hu^gms manager mcllwaine also went on the trip the lehigh frosh although hav ing a good team have seemed to have had all the breaks against them this perhaps was due tc some of the men not practicing

the preservation of our minority rights at the college lec ture given in packer memorial church dr ainey who is chair man of the public service commis sion of pennsylvania received tht honorary degree of ll d from his alma mater at the fiftieth anniver sary of its founding he was one of nve prominent alumni so honored at that time dr ainey's address was a critical analysis of some of the broader principles of our american govern ment he spoke of the need of changing our ideas and mode of government in order to solve suc cessfully the modern problems which confront us in so doing however the speaker pointed out that we must not forget the primal and tundamental declarations laid down by our forefathers in the es tablishment of the nation the speaker defined governmental authority as the summation of int didual rights surrendered to it ' and said that as a nation we were show ing the dangerous tendency to sur render too many rights to the gov ernment as a result we are rapidly becoming the most governed people of the world rather than the least governed if we excuse all legislation by calling it the will of the majority we neglect the fact that our constitu tions were adopted not only to as sure majority rule but to impose limitations on the majority in the interest and for the protection of the so-called minority the preser vation of our minority rights was nothing more than the preservation of our rights as individuals and as such was one of the most precious of the possessions guaranteed to us under the organic law of our nation dr ainey said in part 14 ihave a sense of proprietor ship with you in this splendid insti tution under whose auspices we are permitted to assemble its history covering over half a century has been so unique its ca reer so glorious its achievements sc notable and its fame so extensive that i am inclined to pause a few moments to contemplate with you what it was and is and shall be 1 am reminded that it has lived its useful life between two great war periods the one wherein the very foundations of our national exist ence was shaken and the other wherein the fabric of civilization it self was involved we find that our beloved univer sity in the stressful periods of out nation has fully met its responsibil ity and from its student body here equipped there have gone forth from time to time men of large vision and patriotic impulses who have contributed of their best and some of them their all toward the solution of our great problems mak ing for the perpetuity of our coun try continued on page four following the address there was a general discussion and the meet ing adjourned one of the great difficulties in esimating during the war was the fluctuation of the market and labor conditions when things have be come more settled more time can be given to developing the efficiency of these companies and it was up tc the navay engineers of today to develop it this is just one of the many ways of making shipbuilding a more efficient process and mr shulze ex plained how the surface has only been scratched mr shulze told of how the actual esitmating was done based on the specifications submitted to the com pany or on the cost of previous ships the old system was to take every thing separately and figure it out a very slow and tedious process and great possibilities of mistakes now this data obtained from for mer ships has all been compiled and tabulated in the form of curves so that if the weight of a cylinder of a ship of a certain type is wanted all that is necessary is to refer to the curves mr shulze is head of the esti mating department of the bethle hem shipbuilding corporation ?. specialist in that line so he was very well qualified to talk about it some good tips for college men just starting out were given by mr r l taylor 04 and then the meeting adjourned to the parlor where mr h h shulze speaker of the evening addressed the society professor mcki'bben former pro fessor of civil engineering was the man who inaugurated this course intending it to be one different from those in other colleges and second tc none when he left lehigh he asked professor fogg to carry it on professor fogg then stated how he looked for the best naval engineer in the country and was very fortu nate in securing professor chap man the results showing he was not mistaken professor fogg was asked to ad dress the meeting and after a few funny stories proceeded to give a brief history of the naval course professor chapman then spoke stating that as a whole he was very well satisfied with the naval engi neer's work and it was gratifying to see the way the members of the society supported it dr emery spoke first and as the day happened to be st patrick's day he amused his audience with several irish jokes he then spoke on the founding of the naval engi neering course and expressed his pleasure at the wonderful results obtained saying that if there had been some misgivings several years ago he was more than satisfied now president h m woelful 22 presided and after dinner asked the guests to address the society the naval engineering society held its first formal meeting in the form of a banquet last thursday evening at the sun inn the attend ance was very good only about two men being absent while several members of the faculty and mr r l taylor of the class of 04 helped to
