easy victory the last of the y m c a meet ings with a speaker was held last sunday evening at which time it was decided to hold song services lasting one-half hour the services will not be held this coming sun day because of the junior week activities the election of officers of the as sociation for the year 1917-1918 was held with the following result : president r c alden ; vice-presi dent r s lambert treasurer l c fenstermacher ; secretary w r penman the orchestra ren dered some special music which everyone in attendance enjoyed a bach jr president of the association was the speaker and he very ably presented his views on the definition of a christian he saidi in part : there are many things in the make-up of a christian besides the mere formality of attending church among the most essential requisite is love love may be di vided into three kinds namely love for god love of fellowmen and love for self ' ' the most important is our love for god without such love no man can be a christian we go to god always in times of trouble and distress why not take our joys and happiness also to him we do not continue to pour our sorrows into our friends ears but tell them our joys too god is our friend so why not carry all things to him 1 secondly love for fellowmen is there anything greater than brotherly love this love is dis played everywhere the men fight ing in the european war are fine examples of brotherly love the man who leaves the trench in order to aid some comrade in no man's land does so with the feeling of love not what honor or medal he may attain by his deed the united states has entered this war to keep the things we love intact and not for any particular aim we ourselves are of great in fluence which may be good or bad each man has someone who looks up to him and will copy his habits will our influence be for good lastly love for self not the egotistic love not looking out for one's self but the mere taking stock of ourselves much in the same manner as a groceryman regularly takes stock of his goods he weeds out the poor goods and fills in with those which are good sellers the question is with us is our stock salable and of good quality stand up for the things that are right and when with others frown at the wrong and do not pass it by with a smile without showing our attitude toward wrong doing the characteristics of a chris tian are be square with god be square with our fellowmen and be square with ourselves r g cook presided during the meeting epitome notice on thursday evening at eight o'clock the april meeting of the electrical engineering society was held at the residence of dr drinker due to illness one of the speakers of the evening mr e m ullmann from wurtz-dulles co philadelphia was unable to be present r f wenner 17 the student speaker read an interest ing paper on water power legis lation he said in part : the question of whether or not the utilization of our water power resources shall be encouraged by suitable legislation has been before our congress for many years the development of our water powers is inseparably interlocked with the problems of transportation food supply and national defense for which reasons the question is a per tinent one even under present conditions we cannot go on forever using up our limited coal supplies and be sides future generations should not be robbed of their rightful heritage now the greater portion of our potential water power and practi cally all of our high head sites are situated on our public lands or navigable rivers and consequently the government has jurisdiction over them it is true that the cost of operation of a power site is small but the initial cost which is tremendous must not be over looked the cost of power depends up on operating expenses and the quantity of power generated for which there is a market another reason for the present high cost of power is the high rate of interest due to effects of our present laws governing development of power the laws provide that at any time and without due notice such a property may be taken over by the government without any monetary returns water power plants have been involved in innumerable legal con tests they have been condemned as monopolies but since it is an ad mitted fact that monopoly tendls to increase efficiency we can hope to solve our problems only when we permit the existence of these mo nopolies and properly regulate their rates another stumbling block in the progress of water power development is the group of ultra-conservationists who associate with water power a dry niagara and a ruined grand canyon — ab solutely erroneous visions the need for proper water power legislation is very evident the case of the opponents to such legislation is gradually crumbling and the advent of necessary laws is very near for the conservation congress and practically all engi neering societies have declared themselves in favor of the shields bill discussions on various pertinent questions were held following the close of the paper the announcement w t as made that election of officers would take place at the next meeting refresh ments were then served the second banquet of the class of 1919 was held last friday even ing at the hotel allen allentown the affair was a huge success the attendance being large and the speakers unusually good the toastmaster

out lined the situation of . the college men in reference to the present crisis of the nation he said that every student ought to do what he thought was best and urged every man to be ready to serve his country in some way dr rau was tho next sipeaker and he gave an unusually eloquent address the topic of which was the young man's hour dr rau said it is said that opportunity knocks once and but once at each man's door if he then listens and opens the road to usefulness and success lies bare before him but there are times when seemingly the raps that waken the soul come oftener than once or when per haps the general awakening is af fecting many at the same moment such are times of tension of high resolve of great sacrifice and in such times it is that the world realizes most keenly the young man's hour today we are in the young man's hour a vast social recon struction is going on in all the ad justments of human life and so ciety a reconstruction of such far reaching importance and of such many sided bearing that the older of us quail at the thought that pos sibly out of the chaos there may never again be evolved order and law and peace as young men you have now your hour all
