hall last thursday evening he spoke knowingly of the history of this or ganization and that of the arts and science department he being one of the founders of the society a shon business meeting was held and gilmore 17 was elected to fill the vacancy of treasurer it was decided after some debate to hold meetings on the third wednesday of every month after the talk by air walters professor blake head of the department said a few words endorsing college activities he said that all the learning in a person's college course cannot be acquired from text-books but that interest in some phase of outside work is of incalculatable value mr walters discussed the found ing of the university and showed by reference to the early catalogs of lehigh that the purpose of the founder was to give men a training in literary at the same time with that along technical lines the course has been slow in develop ment until within the past few years when with the added impe tus of a new building as a home for the department it has boomed and now boasts a large enrollment in creasing every year mr walters went on to explain how lehigh has sent out of the arts and science department pro portionally more men who have dis tinguished themselves in the line of letters and the other professions than have many other colleges he said that the reason for this could be found in that it is an unques tioned fact that the students at le high have to work much harder than at the majority of institutions of learning then the technical na ture of the course tends to make more concrete the ideas of the av erage classical man soccer soccer practice will be held here after three times a week mondays wednesdays and fridays on the baseball field no special equip ment is needed more men should report as the

engineer ing society meets chemical society holds large meeting prof j w richards speaker of the evening largest attend ance in history of society h w dußois 92 gives talk on concentration of ores by means of oil on jrriday morning at 11 o'clock in packer memorial church h w dußois 92 gave an exceptionally interesting lecture on hunting with a camera in alaska the main feature of mr dußois's talk was his excellent collection of photo graphs of the animal life in this cold-weathered country the most ( which were thrown upon the sxpreen placed before the pulpit in the chapel a point which was brought out clearly throughout the address was that thrilling experiences and keen sport may be obtained by shoot ing with the camera as well as with the gun all the volcanoes of alaska mr dußois stated are now covered with ice floes some of the volca noes however have been active causing great destruction a pic ture was shown of a 40-ton boulder thrown by an explosion a distance of four miles alaska is very rich in copper and the ore is of a high ," ■ ; ' ! h v usual run of ore is 2 per cent copper but that taken from alaska runs as high as 50 per cent the coal deposits in this country are reported extensive but mr dußois stated that if all the coal in alaska were put in pennsyl vania it would be scarcely noticed the fish industry of alaska is a great thing some excellent views of fish were shown in the act of climbing waterfalls in season the salmon migrate up the fresh water streams for the purpose of spawn ing and it is at this time that the great hauls of fish are made a characterization of the salmon here is the rapidity with which they can move their tails and it is said that at their greatest speed this species of fish can make 1500 feet a minute and can make headway against the most powerful currents they are therefore adapted to climbing wa terfalls the canning industry is developing wonderfully white sal mon is plentiful but not in demand mr dußois told of how one year only white salmon were available these were canned but the people in the united states would not eat any but the pink variety the man ager of the cannery was at his wits end until he thought it would be wise to advertise this lot as white salmon guaranteed not to turn pink with age the whole amount was sold and there were many orders for more growth of animal and vegetable life in this northern possession of the united states is rapid owing to the fact that for three months in the summer it is daylight for 24 hours each day a farmer allowed his cucumbers to go to seed be cause in the evening they were too small for pickles and in the morn ing too large for cucumbers he wasn't going to stay up all night watching them continued on third page a member of the grouse family the ptarmigan is a valuable bird in alaska in summer it is brown and in winter white so that it is almost impossible to distinguish them against the snow as an article of food in winter this bird is very precious at the same time they are exceptionally tame so that it is not difficult to kill them they the mining engineering socie ty held its first meeting of the year on thursday evening october 29th in the physics building there were about sixty men present and all enjoyed the program that had been arranged the meeting opened with an ad dress by pres a j wiegand 15 in which he impressed upon those present the necessity of attendance at the society's meetings and that the welfare of the society depended upon the interest taken by the mi ners of the university continued on third page the principal speaker of the ev ening was h w dußois 92 whose subject was concentration of ores by means of oil up to seventeen or eighteen years ago the use of oil in concen trating ores w t as only a laboratory method now it has become the standard practice on a large scale the first patent was granted to a lady school-teacher in denver the method was discovered accidentally during the washing of a sample bag the soap covered the fine particles attaching the particles to bubbles which floated off in the practical method oil is used which serves to cover the metallic parti cles and air bubbles attach them selves to these particles which float lehigh had little difficulty in scor ing a win over johns hopkins on saturday afternoon on taylor field in an uninteresting and one-sided game the final score being 33 to 0 there was a fair-sized crowd of brown and white rooters and at no time was it necessary for them was minus the services of cahall xriaisteci and ijecrcei an ot wnoiti have been doing such wonderful and sensational work during the first part of the season the visitors had a light team but played a gritty game the cleanest seen on taylor field this year their line often proved a puzzle to lehigh and it was only after the brown and white found the johns hopkins ends weak that they were able to do anything in the way of scoring hoban mattern and hal lowell were the stellar players in this department frequently circling the ends for twenty and thirty-yard gains nearly all of the substitutes who have been receiving most of the attention from the coaches dur ing the past week were given a chance to prove their worth before the whistle blew announcing that the game was over hallowell showed up fine at the quarter-back position the open field running of the midget was one of the features of the game the only time that hopkins came near to scoring was in the second period when through a long for ward pass from randall to wilkin son and a series of line bucks by the giant full-back they carried the ball to lehigh's 10-yard line where they were held for downs gaining only a few inches lehigh did not get going in the first quarter and were decidedly off color the brown and white elev en missed two chances to score af ter end runs by speedy mattern,ma ginnes and hallowell had brought the ball within striking distance a forward pass was once intercepted and at another time a fumble inter vened at the close of the first period lehigh had the ball on the visitors 10-yard line on the play in the second period hob an in a line plunge made the first touchdown but missed goa it took exactly four minutes for the brown and white eleven to score again after four first downs from the time wil kinson kicked off good carried the ball for ten yards hallowell for ward passed to sawtelle for twenty yards and hallowell skirted right end to hopkins 15-yard line and then went around an end for a touchdown continued on fourth page hopkins played largely a punting game until near the end of the half when randall pulled off a pretty forward pass of twenty yards to wilkinson who ran for twenty more yards before he was downed on the next play the big wilkin son plunged to lehigh's 15-yard line but here the visitors were continued on second page the first meeting of the chemical society the largest in the history of the organization was held in saucon hall on thursday evening there were forty-two men present and all greatly enjoyed the excel lent programme which had been ar ranged the principle speaker of the ev ening was prof j w richards who spoke on the necessity for accurate work on the part of the chemist professor richards showed how chemistry has entered into nearly every form of business at present and said that the chemist therefore has the first call on the inside work ings of business it is up to every chemist when he gets out in work to apply the principles he has learn ed in the laboratory to his particu lar line of business and in so doing to improve the processes connected with that business touching the point of inaccura cies prof richards stated that the beginning was inaccuracies in writ ing and speaking and if not cor rected this would spread causing inaccurate work the final result would be chemists who performed slip-shod analyses and whose results could not be counted upon the effect of accurate work on jimmie patterson perm's track captain and star sprinter gave a most interesting talk on his trip to europe this past summer at bhe i m c a meeting sunday evening air patterson is also president of the senior class and the christian association but it was his own manner and straight forwardness that appealed mostly to his audi ence in relating his travels this past summer he told how he was influ enced to go abroad and compete in foreign track events by trainer cartwell who accompanied him on his trip he arrived safely on the other side after a pleasant voyage and the first race abroad took place in mudidingiham england while he was in london he met potter the hurdler oler a high jumper and baker of middle distance fame these four decided to continue their journey as a team next they went to copenhagen where they entered a handicap meet here they competed in a medley relay in which the four of them ran against five opponents and they won by sixty yards they next stopped at berlin where they were ail very successful here the team broke up oler being dissatisfied with his own performances left for the uni ted states while baker and potter went to stockholm patterson him self going to budapest patterson arrived in budapest on july 25th the day austria served the ultimatum to servia the race took place the following saturday but many of the competitors had to leave to join their regiments since war had been declared it was very difficult to find a train to take him but he succeeded in finding one which went to munich where he was held up for three weeks ; finally he crossed into switzerland while in berne he saw 10,000 men mobilized and sworn in from here patterson went to ba sel near the french border from which he unsuccessfully attempted to cross into france basel is lo cated near muelhausen where the first big battle of the war took place and cannonading was heard in ba sel the first night of the battle and the next day many wounded were brought in patterson and his train er finally got a train to paris from geneva the trip taking thirty-seven hours changing cars six times a stay of a few days was made in paris which was practically dead after nine o'clock at night they sailed august 22nd for new york on a short-handed and over-crowd ed boat which made a very uncom fortable journey across the ocean before closing mr patterson sta ted that the y m c a ideal was to help the other fellow and do the right thing to one's college and fel low students he also spoke of the kansas city convention and of the work at the university of pennsyl vania showing that all the men in terested in the christian associa tion work were those that were leaders and athletes i after patterson's talk mr white side introduced j m frey his suc cessor at lehigh as general secre tary of the association mr frey said a few words in greeting to those present the brown and white lehigh university photographs and art work wanted bethlehem pa
