educational features ever fostered by lehigh was the symposium of welding that was held in the physics building and the fritz laboratory last monday all people interested in welding were invited and the lehigh valley engineers club urged its members to at tend the meeting the day was entirely filled with talks tests of welded specimens and by the actual welding of pieces in fritz laboratory there were exhibits of pieces that had been welded and tested the sym posium was a great success and not only was the response of the student body large but engineers from surrounding points attended in large num bers there were about 200 persons present at the morning session 300 at the afternoon session and 200 at the evening session of this number about two hundred were engineers and people

holds meeting resolutions made by faculty club banquets are to be after easter pre-med equipm't to be inspected mutual agreement made by two lower classes for struggles dean mcconn presents in teresting talk to members the class of 30 has instigat ed a plan whereby a chemical research fund can be maintain ed for the purpose of paying the expenses of two lehigh graduates who wish to return to the university to carry on some research work the plan for raising the money necessary for such a project is unique but entirely effective as has been proved by results to date it consists in having the men who are taking laboratory courses turn over to the fund their excess lab fees which are returned to them at the end of each semester inasmuch as the amount refunded is an unknown sum for which the majority of men make no definite plans its loss will be of little conse quence to the individual the awarding of the scholarships is to be placed in the hands of a committee of five composed chiefly of the members of the chemistry department but with always a member of the class of 30 on the board the plan was put before the freshman cabinet by stanley adams a special student at the univer sity yet very much interested in the class of 30 the officers of the class and stan adams have been running an exten sive campaign throughout the qualitative analysis sections in order to get the men to pledge their support and have met with such marked success that they have hopes of interesting the upper classes who will soon have the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fund the project is noteworthy for the fact that it is the first thing of its kind ever to be es tablished at any university it is also the first time that any freshman class has ever had continued on page two

the easter vacation presidents blood and oiler agreed that a more successful banquet season will result with the provisions that no hostili ties shall commence before the 19th the tuesday after return
