scarce ly a family in the land but laments some bereavement these created wounds which it will take many years to heal ' ' continued on third page turning to the condition of eu rope today mr lawrence dwelt first upon the largest territorial changes the creation of poland with a population as great as that of france and with greater area and richer mineral resources the fly in the ointment of the restora tion of this ancient country lies in the regular sunday evening meeting of the y m c a had a number of features consisting of two interesting speakers and ex cellent music the music was given by miss m cassel accompanied by miss heimple a solo from the ' ' seven virgins and a special arrange ment of the lord's prayer were sung by miss cassel mr r h stanley of earlham college indiana was the first speaker mr stanley has been for the past seven years in china and has just returned to this country he is connected w t ith the inter national committee of the y m c a and is in charge of the v's chinese student wotrk in north america at present he is concen trating on a survey of the eastern colleges and will later work west ward he emphasized in his speech that we should treat our chinese stu dents as guests in our house these young men the finest in china come to this country to learn our ways — our methods of engineer ing our mam ers of living our "...]. ' i if i 1 * i fni - s it is a necessity that the american college man put forth his best side to the chinese student to off-set any bad impressions he vcx'aj re ceive through his unfamiliarity with our customs it is here in this country that the fine qualities of these boys are developed if we regard them help them they can go back to their china with pleasureable memories and a knowledge which will be of mutual benefit in our friendly relationships some stu dents come over here and go to school without ever getting into contact with the american family or home they must study eat drink sleep and find society among themselves naturally they return disgrunted as it is their main ob ject to find out about our life they seek to understand and if they go home in this fashion they tend to blame us and it is our blame therefore to counter-act bad impressions let us act as hosts and see that these men receive no wrong idea of america dean ettinger of muhlenberg college was then introduced his speech was concise and helpful dean ettinger said that some people in this world sought pleasure some power or money and each believed these things to be greatest but of all great things love is the greatest service love and self-sacrifice are three words which should mean much to the college man he entered the plea that these facts should be more followed in college life in order that the great est benefits might come in giving the parable of the continued on third page freshman meeting the second big chemical meet of the year took place thursday night and was attended by a crowd equally as large as that at the first meet the main attraction was the talk by dr w s landis 02 who came all the way from canada to be present in addition to being an alumnus of lehigh dr landis was an instructor here for some time after his graduation at pres ent he is one of the leading officials of the american cyanamid com pany dr landis spoke of the history and development of the field of chemistry with which he is asso ciated namely the cyanamid in dustry however his talk dealt very little with theoretical chem istry he discussed the indus ■■'••• rather from a commercial ana economic standpoint dr landis said that the cyanamid industry is only twenty years old at present there are about twelve to fifteen plants in the world producing 1,250,000 tons of cyanamid annually the war was responsible for much of the advance m tins as weii as many other industries dr landis then traced the elements that determine the selling price of a product first one must consider the cost of raw materials labor repairs and electric power if the latter is to be used in the process second if the process is one that has never been undertaken before the cost and size of a plant and the cost of operation must all be taken into account all these conditions and more must be first determined be fore the selling price of a product can be fixed thus it may be seem that there are many operations in the chem istry business which have nothing to do with chemistry but which are important in making the industry a success continued on third page dr landis then described the uses of cyanamid it is used in fertilizing in the extraction of gold and silver ores and in case harden ing of steel as well as being very valuable in the making of dyes and explosives this variety of uses of one substance is made pos sible by treating it in various physical and chemical ways dr landis closed his interesting talk by urging the men to do some work outside of the laboratory which would acquaint them with the financial and economic side of the chemical industry the financial efficiency of a reaction cannot be acquired from books or teachers he said but must be acquired by years of experience the men who can handle the economic side of the industry are always the ones who hold the most responsible and highest salaried executive posi tions freshman dance maryland lehigh club
