father-in-law of frederick played by john a frick 36 who has been forced to serve as a pirate until his 21st birthday many complications arise many complications arise and frederick is forced by his sense of duty to the pirate to fight against the major-general it is only through the efforts of the major-general and the presence of several other ele ments that the complications are fi nally unraveled * the part of the pirate king was taken by john f brownlee 35 and the part of samuel another charac ter in the play was taken by r c kain 34 lehigh students in the chorus were kent s putnam

pi delta epsilon admits new men hold banquets following in duction ceremonies berton h delong chief metal lurgist of the carpenter steel com pany reading spoke last night on electrical furnace steels at a meeting of the metallurgical so ciety preceding the meeting in wil lliams hall about 25 of the mem bers held a banquet in the sun inn before mr delong was in troduced by w a johnson met e 35 acting president edwin gower met e 34 was unanimous ly elected president of the society he succeeds g b mcmeans met e 35 who has taken a position with the allegheny steel company pittsburgh explains operation of furnaces starting from the fundamental law in electricity that the heat pro duced is equal to the square of the current multiplied by the resis tance mr delong explained the principles of the methods of opera tion of electric furnaces these he differentiated into four classes the resistance arc induction and high frequency furnaces he showed thata t the develop ment of the electric furnace as a means for refininfi steel was delayed due to the cheapness of the besse mer method and the high cost of sufficient power however about 1900 the automo bile industry needed higher quality steels and the electric furnace was developed to meet the demand at the present time about four per cent of the steel produced is refined by electricity he said mr delong showed that the electric furnace was developed chiefly in europe and particularly in italy and sweden since these countries are rich in iron ore but lack coal he demonstrated by slides the operation of a modern ore fur nace which operates at 130 volts and from 8,000 to 20,000 amperes for each of the three carbon elec trodes low carbon steels produced he showed how the circular bath of the ring-type induction furnace acts as the secondary coil of a trans former since there is no carbon contamination from electrodes a grade of steel very low in carbon content is produced these low carbon steels are essential in the cores of transformers he said a more recent development in the electric furnace line which is also used for refining low-carbon steels is the high frequency furnace he pointed out this type of furnace only costs 700 but requires equip ment worths4o,ooo to supply the high frequency power mr delong was graduated from cornell in 1909 with an a b in chemistry he was employed as a chemist by the stanley works of boston mass from 1910 to the present time he has worked for the carpenter steel company of read ing as a metallurgical engineer lehigh wins here loses at muhlenberg on bank ownership

research department of the ken dall cotton mills at paw creek,n.c last year mr thorne worked on the flaming arc with prof gilbert e doan in the metallurgical de partment during the past semester he worked with dr maurice ewing in the physics department on geo physical prospecting previous to entering lehigh mr thorne took a course at the bell laboratories in new york while a student he was head cheerleader and a member of the robert w blake society dr neil carothers director of the college of business administration traced the history of schools of commerce in his address yesterday afternoon to the faculty education club the topic of dr carothers talk was colleges of commerce and the business world aims and purposes of the bus iness college and the attitude of the business world toward business graduates were discussed by the speaker dr carothers made clear that the purpose of schools of commerce in his opinion is not to train students for a specific specialized job no school can guarantee to equip anyone to be a bank president a railroad executive or a stock ex change employee he said the real purpose of schools of commerce rather is one of orienta tion we can give training in the fundamental basic principles of business and in this way permit students to find the thing they may wish to do in tracing the history of the com merce schools dr carothers stated that prior to the industrial revolu tion there was no business efficien cy or accounting as we know it to day however at that time many factors introduced themselves which made such disorganization in bus iness impossible first under arts colleges v the time when courses in bus iness administration were first of fered such courses were under the colleges of arts and science he said l robert e lee was the first advo cate of a separate college of bus iness administration at washington and lee university of which college he was president but he never lived to see this dream realized the first college of this sort was the whar ton school in the university of pennsylvania founded 53 years ago however after the world war the demand for courses in business ad ministration became much larger than they had been previous to that time dr carothers said due to this vast increase it was impos sible to give an adequate training for those who desired such a course then the ideals upon which these colleges were founded were con trary to the principles of the pres ent day colleges in business admin istration he said these colleges at the time of the war believed that their graduates were all to be fu ture captains of industry as a result of this stated dr carothers the graduates of sucn schools were very poorly trained as an example of the manner in which some of these colleges were run he mentioned that it had been found that 22 colleges were offer ing without sufficient equipment more courses in business adminis tration than the harvard graduate school of business administration commerce teaches fundamentals the present colleges of business administration he went on to state are not primarily designed to make future captains of industry but to supply the students with a funda mental knowledge that will help them in industry the students are also better equipped to advance themselves he believes at present there are three types of colleges of business administra tion the first is that college which confines this type of work to the graduate courses others offer such courses in only the junior and sen ior years the third type offering a four year course he believes the later type to be the best as the stu dent may thus obtain the elemen tary knowledge in the first two years and go into more advanced work in the last two years statistics prove that ten years after graduation the average grad uate of a college of business admin istration is making more money than the average graduate of an en gineering or arts college the school of commerce can give the funda mentals to the student which will help him after graduation but it cannot teach him the technique dr carothers said tuesday feb 13 6 p m banquet of section d tay lor hall at the dorneyville hotel j

gambling device known as a slot machine occupies a conspicuous place in the office of one of the pro fessors in packard laboratory and a dice shaking machine may be found in the math department in packer hall the reason that is offered for the presence of such devices of iniquity is that they are being used in the advancement of the search of knowledge at present the slot ma chine is in a pretty bad way hav ing been taken completely apart in order to find out what makes it go the condition of the dice shaking apparatus has not been reported as yet odds 500 to 1 both of these gadgets were ob tained from the bethlehem police department it has been determined that the odds are 500 to 1 against the gambler in getting a 20 to 1 dividend from the machine fur thermore the owner of the machine gets at least 65 out of every 100 nickels that are put in the odds against the player of the dice shak ing machine are also surprisingly high both of these machines will be used for demonstration purposes and not to get money for the depart ments during open house that's their story anyway transparent cases for open house during open house the slot ma chine will be inclosed in a trans parent case in order to show the mechanisms to the guests thus one will have the pleasure of seeing just how one loses his money some fun the m e department will also demonstrate just how these mach ines are adjusted so that the chances of the gambler's winning are even smaller than they ought to be and if you think that the own ers are taking any chances of los ing any of the thus hard earned money you ought to see all the de vices apparatus and even gadgets that have been installed to prevent the operating of the machine with a penny or some such trick bethlehem pa tuesday february
