refreshments will be served the arcadia the head of the honor system of lehigh univer sity at its last meeting passed a resolution for its resignation to the student-body and for the dissolu tion of the arcadia the resolu tion was presented to the student body at a college meeting this morning the chief reasons for the dissolution of the arcadia are said to be that the power of the arcadia is purely nominal and its decisions absolutely subsidiary making its existence a fraud and its efforts a waste of time to its members the resolution as adop ted and signed by the members follows : — whereas experience has proved especially within the present year that the jurisdiction of the arcadia to act as an honor court has been reduced to such narrow limits as to make any action of this body fu tile and void and whereas the time and labor spent by the honor court in inves tigating trying and sentencing ca ses brought before this body have proved futile in the eyes of the faculty in that a recent decision has been entirely overthrown be it resolved that we the mem bers of the arcadia after careful consideration and in the best inter ests of the student-body and lehigh university do hereby individually and collectively resign and tender our resignations to the student-body for their acceptance signed c r wylie jr h l rooney a b gorman v j pazzetti jr george c hill w g bell jr j l

ciety of lehigh university on tues day night was entertained by dr drinker and mrs drinker at their home on the campus the society turned out in force to enjoy the hospitality of the president of the university dyer smith 03 new york city addressed the society on patent experting in which business he is engaged mr smith was gradua ted from lehigh as a mechanical engineer and after employment somewhat varied along different engineering lines took up the busi ness of patent experting he pub lished a recent article on this sub ject in a recent issue of machinery his talk was particularly interest ing to his hearers and thoroughly appreciated he said in part the employment of expert wit nesses is one of the most character istic features of our patent law practice the witnesses are almost always called upon to testify in suits having to do with the in fringement of patents and their function in the litigation is usually of the utmost importance the briefs and oral arguments of the opposing counsel in the final hear ing before the judge are largely based upon the testimony of the expert witnesses regarding the meaning and scope of the patent sued upon and of other patents and publications brought forward by the defense to anticipate or limit the patent in suit an ill-consider ed answer or admission by an ex pert as to these and allied matters may possibly prove fatal to the suc cess of the side which called him to testify because of the impor tance of these services the expert ing of patents as it is called has become a profession which is well paid and in which the supply of good men is not in my belief equal to the demand a knowledge of technology and science is of chief importance to an expert many of these experts started as mechanical or electrical engineers and at least one expert of my acquaintance a man of deservedly high reputation graduated from the shop and had no college or law-school training expert witnesses are employed primarily because most patents are extremely technical documents de scribing complex machinery or phe continued on second page h t morris 91 of bethlehem is visiting germany for an indefi nite period there will
