calling 1310-r study abroad is offered arts men the study of elementary sci ence is a reorganization of the workaday mind of a young man a reorganization as complete as the pupation of an insect and exact ing constraint is the essential con dition of this reorganization such was the definition given by prof william s franklin massachusetts institute of technology speaking last evening under the auspices of the physics club of lehigh in the physics lecture room aware of the large percentage of failures in the engineering colleges of the country prof franklin said more than 50 percent of those who enter our engineering school drop out before graduation and if this high mortality were due to essen tial nonadaptibility it would be a serious thing but in the great ma jority of cases it is unqualified per versity not mental deficiency that is the cause of the mortality and yet the science is necessary for it is easier to build a steam shovel than to develope a twenty-foot arm this means that mankind is now decidedly bent towards what has been called social inheritance as opposed to organic inheritance dr franklin went on to say the modern mathematical sciences con stitute a new engine which help the mind as a tool helps the hand and it is this engine which makes possible all forced interpretation and all rational control in his lecture in the morning prof franklin discussed

ministers sons are not plaster saints both of these stories describe the sex life of adolesence for dear old hokum a spe cial article by an anonymous writer deals with the trials of the alumni when they return to their alma ma ter in this article the alumni are keenly analyzed times have not changed much in bethlehem since 1899 if we judge by the poem the dutch cop's la ment which is reprinted from the epitome of 1899 the point of view of the old dutch cop that there are not enough students arrested is the same as that of the old dutch cops whom bethlehem still employs the proposed changes in the cur riculum of the college of arts and science which stress a vocational aim in the liberal sense of the word will be the subject matter of an editorial the copy for the coming num ber is in the hands of the printer and the review will be out before the easter vacation three freshmen have wielded philosophical pens with the result that the review will contain their essays on religion versus sci ence their views indicate that many freshmen had begun to doubt fundamentalism long before the so called demoralizing training of fered by modern universities had a chance to effect them british educator speaks saturday miller defines limestone uses gaining his information from painstaking research in italy dr horace w wright head of the latin department gave an illustrat ed lecture on etruscan rome be fore the classical league of le high valley at liberty high school saturday afternoon dr wright described the pom erium line and described how he had used this to prove that the et ruscans were not the founders of rome the pomerium line was a plow furrow encircling all old ro man cities the space between the walls of the city and the line was sacred land and no buildings could be erected in this area the gods were outside the furrows had td be made with a bronze plowshare or else it would not be holy dr wright showed that etruscans en tered italy in the iron age there fore they could not have founded rome the lecture was illustrated with many slides picturing rome as it might have actually appeared and also showing the ruins of the city as they appear today the temple of vestra and the regia were de scribed in some detail because they are marks proving the original course of the sacra vila a road running through the city to the capitoline hill the temple of vesta was a circular building with a domed roof this style of archi tecture is still seen in the thatched huts of the peasants in the sur rounding territory the regia was said to have been built by numa and used as his dwelling place the forum was originally very swampy due to the low site it occupied dur ing the rainy weather it became a veritable pond this condition pre vailed until the tarquins came into power a great sewer system was then built to drain the forum this piece of engineering exists today although it is not exposed to the sky as before this line of kings apparently were responsible for many reforms in the government of the people and in public works the y were later overthrown by a revolution the etruscans were a nation highly skilled in the practice of the fine arts many pieces of their jewelry are displayed today in mu seums more evidence of their skill has been found in the decorated tombs left by this race these the etruscans were not very pro ficient in the building of good arch es the only piece of the sculpture of the etruscans remaining is an armless statue of apollo this statue was found in a well in the vicinity of rome was remarkably preserved dr wright regarded this work of art as a good example of the etruscan style fogg writes article on cellular arches the lehigh debating team com posed of s h landy s r snit kin e j stack and manager rob ert many will leave friday evening on a trip to debate cedar crest college and schuylkill college lehigh will uphold the negative side of the question resolved that the american jury system should be abolished cedar crest has debated this question before and will be an op opent worthy of the lehigh team which has argued the question only twice before the debate manager of cedar crest has extended a cor dial invitation to any lehigh stu dents who wish to make the trip schuylkill is very interested in debate and has invited the lehigh team to visit and debate saturday evening both debates begin at 8 o'clock prof c d macdougall of the english department who in the past has been judge of lehigh de bates was elected monday to hon orary membership in delta omicron theta professor macdougall has been interested in lehigh debating since its beginning he was a de bator in high school and college and for several years was a debating coach in his talk to the society he praised debating as an activity declaring that a great deal of prac tical value was attached to it the second lehigh team which is debating the consorship question consists of w m brown e f un derwood r beasley and d marks alternate are arranging for debates away from home with moravian college and lafayette for some time in april it is hoped that one or two longer trips will be arrang ed before the close of the semes ter r j fogg professor of civil en gineering recently wrote and pub lished an article in the engineering news-record on the load test of large model of cellular con crete arch most engineering stu dents have seen the concrete span in the fritz engineering labora tory where it was constructed and tested professor fogg together with e k cortright consulting engineer have for some time been studying cellular arch construction it was for this reason that the arch was built and tested the large sample arch was plac ed under the 800,000-lb verticle testing machine only a few fine cracks showed under a load of 18,000 lbs and the arch did not break until it carried a load of 246,000 lbs campus events of the week having considered the prohibition question from every possible side the rev d w gateson lehigh's chaplain has submitted his plan for competition in the 25,000 temper ance contest sponsored by william randolf hearst thru his newspap ers he affirms that thorough sci entific investigation coupled with recommendation and direct action is the solution mr gateson says my plan sim ilar to president hoover's but more comprehensive is to submit the question of alcoholic beverages to the physical social and legal ex perts let our most trusted and skillful jurists after careful consul tation draft a new law or amend ment giving full particulars to the public for their information educa tion and action he further points out that his plan is both aristocratic and demo cratic it is aristocratic in seeking the advice of the wise and demo cratic in trusting the people to act in the best way when properly con vinced concerning the matter mr gateson is particularly qual ified to formulate a prohibition plan due to his experience he has worked for five years in the east side of new york city and ob served the vil influences of intox icating liquors when abroad he noted conditions existent in eng land scotland france and italy mr gateson adds that he has en tered his scheme in the durant and hearst competition for the most satisfactory prohibition plan he states however that he has no chance of winning because hearst desires the status quo and dur ant wants a complete change globe patrons hear university musicians a prominent english political scientist prof ernest barker will lecture publicly on the state and its relations to economic groups at 3 o'clock saturday afternoon at coppee hall prof barker is be ing brought to lehigh under the auspices of the international rela tions club until recently the al exander hamilton society dr barker is in this country conducting the lowell institute lectures at harvard university on leave of absence from cambridge university where he has been the professor of political science two years for seven years prior to his affiliation with cambridge mr qarker was president of king's col lege london at one time he was a member of the consultative com mittee of the board of education as an author he has attained equal prominence listing among his writ ings the political thought of plato and aristotle politics in england from herbert spenser to today 1915 and national char acter prof barker's lecture is open to the public and invitations have been extended to the departments of history and government at la fayettf muhlenberg and mora vian the west virginia academy of science has recently published a pa per by dr b l miller of the ge ology department on the origin and utilization of the limestones in regard to the origin of limestone prof miller declares geologists are inclined to believe that much of the structureless portions of lime stones represent purely chemical precipitation without any connec tion with organisms however prof miller disagrees with this view because of the unusual condi tions required to bring about suf ficient concentration for the preci pitation of the carbonates in his article prof miller goes into some detail to explain tht va ried uses of limestones he de clares that the oldest use of lime stone is for building purposes but that this use is rapidly losing its importance it is now important as a filler in a number of products and for dusting coal mines to pre vent explosions its chemical prop erties make it extremely valuable in industries where carbonates are needed and hence enters into the manufacture of countless products finally professor miller stated that new uses for limestones are rapidly being discovered he therefore advised that limestone be studies in more detail so that new demands can be met when they arise t>riverless car smashes into curbing through membership in foreign study groups which has been estab lished by various american colleges it is now possible for american col lege students to spend their junior year in france and pursue courses for which most colleges will grant full credit toward the degree of bachelor of arts according to dr c s fox head of the romance language department the program of work is not easy and only those should undertake it whose record at college has been uniformly high a minimum of four years of french two of which must have been taken in college is also necessary the courses available are limited to the general fields of lit erature economics philosophy his tory and the french language the cost for the year july to july is about 1,500 which includes ocean travel and all other necessary expenses except clothing and inci dentals a limited number of competitive scholarships of 1,000 and 300 each have been established to assist highly recommended students who cannot afford the full cost of the year abroad the scholarships for 300 will be awarded only to those who are to be members of organ ized and supervised groups approv ed by the committee for information as to the atti tude of the college in regard to the above plan consult dr c s fox for particulars about the award of scholarships and for application blanks address committee on un dergraduate study abroad insti tute of international education 2 w 45th st new york city now more than ever americans hope that when the smoke clears away from revolutionary mexico the present government will still ex ist as a government for the united states would otherwise be some what embarrassed we have made known by word smile and frown that we favor the existing govern ment and dislike the rebel move ment we have prohibited the sale of arms and ammunition to the reb els we have promoted the sale of both to the government and we are permitting the government to march its troops across our territory everything will be hotsy-totsy as they say if the government becomes stable again and another flight by lindbergh might cinch matters but if the governmental tables are overturned the story will read dif ferently well that was the risk hoover took in deciding upon his course and it looks as though it were rather a safe one despite the show of seriousness on the part of the rebels hoover's name has faded some what from the headlines this past week probably merely in prepara tion for big times for the middle of next month when a second session of congress is expected to confine itself to tariff and farm relief but hoover did come in for a splurge when he announced that the governmtnt would grant no more oil land leases except those made mandatory by congress this is one of the points in his wide conservation program what is aimed at in a very important way is the reduction of government scan dals a very worthy aim though it is unfortunate that such a thing has been allowed to grow into an aim the jones law lovingly dubbed the five and ten five years in prison 10,000 fine or both stands between two lines of argument while the government and the churches are all for it a band of prominent lawyers have sworn to fight against its application wherev er they can ♦ * ♦ liquor it is claimed whatever bethlehem claims has already jumped 20 to 40 per case and speakeasies someone said are put ting in smaller glasses and doubl ing prices the jones law is sup posed to be the cause through the fear it inspires in the same breath in which cer tain enforcement enthusiasts say they are not going to prevent the use of this dangerous weapon by striking the man with the flask and the small home brewer they declare that you can't very well stop that sort of thing anyhow strange ad mission and stranger still how these men expect to see the day when prohibition will succeed through such tactics as the pro hibition laws at any rate the gov ernment in industry may be neces sary but the government in mor als and pleasures is an unwelcomed intervener ♦ * ♦ it seems that after all these bick ering years now that the venerable elihu root has been at work the united states may become a mem ber of the world court for inter national peace in spite of the fact that the right hands the nations of the world are militaristic and are engaged in more or less extended militaristic prep arations such as the building of cruisers airships guns etc while their left hands are busy making the sign of peace it is probably a good thing for this country to enter the game herself it might be one way of stalling off a war for a few years longer should that be a de sirable end and who knows any way but what human nature may surprise the world some day ♦ ♦ ♦ speaking of additional cruisers britain has just signed the order for three new ones rut britain hastily assured us that these new three are merely for replacement purposes at the same time she gently reminded us that england has done more scrapping of ships i c than any other nation even though she had only a couple times the number of ships to scrap another flood tragedy is harras sing the country this time in the dixie lands thousands have been imperilled many have been killed and an exact estimate of property damage can be reached the coun try has been called upon to come to the relief of the stricken area and with characteristic response to needs in disaster the nation has done so ♦ • ♦ an individual disaster which caused the public to pause and wonder at the marvels it witnesses in modern film photoplay was the death of the photagrapher who was standing near lee bible's racer when it upset on the beach while traveling at 202 miles on hour the man deliberately placed his cam era a few feet from the track feel ing it his duty or his pride which ever you will to snap the machine at its high speed but this fate was the same as that of the venturesome racer it requires things of this sort to arouse the

on etruscan rome be fore the classical league of le high valley at liberty high school saturday afternoon dr wright described the pom erium line and described how he had used this to prove that the et ruscans were not the founders of rome the pomerium line was a plow furrow encircling all old ro man cities the space between the walls of the city and the line was sacred land and no buildings could be erected in this area the gods were outside the furrows had td be made with a bronze plowshare or else it would not be holy dr wright showed that etruscans en tered italy in the iron age there fore they could not have founded rome the lecture was illustrated with many slides picturing rome as it might have actually appeared and also showing the ruins of the city as they appear today the temple of vestra and the regia were de scribed in some detail because they are marks proving the original course of the sacra vila a road running through the city to the capitoline hill the temple of vesta was a circular building with a domed roof this style of archi tecture is still seen in the thatched huts of the peasants in the sur rounding territory the regia was said to have been built by numa and used as his dwelling place the forum was originally very swampy due to the low site it occupied dur ing the rainy weather it became a veritable pond this condition pre vailed until the tarquins came into power a great sewer system was then built to drain the forum this piece of engineering exists today although it is not exposed to the sky as before this line of kings apparently were responsible for many reforms in the government of the people and in public works the y were later overthrown by a revolution the etruscans were a nation highly skilled in the practice of the fine arts many pieces of their jewelry are displayed today in mu seums more evidence of their skill has been found in the decorated tombs left by this race these the etruscans were not very pro ficient in the building of good arch es the only piece of the sculpture of the etruscans remaining is an armless statue of apollo this statue was found in a well in the vicinity of rome was remarkably preserved dr wright

coupled with recommendation and direct action is the solution mr gateson says my plan sim ilar to president hoover's but more comprehensive is to submit the question of alcoholic beverages to the

b l miller of the ge ology department on the origin and utilization of the limestones in regard to the origin of limestone prof miller declares geologists are inclined to believe that much of the structureless portions of lime stones represent purely chemical precipitation without any connec tion with organisms however prof miller disagrees with this view because of the unusual condi tions required to bring about suf ficient concentration for the preci pitation of the carbonates in his article prof miller goes into some detail to explain tht va ried uses of limestones he de clares that the oldest use of lime stone is for building purposes but that this use is rapidly losing its importance it is now important as a filler in a number of products and for dusting coal mines to pre vent explosions its chemical prop erties make it extremely valuable in industries where carbonates are needed and hence enters into the manufacture of countless products finally professor miller stated that new uses for limestones are rapidly being discovered he therefore advised that limestone be studies in more detail so that new demands can be met when they arise t>riverless car smashes into

prohibited the sale of arms and ammunition to the reb els we have promoted the sale of both to the government and we are permitting the government to march its troops across our territory everything will be hotsy-totsy as they say if the government becomes stable again and another flight by lindbergh might cinch matters but if the governmental tables are overturned the story will read dif ferently well that was the risk hoover took in deciding upon his course and it looks as though it were rather a safe one despite the show of seriousness on the part of the rebels hoover's name has faded some what from the headlines this past week probably merely in prepara tion for big times for the middle of next month when a second session of congress is expected to confine itself to tariff and farm relief but hoover did come in for a splurge when he announced that the governmtnt would grant no more oil land leases except those made mandatory by congress this is one of the points in his wide conservation program what is aimed at in a very important way is the reduction of government scan dals a very worthy aim though it is unfortunate that such a thing has been allowed to grow into

mission and stranger still how these men expect to see the day when prohibition will succeed through such tactics as the pro hibition laws at any rate the gov ernment in industry may be neces sary but the government in mor als and pleasures is an unwelcomed intervener ♦ * ♦ it seems that after all these bick ering years now that the venerable elihu root has been at work the united states may become a mem ber of the world court for inter national peace in spite of the fact that the right hands the nations of the world are militaristic and are engaged in more or less extended militaristic prep
