LECTURE BY HAMLIN GARLAND
Mr. Hamlin Garland, the eminent author of
"Main-travelled Roads," "The Captain of the
Gray-Horse Trail," "Hesper," now popularized
in the moving pictures, and other novels of the
Middle Border and old West, who is himself such
a splendid representative of the best in American
literature, gave unusual pleasure and a deepened
interest in letters to all who met him and listened
to his stimulating talks during his visit at Bow-
doin. After giving three lectures to the English
classes of the college, Mr. Garland spoke in pub-
lic on "Meetings with Famous American Au-
thors" in Memorial Hall, March 24th. This lec-
ture, as President Sills said in his introductory
speech, was one of a notable series of talks at
various colleges concerning art and literature as
important factors in the formation of the national
character. Because of his intimate acquaintance
with so many of the most important American
authors, Mr. Garland in a most charming and in-
formal manner not only presented them as actual
living personalities, but also portrayed the rich-
ness of the earlier American literature.
Mr. Garland began his lecture by very warm
praise of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Next he told of
his early delight in fantastic romances of far dis-
tant places and times, which lasted until he read
Edward Eggleston's "The Hoosier Schoolmaster"
in 1871, in a number of "Hearth and Home." In
1876 the simple but vivid description of a buffalo
by Joaquin Miller made a deep impression upon
him.
In telling of some of the first books of Mark
Twain and William Dean Howells, he said that
he had estimated "Roughing It" and "The Undis-
covered Country" at their true worth long before
the critics recognized them. In the latter he
"felt dimly something new, crisp, gracious, and
precise, not hitherto felt in prose." Howells he
called his friend, adviser, and inspiration for
over thirty-five years. Mr. Garland was also in-
timate with Mark Twain, and spoke of the beauti-
ful friendship which existed between these two
greatly differing personalities, Howells and
Clemens. Howells was refined to the highest de-
gree in all his actions and sayings, but in con-
trast, Mark Twain used to "swear with an Ori-
ental magnificence and supernal fervor that was
unequalled; it was not profanity, it was just elo-
quence." Howells called Clemens "a great rug-
ged figure. in American literature," not to be read
for amusement, but to give the actuality of the
life in the mining period in Montana and Nevada.
Again the speaker quoted Mark Twain somewhat
as follows, "I have been writing for many years
a daily note-book, in which I have set down ex-
actly as I felt at the time an estimate of people
I have met. I don't know when it can be pub-
lished,— I can't publish it while any of their de-
scendants are alive,— but when I do publish it,
that man Webster, who cheated me, will turn in
his grave !"
James Whitcomb Riley was praised most highly
as one "who had struck a vital, homely, humorous,
and American note of Indiana life," and who "at
his best, was as characteristic of the Middle West
as Robert Burns was of Scotland." Riley had a
beautiful handwriting and used a quaint phrase-
ology in his letters to Mr. Garland. The speaker
gave an intimate description, full of quiet humor,
of a call on Riley at the Parker House in Boston.
In 1892 Mr. Garland went to California and in-
cidentally called on Joaquin Miller in his secluded
retreat near Oakland. At that time the author
was writing his "beautiful and mystical 'Life of
Christ' " in verse. In his abode there were num-
erous trophies of the chase, but nothing to indi-
cate the poet of the Sierras. The lecturer de-
scribed Miller's eccentricities in a very delightful
manner. Joaquin Miller as an author, he called
"the greatest poet of the mountains in the English
language," and again, "he has presented the finest
picture of the Rocky Mountains in our literature
or in any literature."
After telling of the peculiar humor of Eugene
Field and of his passion for collecting oddities,
Mr. Garland depicted a few of the qualities of
Edward Eggleston, who, even as an elderly man,
was a charming talker, profoundly versed in
American folk-lore, and such a pioneer in West-
ern literature that Mr. Garland had once said,
"We are all sons or grandsons of Edward Eg-
gleston."
BOWDOIN ORIENT
The speaker next touched on the new form of
American literature of which the foundation was
laid by Frank L. Stanton, Joel Chandler Harris,
and Thomas N. Page. Harris he called great in
delineation of the negro and of the Georgia
mountaineer.
In treating of Hopkinson Smith, the lecturer
said "there were three of him, Frank H. Smith,
who built lighthouses, F. Hopkinson Smith, who
wrote stories, and Hop Smith, who painted
in water colors He was a real Colonel Carter
in his actions." At this point Mr. Garland spoke
of the appalling lack of creative artists today. In
fact, there is no one producing either literature,
or art, or sculpture, in Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, and the South.
One of the speaker's pleasantest episodes was
the description of a dinner in New York with
Rudyard Kipling and James Whitcomb Riley,
when the latter read so impressively some of his
nature study poems that Kipling exclaimed,
"That's American literature !"
Of John Burroughs the lecturer spoke most
feelingly as a writer who had remained all his
life in his native place in the Catskills, while
nearly all other writers had moved to New York
City. The work of this author "showed something
new, something vital, and something American."
Mr. Garland's meeting with Bret Harte in Lon-
don, when Harte was an "expatriate who had
failed to make himself an Englishman," was most
interesting, for Harte said that he could not be
at home in America because his old West, the
West of "Poker Flat," had gone forever. The
concluding sentence of his talk was very striking :
"All America needs is to be honest and fearless
and to have the art that appeals to the whole
world" while treating in our own vein subjects
of truly national note. After his lecture he de-
lighted his audience by reading three poems of
his own in the vernacular.
LEWISTON H. S. WINS DEBATING
CHAMPIONSHIP
In the debating room in the library, Lewiston
High School won the championship of the Bow-
doin Interscholastic Debating League from Port-
land High School, March 25th. The subject of
the debate was "Resolved, that electricity gen-
erated by Maine water power should be reserved
by law for use within the State." The win-
ning team supported the negatve side of the
case. The members of the Lewiston team were
Richard J. Stanley, Harold P. Owens, William E.
Young, and Earl C. Catland (alternate). The
Portland team consisted of Raymond Ward,
Charles G. H. Evans, Maurice Levinsky, and Al-
fred Chapman (alternate). Young of Lewiston
and Evans of Portland both had strong argu-
ments. The judges were Professors Catlin, Mc-
Clean, and Mitchell. L. H. Hatch '21 presided.
Gordon '20 was the coach for the Lewiston team,
and Haines '21 for the Portland team.

MUSICAL CLUB CONCERT IN PORTLAND
The Musical Clubs will give a concert in Port-
land Saturday evening under the auspices of the
Bowdoin Club of Portland. This will be the last
concert of the season. The concert will be fol-
lowed by a dance for which music will be fur-
nished by a quartet consisting of Sprince, Rochon,
Richan,and Lyseth. Tickets may be obtained from
Manager Berry at the Kappa Sigma house and
are 75 cents each, plus war tax, eight cents ; or
reserved seats may be obtained by making re-
mittance to the secretary of the Bowdoin Club,
D. H. Sayward, 549 Masonic Building, Portland.
TRACK SCHEDULE
The spring track schedule has not as yet been
completely arranged. The management is con-
sidering the Pennsylvania Relay Carnival (April
30, May 1), owing to the great desire of the
Philadelphia Alumni to see a Bowdoin team in
these important games. However, if Bowdoin
does not enter this carnival, it is planned to have
two dual meets, one with Bates on May 1 in
Brunswick, and the other with some other college
at their field on May 8. The Maine Intercol,legi-
ates come at Lewiston, May 15 ; the New England
meet at Tech Field, Cambridge, May 22 ; and the
I. C. A. A. A. A. games at Franklin Field, Phila-
delphia, May 28-29.
Coach Magee has been invited by President
Dallas of the A. A. U., also president of the
Meadowbrook Ckib, to send a relay team, and
some men for special events, to compete in the
Meadowbrook Club games in Philadelphia, June
5. The Meadowbrook Club has offered to defray
all the expenses of the Bowdoin team.
Coach Magee plans to keep several men in
shape to compete in the Olympic try-outs later
on in the season.
As for the Maine meet, it is expected that
Maine will have a much stronger team than in
1919, while Bowdoin will be weakened by the
loss of Savage and Higgins. On this account, a
much closer meet and a far harder battle between
Bowdoin and Maine is expected for the cham-
pionship.

No. 1
Entered at Post Office at Brunswickas Second-Class Mail Matter
The Orient for this Year.
With this issue the Orient begins the fiftieth
year of its existence. It is to be hoped that this
year will mark a reversion to its pre-war excel-
lence.
As has often been stated in this column the
Orient has two services to perform ; service tc
the alumni and service to the student body. In
the interest of the student body the Orient hopes
to continue its policy of accurately registering the
worthwhile events of student activities. As be-
fore, too, it invites student opinion to express
itself through its medium. The management of
the Orient hopes, however, to make its reading
matter more interesting by the introduction of
appropriate cuts from time to time and to further
enrich its appearance by putting out such special
issues as the Football Number of last year.
For the alumni the Orient will constantly en-
deavor to collect and print a sizable and inter-
esting department of alumni notes. In addition it
plans to give special mention of distinguished
alumni accompanied, whenever possible by a pic-
ture of the subject. This will not only prove of
interest to alumni but will also be of value in
making known famous Bowdoin men to those
not connected with the College. The Orient
also reminds the alumni of the privilege, very
seldom exercised, of contributions by alumni to
its columns. Alumni may many times perform a
useful service by giving of their counsel and ex-
perience to the younger generation.
In the preceding paragraphs have been outlined
the general plans for the advancement of the
Orient in this volume. It may be well at this
time to make definite the plan mentioned in the
last issue in regard to lightening the burden of
the managing editor, who has been a long-suffer-
ing factotum. The plan is, briefly, for the man-
aging editor to appoint a news editor for each
week from the present Sophomore members of
the Board. The amount and character of the
work to be done by the news editor is left to the
discretion of the managing editor. In this way
the managing editor will be less burdened and
more free to exercise the more important duties
of his office, while at the same time his associates
will be acquiring valuable experience, especially
in case of being called upon to take up his func-
tions in an emergency.
The editorial column will, as in the past, en-
deavor to present the view of the student body
concerning questions with which it has to do.
This column will prove much more valuable, how-
ever, if there is an exchange of ideas presented
rather than a one-man view.
The present management of the Orient wishes
to thank the student-body for its whole-hearted
support during the past year and to insure the
continuance of this support during the following
issues by the publication of a worthwhile and
readable college weekly.
H. S. WHITE '17 WINS HIGH JUMP IN
OXFORD-CAMBRIDGE MEET
In the first meet between Oxford and Cam-
bridge since March, 1914, Hal S. White '17,
BOWDOIN ORIENT
Longfellow Scholar from Bowdoin, won first
honors in the high jump. The meet took place
March 27th at the historic Queen's Club grounds
in London before an unusually large gathering
of spectators. Oxford won the -meet with five
and a half events to the four and a half taken by
Cambridge. Two of these events were won by
Americans. The Boston Herald stated that White
won his event in easy fashion, with a height of
five feet five inches, and immediately followed
with an exhibition jump which added two inches
more to his record. His performance in this
meet was not quite so good as in the Oxford
University Athletic Association Track Meet of
March 1, where White took first place with a
mark of five feet, seven and a quarter inches. On
March 15, in a special meet at Oxford, White
won the high jump with a leap of five feet, eight
inches. This was the necessary height required
to win the "blue blazer" which is the highest
honor attainable in athletics at Oxford. Only
seven men have become "blues" this year. White
is the holder of the Bowdoin record in his event
with a height of five feet and nine inches. He is
a former pupil of Jack Magee, and one of the
few Bowdoin men who have come into. promi-
nence in athletic lines outside of college. Photo-
graphs of White taking his jumps have recently
appeared in the London Daily News and in the
London Daily Sketch.
MUSICAL CLUBS' TRIP TO MASSACHUSETTS
The Bowdoin Musical Clubs left Brunswick on
Thursday, March 25 for their last trip of the sea-
son. On Thursday evening they played in San
ford, on Friday in Portsmouth, N. H., and on
Saturday they gave their annual Boston Con-
cert. The Clubs were enthusiastically received
all along their route. The trip was the climax of
an unusually successful season.
In Sanford the concert was presented in the
Leavitt Theatre before a large audience. After
the concert the members were given a banquet in
the Unitarian Hall and later enjoyed a dance.
The concert in Portsmouth was given under the
auspices of the High School for the benefit of its
Athletic Fund. The concert was one of the best
of the season. The Boston Concert was given in
the Ball Room of the Hotel Vendome. The hall
was filled with alumni and friends, who greeted
the program with great enthusiasm. A dance fol-
lowed the concert. The program was the same as
has already been printed in the Orient, except
that Helson '21 substituted for Philbrick '20 as
violin soloist.
Campus Jl3etos
Plans have been made for the inter-fraternity
baseball this spring. The rules are practically the
same as last year, except that the games are to be
seven-inning affairs. The schedule will be ar-
ranged later. There are to be two leagues as be-
fore; the first league to consist of Beta Theta Pi,
Zeta Psi, Theta Delta Chi, Kappa Sigma, Psi Up-
silon and Non-Fraternity; and the second league
to consist of Delta Upsilon, Chi Psi, Alpha Delta
Phi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, and Sigma Nu.
During the vacation the engagement of Rob-
ert Earle Cleaves '20 to Miss Mary Frances
Stearns of West Paris, Maine, was announced.
Owing to a typographical error in the last issue
of the Orient, in the summary of points in the
Inter-fraternity Meet, Kappa Sigma was credited
with only 27 points instead of the 51 points which
the fraternity actually won. Chi Psi had 27 in-
stead of the 21 points an indicated.
Edward F. Merrill '03, county attorney for
Somerset County, was on the campus shortly be-
fore the last term ended.
JFacuItp iSotes
President Sills has been appointed chairman of

BOWDOIN ORIENT
other book of a set already begun on the history
of the islands, showing the part they have played
in the history of Great Britain and the United
States.
Dean Nixon has recently purchased the house

state-wide and national importance. For nearly
two years before his death he held the rank of
major as a surgeon in the United States Public
Health Service.

Asia Banking Corporation.
'94 — Charles Allcott Flagg, since 1913 librarian
of the public library in Bangor, Maine, died in
Bangor the night of March 28, after a brief ill-
ness, diagnosed as sleeping sickness. He was
born October 1, 1870 at Sandwich, Mass. The
year after he graduated from Bowdoin he was
principal of the Hopedale (Mass.) High School.
From 1896 to 1900 he was an assistant in the
New York State Library at Albany. From 1900
to 1913 he was a specialist in American history
in the Library of Congress at Washington. He
was the author of several historical and genealog-
ical works. In 1902 he received the degree of
Master of Arts from George Washington Uni-
versity. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsi-
lon, and in his senior year, vice president of his
class.
'96 — Wallace Seymour Mitchell died rather un-
expectedly March 15, 1919. He was born at
Freeport, Me., Dec. 5, 1873. Immediately after
graduation he went into journalism in Portland.
For the first three years after receiving his de-
gree, he served as a newspaper manager. In
1899 he became circulation manager for the Port-
land Express and Advertiser, with which paper
he was associated until the time of his death. He
was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity.
'98 — Donald B. Mac Millan, the Arctic explorer
who is now planning his expedition to the north

'98 — Daniel Lyman Wormwood, superintendent
of schools in Bangor, died very suddenly after an
illness of four days at his home, March 23, 1920.
His death was due to a complicated ailment be-
lieved to have been an abscess in the head. He
was born at Crawford, Maine, August 18, 1864.
He married Anne B. Lydick of Crawford, Jan-
uary 9, 1886. After graduating from Bowdoin,
he was principal of the high school at Machias
until 1903. From 1903 to 1912 he was superin-
tendent of schools in Old Town and vicinity. In
June, 1912, he was appointed superintendent in
Waterville, but this position he held for only two
months, as he accepted an appointment in Ban-
gor in August of the same year. In 1913 he was
elected president of the Maine Teachers' Asso-
ciation at its convention in Bangor.
'05 — In the Boston Transcript for March 31
there appeared a poem by Charles Poole Cleaves,
entitled "Soldiers in Europe."
'11^ — Harold N. Burnham was recently elected
to fill a vacancy in the science department of
Deering High School.
'11 — Dr. Elmer H. King of Portland has been
making great progress recently in his wo'rk on
the cancer germ, and a possible cure for that
disease. While not definitely known as yet, it is
thought very probable that Dr. King has actually
isolated the germ. Many doctors who know of
Dr. King's work think that there is considerable
chance that he will discover a cure for the
disease.
'16 — Mrs. Helen Ganse Head, wife of Alden
F. Head died at the Newton (Mass.) Hospital,
March 30, 1920.
'17 — Mrs. Olga Sivolobov Jacob, wife of
Francis W. Jacob, was recently engaged as trans-
lator of the seventy Bolshevik and anti-Bolshevik
posters placed on exhibition in Boston by Mr.
"Thomas Whittemore, who has just returned from
relief work in South Russia. Mrs. Jacob says of
these posters that those of the Bolsheviki use the
newly introduced Russian orthography, while
those of Denikine use the old one.

Eta Charge has lost a brother, distinguished in
academic work and in public service, and
Whereas, in spite of physical disability, he was
ever an earnest worker, and attained high honors
both in college and after life, and
Whereas, his fellow citizens paid tribute to his
worth by bestowing upon him responsible offices
of his county and State, and
Whereas, by his interest in agriculture he en-
couraged and dignified that calling in this State,
therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of Eta Charge
deeply mourn the passing of one so deeply be-
loved by all who knew him into the hall of
Omega ; that their heartfelt sense of bereavement
be extended to his family in their sorrow, and
that they be assured of the inexpressible grief of
the Eta Charge at the loss of one who was bound
to it by the closest ties of friendship; and be it
further
Resolved, That these resolutions be entered
upon the records of the Eta Charge and be
published in the Bowdoin Orient; that a copy be
sent to his bereaved family, to the Grand Lodge,
to each sister Charge, to each surviving member
of his delegation, and to The Shield of Theta
Delta Chi.

Utilizing Nature's Power
ELECTRICAL energy generated by water power
has grown to be one of our greatest natural
resources — and we have only begun to reach its
possibilities. It mines and refines our ores, turns the
wheels of industry, drives our street cars and lights
our cities and towns. The power obtained from
Nature saves many million tons of coal every year.
At first the field of its utilization was limited by the distance elec-
tricity could be transported. But soon research and engineering
skill pointed the way to larger and better electrical apparatus
necessary for high-voltage transmission. Then ingenious devices
were invented to insure protection against lightning, short-circuits,
etc., which cause damage and interrupt the service. And now all
over the country a network of wires begins to appear, carrying
the magic power.
The General Electric Company, with its many years' experience,
has played a great part in hydro-electric development. By suc-
cessfully co-ordinating the inventive genius of the company and
its engineering and manufacturing abilities, it has accomplished
some of the greatest achievements injhe production and applica-
tion of electrical energy.
The old mill wheel of yesterday has gone. Today the forces of
immense volumes of water are harnessed and sent miles away to
supply the needs of industry and business and the comforts of
the home.

INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT
SPEAKERS
A series of talks on various subjects was con-
ducted last week-end by several prominent lead-
ers in the Interchurch World Movement. The
Babson Life Work Institute was in charge of the
group sent here. The first lecture was on ''The
Business Man and Religion" by H. Langdon
Pratt, the secretary and business manager of the
Babson Institute. He spoke particularly of the
necessity for the application of Christian prin-
ciples to business. Business has suffered great
periods of elevation and depression, he stated,
and when business was most prosperous, Chris-
tian principles were being applied to .the best ef-
fect. At the present time, business is at a higher
level than ever before. This lecture was in the
debating room in the library last Friday evening.
It was expected that Roger W. Babson would be
here, but a very short time before the lecture, it
was found impossible for him to come. Satur-
day morning Mr. Pratt spoke very interestingly
to the class in Economics 8.
Rev. Fletcher Parker outlined the plans for the
visit of this group of speakers in the Saturday
morning chapel service. In the evening there
was a banquet at the Hotel Eagle, given by the
Y. M. C. A. for forty students,. chosen from the
various fraternity houses. Professor Mitchell
was the toastmaster. Three of the visiting group
spoke on various aspects of missionary work.
Gren O. Pierrel, Industrial Secretary of the Wor-
cester Y. M. C. A. spoke on the "Y" as a place
for young men to invest their life work. The
second speaker was Rev. Fletcher Parker, a
young minister of Boston, who mentioned the
ministry as needing college graduates of ability.
The last speaker was Charles D. Hurrey, General
Secretary of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions of the International Y. M. C. A., who urged
men with medical training to take up the work of
medical missionaries. He also spoke of the Con-
sular Service as affording great opportunities for
men to better the lot of less fortunate countries.
•Sunday morning Mr. Hurrey spoke at the Con-
gregational Church, while Mr. Parker spoke at
the Methodist.
Both of these men talked on the expansion of
the church to meet world needs. Mr. Hurrey talk-
ed again in the afternoon at the Sunday chapel
service, on "Moral Leadership, the World's
Greatest Need." Again in the evening Mr.
Parker and Mr. Pierrel spoke in Hubbard Hall
on "Principles Governing the Choice of a Life
Work."
Much credit is due to the Bowdoin Y. M. C. A.
and especially to McGown '21, the secretary, for
securing such a fine group of speakers to lecture
to the college.
DEATH OF GENERAL JONATHAN P. CILLEY
The death on April 7 of General Jonathan
Prince Cilley, one of the best known of Maine's
surviving Civil War heroes, touches closely the
college from which he graduated in 1858, for
his family's connection with Bowdoin covers ex-
actly a period of a century. His father was the
Congressman Jonathan Cilley, — the friend of
Hawthorne, — who graduated from Bowdoin in
1825, and who was later killed in the famous
duel with Congressman Graves of Kentucky.
Jonathan C. Tibbitts of the class of 1922 is a
grandson of General Cilley. The late general
was born at Thomaston, Maine, December 29,
1835. Two years after his graduation from
Bowdoin he was admitted to the Knox County
bar, and began law practice in Thomaston. In
the early part of 1861, he enlisted in the Army.
During the retreat of General Banks from the
Shenandoah Vajley, General Cilley was taken
prisoner at Middletown, Va., and forty pieces
of bone were removed from his wounded arm
and shoulder. He was promoted to the rank of
major on April I, 1864, and ordered to report to
General John H. Martindale, military governor
of Washington, for special duty. Later he re-
joined his regiment, with which he remained un-
til June 24, 1864, when he was wounded for a
second time. At the time he rejoined his regi-
ment, he had just meen made a lieutenant-colonel.
For distinguished service he was soon promoted
to the grade of colonel, and finally on June 12,
1864, he was made Brigadier-General. After the
war he resumed his law practice in Rockland,
10
BOWDOIN ORIENT
Maine, where he remained until shortly before
his death. In 1867 he was a member of the
Maine Legislature, and from 1876 to 1878 the
state adjutant-general. He was a member of the
Psi Upsilon fraternity.
STUDENT RALLY NEXT WEEK
Plans are now being arranged for a "student
sing" to be held in Memorial Hall on the even-
ing of April 20, at seven o'clock. If the weather
is especially fine, the rally will be held on the
Art Building steps. It has been suggested
that such a rally would be just the thing
to put some energy into the coming base-
ball season. It is proposed to have a meeting of
all the students for about three-quarters of an
hour to review the standard Bowdoin songs.
The Musical Clubs will lead the singing and
give a few selections, but they are merely to
lead the singing, not to give a concert. Be-
sides ''Bowdoin Beata," "Phi Chi," "Glasses
Clinking High," and "Forward the White,"
several of the latest popular hits will be on the
program. The success of this rally depends up-
on the attendance and enthusiasm of the stu-
dents. It will be short and "full of pep." Ev-
erybody out, to make this affair a roaring suc-
cess !
MUSICAL CLUBS' PORTLAND CONCERT
The Musical Clubs presented their annual con-
cert under the auspices of the Bowdoin Club of
Portland in Frye Hall, Portland, last Saturday
night. The audience, which included many Bow-
doin alumni, was large and enthusiastic. The
program was unchanged since the last trip.
Richan '20 and Philbrick '20 had their usual suc-
cess as soloists. Asnault '20 responded to sev-
eral encores. The ensemble numbers and the
Jazz Quartet were well received. A dance fol-
lowed the concert.
VALUABLE GIFT TO THE LIBRARY
A Delphini edition of the complete works of
Horace, annotated by Cardinal Louis Desprez,
printed in London in 1762, has just been sent to
the library by Mrs. Elisabeth Winthrop, wife of
the late Robert C. "Winthrop, Jr. On the title
page there is a note stating that the book origin-
ally belonged to John Winthrop, who graduated
from Harvard in 1770, and died in 1780. At a
later period the book belonged to Thomas Lindall
Winthrop, Jr., and James Bowdoin Winthrop,
nephews of its first owner, and subsequently to
their younger brother, Robert Charles Winthrop,
who eventually gave it to his son, R. C. Winthrop,
Jr. All through the book are marginal references
by James Bowdoin Winthrop, who has indicated
on the title page that he began the reading of
Horace at Bowdoin, October 15, 1810. In the
back appear the signatures of John Winthrop
(1766) and T. L. Winthrop (1803). James
Bowdoin Winthrop graduated from Bowdoin in
1814, about a year after he had given up the
name of Winthrop, and so his name now appears
in the general catalogue as James Bowdoin. Hon.
Robert Charles Winthrop graduated from Har-
vard in 1825, and received an LL.D. from Bow-
doin in 1849.

EXCELLENT RECORD OF THE BOWDOIN
FENCING TEAM
The Bowdoin fencing team has completed an
unusually successful season this winter. It has
defeated Dartmouth and M.I.T., and has lost
to Harvard and Columbia by narrow margins.
This is a remarkable showing against teams
from colleges many times the size of Bow-
doin, and to Schlosberg '20, who has
coached the team as well as being captain and
manager of it, the highest praise is due. Og-
den has also made a fine showing, as he has suc-
cessfully met fencers of considerable experi-
ence, although this is his first season with the
foil. Schlosberg, Ogden, Osterman and Mc-
Conky have been recommended for fencing let-
ters.
The first match of the season was with Har-
vard in the Hemenway Gymnasium, February
7. Bowdoin lost 6 to 3. The next match, with
Columbia at Brunswick, was lost by only one
point,— t5 to 4. On March 13, Bowdoin met
Dartmouth and Massachusetts Institute of
Technology in a triangular meet at Hanover.
The final score was: Dartmouth 11, Bowdoin
10, M.I.T. 6. Bowdoin defeated Dartmouth 5-
4, and M.I.T. 5-4, but Dartmouth won the meet
by defeating M.I.T. y-2.
As the Bowdoin scores have not as yet been
printed in the Orient, they are given here as
follows :
Schlosberg, Bowdoin 7; Skabo, M.I.T. 6.

REGULATIONS CONCERNING MAJOR
EXAMINATIONS
At a meeting of the faculty on March 22, the
following rules were adopted in regard to the
general examinations in major subjects:
1. Time of examination.
(a) The examination shall be held some
time during the senior year at the dis-
cretion of the department.
(b) A student failing the major exami-
nation shall not be allowed a reexami-
nation during the same year, except by
special vote of the faculty. He shall,
however, have the right to take an ex-
amination the next fall and to secure his
degree upon passing it if all the other
requirements are satisfied.
2. Nature of the examination.
(a) The student before taking the exami-
nation shall satisfy the department that
he is prepared by having made a thor-
ough review of the courses presented
for the major, and by having done what-
ever additional work the department has
recommended.
(b) The examination shall consist mainly
of a written test; but this test may be
supplemented at the discretion of the
department by an oral test to which the
president and other members of the
group shall be invited.

Keeping Fit.
Now that compulsory gym is over, those of
us who are lucky enough to have no make-ups
have a tendency to neglect our physical side. It
is very natural and pleasant to spend the after-
noon on a couch or in an easy chair concen-
trating on the latest current fiction, but does such
a practise insure the best bodily and mental de-
velopment ?
It is true enough that last week did not
prove very tempting to the most ardent lover
of outdoors with its winter "hangover." Such
inclement weather cannot last long, however,
and it behooves us to get outdoors for the pur-
pose of following some pastime energetically
and enthusiastically. Coach Houser will
doubtless welcome any additional candidates for
the varsity baseball squad, which has already
commenced its work-outs on Whittier Field.
For those who do not have the ambition or
ability to try out for varsity baseball the In-
tcrfraternity League offers a tempting field for
the amateur baseball player. There he has at
the same time an opportunity to display his
skill and boost his fraternity, besides having a
good time and getting a good amount of
healthy exercise. Coach Magee also has a wel-
come for those who wish to try their hand at
track. Here is an excellent opportunity to
make good under an experienced master. Oth-
er outdoor diversions that ought to prove pop-
ular are golf and tennis. Some of the golfers
have already made their appearance, while the
tennis courts will soon be in shape. If the stu-
dent does not care for the realm of sport he
can at least spend his time profitably by
taking hikes to the many interesting points
around Brunswick.
The idea is, don't let your winter gymnasium
work go to waste. Continue to keep yourself
in good physical condition by participation in
some healthy outdoor sport or pastime. Men
of Bowdoin, "snap out of it." — keep fit.
PRAISE FOR AMERICAN ATHLETICS
There is an article on "Athletic Science" by
Captain F. A. M. Webster in the London Sunday
Sportsman for March 21, in which H. S. White
'17 is cited as an excellent example of the finished
athlete turned out by an American coach. To
Bowdoin men who know the scientific training
White received from Jack Magee, this will be no
such surprise as it was to the Englishmen. The
article is as follows :
"There is at Oxford University at the present
time an American scholar, H. S. White
(Bowdoin College, U.S.A., and Brasenose, Ox-
ford), whose high jumping performances pro-
vide a complete answer to the often asked ques-
tion, "Why do the Americans always beat us in
International competition?" It is because in the
United States athletics are treated as an exact
science.
"There is a reason for each little twist and
body movement; each smallest detail is carefully
thought out, and its value assessed. Hence the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
13
world's records established in America are of
such magnitude as could not be attained by nat-
ural strength, spring or swiftness of foot alone.
"Nor do the Americans rely upon mental analy-
sis alone to reach their results; photography and
kinematography are fully employed in the study
of athletics as an exact science.
"Films of athletes in action are taken at the
highest possible speed, and are subsequently pro-
jected upon the screen so slowly that every last
detail of movement, down to the final flip of the
shot putter's fingers as he delivers the weight, is
made plain. Apart from this, the whole effort
can thus be studied as a progressive movement
in detail; points of perfection indicated and faults
corrected.
"Another point in which the Americans score
over us is that they never hesitate to take trouble
for fear of being" laughed at or called 'sidey.'
"When the American long-jumper goes out to
compete he measures his run-up accurately, and
tests it before attempting to jump; the high-
jumper ties a white handkerchief to the bar as
an aid to vision, and asks to have the take-off spot
rolled the moment the cinders show signs of
working loose. Apart from these matters, the
American athlete is not content to do rfis natural
best, but practices and trains until perfection of
balance and body movement are attained. Nor
are they content to go upon the lines laid down,
but keep on experimenting until the perfect style
is evolved which best suits their own personal
requirements.
"It is these little, but none the less vital, 'tricks
of the trade' that our men must acquire if we
are to do ourselves justice at future Olympic
Games. We have men ' of wonderful natural
ability, of that there can be no doubt, but it must
be our business and, incidentally, their own, to
put them upon the equality in teaching and train-
ing with their foreign antagonists."
Campus jRetos
The beautiful calla lilies on the reading desk at
chapel during the past week were an Easter gift
from Mrs. Forbes Rickard of Denver, in memory
of Forbes Rickard, Jr., '17, who was killed in the
war.
Harvey Doe ex-'20 was on the campus April
ninth.
At a meeting of the Orient Board last
Thursday it was announced that Mr. Arthur G.
Staples, editor of the Lezviston Journal, would
address the Board sometime during the last of
April. Mr. Staples graduated in the Class of
18S2 and was given the degree of Master of Arts
last year.
Professor Kimball of Smith College who was
to address the students on Wednesday evening,
April 7, on the subject of "Constitutional Ob-
stacles to International Comity," was unable to
reach Brunswick in time for the lecture. Pro-
fessor Kimball has been speaking at several
near-by colleges.
Schonland '21 underwent an operation for
appendicitis last week in a Portland hospital.
The game with Harvard, scheduled for Satur-
day at Soldiers' Field, had to be cancelled on ac-
count of wet grounds.
William Angus '19 was on the Campus last
week.
Monday the Masque and Gown played "Believe
Me Xantippe" to a large and appreciative audi-
ence at the Augusta Opera House, Augusta. As
this is the fifth presentation of the play, and as
it is to be put on in Westbrook sometime in May,
it will undoubtedly be a finished production by
Ivy. There has been one change in the cast
since the Portland trip. Crosby Redman has
taken the place of Lea Reiber who left college
just before Easter.
On Monday, April 5, there appeared in the
Lezviston Journal a letter addressed to the Editor
of the Orient, and signed by Frederick L. Smith
'86, Penn Charter School. This letter with its
interesting proposal of a memorial boulevard
around the campus, to be named for Professor
Files, the Orient did not receive, and does not
now print, because it has already appeared and
been commented on in several newspapers.
jFacultp Jftotes
Dr. Gross gave a talk on milk inspection in its
relation to public health in the Brunswick High
School building last Thursday evening.
Professor Elliott has published in the English
Journal for March an article entitled "When
Greek meets Anglo-Saxon." This is a keen criti-
cism of the ideals and methods that prevail in the
teaching of English Literature in American grad-
uate schools.
alumni Department
The Orient desires to be of the greatest possible
service to Alumni in keeping them informed of
one another's activities. Alumni, and especially
class secretaries, are earnestly requested to sup-
port the Orient in this work by sending items
about themselves or their brother Alumni. All
such communications should be addressed to the

Hall of Theta of Delta Kappa Epsilon :
It was with great regret that Theta Chapter re-
cently learned of the death of Brother Charles
Alcott Flagg of the class of 1894. Brother Flagg
received the degree of B. L. S. from the Univer-
sity of the State of New York, and A. M. from
George Washington University.
He was for several years sub-librarian in the
New York State Library in charge of -history
and geneology and later was appointed specialist
in American History in the Congressional Li-
brary at Washington. Brother Flagg was also
the author of a number of historical works and
member of several historical, genealogical, and
librarians' associations.
In recent years Brother Flagg has been librari-
an of the Bangor public library and his death is
a great loss to the city.

BOWDOIN 23, FORT WILLIAMS 1.
In a decidedly uninteresting game on Whittier
Field last Saturday Bowdoin administered an
overwhelming defeat to the team from Fort Wil-
liams of Portland. Twenty-two players figured
in the Bowdoin line-up, aggregating a total of
twenty-two hits, and twenty-three runs. Needel-
man was the high man at the bat with five clean
singles out of five at bats. J. Smith drove out
four hits, two of them doubles, out of six chances.
He was the only player to remain in the game
for the full nine innings, and he showed up very
well at third in his first game for Bowdoin.
Handy, another freshman, allowed no one to
steal a base on him during his six innings of
playing. Coach Houser sent in five pitchers dur-
ing the contest, and also other substitutes for
every other position except third base. In the
third' inning, Cook was the chief factor in the
first triple play seen on Whittier Field for a long-
time. With men on first and second, Cook
stabbed Ledou's liner, touched second, and re-
layed the ball to Clifford before the other runner
could get back to first. Bowdoin made the game
a farce at the very start by piling up eleven
runs in the first inning on eight hits, six errors,
and a base on balls. Morrell amused the crowd
his first time up by hitting eleven fouls, a num-
ber of them over the grand stand, before taking
his base- on balls. A neat one-hand catch by
Davis of a fly to short left in the seventh, and
Joe Smith's catch of Patterson's hit in the fourth,
together with Cook's triple play, were the chief
fielding features of the game.

The result of the game seems especially good
in that Fort Williams held Bates to the score
of 4 to 3 a day or two before. This contest
was an excellent preparation for the hard week
of the Massachusetts trip.

BASEBALL PROSPECTS.
Coach Ben Houser has been whipping the
many canditates for the varsity baseball team
into the best of condition. There has been
daily practice out-of-doors since the Easter re-
cess and the diamond is now in good condition
for a game. There is a large and rich supply
of material this year and everyone is entering
into the game with the spirit which means fu-
ture victories.
The Harvard game was postponed until Ap-
ril 27, at the request of the Harvard manager,
the diamond being too wet and the weather too
cold for baseball. This was not altogether a
misfortune because the Bowdoin nine had not
had sufficient practice to show up in its best
form, and several players would have been un-
able to play for various reasons.
There is a wealth of material out this season
and Coach Houser predicts a season of many
successes. There are three varsity pitchers re-
maining from last season, Mason, Flinn, and
Tuttle, and the heaviest twirling will fall to
their lot, although they will be ably supported
by Walker, Whitman, and several other men
who are showing good form. The infield
promises to be one of the snappiest in years.
Clifford on first base, Captain Cook on second,
Morrell at short-stop, and J. Smith on third
base are now working in fine style, while sev-
eral men are pressing them hard for their po-
sitions. The freshman class has contributed an
unusually large number of candidates, of whom
Hill, Smith, Handy, Towne, G. T. Davis, and
Walker are all possible letter men this year.
This list of candidates with mam' others are
working hard for the stiff schedule which faces
them. Coach Houser does not expect to have
a spectacular performance at first but is confi-
dent that as the ■season progresses, the caliber
of the team will increase steadily. He puts
great trust in the spirit which is being exhibit-
ed in the daily practices and feels that with the
combination of this material, spirit, and prac-
tice, he can assure Bowdoin of a team of
which she can be justly proud.
TRACK LETTERS.
At a meeting of the Athletic Council last
week, track letters were awarded to the follow-
ing men for performances this winter: L. H.

The Baseball Team.
The baseball team at its initial appearance
against Fort Williams last Saturday made a
showing that gives Bowdoin supporters reason to
believe that they will be proud of their outfit be-
fore the season ends. While the team did not
meet as strong competition as could be desired,
there was an opportunity to size up the excel-
lent material. While there were several changes
from last year's line-up the team work and team
spirit of the White was noticeable and commend-
Keeping Off the Grass.
As the campus gradually lends itself to easier
navigation, Bowdoin upperclassmen are exercis-
ing their time-honored privilege of cutting across
the grass. While it may not be desirable to
abolish the practice, it is well, especially at this
season of the year, to use some discretion in
walking on the soft turf. Until the grass is well
started, trespassing upon it is likely to check its
growth and to cause unsightly cross paths, un-
less care is taken. At all times of the year
the appearance of both the paths and grass will
be improved, if students will take the trouble to
walk within the paths rather than on their sides,
as is done too commonly.
Perhaps the best thing to say in regard to this
matter is : don't walk upon the grass unless
there is an advantage to be gained by so doing.
When one has occasion to hurry, it is quite
natural to take short cuts. Too often, however,
in this case, we abuse our privilege by using it
when there is no necessity for it. Let's all co-
operate by taking heed to the points mentioned in
order to make the campus present, even more
than usual, its attractive aspect at Ivy and Com-
mencement.
MEMORIAL BOULEVARD AROUND THE
CAMPUS.
The Orient is glad to print the following-
letter which was intended originally for the col-
lege paper, but failed to reach us in time to ap-
pear simultaneously at Bowdoin and in some of
the leading journals of the state. The first part
of this communication was Mr. Smith's comment
on the attitude of the Philadelphia Alumni to-
BOWDOIN ORIENT
21
wards his proposal, while the last part is his
letter proper, describing his suggestion in more
detail.
"Cyrus K. Curtis, President of the Curtis Pub-
lishing Company, entertained the Bowdoin Club
of Philadelphia in the banquet hall of his mag-
nificent building. on Independence Square. In
the absence of President Sanborn, Frederick L.
Smith of the Penn Charter School, Bowdoin
'86, former president of the Philadelphia Club,
presided. Among the measures discussed in the
interest of the college a proposition of a road-
way around the college, dedicated to the mem-
ory of George T. Files and set with memorials
to Bowdoin's distinguished sons, received unan-
imous endorsement of the Club. Mr. Curtis, in
particular, was very cordial in the support of
this idea, inasmuch as he is a loyal son of Bow-
doin, whose mother was born in Brunswick.
"It was definitely stipulated by the Club that
in promoting this idea, the more vital matter of
providing adequate endowment for the increase
of salaries of Bowdoin's teaching staff should
receive first attention."
Mr. Smith's letter to the Bowdoin Orient
follows :
"To the Editor of the Bowdoin Orient:
"The great majority of the graduates of Bow-
doin College in the past have been natives of
the Pine Tree State. The College campus has
always been associated in their minds with the
whispering pines of Longfellow and Kellogg".
The location of the college is ideal, its stately
pines typify its close relation to the honored
Commonwealth which shelters Bowdoin. Her
students are inspired by the sacred memories
of her distinguished sons. In many ways the
development of the campus has kept pace with
the academic progress of the curriculum. Mem-
orial gates and paths shaded by stately trees
enhance the natural beauties of its location.
"In one particular, however, the campus is
notoriously incomplete. Unfortunately this de-
fect interferes seriously with the due appreci-
ation of its many charms. I refer to the condi-
tion of the streets which border the campus.
This condition is little better than that which
characterizes the many wood roads which amble
across the plains of Brunswick. During the
spring and summer months motor parties from
all over the country are seeking a season of re-
pose in the mountain and shore resorts of
Maine. Practically all these pass through
Brunswick over the magnificent boulevard that
spans the state. A detour from the beautiful
highway to encircle the roads which bound fa-
.nous Bowdoin, the Alma Mater of distin-
guished poets and statesmen, is an experience
little likely to be repeated, owing to the almost
impassable condition of the roadway.
"In his tribute to Prof. Files in chapel, Presi-
dent Sills said that it had always been one of
the fondest traditions of the college that the
members of the faculty should take a lively in-
terest in the affairs of the community. George
Taylor Files, of the Class of '89, devoted his
life to the service of Bowdoin. In his devotion
to the college, however, he never lost sight of
the claims of his native state. He was a pio-
neer in the movement for better roads. The
present system of trunk lines across the state
is a monument to his zeal and enthusiasm in
this progressive movement.
"Such efforts as Prof. Files and those asso-
ciated with him made in the cause of good
roads are utterly devoid of the incentives of
spectacular triumphs. They are rather anala-
gous to the sacrifices of physicians, who give
their lives in their experiments for the allevi-
ation of human suffering.
"What monument better calculated to visual-
ize and perpetuate the work of this champion
of good roads could be devised than a perma-
nent highway around the campus?
"The opportunity which such a permanent
boulevard about the college would afford for
the erection of memorials to Longfellow, Haw-
thorne, Kellogg, President Pierce, General
Chamberlain, Speaker Reed, Chief Justice Full-
er, and Admiral Peary and other distinguished
sons of Bowdoin is at once evident. As a
means of bringing to the attention of the pres-
ent generation the great work Bowdoin has per-
formed in the past in training her sons to the
broadest service of the state and nation, such
a roadway dedicated to the memory of Prof.
George Taylor Files and marked with appro-
priate memorials to her distinguished sons,
would ever remain an inspiration to similar
service in state and nation.
"Frederick L. Smith."
BETA THETA PI 5, ZETA PSI 0.
Last Thursday afternoon the Beta Theta Pi
baseball team played Zeta Psi in the first game
of the season. The game, which ran through
seven rather slow innings, resulted in a 5-0 vic-
tory for the Beta team. Wing '23 with fifteen
strike-outs to his credit was a sensation in the
Beta pitching box. Haggerty '20 played a good

The Democratic Club, which has been a
prominent factor in the college during previ-
ous presidential campaigns, met in the library,
April 12, to make plans for a revival of the or-
ganization. Williams '21 was elected president,
and Harmon '22 secretary and treasurer. The
club will listen from time to time to prominent
democratic speakers, and the members plan
next fall to take the stump for the democratic
nominee.
The Bowdoin second team defeated the Cabots
of Brunswick on the Whittier Field Monday
morning by a score of 7 to 2. Walker '23 pitched
for Bowdoin, and Marston '21 caught. Graves
'20 did the twirling for the town team. Mason
'23 and Walker drove out a three-base hit apiece,
while McLellan '21 also got in some good hits.
Last week the college received a large "grand-

TYPES and TASTES
In College Men
We've experience in analyzing these. You can pretty nearly determine a
man's taste by his type — we're eminently successful in suiting both. The
character, complexion, bearing of each individual man enables us at first
sight to judge the sort of model, fabric or pattern that will appeal to his
taste, and through our immense variety we have little difficulty picking out
the right thing in a Suit or Overcoat. Mr: Jack Handy '23 at the Zeta Psi
House is our representative, and anything you wish in the way of Shirts,
Neckwear, Shoes, Hosiery, Pajamas, etc., he will be glad to take your order.

BOWDOIN 12, BATES 2, IN EXHIBITION
GAME.
Bowdoin won an easy victory over Bates on
Patriots' Day in the annual exhibition game. On
account of the wet field at Bates the game was
played on the Auburn Athletic Association Park.
With a team that was superior both^ in batting
and fielding, Bowdoin led Bates all through the
game. Bates used four pitchers but Bowdoin
batted out a twelve to two victory, earning eight
of its runs. The score:

BOWDOIN LOSES TO WESLEYAN.
In a loose game on Andrews Field last
Thursday afternoon, April 22, Wesleyan
brought disaster to Bowdoin in the first game
of Bowdoin's New England trip. Vice Presi-
dent George M. Dutcher threw the first ball,
opening the season for Wesleyan.
The first three innings of the game were
well played, and no runs resulted, so that the
800 fans expected a close game. Immediately
after this, however, Mason was hit hard by the
Wesleyan batters, eight runs being scored in
the next three innings. Tuttle replaced Mason
on the mound and held the Middletown college
to one hit during the remainder of the game.
Needelman and Cook played a good game for
Bowdoin, and Raines excelled for Wesleyan.

BOWDOIN 3, ANSELMS 3.
In the game at Manchester, N. H., last Satur-
day Bowdoin and St. Anselms played a tie game,
called at the end of the tenth inning because of
cold weather. The game was marked by many
errors on both sides. This was due to a large ex-
tent to the extreme cold of the afternoon.
The first inning was distastrous to Bowdoin
as St. Anselms started with two runs, obtained
largely through infield errors on the part of
Bowdoin. After this inning the game was de-
cidedly in favor of the White. Both Flinn and
Laughery pitched good ball during the entire
game. Joe Smith played a good game both on
third base and at bat. Handy, Cook, and Mor-
rill each made two hits for Bowdoin. These
hits however were so scattered that they were
not used to great advantage in bringing in runs.
The members of the Bowdoin nine, however,
feel confident that- they can assure the college
of a victory when St. Anselms plays at Bruns-
wick, May 5. The score:

LECTURE BY WALTER A. ROBINSON.
Walter A. Robinson of the Class of 1876
gave a very interesting illustrated lecture under
the auspices of the Ibis at Memorial Hall, Fri-
day evening. Mr. Robinson's subject was "The
Battle and Training Areas in France during
the Summer of 1919." He showed many scenes,
familiar in name to every one, where Co. C of
the I02d Machine Gun Battalion, in which his
son was a lieutenant, was in action. Among
the slides were many showing the ruin brought
about by the war; some of Domremy, the birth-
place of Joan of Arc; Neuf Chateau, Vailly,
the Soissons and Toul sectors, and the terri-
tory covered in the St. Mihiel Drive. In the
course of the lecture Mr. Robinson gave an in-
timate picture of the life of the small towns of
France. The lecture meant more to the audi-
ence for the reason that the 26th division had
traversed nearly the same districts.
POET AND EXPLORER.
Among those interesting old papers in the
Library that contain such riches of Bowdoin
history, is a simple little Ivy Day Program, a
card in vivid green border and ribbon, — and from
it we reprint the following Ode. It was de-
li iered in King Chapel on June 6, 1876, when '77
held its Ivy exercises, and the author's name
appears as "Bert Peary." The explorer of
Arctic fame and world reputation spoke even
then of "paths that lead far hence," and there
is in this youthful verse the firmness of purpose,
the earnestness, and the impelling imagination
that sent its author to solve his own "future's
mystery." On the card appears also the name
of John E. Chapman '77, now of Brunswick,
brother of the late Professor Chapman.
Ivy Ode.
Bert Peary.
Air — "Music in the Air."
"O ! Ivy ever true, just awakening from thy sleep.
Henceforth like vestal pure thou a sacred trust dost
keep :
Take thou then by subtle art of our throbbing lives a
BOWDOIN ORIENT
Fill thy veins with richest life for the future's storm
and strife.
"All through the coming years in thy leaves of darkest
green,
Upon the Chapel walls will our peerless name be seen ;
All our hearts beat fast and strong, beat to send thy
life along,
Every thought goes out to thee and the future's
mystery.
"Let others praise thy trust, but thy leaves remind us
now,
Of ages long gone by, when they decked young
Bacchus' brow ;
So may we, O Ivy fair, ever keep away despair,
And with Ivy crowns always live our lives through
fresh and gay.
"But not for joy alone dost thou stand the symbol fair.
We see thy dark leaves gleam in the Isthmian victor's
hair ;
Wreath the garland, shape the crown, we will hunt
Dame Fortune down,
And her vanquished hand shall pour richest gifts our
pathways o'er.
"Thus speaks the noble vine in a glorious triple sense,
Its voice shall guide us all, though our paths may lead
far hence ;
Now God speed thee gentle vine, softly o'er these gray
walls twine,
Meeting every stranger's eyes with a vision's glad sur-
prise."
Among" old programs of interest is another
of the Sophomore Prize Declamations, June 30,
1884, consisting of twelve numbers, largely his-
torical ! While a modern audience might resent
so long a list, it has seemed regrettable that the
Commencement Day program, for instance,
should have been limited in recent years to four
speakers instead of the earlier six, for a "piece,"
well spoken, and even more an original part, is
always a pleasure to the audience of parents and
friends, for whom after all that day chiefly
exists. In a Senior class with a large number of
provisional appointments, four seems a small
representation.
STUDENT RALLY.
The first rally of the baseball season was well
attended and enthusiastic. The time was taken
up for the most part with singing the old Bow-
doin songs that had fallen into disuse because
of the war. To many members of the Class of
1923 these songs were a wonderful surprise, as
few of them had realized the great fund of
songs that Bowdoin has. Under the direction
of Richan '20 and with the help of the Musical
Clubs, the undergraduates made Memorial Hall
ring with "Forward the White," and "We'll
Sing To Old Bowdoin." One could not help
feeling that this sing was a great step toward
regaining the traditional Bowdoin "spirit." In
the near future several more rallies will be
held, out doors if possible.
A new method of choosing cheer leaders was
announced by Cleaves '20 between the songs.
Hereafter candidates from the Junior class will
compete for nomination like the candidates for
managerships. The two nominees picked by the
Student Council will be voted upon by the stu-
dent body.
BRADBURY DEBATING TRIALS
Last Tuesday the debaters of the college met
in the Debating Room of Hubbard Hall to com-
pete for places on the team. The subject under
discussion was "Resolved: That the Lloyd
George plan for Home Rule in Ireland should
be adopted." The judges were Professor Mit-
chell, Professor Catlin, and Professor Van
Cleve. The affirmative team was chosen as
follows: Badger '21, Little '23, Nixon '21, and
Haines '21 (alternate). The negative team is
composed of the following men: Finnegan '2^,
Mitchell '23, Thayer '22, and Laughlin '21 (al-
ternate). These men will represent the college
in the intercollegiate debates.
JAMES L. DOHERTY '89 ON IMPORTANT
BOARD OF ARBITRATORS.
James L. Doherty' 89, who was elected to the
Board of Overseers last June, was named on the
17th of April as a member of the Board of Arbi-
trators to act in the dispute between the Car-
men's Union and the Boston Elevated Railway
Company.
The appointment came as a result of con-
ferences between representatives of the carmen
and the Elevated Company. The board will de-
cide upon the requests of the union for changes
in hours and working conditions and increases
in pay.
Mr. Doherty's name was on the list suggested
by Governor Coolidge, and both sides to the con-
troversy consider that he is especially well quali-
fied for the position and that he can be depended
upon to act fairly and impartially on the issues
involved.
It is expected that Mr. Doherty will go to
Boston this week and that hearings will begin
at once in an attempt to reach a conclusion be-
fore May 1, when the present agreement as to
wages will expire.

The Proposed Memorial Boulevard.
The proposal of Frederick L. Smith, of the
Class of 1886, for a boulevard dedicated to the
memory of the late Professor- George T. Files,
of the Class of 1889, seems a timely and logical
suggestion. To all familiar with the appearance
of the College and its surroundings the slack
condition of the roads around the campus is not
only unsightly, but also is an actual obstruction
to walking during the spring months on account
of the poor surface drainage.
As Mr. Smith intimates, there will be an added
inducement for tourists to view the College, if
the campus is surrounded by a well-paved and
beautiful drive. In this age of the automobile
the proposition ought to be received .with all
the more favor. And as the originator of the
idea also states, a boulevard would be particu-
larly fitting because of the active interest that
Professor Files took in advancing the good roads
movement.
The project appears to be ideal in presenting
to the public view memorials of famous alumni.
It would not only be an attractive means of
showing how Bowdoin had honored her great
men, but also would indicate what great men
she had and their claim to greatness.
The plan has the additional strength of being-
backed by at least one strong alumni organiza-
tion. It seems probable too that other organiza-
tions will fall in line with the idea. The support
of the alumni ought to insure sufficient financial
backing to carry the plan to completion. It cer-
tainly has qualities that should appeal very
strongly to both undergraduates and alumni.
Communication.
April 4, 1920.
To the Editor of the Orient:
Just a little in the way of endorsement of the
editorial, "Keeping Fit." I think, while it is the
sentiment of most undergraduates, that such ad-
monition is timely and needful. It reminds me
of another editorial which appeared in a journal
or magazine only a few days ago. The sub-
stance of that was comment on excessive pat-
ronage of athletic games, and participation there-
in, rather for excitement's sake than for benefit
derived. It declared, plainly enough, that our
sports were gradually approaching the danger
line of existing as an end rather than as a means.
It concluded that such a process, if persistently
followed, would result in a state of affairs rather
deplorable. I think we will all agree that as
a means to greater ends adequate physical exer-
cise is indispensable, but to what extent is the
premise true? It is an interesting thing to think
about. R.W.N. ('21)
GOLF BOOM UNDER WAY.
During the first four days of this week a golf
tournament is being held with the idea of bring-
ing out material for a golf team and of advanc-
ing interests in this sport which is being received
with such great favor by students at the present
time. This is to be followed by other tourna-
BOWDOIN ORIENT
29
ments throughout the spring. It is hoped to hold
a match play championship ..tournament later for
the College title. Already negotiations are under
way for team matches with Portland and Au-
gusta. Any men interested in golf and who wish
to be put on the handicap list, thereby becoming
elegible for future tournaments, should com-
municate with Rounds '20, who is in charge of
the activity this spring.
The tournament will be played under rules of
the United States Golf Association, subject to
changes as by local rules which are posted on
the bulletin board. Score cards must be kept
by every player for himself and opponent, these
attested by each, and turned in before 6.30 p. m.
Thursday, April 29. Matches may be played at
any time between Monday morning and Thurs-
day night except that men matched as opponents
must turn in their scores for the first eighteen
holes they play. All matches are for two con-
secutive nine hole rounds which is equivalent to
one eighteen hole round.
MUSICAL CLUBS END SEASON.
The Musical Clubs on last Saturday evening
ended the most successful season for years with
a concert in Lewiston City Hall. The clubs went
to Lewiston under the auspices of the Lewiston
High School, and were greeted by a large audi-
ence. The usual program was followed by a
dance. It is worthy of especial note that the
Bowdoin Clubs could appear twice in the same
community with success. A concert was given
in Auburn in March, and Auburn is locally called
the "Twin-city" of Lewiston.
Eleven concerts, every one of which was a
real success, have been presented this season.
Four states have been visited. The College has
a right to be proud of the clubs for they have
helped greatly to maintain her honor and fame.
The success of the season is due in no small
measure to Professor Wass who has spent much
time in coaching the singing. Manager Berry,
it is needless to say, deserves a large share of
the credit. Leaders Richan and Sprince inspired
the men by their hard and tireless work. How-
ever, the fine spirit of co-operation shown by
every member of the clubs was the deciding
factor in the success of the season.

LECTURE BY DR. CHARLES UPSON CLARK.
Under the auspices of the Classical Club, Dr.
Charles Upson Clark will lecture on "Adriatic
Problems" tomorrow evening in Memorial Hall.
Dr. Clark was formerly professor of Latin at
Yale, from which he graduated in 1897 at the
head of his class. In 1916 he was appointed to*
the very important position of director of the
School of Classical Studies of the American
Academy in Rome. In recent years he has
lectured very widely in this country on many
subjects. During the war Dr. Clark had in-
terviews with a large number of statesmen and
rulers in the belligerent countries. Two years
ago he lectured in America for the Propaganda
Bureau of the Italian Government. This year
he has spoken at many of the universities and
colleges of the country. Bowdoin is indeed for-
tunate to have this opportunity of hearing a
speaker who is such a profound scholar in the
classics, and so widely recognized as a lecturer.
jFacuItp i3otes
Professor Mitchell preached at the Congre-
gational church at Wilton on April 16, and in
the evening delivered a lecture on the life of
Theodore Roosevelt.

Campus I3etos
The April Quill in the form of a "Spring
Verse Number" with an attractive cover of gray,
has received great praise, not only the much
valued commendation of President Sills in
chapel, but also the hearty approval of the
Campus. Such a number gives pleasant assur-
ance of the persistence of the poetic impulse even
in a day of harsher and more trying interests.

'75 — Following is a copy of a statement con-
tained in the Simmons College Review of
March, 1920, which refers to Professor E. H.
Hall, of the Class of '75, Bowdoin College:
"At the meeting of the Faculty of Simmons
College held on January 20, 1920, it was voted
that the following memorial be placed on the
Faculty records of Simmons College, and that a
copy be sent to Professor E. H. Hall, of Har-
vard University : The Faculty of Simmons Col-
lege having learned that Professor Edwin Her-
bert Hall, Rumford Professor of Physics in
Harvard University, served as a voluntary
policeman during the recent police strike in Bos-
ton, that during this period Professor Hall pa-
trolled for a number of nights that portion of
the city known as 'The Simmons College beat,'
and that thereby he aided in securing protection
to the College property, the Faculty wishes to
place on its records and to express to Professor
Hall the College's profound appreciation of and
its lasting gratitute for the service thus rendered
the College, a service probably without parallel
in the history of colleges, a service gladly given
from a busy and distinguished life, at a sacrifice
of personal comfort and at the risk of life itself.
The great scientist in his service for others has
again shown himself a- chief among men."

RESOLUTION.
Hall of the Kappa Chapter of Psi Upsilon:
It is with a profound sense of sorrow that the
Kappa Chapter of Psi Upsilon records the death
of Brother Jonathan Prince Cilley of the Class
of 1858. Brother Cilley's life was one of true
service to his country and those with whom he
was associated. His record in the Civil War
was one bringing high honor to himself and his
college, and his career since as a loyal citizen
and friend is worthy of equal approbation.
The Kappa extends to his relatives and friends
her deepest sympathy.

BOWDOIN WINS RELAY AT PENNSYLVANIA
CARNIVAL.
Bowdoin, the only small college in New Eng-
land to be represented at the 26th Annual Relay
Carnival of the University of Pennsylvania, won
its event last Saturday with flying colors. Cap-
tain Dostie, M. H. Smith, Hatch, Goodwin, and
Parent went on the trip with Coach Magee.
Parent started for Bowdoin, and immediately
jumped into the lead which he held almost to
the end of his race. Smith immediately passed
his opponent, and Hatch increased the lead.
Goodwin started oft" with a 20-yard lead, but the
Rochester anchor man made a wonderful spurt,
which reduced the Bowdoin star's lead to 10
yards. Each man ran a quarter of a mile. The
time was three minutes, thirty-eight and three-
fifths seconds. Rochester finished second and
Buffalo third. By this fine showing the team
certainly repaid the Philadelphia Alumni who
defrayed the expenses. When the news of the
victory reached the campus late Saturday night,
some of the students, disappointed in their hopes
of a celebration in the afternoon, organized an
impromptu parade, and with a small but noisy
bank marched around the campus and down
town. The festivities were completed with a
bonfire in front of the chapel.
COLBY TOPS BOWDOIN IN CLOSE GAME.
Before a large crowd of fans on Whittier
Field last Saturday afternoon, Bowdoin dropped
the first game of the Maine series to Colby in a
very tight game, the score being I to o. The
game was marked by the good fielding and in-
different hitting of both teams. Both Flinn for
Bowdoin and Bucknam for Colby pitched fine
ball. Bowdoin obtained six hits off Bucknam
while Colby drew only four from Flinn. Buck-
nam's underhand and spit ball delivery along
with some bad breaks of the game kept Bow-
doin's hits so scattered that the White was un-
able to put a man across. Williams of Colby
in the fourth inning obtained the only score of
the game; driving the ball far out into left field
for a three base hit, he beat Hall's throw to the
plate on Lampher's sacrifice fly. In the last two
innings Bowdoin's cheering section tried loudly
but in vain to start the team on a rally to tie the
Score.
First Inning.
Colby — Taylor, the first to the plate for
Colby, hit weakly to Clifford who put
him out at first. Williams struck out. Lampher
knocked a short infield fly to Smith at third.
No runs, no hits, no errors.
Bowdoin — Needelman, after making several
fouls, hit over third base for a clean single. Cook
fouled out to Wills. Smith singled between third
and short, advancing Needelman to second.
Needelman stole third and Smith immediately
after went to second. Morrell struck out. Hall
only popped a short fly to Good. No runs, two
hits, no errors.
Second Inning.
Colby — Good drove a liner past second base.
Bucknam was out on a short fly to Morrell. In
the next play, Good attempted to steal second
but was put out on a perfect throw by Handy
to Morrell. Willis, the next man at bat, grounded
to Clifford who relayed the ball to Flinn, who
had covered first. No runs, one hit, no errors.
Bowdoin — Clifford was out, Bucknam to Wills.
Doherty was retired on a grounder to Good.
Handy poled out a high fly to Fraas who made
a pretty catch. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Third Tinning.
Colby — Greenlaw struck out. Tyler hit to
Morrell who made a difficult stop getting his
man at first. Fraas fanned. No runs, no hits,
no errors.
Bowdoin — Flinn hit to Greenlaw at third base,
who threw him out at first. Needelman hit to
Bucknam who easily put him out at first. Cook
walked. Smith knocked a high fly to Tyler in
right field. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Fourth Inning.
Colby — Taylor went out on a short fly to Flinn.
Williams, the next batter for Colby, then drove
out the best hit of the game. He sent the ball
34
BOWDOIN ORIENT
far over Doherty's head in left field and reached
third. Lampher lifted a sacrifice fly to Hall and
Williams came home before the throw to the
plate. Good struck out. One run, one hit, no
errors.
Bowdoin — Morrell struck out. Hall was put
out at first by a throw from Lampher. Clifford
sent a long fly into the hands of Williams in left
field. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Fifth Inning.
Colby— Bucknam flied to Hall. Wills hit to
Cook, who made an error, allowing the latter to
reach first in safety. Greenlaw hit a foul fly to
Smith, who in attempting to catch Wills off first,
threw wild, allowing the runner to go to second.
Tyler, the next at bat, hit to Flinn, who put him
out at first base. No. runs, no hits, two errors.
Bowdoin — Doherty struck out. Handy hit to
Good who threw him out at first. Flinn then
landed a safe hit through second base. Needel-
man followed with another single advancing
Flinn to second. Cook hit to short and was out
at first. No runs, two hits, no errors.
Sixth Inning.
Colby— Fraas knocked a long fly to Hall, who
made a pretty catch. Taylor hit to Clifford who
retired him at first. Williams drove the ball
down to Morrell who threw him out in excellent
fashion. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Bowdoin — Smith grounded out to Bucknam.
Morrell was thrown out at first by Lampher.
Hall struck out. No runs, no hits, no errors.
Seventh Inning. .
Colby — Lampher got a safe hit to right field.
In the next play, however, Flinn caught him fast
asleep off first base. Good hit to Morrell, and
was out at first. Bucknam popped a high foul
to Smith. No runs, one hit, no errors.

short fly. Doherty hit to Good who threw him
out at first. Handy struck out. No runs, no
hits, no errors.
Eighth Inning.
Colby — Wills singled to right. Greenlaw
bunted and Handy threw high, the ball passing
through Clifford's hands, letting Wills go to
third and leaving Greenlaw on first. Greenlaw
went to second, the only stolen base off Handy
during the game. With none out, Flinn began
pitching airtight ball and retired the side with-
out a run. Tyler fanned, and Fraas was out,
Flinn to Clifford. Handy caught Taylor's high
foul. No runs, one hit, one error.
Bowdoin — Flinn beat out a hit down the third
base line. Needelman sacrificed, Greenlaw to
Wills, sending Flinn to second. Cook hit to
Bucknam who threw to catch Flinn. The Bow-
doin twirler started back to second and Green-
law threw to Fraas who missed the ball, where-
upon Flinn started for third again. Good, how-
ever, had backed Fraas and after getting the ball,
threw to Greenlaw who caught the pitcher at
third. In this play, one of Bowdoin's best
chances of scoring died. Smith, the next at bat,
was out at first, Bucknam to Wills. No runs.
one hit, no errors.

Colby — Williams hit a high fly to Needelman.
Lampher went out on a fly to Doherty. Good

DR. CHARLES UPSON CLARK ON "ADRIATIC
PROBLEMS."
Dr. Charles Upson Clark, former director of
the School of Classical Studies of the Ameri-
can Academy in Rome, gave a very interesting
and instructive lecture in Memorial Hall last
Thursday evening on "Adriatic Problems." The
lecture was illustrated by beautiful colored
slides. The Classical Club deserves great cred-
it for having secured Dr. Clark as a lecturer.
Dr. Clark has spent many years in Italy and
in the Balkan States. His knowledge of their
affairs is thorough, his appreciation of their dif-
ficulties deep and sincere, especially in regard
to Italy and Roumania. In his years of travel
he has interviewed many famous personages
such as d'Annunzio, Nitti, Orlando, and Diaz,
and his intimate descriptions of their personal-
ities were intensely interesting. D'Annunzio,
the speaker declared, writes the best prose in
any living tongue.
The first part of the lecture was devoted to a
careful explanation of present day affairs and
conditions in the Mediterranean countries. The
speaker discussed the Fiume question at consid-
erable length. In talking of the inadvisability
of relinquishing this Italian business center to
Jugo-Slavia, Dr. Clark said that the Jugo-Slav
government has not even the respect of its own
subjects. He later spoke rather scathingly of
the present propaganda of Hungary to release
itself from the indemnity imposed upon it. The
lecturer had a rich fund of stories reflecting
the character of the various nations concerned.
Dr. Clark was constantly laying great stress
upon the falseness of the newspaper reports and
of the statements issued by nearly all govern-
ments.
The second part of the lecture was more a
description of the countries themselves. Dr.
Clark showed many slides, which gave a
glimpse into the life in these nations. Espec-
ially interesting were views of improvements
made by Italy in Albania, and also some rare
mountain scenes in the same country.
Dr. Clark pointed out more clearly than any-
thing else in his lecture the admirable loyalty of
Italy, and even more of Roumania, to the Allied
cause all through the war, giving a most accu-
rate description of their great work, the extent
of which few people in this country have as
yet realized.
Friday morning Dr. Clark talked to the
classes in Latin 6 and Latin 4 on the "Rouma-
nians and their Language," in the Classical
Room in Memorial Hall. Here he told of the
close connection of the Roumanian language
with the Latin, in spite of the great Sl.avic in-
fluence which has been brought to bear upon it.
Dr.. Clark spoke of various aspects in the his-
tory of Roumania, and added a number of ar-
guments to his lecture of the previous evening
in regard to the loyalty of this Balkan nation.
TENNIS SCHEDULE.
Manager Haines '21 has announced the fol-
lowing tentative tennis schedule for this spring:

ridge '22, Captain of the Bowdoin tennis team.
Those who are out for assistant managership
of tennis are Colburn, Jacob, Philbrick, and Reed.
ALPHA DELTA PHI, 3; CHI PSI, 1.
In a comparatively close game on the Delta
April 27, Alpha Delta Phi defeated Chi Psi 3
to 1. Both Smith and Butler pitched good ball,
each registering ten strike-outs. Marston,
Towne, and Morin were the only men to score
hits off Smith. Lovell got two singles, Merrill
a double, and Moses a single, off Butler.

To the Editor of the Orient:
I do not wish to appear too strongly opposed to
an idea that seems to express so well the senti-
ment of our Alumni Associations, our faculty
and our undergraduates, but nevertheless 1 do
feel that there is another side of this movement
for a Memorial Boulevard that has not been ade-
quately emphasized.
A boulevard around the campus, dedicated to
Professor Files would certainly be a very fine
and a very fitting- memorial. Its merits have
been put before you through the columns of this
and of other papers, and I firmly believe that in
time such a thing should and will be done. How-
ever, before the matter is decided upon there
are other sides to consider. In the first place
there is the matter of cost.
Without going into figures it is easy to see
that, especially at this time, the cost of a road-
way around the campus as proposed would be
very great. And Bowdoin surely does not want
a boulveard unless it can be of the best.
In the second place, we ought to consider the
other things that Bowdoin needs, and needs more
urgently, it seems to me, than a boulevard. Look-
ing hastily down the list we find at least two
things that are of immediate importance — a swim-
ming pool and a new Union. The former is a
question that has been before us for some time ; '
the latter is a recent need that arose through
circumstances with which we are all acquainted.
Not to deprecate in any sense the idea of a
Memorial Boulevard, nevertheless it does appear
to me that these more urgent matters should ob-
tain first consideration. I do not believe that
the boulevard should be given up, I think that it
should merely be held over until conditions seem
better suited for its construction.

INNOVATIONS IN ORIENT.
At a meeting of the Orient board last Tues-
day evening in the Classical Room in Hubbard
Hall, Mr. Arthur G. Staples '82, editor of the
Leiviston. Journal,, in behalf of the Alumni
Council, gave a member of valuable suggestions
for the improvement of the Orient. Some of
them are being put into effect with this issue.
The most important one adopted this week, is
the removal of the table of contents, thereby
necessitating the use of the first half of the
paper for news and the last half for advertise-
ments, instead of the old arrangement of hav-
ing advertisements at each end. Mr. Staples
spoke of other excellent methods by which the
character of the Orient can be improved, in-
cluding a new system of membership on the
editorial board.
The editors appreciate the interest shown by
Mr. Staples, who has given them the benefit of
his long connection with a paper of such rec-
ognized standing in the political world at
large.
BASEBALL SIDELIGHTS.
Since the Massachusetts trip, the baseball team
has been working hard to eliminate the weak-
nesses that were brought to light in the two
games which were played. The Colby game cer-
tainly showed the result of this work in the
fielding department of the game, but during the
next week the hitting ought to be improved. As
for the Massachusetts trip, the two games played
were held under wretched weather conditions.
The Wesleyan game did not indicate a true com-
parison of the strength of the two teams. Wesley-
an obtained all her scores in- three innings, the
other innings being very evenly balanced. Flinn
outpitched his opponent in the St. Anselms game,
and only the extreme cold, which caused many
errors, prevented Bowdoin from winning.
Bowdoin has a rich supply of battery material.
Mason, Flinn, Tuttle, and Walker are all twirl-
ing well, while Handy and Miller are doing good
BOWDOIN ORIENT

work at the receiving end of the line. Miller,
an understudy of Handy, has been showing re-
markable improvement. In the infield Smith and
Morrell form a snappy combination and are help-
ing greatly in composing what Coach Houser
believes to be the best infield in Maine. Captain
Cook and Clifford have been doing excellent
work at second and first respectively. In the
outfield, Needelman, Prosser, Hall, and Doherty
are all playing good ball. Towne '2$ is showing-
good form and promises to make the varsity men
work hard to hold their positions throughout the
season. In many of the games, Prosser will play
against southpaws, while Doherty will be sent
against the right-handers.
The three men who have been showing up the
best in batting are Needelman, Smith, and Flinn.
The outfielder has an average of .429 ; Flinn one
of .385, and Smith .348.
Although there has been little brilliant work
so far this season, owing largely to the weak-
ness in hitting, Coach Houser is confident that
the team will show its real worth in the rest of
the state .series games. He believes that the
nine shows a 50 to 75 per cent, improvement over
last year's team.
Saturday of this week, as every student ought
to know, Bowdoin plays the University of Maine
in the second game of the state series. There
is to be no rally Friday, but any Bowdoin man
who has any spirit at all will be in front of the
chapel at two o'clock sharp to march to the field.
Even though Holy Cross did succeed in making
the university team look like a crowd of bush
leaguers last Friday, to the tune of 24 to nil, and
even though Cusick of Bates held Maine to two
hits on Saturday, that is no reason why the stu-
dent body should not get out to this game with
all the pep there is in it, and see to it that the
team has every possible bit of support. Maine
has beaten the White in football this year, but
the stunt must not be repeated in baseball and
track. We know the team will come through to
the best of its ability, so let's show the old Bow-
doin spirit and have a hundred per cent, of the
student body in the cheering section Saturday
afternoon.
BOWDOIN MAN DECORATED.
Russell Davey Greene, of the class of 1919
and of the Kappa Sigma fraternity at Bow-
doin, has been receiving remarkable honors in
the Great War, having been decorated by two
different countries. He was recently decorat-
ed with the First Order of the Red Cross of
Serbia. The decoration was bestowed by ord-
er of King Peter I. of Serbia. While in the
Balkans as assistant to the American Red Cross
Director of all of Jugo-Slavia, Lieut. Greene
received from the Prince Regent Alexander,
the Serbian Legion of Honor, (officer's grade)
which was awarded to only three others. This
decoration is awarded to those rendering the
highest and most merited service to the king-
dom. When bestowing this signal honor Gen-
eral Branko Ivanovitch, Minister of War, said
that Lieut. Greene was the youngest officer ev-
er to have received a decoration of such high
order from the Serbian government.
In addition to this, the French Minister of
War has recently bestowed a medal of distinc-
tion upon him for volunteer service with the
French armies in the American Ambulance
Corps. While in Paris, Lieut. Greene was of-
ficial representative of Bowdoin College at the
American University Union in Europe.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF PORTLAND ALUMNI
ON ENDOWMENT FUND.
Harold L. Berry '01, chairman of the Alumni
Endowment Committee, announced at the month-
ly meeting and banquet of the Bowdoin Club of
Portland, held on April 17, that $32,000 of the
million dollar endowment fund had already been
pledged for this year by the alumni. It is the
plan of the committee to raise at least $50,000
each year. The $32,000 raised so far represents
only the amount for the year 1920 and not the
total amount received to date for the whole
campaign It is considered that a good begin-
ning lias bkt'n made on the campaign, although
less than 20 per cent, of all the alumni have been
heard from so far.
BRADBURY DEBATE.
The Bradbury prize speaking debate was held
Monday evening, April 26, in the debating room
of the Library. The prize of $40.00 went to the
affirmative team which was composed of Nixon,
Little, Badger, and Haines. The prize of $20.00
went to the negative team which was made up
of Thayer, Finnegan, Mitchell, and Laughlin.
The judges were Professor Mitchell, Professor
Catlin, and Rev. H. H. Bishop. Both teams were
closely matched and the losing team deserves as
much credit for its work as the winner. The men
have been working hard on the debate and will
be prepared with strong arguments for Rhode
Island State.

however, the fielding improved and there was
little scoring. Adams pitched a good game for
the Theta Delts, allowing no walks and secur-
ing 12 strike outs. In the fifth inning Gaffney

'06 — In a recent issue of the Boston Herald,
appeared an article in praise of Romilly John-
son, together with a copy of his picture. The
article in part is as follows : "Indirectly Boston
lays claim to one of the most promising Ameri-
can song composers of the day, Giovanni Romilli
of New York, known in private life as Romilly
Johnson. Ever since the prodigious success of
his 'Boat Song,' which became at once a favorite
with Geraldine Farrar, Mr. Johnson has been
soaring consistently in the field of composition,
until no less than ten of his songs have been ac-
cepted since the beginning of the year. Among
his choicest art songs are 'My Dream of You'
and 'Angelus.' "Pillow Time' and 'Down in
Alabama' and many others are full of charm
and popular appeal. A volume of Neapolitan
songs, including 'Marietta' and 'Napoli,' already
published, is promised by this ambitious com-
poser in the near future." He appeared April
14 at a concert in Lynn, given by the Lynn
Woman's Club in aid of the Lynn Home for
Aged Women, recently burned.
'06 — Robert T. Woodruff, latelv with the law
firm of Simpson, Thatcher, and Bartlett of New
York, has been recently made a vice president
of the Kinsley Steamship Lines.
'14 — The engagement has been recently an-
nounced of Miss Helen Van Keuren of Troy,
Penn., to Paul Lambert White, instructor in
historv at Yale, and formerlv a captain in the
A.E.F.
'15 — The Oxford letter, describing the Uni-
versity as it now is, in the April number of the
American Oxonian, was written by Robert Pet-
er Coffin. It contains much valuable informa-
tion which is told in a most entertaining style.
'16 — Leigh Webber is a partner in Webber's
Auto-Electric Service Station which will start
business in Augusta on May 15.
'16— Donald S. White left France in March,
to go by way of Berlin to Riga in the section
of Russia now known as Latvia, where he is
engaged in relief work as a lieutenant in the
Red Cross.
'17— Lieutenant Erik Achorn, U.S.A. (retired)

RESOLUTIONS.
Hall of Theta of Delta Kappa Epsilon:
It is with profound sorrow that Theta Chapter
records the death of Brother Robert Edwin
Peary of the Class of 1877. He was one of the
most prominent and distinguished alumni of this
Chapter, and not only will his loss be keenly felt
by the national fraternity, but also by the entire
nation as well.
Brother Peary's life was unselfishly devoted to
rendering a true service to his country, thereby
winning for him world wide prominence.
While in college he took an active interest in
all student activities, winning by his personal ef-
fort numerous honors, and receiving the B. S.
and M. S. degrees from Bowdoin. Shortly after
graduating he entered the U. S. Navy, where he
40
BOWDOIN ORIENT
not only gained immortal fame by his historic
discovery of the North Pale in 1909, but also
won a commendable reputation as a naval en-
gineer and inventor.
The last few years of his life were especially
devoted to writing scientific and geographical
works.
Lewis Woodbridge Brown,
Craig Stevens Houston,
Ronald Bibber Wadsworth,
For the Chapter.
Hall of Theta of Delta Kappa Epsilon :
It is with regret that Theta Chapter learns of
the recent death of Brother Joel M. Marshall of
the Class of 1862 at his home in Alfred, Maine.
He received his A. M. degree from Bowdoin in
1865 and practiced law from that time until 1912
when he retired.
Brother Marshall held the office of trial justice
at Bar Mills, Maine, from 87-92 and was prin-
cipal of Oswego Institute from 65-70. He was
also Internal Revenue assessor in 1870. Brother
Marshall was well known as a local historian
especially for his book "Buxton History."
Theta Chapter extends her deepest sympathy
to his relatives and friends.
Lewis Woodbridge Brown,
Craig Stevens Houston,
Ronald Bibber Wadsworth,
For the Chapter.
Bowdoin Chapter of Delta Upsilon:
Brother Fred H. Cowan '01 died Tuesday in
the Homepathic Hospital. From his early stu-
dent days his life bears evidences of industry
and energy. After receiving the degree of A. M.
in 1903 from Bowdoin, Brother Cowan entered
a life of sincere service. He taught in Augusta
and Bar Harbor, Maine, and in Roxbury, Massa-
chusetts. He was a loyal citizen, active in the
social and religious work of the communities in
which he taught. The Chapter extends profound
sympathy to his family and friends.

TYPES and TASTES
In College Men
We've experience in analyzing these. You can pretty nearly determine a
man's taste by his type — we're eminently successful in suiting both. The
character, complexion, bearing of each individual man enables us at first
sight to judge the sort of model, fabric or pattern that will appeal to his
taste, and through our immense variety we have little difficulty picking out
the right thing in a Suitor Overcoat. Mr. Jack Handy '23 at the Zeta Psi

Bowdoin Crushes Maine 11 to 1
Joe Smith Breaks Up Game With Three Timely
Hits — Mason Pitches Fine Game.
Last Saturday on Whittier Field, Bowdoin
gave the University of Maine one of the worst
drubbings in baseball that the up-state institu-
tion has received in years from the White. In
spite of a drizzling rain during almost the entire
contest, play was continued, and Bowdoin had
full opportunity to pile up the score. Three runs,
enough to win, were driven across in the third
inning, on three singles and two sacrifice hits.
In the seventh Bowdoin tallied six times on three
clean hits, some errors, and some sacrifices. Just
to express the score in two digits, two more
counters were added in the eighth on more hits
and errors.
Mason had the game well in hand in all stages,
except one or two innings when Maine came
fairly near scoring. Bowdoin made a few errors
here and there, but none of these were at all
costly. Handy allowed only one man to steal
on him during the game. Morrell and Smith did
excellent work in the field.
At bat Smith and Morrell starred for Bow-
doin. In the third inning the former drove in
the first run with a clean single to right, and
later scored himself. In the seventh he doubled,
sending two men across the plate. Finally in
the eighth a hard smash to left pushed the tenth
run of the contest across. In his first three at
bats, Morrell registered two clean hits, and a
scratch. Clifford drove in a couple of runs in
the seventh with a timely single to left.
Following is a play by play account of the
game :
First Inning
Maine — Coady flied to Needelman. Sargent walked and
stole second, but Waterman flied to Doherty and P. John-
son to Morrell.
Bowdoin — Needelman grounded out to Watson. Cook and
Smith both flied to Sargent.
Second Inning
Maine — Rusk was out. Handy to Clifford. After A. John-
son fanned. Walker reached first on Cook's error, and second
on another fumble by Hall. Prescott flied to Doherty.
Bowdoin — Morrell drove a liner to left, after which he
advanced to second when Doherty w-as hit by a pitched ball.
Handy fouled out to Prescott, Hall flied to Rusk, and Clifford
was retired, A. Johnson to Walker.
Third Inning
Maine— Watson was retired. Smith to Clifford. Coady
fanned and Sargent flied to Morrell.
Bowdoin — Mason opened up with a Texas leaguer to
centre. Needelman bunted to Watson, who made a perfect
throw to get Mason at second, and failed on account of
Johnson's error. Cook hit to Watson, who caught Mason
at third. Smith smashed a single to right, scoring Needel-
man and putting Cook on third. Morrell beat out a bunt
while Cook scored and Smith went to third. While the

Bowdoin Romps Away
With Dual Meet
The Bowdoin track team won over Bates for
the second time this year last Saturday. At no
time was the White in danger, although several
surprises were sprung. The track was in very
bad condition because of the rain which fell all
through the meet. The final score was 86 3-5
to 39 2-5.
In the 880, the mile, and two mile runs Bates
took first places. Captain Dostie took first in
the 100 yard dash with McKinney of Bates run-
ning a good second. Moses took first in the 120
yard high hurdles. In the 220 yard dash Averill
beat out Dostie who finished ahead of Small of
Bates. In the 220 yard low hurdles all the points
went to Bowdoin with no finals.
In the field events Cook took first in the pole
vault, Philbrook, first in the running high jump,
Ellms in the hammer throw, and Bisson in the
shot put. In the discus throw Luce of Bates
took first, while A. M. Smith was a close second.

Bowdoin Debating Team Wins
Twice From Rhode Island State
The Bowdoin Debating Team met Rhode
Island State College in a dual debate last Fri-
day evening, the question being, "Resolved, That
the Lloyd George plan for Home Rule for Ire-
land should be adopted." The affirmative team
from Bowdoin met Rhode Island State's nega-
tive team at Kingston, Rhode Island, while Bow-
doin's negative team debated at home. The affir-
mative team consisted of Nixon '21, Little '23,
Badger '21, and Haines '20. The result of the
debate at Kingston was a unanimous decision in
favor of the affirmative.
The result of the home debate was also a
unanimous victory for Bowdoin. The speakers
on the winning team were : Finnegan '23,
Thayer '22, and Mitchell '2$. Laughlin '21 was
alternate. Representing Rhode Island State
were : Holburn, Levine, Midgley, and Canlan.
The judges were Professor Albert C. Baird, of
Bates College, Professor F. W. H. Stott of An-
dover Academy, and Professor William D. Ful-
ler, superintendent of the public schools of Port-
land. Dean Paul Nixon presided.
A. E. Holburn, the first speaker of the affirma-
tive gave the. history of the question and at-
tempted to prove that the Lloyd George plan,
providing for two parliaments and a single na-
tional council composed of an equal number of
delegates from Ulster and the South of Ireland,
was the most desirable plan, because it satisfies
both factions and allows them to unite in the
future.
Finnegan '23 opened the argument of the
affirmative. He maintained that the division of
Ireland was unjustifiable because the two parts
of Ireland are too closely united. He also said
that the minority (i. e. Ulster) would have a
veto over the majority in the national council.
This was greater injustice than had yet been
endured.
S. J. Levine for the affirmative said that Eng-
land would not permit secession, that the Lloyd
George plan would create harmony, and bring
about a union of Ireland in the future, and that
it guarantees desired self-government without
creating" economic differences.
Thayer '22 maintained that the suggested plan
could not be enforced because it was not desired
by the Irish people any more than the present
rule is desired.
D. A. Midgley said that Ireland is a com-
mercial but not a political unit, and that the plan
suggested would satisfy the requirements of both
conditions. He then summarized the affirmative
argument.
Mitchell '23 concluded the negative argument,
by repeating that the affirmative must prove their
plan workable. He then advanced the plan of
his own side, namely, the constituent assembly
plan, whereby Ireland shall decide for herself
what form of government she wants and shall
have her wants approved by an Imperial com-
mission with members from each Colonial do-
minion.
The rebuttal centered on the results of the
constituent assembly of 1917. The affirmative
evaded the issue of the practicability of the plan,
putting their time on attempting to down the plan
advanced by the negative. The decision was
unanimous in favor of the negative team.
'Punch' Doffs His Cap To Bowdoin
In the April 7 number of Punch appeared the
following in reference to the recent Oxford-
Cambridge meet, in which Hal White '17 won
the high jump. The defeat of the Oxford crew
on the Thames is alluded to in the last line of
the first stanza.
"There was a great athlete named Rudd
Who was born with a Blue in his blood,
Stout hearted, spring-heeled,
He achieved on the field
What his Varsity lost on the flood.
"But when he had breasted the tape
A cynic emitted this jape,
Pray notice, old son.
'Tisn't Oxford that's won.
But Utah, Bowdoin, and the Cape."
H. S. White himself has just been given a
journalistic position for the summer with the
Cross Atlantic Nazvs, Fleet street, London, and
will this spring term contribute to this press
agency special articles on American activities at
Oxford and the American point of view.

ATTENDANCE AT COLLEGE GATHERINGS.
During the preceding month there have been
two lectures at the College under the auspices
of two student organizations, the Ibis and the
Classical Club. These lectures, moreover, were
presented by men of wide reputation on certain
international situations. Those who attended
them can vouch for the excellence of the speak-
ers and their subjects. The talks had the fur-
ther attraction of being combined with slides of
unusual interest.
Whether the vast majority of the students
felt the call of the "movies" more strongly than
the appeal to the intellect or whether natural in-
ertia kept them shackled to the seclusion of their
rooms on those nights, is problematical. It may
be that in their zeal for preparing for next
day's courses some of our friends entirely for-
got the existence of Memorial Hall. The small
attendance seems all the more to be condemned
when even the members of the clubs, under
whose auspices the lectures were given, came
far from showing a full quota.
The general attitude of lassitude or indiffer-
ence toward lectures extends to all other forms
of College assemblies. Rallies, and particularly
class meetings, have not had the numbers nec-
essary to insure the complete and proper exe-
cution of those things which they set out to do.
These gatherings surely ought to mean as
much to a college man as any other part of his
education. A little ambition on our own part.
a little prodding for the slackers, and everything'
will be as it should be. Show some spirit. Sup-
port the intellectual side of college activities as
strongly as the athletic !
The Orient regrets that, owing to the illness
of the Editor-in-Chief, no editorial appeared in
the issue of last week.
Public Speaking
The following editorial from the May number
of the Penn Charter school magazine was sent
to the Orient by the courtesy of Frederick L.
Smith '86. It is of interest to Bowdoin men be-
cause one of the prize-winning numbers was
"Spartacus to the Gladiators" by Elijah Kellogg
'41, a speech which was for years a feature at
Bowdoin speaking contests and won many prizes.
"Training in public speaking is one of the
fundamental requirements of good citizenship.
The ability to express his thoughts clearly, dis-
tinctly, and persuasively, should be acquired by
every real citizen, especially in a democracy like
ours. This has been the purpose and the ideal
of the public speaking at Penn Charter for many
years. One of the most effective means of
achieving this aim has been the declamation.
Every student from Secunda and Upper Prima is
required to learn an oration. Each class selects
by popular vote a certain number of its best
speakers (the number varying according to the
class). These candidates compete before a board
of judges, and the nine best are divided into
Class A, Class B, and Class C, with three con-
testants in each class. To each winner in Class
B and C a silver cup is awarded. The winner
of Class A receives a gold medal. During the
past week the Class A contest took place. Frank
A. Fortescue was the first speaker, his oration
being "Resistance to British Aggression," by
Patrick Henry. The last two declamations were
written by Elijah Kellogg. These have been
popular for seventy-five years, and are still prime
favorites. "Spartacus to the Gladiators" was re-
cited by Ernest R. Hosbach. William P.
Schaible, the final speaker, recited "Regulus to
the Carthaginians." The board of judges, com-
posed of Dr. Gummere, Mr. Spiers, and Mr.
Smith, awarded the decision to Hosbach. It is
significant of the merit of these old classics that,
after nearly eighty years, the two most popular
written by the author of the "Whispering Pine"
series at Bowdoin College have received the first
and second prize in the final contest of a large
modern city school."

Fine Trophies for Relay Victory
For their victory a week ago Saturday in the
Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, the members of
the Bowdoin team have received watches on the
back of which are engraved names of the colleges
in the group. A flag presented to the College is
in the trophy room of the gymnasium ; it is about
three feet long and two wide; half black and
half red; with the names of the colleges in Bow
doin's group. The Bowdoin runners were given
a splendid entertainment by the Philadelphia
Alumni and they certainly appreciate the gener-
osity which made it possible for Bowdoin to ap-
pear in this carnival.
Connie Mack Opposed to
Spit-Ball in College Games
Last Friday, Coach Houser received the fol-
lowing letter from Connie Mack, manager of the
Philadelphia Americans, in regard to the discus-
sion among the Maine colleges concerning the
use of the spit-ball in the state series games:
"Hotel Buckminster, Boston. May 6, 1920.
"Dear Ben — Yours of the fifth inst. received. Pleased to
hear from ycu. Have always thought the colleges were
free from spit-tall pitchers, no reason why I should have
thought this, except that I may say that the college man
should set the right example, and in using the spitter they
are doing- just the opposite.
"One of the best and cleanest rules that has been put in
force was carried out when the rules committee decided to
eliminate the spitter. No pitcher will be allowed to use the
spitter after the present season. Our league this season
allows the clubs to name those players who will use the
spitter for this season. All clubs had to notify President
Johnson ten days before the opening of our championship
season, giving names of the pitchers. I find that only ten
names were sent in, some of the clubs, namely, Washington
and Philadelphia, had no one on the list.
"Our games are going to be cleaner, also better played
by eliminating the spit-tall pitchers, never should have had
them, as it encouraged unclean baseball. I don't know of a
minor league today that allows the spit-ball to be used. I
cannot see a college man using the spitter, and if they are
doing this, it reflects little to their credit. Understand me,
I am only giving my opinion and am always open to argu-
ment. Very best wishes to you.
"Sincerely yours,
"CONNIE MACK."
St. Anselms 2, Bowdoin 1.
Walker Yields Only Four Hits — Handy Strong
At Bat.
St. Anselms defeated Bowdoin 2 to i last
Wednesday in one of the best early season base-
ball games ever played on Whittier Field. Be-
cause of the ten-inning tie, played earlier in the
season, the game was of particular interest.
The game was a pitchers' battle, and just a
single slip lost the game for Walker against a
veteran opponent. In the fifth he gave Borden
a base on balls and then made a wild throw in
fielding McWilliams' bunt. Laughlin, who fol-
lowed, singled. With the bases full two runs
were scored on sacrifice flies. Aside from this
slip, air-tight baseball was played throughout
the game.
Bowdoin's score came in the eighth when
Doherty singled, took second on a passed ball,
and scored on errors by Hays and Cunningham.

President Sills Honored
At Annapolis
The following notice of President Sills' ap-
pointment as president of the Board of Visitors
to the Naval Academy appeared in the Baltimore
Sun for May 5 :
"Annapolis, Md., May 4 — Organizing by the
selection of Dr. Kenneth C. M. Sills of Bowdoin
College, as president, the members of the Board
of Visitors to the Naval Academy, consisting of
prominent educators from various sections of the
country, and members of the Naval Affairs Com-
mittee of Congress today started the annual in-
46
BOWDOIN ORIENT
spection of the institution, which will continue
through the week. Upon the result of these in-
spections a report setting forth the need of Uncle
Sam's "cradle of the navy" will be framed and
submitted to Congress.
"The official reception to the inspection officials
took place this morning. Superintendent Scales,
Captain Wat T. Cluverius and other ranking-
officials extended the official greetings. The ar-
rival of the visitors within the government in-
closure was the signal of a salute of 17 guns.
A complete inspection . was made of Bancroft
Hall, which is the largest of the structures of the
academy.
The board is composed of the following:
Appointed by the President — President Sills,
Bowdoin; Dean Fine, Princeton; Dr. Arthur N.
Talbot, University of Illinois; D. Albert R. Hill,
University of Missouri; Col. C. A. Hyatt,
Chester, Pa.; Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, Univer-
sity of Virginia; Dr. William C. Riddick, North
Carolina State College of Agriculture and En-
gineering; President Sills, Bowdoin; Dean Fine,
Princeton.
By the Vice-President — Senators Carroll S.
Page, of Vermont; Key Pittman, of Nevada;
Medill McCormack, of Illinois; Peter G. Gerry,
of Rhode Island.
By the Speaker — Representatives Patrick H.
Kelley, of Michigan; William S. Vare, of Penn-
sylvania; Milton Kraus, of Indiana; James F.
Byrnes, of South Carolina; William Kettner, of
California.
Dean Nixon, secretary of the Committee of Se-
lection for Maine will, on application, send to
any prospective candidates other memoranda of
an informational nature.
Rhodes Scholarship
Oxford University has dropped its require-
ment of Greek for entrance and for all degrees.
This fact should make the possibility of a <
Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford more interesting
to American collegians. A Rhodes scholar will
be appointed for the State of Maine on Septem-
ber 25, 1920, and will go into residence at Ox-
ford the following January. Bates, Bowdoin
and Colby each may nominate two candidates,
and the University of Maine three, to appear
before the Committee on Selection in Septem-
ber. The secretary of this committee must have
on file the application of all candidates by Aug-
ust 14th, and each institution should select its
own candidates by June 15, 1920.
Considerable information regarding Oxford
and the scholarships may be obtained from the
April number of the American Oxonian ; copies
of this publication will be sent by Mr. W. W.
Thayer, Concord, N. H, on receipt of 25 cents.
On the Eve of the Intercollegiates
Enthusiasm and fighting spirit are running"
high on the eve of the greatest track battle of
the season. Of the four Maine colleges, Bow-
doin is the favorite with Maine running a close
second, but this fact is no reason for overcon-
fidence. In 1916 and 1917 Bowdoin was the
favorite but Maine came down fighting and won.
There is no reason why the student body
should not be in Lewiston next Saturday 400
strong. The other colleges will be there with
lots of pep and fight, and it is the duty of every
loyal Bowdoin man to show his spirit. There
will be a special train, it is hoped. The fare is
but a little over a dollar, so there is no reason
for staying away.
In a statement to the Orient Sunday night
Coach Magee warned against overconfidence, but
said that Bowdoin has a well-balanced team. He
was on the whole satisfied with the men last
Saturday, for all of them did well except one
or two who were in poor physical condition. He
emphasized the importance of the support of the
student body next Saturday. "Maine is coming
to Lewiston with her old fighting spirit," he said,
"and it's up to us to do as much if we want to
win."
Now let everybody be out to the biggest rally
of the year Friday evening — then back up the
rally by going to Lewiston.
Phi Chi Banquet
The Phi Chi medical fraternity met at the
Congress Square Hotel in Portland, May 1, and

Finn, Brewster, Vance, Bell, Johnson, Burke,
Anderson, Hill, Wight, LeLasher, and Herlihy.

Thirty-Fifth Annual Conference
of Eastern College Students
The thirty-fifth Annual Conference of Eastern
College Students (formerly the Northfield Stu-
dent Conference) will be held this year at Silver
Bay, N. Y., from June 25 to July 4.
About 60 colleges from New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, New Jersey, Delaware, West
Virginia, Maryland, and the New England states
will be represented, and Bowdoin men are now
working to get the largest delegation which the
college has yet sent to the summer conference.
It is reported that one large university is work-
ing for 125 delegates, and as the attendance is
limited to 800 delegates, it is highly important
that an early registration be made.
Silver Bay has a beautiful location on Lake
George, near the Adirondacks. The region has
a multitude of traditions of the Indians and of
Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain boys. This
will also be the meeting place of the Y. M. C. A.,
Interchurch World Movement, and the confer-
ence promoted by the Y. W. C. A. for women
students of eastern colleges.
Silver Bay has unexcelled outdoor and indoor
athletic facilities with its fine fields, tennis courts
and a new gymnasium.
This conference has significant opportunities
for the college man. It offers a remarkable oc-
casion for intercollegiate fellowship. It helps
in personal, moral and religious problems. Its
discussion groups and personal talks give deeper
understanding of the personal and social mean-
ings of Christianity.

Using the X-Ray
in the Home
Greater X-ray Service —
through Research
FOR years after the discovery of
X-rays it -was evident that only
intensive research could unfold their real
possibilities.
Meanwhile, scientists of the General
Electric Company developed the process
of making wrought tungsten. This
proved ideal as the target in X-ray tubes
and its use for this purpose soon became
universal.
Then further research resulted in the =P=
development of an X-ray tube of a radi- ^P
cally new type — the Coolidge Tube— seif-
with both electrodes of wrought tungsten rectifying
and containing the highest attainable tyPe°r
vacuum. Cooiidse
X-ray
But the complication of high-vacuum Tube
pumps made the new tube in large
quantities impossible. The answer to
this problem was the Langmuir Con-
densation Pump, utilizing mercury vapor
in its operation and almost automatic.
To meet the need for simple X-ray
apparatus during the war— the G-E La-
boratory developed the Self- Rectifying
Coolidge Tube, which made possible port-
able outfits at the front. The latest X-ray
outfit of this type is so small it can be
taken conveniently to the home or to
the bedside in the hospital.
Thus the Research Laboratory of the
General Electric Company continues to
serve, that progress in things electrical
may continue for the good of humanity.

We've experience in analyzing these. You can pretty nearly determine a
man's taste by his type — we're eminently successful in suiting both. The
character, complexion, bearing of each individual man enables us at first
sight to judge the sort of model, fabric or pattern that will appeal to his
taste, and through our immense variety we have little difficulty picking out
the right thing in a Suit or Overcoat. Mr. lack Handy '23 at the Zeta Psi

The Intercollegiate Y. M. C. A.
Conference at Bates
Bowdoin Man Elected President.
The Intercollegiate Y. M. C. A. Conference
at Bates College from April 30 to May 2
was a remarkable success. Seventy delegates
representing about twenty of the New England
Colleges met at Lewiston and conferred on col-
lege problems of the Y. M." C. A. On Friday eve-
ning a banquet was given by the Ladies'
Auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A., after which greet-
ings were given by President-elect Grey of Bates
and Dave Porter '06, who is secretary of the
Student Department of the International Y. M.
C. A. Saturday and Sunday were filled with
short discussions on Y. M. C. A. methods and
principles.
Bowdoin had five men at the conference,
Young '21, McGown '21, Blanchard '21, Ander-
son '21, and McCurdy '22. The officers elected
for the International Council were : President,
R. M. McGown of Bowdoin; secretary, H. Mc-
Donald of Wesleyan. Members at large, H. L.
Edwards of Springfield, E. Egan of Yale, H. S.
Richter of Dartmouth, G E. Fargo of M. I. T.
and W. W. Hall of Brown.
In one of the most thrilling meets held by the
Maine colleges in recent years, Bowdoin
triumphed over Maine, Colby, and Bates
at Lewiston last Saturday. The final score
was Bowdoin 45, Maine 31, Bates 25,
Colby 25. The track events were the
features of the meet and in both long and short
distances, the finishes were close and exciting.
The day was ideal for such a meet and the rain
late in the afternoon served more good than
harm. The forenoon was taken up mostly in
the trials for the short distance finals of the af-
ternoon. The weight trials were also held. In
the afternoon, the real meet began and for sev-
eral hours some A- 1 track events thrilled the
crowds.
Colby sprung a surprise in the meet by the
unexpected success of her athletes in the field
events. This feature of the meet seemed
a surprise even to the Colby sup-
porters, for the Waterville institution, not con-
sidered dangerous, tied Bates and came within
six points of equalling Maine, the favorite at
the close of the morning trials. Cook, in the
hammer throw and shot-put, Brakewood in the
shot, and Bucknam in the discus throw, were
unexpected winners.
The stars of the meet were, without a doubt,
Parent, Goodwin, and Moses, of Bowdoin, the
Buker brothers of Bates, and Pratt of Maine.
All of these won first places and Parent and
Pratt were tied for high point honors with 13
each. Parent won first place in the low hurdles
and broad jump, and second in the 220-yard
dash, while Pratt broke the tape in the 220 and
440 and added a second in the broad jump.
The mile and two-mile runs were the most
discussed and uncertain events of the meet. Bow-
50
BOWDOIN ORIENT
(loin. Maine, and Bates each had men who
seemed to have an equal chance in both events.
Goodwin for Bowdoin, R. B. Buker for Bates,
and Preti and Raymond for Maine were all
looked upon as possible winners. ' In the mile
run Preti set the pace for the first quarter, but
the pace told on the Maine veteran and in the
next two laps it became evident that he was
weakening while Goodwin and Buker were gain-
ing steadily until they passed him in the last
of the third lap, Goodwin ahead. In the fourth
and last lap Goodwin let out and steadily length-
ened the space between him and Buker, although
the Bates man did his best to keep in the run-
ning. Goodwin, however, was going in perfect
form and sprinted down the home stretch amid
roars of Bowdoin cheers reaching the tape some
fifty yards ahead of Buker, who in turn finished
another fifty in front of the tired Preti. Good-
win had the added satisfaction of recording his
fastest time so far in this event.
In the two-mile, Goodwin and Towle were
Bowdoin's orrfy runners. Towle made a fast
start which drew out Clifford of Bates and Ray-
mond of Maine. Goodwin, and R. B. Buker
stayed in the rear for the time being. Clifford
took the lead near the end of the first lap, and
held it for over half a mile. Raymond passed
him at the end of the first mile, but now Good-
win and Buker came rapidly to the fore, the
former taking the lead. The Bowdoin runner
held his position until about two hundred yards
from the finish, when Buker made the spurt that
won the race. Raymond finished third, a
considerable distance behind Goodwin.
The hurdles, low and high, were the events in
which Bowdoin displayed its greatest superiority.
Moses easily won the high hurdles with Thomson
second, and Fenderson of Maine third. Parent,
Moses, and Thomson took all the points in the
low hurdles in the order named.
In the quarter, M. H. Smith of Bowdoin
started off in the lead with Palmer second. At
the second corner Pratt and Castle of Maine
passed both Bowdoin runners. From then on
there was no change in the positions, Pratt win-
ning, Castle second, and Smith third.
The half mile was Preti's last run of the meet.
R. S. Buker led nearly all the way, but Hunt of
Bowdoin could have given him a hard run if he
had not lost one of his shoes early in the race.
As it was the. Bowdoin middle-distance runner
finished a strong third, well ahead of Preti when
the latter dropped out, near the end of the race.
Parent led the field in the 220 down to the
Bowdoin stands, but Captain Pratt of Maine
passed him and won by a very scant margin. The
Bowdoin man passed back the defeat in the
broad jump, which Pratt lost by five-eighths of
ail inch.
Bowdoin was not so strong comparatively in
the field events. Cook won the pole vault, but
aside from his five points, no other first place
went to the White in this part of-the meet. Ellms
took second in the hammer, and Zeitlerthird. A.
M. Smith won third in the discus throw, while
there were no points at all for Bowdoin in the
shot.

Phi Beta Kappa Address
By President Sills
In his address before the Boston University
Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Friday evening,
President Sills spoke of the vital part that schol-
arship plays in the development of a nation's
literature. There is a very general popular im-
pression that literature and poetry are concerned
more with the emotions than with the intellect.
It is of course true that poetry must stir the
heart. But many of the world's great poets have
been scholars and have learned from books as
well as from life. Virgil was famed for his
erudition; Dante was the most learned man of
his age ; Milton studied to be a poet as zealously
as a man would study law or medicine and was
thoroughly at home in many different fields of
knowledge; Goethe was a thorough scholar; and
curiously enough the most popular poem in the
English language was written by Thomas Gray,
who was perhaps the most scholarly of all the
English poets. Undoubtedly many great poets
of the world were in no sense of the word
scholars, and yet Shakespeare for all his "small
Latin and less Greek" was a very widely read
man, perfectly at home in books.
In these days when there is so much writing
that is careless and slipshod, when there is so lit-
tle regard for the workmanship of letters, when
scholarship is not held in very high popular
esteem, it is well to remember that great poetry
and great literature, summing up as they do the
experience and the emotions of the human race,
have been produced usually in periods of great
intellectual activity and by men of undoubted in-
tellectual power. There are many encouraging-
signs of a renewed interest in poetry, drama, and
art. What the nation needs so far as its litera-
ture is concerned is a genuine renaissance, a re-
birth of intellectual enthusiasm. Poetry is bound
to be shallow and sentimental — pretty stuff but
not lasting unless it incorporates the thought as
well as the feelings of the time. We have many
clever writers both of prose and verse ; but there
are very few strong intellectual figures among
American men of letters. The American uni-
versity has of late years stifled rather than en-
couraged literature. In the early days most of
our writers came from our colleges ; Lowell and
Emerson from Harvard ; Hawthorne and Long-
fellow from Bowdoin ; Poe from the University
of Virginia. Our colleges should today do more
to foster the literary spirit and put more empha-
sis on production than on criticism, and our read-
ing public should recognize more widely than it
does the need of scholarship in literature.

Rally for Maine Intercollegiates
Last Friday at 5.30 a rally and send-off took
place at Memorial Hall and at the station.
Nearly every student on the campus who was
not going to Lewiston until Saturday morning
was there and the band was there with all its
inspiration. Holmes '21 led some snappy cheer-
ing and Richan '20 led the songs. "Jack" Magee
gave a very interesting talk on the coming meet,
warning the men not to be too confident. Pro-
fessors Burnett and Stanwood each spoke en-
thusiastically and called upon the student body
to back the team. After the meeting, the stu-
dent body formed behind the band and marched
down to the station where the track men were
given a royal send-off as they left for Lewiston.

Another Track Victory.
Another championship was added to Bowdoin's
list of victories in track, when the White
triumphed over Maine, Bates, and Colby by a
substantial margin. It was an interesting meet
to watch and extremely gratifying to the many
Bowdoin followers who took the trip to Lewiston
last Saturday.
The track team and its coach deserve the
greatest commendation for this victory. It is
they, combined with the whole-hearted support
of the student body who made Saturday's at-
tainment possible. Any man with even the most
limited experience in track work knows the
gruelling training to which men for every, event
must be subjected. And training under Coach
Magee is rigorously and faithfully observed. The
men who went out for track last winter and this
spring and "stuck to it," are worthy of the un-
qualified respect and admiration of the student
body.
The Maine Championship is certainly an
achievement worth attaining, but it means all the
more, because it represents the hard work and
consistent excellence of Bowdoin track men. Hats
off to Coach Magee and his track squad !

Communication
To the Editor of the Orient:
There is a great deal of speculation among a
large part of the student body regarding the
failure of the non-fraternity men to be repre-
sented in the Inter-fraternity Baseball League.
For the last two seasons, the non-fraternity men
have had a team in the field. This year, they
were not asked to join, and so the schedule con-
tained only games between fraternity teams.
The writer believes that there are only two
reasons why such action was taken by the fra-
ternities : That
1. The non-fraternity body is numerically
larger than any fraternity, and therefore would
have more material to pick from.
2. This season, the league was defined as an
"Inter-fraternity League" and so this excluded
any "non-fraternity" team.
These two facts are admitted but are not the
non-fraternity men a part of the student body ?
Baseball has a lure for every American boy, but
through this interpretation of the term "Inter-
fraternity League" approximately one-sixth of
the student body is deprived of the opportunity of
playing baseball in a league.
It has been said that the non-fraternity men
would be allowed to form an independent team
and could seek games with the fraternity teams.
But interest would be lacking in these games and
the fraternities would not. put their strongest
team on the field, preferring to save it for a
league game.
The only remedy for this condition is to allow
the non-fraternity team in the league. Of course
this cannot be done this year, but this state of
affairs could be rectified next year. If, on the
other hand, the non-fraternity men are not per-
mitted to play baseball on an equal footing with
the fraternity men, it shows a weak spot in Bow-
doin's "boasted democracy." X.

on file and are open to all at any time when the
office is open.
All mail now comes to this office and is sorted
here. The mail box on the door is also large
enough to hold any Quill or Orient contribu-
tions, communications, alumni or general news
notes, suggestions or criticisms which members
of the college may care from time to time to
leave.
If any addresses are now incorrect, or if the
Orient is not delivered, a notice to that effect
should be left for the Business Manager.
The Orient has needed an office and the stu-
dent body has needed some centrally located
place where the boards might be reached.
Both needs have been filled, so it is now up
to the students to aid with contributions and con-
structive criticism if or when conditions are un-
satisfactory.
Help the Orient to be to Bowdoin what the
Crimson is to Harvard; what The Dartmouth is
to Dartmouth ; and what in general a college
paper should be to its college. K. S. B.

Bowdoin, 7; Portland K. of C, 0.
Mason Holds St. Anselm's Conquerors Helpless.
While the track team was cleaning up the rest
of Maine at Lewiston last Saturday, the baseball
team went to Portland and defeated the Knights
of Columbus seven to nothing. The losers had
been the only team to beat St. Anselms on its
recent invasion of the state. The chief feature
of the game was the splendid pitching of Mason.
He yielded only two singles during the entire
contest. Bowdoin garnered nine hits from Em-
bleton, with Doherty, Morrell, and Clifford taking
the major portion.
The team as a whole showed up very favor-
ably indeed. The fielding was of high order,
especially that of Morrell at short. The base-
running was better than usual, and the batting,
as said above, was good. Clifford drove out a
very timely double in the fourth inning, scoring
two men, and practically putting the game on ice.
Following is a play by play account of the
game:

walked : but Lyons fouled out to Handy, and M. Barron
flied to Needelman.
Fourth Inning.
Bowdoin— Morrell singled, and Doherty sacrificed, but
both men were safe when Embleton tried to get Morrell
at second. Handy advanced both runners on a sacrifice to
Embleton. After Hall fouled out to Martell, Clifford drove
out a double, scoring Morrell and Doherty. Mason was re-
tired, Embleton to French. Two runs, two hits, no errors.

Bowdoin Batters Swell Averages
At Expense of Norwich
Team Bats for .455— Hall Drives Out Five
Singles — Every Bowdoin Player
Scores and Hits.
In a deadly uninteresting game on Whittier
Field this week, Monday, Bowdoin crushed Nor-
wich University to the tune of 19 to 5. During
the first half of the contest Norwich led, and
when Bowdoin came to bat in the fifth inning,
the score was 5 to 2 in favor of the visitors.
Maher in the first inning had driven a homer
over the right field fence. In the fifth, after
Smith had walked, seven singles came, one after
another, and with the help of an error, a couple
of fielder's choices, two more hits, and a sacrifice
fly, ten runs were scored. Seven of these runs
crossed the plate before a single batter had been
retired. The first ten hitters all scored, and al-
together fifteen batters appeared in this one in-
ning.
Every man on the team got one hit or more,
and also one run or more. Hall scored five hits
out of six times up, Flinn three out of five, and
Doherty two singles and two sacrifices out of
four. The whole team was working splendidly,
and after the fifth inning the game was a farce,
with all the fun for Bowdoin. Flinn allowed
only one hit in the last four innings.

French Players Coming to Brunswick
A company of French players from the
Theatre d'Art in New York will give a perform-
ance under the auspices of the college on the
evening of May 27th at the Cumberland Theatre.
The program will consist of three one-act plays :
"Les Deux Pierrots" by Rostand, "L'Etincelle"
by Pailleron, and "Un Caprice" by de Musset.
The players of the Theatre dArt finished their
New York season in March and are now making
an extended tour of the American colleges. Two
BOWDOIN ORIENT

of the company are originally from the Odeon in
Paris, a national subsidized theatre ranking next
to the Comedie Francaise. Their recent New
York season, to judge from the reviews of com-
petent dramatic critics, has been one of dis-
tinguished artistic success. In bringing these
French players to Bowdoin it is felt that the
•college is offering the student body an unusual
occasion of advantage and enjoyment. Copies
of "L'Etincelle" and "Un Caprice" have been
placed on a reserved shelf in the Library. Due
announcement of the sale of tickets will be made.
Tennis Trip
The tennis team consisting of Captain Part-
ridge '22, Bishop '23, M. H. Smith '20, Larrabee
'22, made the trip to Boston, Saturday, May 8,
but were unable to play Tech on account of the
rain. The following Monday Partridge played
Bennett of Amherst and was defeated 6 — o, 6 — I.
Smith played Sanders of Dartmouth and was de-
feated 6 — o, 6 — 3. In the afternoon Partridge
and Bishop played doubles with Amherst and
lost 6 — 3, 6 — 4. The matches were played on
the Longwood courts at Chestnut Hill.

TYPES and TASTES
In College Men
We've experience in analyzing these. You can pretty nearly determine a
man's taste by his type — we're eminently successful in suiting both. The
character, complexion, bearing of each individual man enables us at first
sight to judge the sort of model, fabric or pattern that -will appeal to his
taste, and through our immense variety we have little difficulty picking out
the right thing in a Suit or Overcoat. Mr. Jack Handy '23 at the Zeta Psi
House is our representative, and anything you wish in the way of Shirts,
Neckwear, Shoes, Hosiery, Pajamas, etc., he will be glad to take your order.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
Brunswick, Maine, May 25, 1920.
To All Boivdoin Men: —
The Bowdoin Orient has very kindly offered to issue a Special Edition for the
Bowdoin Alumni Fund to be sent to all Bowdoin men.
The Committee appreciates very greatly this co-operation by the undergradu-
ates in the maintenance of the Bowdoin standards and wish to take this opportunity
of making their grateful acknowledgement.
In putting into operation the plan used at Yale for twenty-nine years, your
Committee asks and expects the hearty co-operation and team work of every Bow-
doin man and every class.
Immediate Financial Need of Bowdoin College
Increased income from contributions, and additional endowment to provide
funds for the raising of salaries, for the proper maintenance of equipment, and to
meet any deficits which may occur. This condition is not peculiar to Bowdoin.
Over one hundred colleges are asking for additional* funds at this time.
The bulk of the labor falls on a representative from each class called the
Class Agent. He must keep in close touch with his classmates, and keep a record
of their contributions, and subscriptions, showing the total amount from his class,
and the percentage of members who have answered the appeal.
If every former member of Bowdoin College will give as much as he can
afford — no more — no less — the greatest present need of the College will be met and
her energy increased and strengthened.
Bequests may be made to the principal of the "Bowdoin Alumni Fund."
Gifts may be made to the Fund by individuals or classes in memory of Bow-
doin men who died or were killed in the War.
Gifts may be made to the Principal Fund by individuals under their own
names and not included in the record of their class.
When the Alumni of Bowdoin adopted the so-called "Yale Plan" they put the
responsibility directly on themselves. The need is great and will be so for a long
time. The Bowdoin Alumni Fund standing out by itself will show just what the
Alumni are doing. We must give a good account of ourselves.
One of the greatest benefits of this Plan to the College is the increased in-
terest which every man will feel, when, by giving, he again becomes an integral
part of the institution. The man who gives one dollar is just as honorable, if that
is all he can afford, as the man who gives ten thousand dollars.
Gifts from those who are not college men or who graduated from some other
institution may be made to Bowdoin as an appreciation of what she has done for
more than one hundred years, and the good she will do in the future.
Very sincerely yours,
Committee from Alumni Council,
Harold L. Berry, '01.
E. Farrington Abbott, '03.

Concerning Funds in General and
The Bowdoin Alumni Fund in Particular
Gradually Bowdoin men are waking up to the glad tidings that they are not the subject nor
the object of a "drive" in connection with the Bowdoin Alumni Fund.
After the harsh experiences of the past few years it was perhaps but natural that there should
be an instinctive resort to a posture of self defence when the suggestion of a fund loomed on the
horizon and it was probably a more or less general reaction on the arrival of the first circular
last winter.
It was not a matter for argument, however, and only time could heal the hurt. Gradually
one by one, here and there, Bowdoin men raised their financial heads out of the shell-holes in
which they had sought refuge, peeped about, and felt for their purse. A few hardy ones ventured
forth and survived.
Quiet mention of the plan developed from one source and another but still all the para-
phernalia of the drive seemed missing. The winter passed and still the Fund drifted merrily
along and everyone concerned was enjoying it. Distinctively painless extraction! The second
circular went out and then the idea began to penetrate. After all it was really true. NOT A
DRIVE!!!
A retired Judge was at some pains to hunt up one of the Committee in order to say: "I want
to send in something and help out. I approve of the plan and the system. I like the absence of
a 'drive.' I am through being 'driven.' "
Fifty- eight responses arrived in the first week following the last circular. That is Bowdoin
spirit at its best in an individual consideration and voluntary response to Bowdoin's needs. As one
who has worked much and joyfully on this Fund has said a hundred times this winter: "Boys,
we are starting on a long pull. Let's go slow so we can hold out."
To be sure, it did not look especially impressive. There was no talk of a million-dollar goal,
intensive team effort, haunted graduates and all that.
There were plenty of doubters who had been through all the "drives" from 1917 to 1920 and
they thought this more or less a fiasco and a farce but the committee plugged away and gradually
the income accumulated and the doubters began to take an interest and a graduate here and there
began to raise his subscription. One man went from $25.00 to $200.00 and then to $2,000 and all
without a direct word of solicitation. That was his individual problem and he answered it in his
own way.
There are no assessments and no rating committees. You give what you can afford when you
get ready. That is our motto. No one else knows your income, the demands upon you, or the
place which Bowdoin occupies in your valuation of existence.
Public opinion has been doing a lot of things outside its regular line of business in the last
few war-crowded years and it seems high time that public opinion along with the government
retired to the side lines and let an individual have the formerly God-given privilege of being a
man and determining his own action in the seclusion of his own conscience and the knowledge of
his own purse.
The Bowdoin Alumni Fund is a disciple and an exponent of this New Freedom — self-deter-
mination for individuals as well as nations is its program and you are the beneficiary.
"Drives may come and drives may go,
But our Fund goes on forever."
It does not look very large; — $20,000 for the income side of the Fund and $15,000 for
the principal in four months given by one-quarter of the living Bowdoin men, yet it is tremend-
ously gratifying because it is the hope and the belief that no one was forced into line. There is
no blood-money in this Fund.
Of course it all came about when Franklin C. Payson, 1876, at Commencement last June moved
the adoption by the Bowdoin Alumni Association of the so-called "Yale Plan" for raising funds
to lift Bowdoin's income out of its 1914 status.
60
BOWDOIN ORIENT
The Alumni Council was instructed to proceed with the matter and its Committee has been
steering more or less uncharted seas since that time.
All contributions received before June 10 will be included in the compilation of gifts by
classes and localities to be published at Commencement. The names of all individual contributors
will also be printed but not the amounts of the gifts.
Now the matter is definitely up to Bowdoin men wherever they may be to take this home
to themselves and consider what they are able to do in helping the Fund to receive a 100% re-
sponse by contributions large or small. Every individual is his own solicitor. The case is left
with the court and you are the judge.

Communication
The following letter expresses the views of
one Bowdoin man who wanted to send a second
subscription for this present year :
Brunswick, Me.
Dear Sir: —
I have just received the circular sent by your
committee asking financial aid for Bowdoin Col-
lege.
I regret that I cannot send you anything. I
sent a very little (all I felt I could spare) to the
representative of my class sometime ago.
I am only a teacher, on a teacher's salary
(mine is today exactly what it was fourteen
years ago) and, though I know your need, I've
got to get ahead a bit in preparation for old age
which is now beginning to seem very real to me.
Please accept my best wishes and my deep
regret that I have nothing more helpful to send
you. Yours sincerely,
(Signed
It is letters such as this that typify the meaning
of Bowdoin.

Bowdoin Fifth in New England Meet
In the annual New England Intercollegiate
Track Meet held last Saturday at Tech Field,
Cambridge, Bowdoin took fifth place with 13%
points. Massachusetts Institute of Technology
surprised the dopesters by winning the meet with
a three-point margin over Brown. The scores
were as follows: M. I. T. 33, Brown 30, Wil-
liams 20-}4, Boston College 16, Bowdoin 13 J4,
Wesleyan 11, Holy Cross 10, Amherst 7, New
Hampshire College 6]/2, Tufts 2, and M. A. C,
Middlebury, Vermont, and Worcester P. I., one
each.
The field was more than muddy, and for that
reason primarily, no new records were hung up
in any of the events. Bowdoin was the only
Maine college to figure in the- point column. In
the trials of Friday, Bowdoin was in a tie for
third in the number of men qualified. Captain
Dostie qualified in the hundred-yard dash and
the broad jump, Ellms in the hammer and discus
throws, Thomson in the high hurdles, Parent
in the lows, and Cook in the pole vault.
In the final events of the meet, Goodwin took
second in the mile, being beaten only by Nightin-
gale, the New Hampshire star who not long
ago showed his heels to the best that Eng-
land could offer. The Bowdoin runner led the
field most of the way, and the winner had no
easy time taking the race. Parent won the low
hurdles after a hard race with Sullivan of Bos-
ton College, in the creditable time of 26 4-5
seconds. Cook, who had qualified on Friday for
the pole vault, was one of four competitors who
were obliged to split first honors in the event,
because the referee refused to allow it to be held
on account of the bad conditions. The winning
height was eleven feet. Ellms was fourth in the
hammer throw with a mark of 117 feet and J1/)
inches. He tied for third in the discus with a
distance of 108 feet and 954 inches. Bowdoin's
remaining half point was won by Dostie, who
tied for fourth in the broad jump at twenty feet
and three inches.
ABRAXAS INITIATION

annual initiation and banquet at the Lafayette
Hotel in Portland last Friday evening. Those
initiated from the Class of 1922 were: Curran,
Dahlgren, Drake, McGorrill, Morrell, Perry,

chief factor in Bowdoin's defeat. This pitcher
is the best man that the White has run up against
this season. Bowdoin's fielding was off form
more or less, and the batting was below the usual
standard. Morrell hit two singles, one of them
driving Cook across with the only run of the
game for the losers.

A Dual Appeal.
This issue of the Alumni Orient is primarily
in the interests of the Alumni Fund, and as such
is to be mailed to every living alumnus and non-
graduate. The purposes and results of the drive
have been presented to the Alumni through
special literature and, to some extent, through
the columns of the Orient. It is not, therefore,
necessary in this editorial either to outline the
plan or describe its progress. The Orient does,
on the other hand, wish to heartily commend the
plan and to cooperate in every possible way in
putting it through to a successful conclusion. The
Orient wishes also to assure its readers that the
undergraduate body, though largely unable to
back the plan in a financial way, is heartily in
sympathy with the movement and ready to help
in every possible way.
Not to overshadow the appeal for the Alumni
Fund but simply to put forth a proposition in
line with it, the Orient takes this opportunity to
put in a plea of its own. Through the Orient
is your opportunity not only to keep in touch
with this drive and other Alumni activities, but
also to "get a line" on the whole wide range of
College interests. If you are a loyal Bowdoin
man, you want to follow Bowdoin achievements
on track, diamond, and gridiron, as well as in
her other varied activities, and the logical place
to do that is in the Orient. To be sure, certain
sections of news are a few days old when it
reaches you, but the important fact is that it is
Bowdoin nezvs from a Bozvdoin point of view.
Moreover, the Orient will give you a much more
complete survey of Bowdoin activities than even
the closest reading of newspapers can ever hope
to offer.
You need the Orient, and we need you. Mail
your check now to K. S. Boardman, 4 South Ap-
pleton, which has been established as the busi-
ness headquarters of the Orient.
The Orient wants your subscription but it
wants more your opinion and advice, especially
in regard to the improvement of the paper. Will
you consider this a personal invitation to send us
an article for publication on any subject on which
you may choose to write? If you have an in-
terest in the Orient and other Bowdoin activi-
ties, make that interest evident through this
medium.
In conclusion, alumni of Bowdoin, back your
alma mater by contributing to your Alumni Fund
and clinch your hold upon old Bowdoin by sub-
scribing to the Orient.
Communication
To the Editor of the Orient :
At this time of the year we hear a great deal
about College spirit. From time to time rallies
are held and much is done to stimulate the spirit
of Old Bowdoin in the breasts of all the under-
graduates. And efforts along this line are well
rewarded. The fellows turn out and they stand
behind the team to the last ditch.
But there is one side of the question that could
be improved. At a recent rally Dean Nixon in
one of his characteristically fine speeches in-
formed us that the Faculty is very interested in
the athletic activities of the college. We sincere-
ly believe that such is the case, but from any
evidence that we have such faculty interest is
almost a minus quantity. We do have a few
staunch supporters, but aside from these we are
forced to take the matter for granted. As stated
above, we firmly believe that the Faculty does
have a very deep interest in our athletic activi-
ties, but we wish that we might have more con-
crete evidence. The average college student is
from Missouri.

farms, is surely important to all Bowdoin men :
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Office of the Secretary
Washington, May 10, 1920.
Dear Mr. President : —
Our country faces a possible curtailment of food produc-
tion due to a shortage of farm labor — a shortage that
promises to increase as the summer advances.
May I urge that you bring this situation to the attention
of the young men in your student body with the suggestion
that, if possible, they spend their summer vacations help-
ing on the farms ? A considerable number of college men
already make this a practice. This year there is special
need for such help on the farms, because of the importance
of maintaining a normal production of food. I hope that
not only students, but business men generally, will lend aid.
as so many of them did, patriotically and effectively, in the
summer of 1918.
Unquestionably there is sufficient man power in the schools
and cities to relieve the farm labor situation this summer.
I believe the men will respond when they learn conditions,
and so afford another practical demonstration of the neigh-
borly and co-operative spirit which characterized the coun-
try's war efforts.
Many students have relatives or friends in the country to
whom they can offer their services. Others interested should
write the director of agricultural extension at the State
Agricultural College, stating their qualifications, the time
when they can go to work, etc. The director will put them
in touch with county agents who know farmers in need
of help.
Thanking you for the assistance which I feel sure you
will be glad to render in this emergency, I am
Very truly yours,
E. T. MEREDITH, Secretary.
The Silver Bay Student Conference
The movement for securing a large delega-
tion from Bowdoin to attend the Silver Bay
Student Conference is making good headway in
the college. This conference, which embraces
all the colleges of the New England and Middle
Atlantic states, will be held at Silver Bay, on
Lake George, New York, from June 25 to July
5. 1920.
The program is made up of a series of con-
ferences and activities which is sure to give one
who is imbued without reservation with its spirit
and inspiration an experience of abiding satis-
faction and power. The speakers and leaders
of the conference are of the highest calibre and
include such men as Bernard Bell, Harry Ward,
Robert Speer, E. T. Calton, and many others
equally well fitted to take the position of leaders.
The subjects taken up will vary so that all
branches of religious study can be touched upon.
There will be many opportunities for personal
interview — perhaps the greatest offer of the con-
vention.
The expenses for men from Maine attending
the convention are :
Registration (paid in advance) $5-00
Board and room $20.00
Transportation (Portland to Silver Bay —
round trip) $i5.oo-$i8.oo
Total $40.00 to $43.00
These expenses may be greatly reduced by one
willing to wait on table and to do other work
at the conference, for many of the students will
be able to find employment. Details may be
learned from McGown '21.
The attending of this conference is a happy,
beneficial, and unique experience. The presence
of hundreds of earnest, joyous students; the
frank discussion and intimate fellowship ; the
healthy intercollegiate rivalry; and the new-
found partnership with men of other colleges ;
all these elements will combine to create that
indescribable atmosphere which makes a stu-
dent conference marked in the experiences of a
lifetime.
Bowdoin has made a good start toward a large
delegation, five men having already manifested
their intentions of going to the conference. Ef-
forts are being' made to continue the enrolment
until Bowdoin shall have the largest delegation
going to Silver Bay this year that she has ever
sent to a student conference.

Training College Men for
Business
The Graduate School of Business Administration of Harvard
University offers a two-year course to college graduates. The course
is designed to give a broad fundamental training for business together
with specialization in those fields in which the student is most in-
terested.
College men, looking to business as a career, feel the lack of ade-
quate preparation which enables them to deal effectively either with
general business problems or with the problems in their own special
fields. The Harvard Business School aims to fill this need.
Special emphasis is placed upon the application of business
theory to actual business problems. For this purpose the "problem
method" of instruction is used. The Boston territory affords an ex-
cellent business laboratory.
Courses offered: Accounting, Business Law, Banking and Fi-
nance, Marketing, Advertising, Industrial Management, Employ-
ment Management, Business Statistics, Foreign Trade, Transporta-
tion, Insurance, Lumbering, Income Taxation, Office Organization,
Printing and Publishing.
Completion of the two-year course leads to the degree of Master of
Business Administration.

alumni Department
The Orient particularly wishes to be recog-
nized as the central exchange for receiving and
distributing news of the Alumni. Obviously this
can be done only with hearty cooperation of the
Alumni themselves, and especially of the class
secretaries. The Orient can maintain no elabor-
ate service for the collection of college news out-
side of Brunswick, and for notes about the
Alumni it must remain dependent on the Alumni
themselves and on such newspapers as are re-
ceived at the college library. The present edi-
torial board is making every effort to realize the
ideal set up by the Alumni Council — to print all
interesting facts about the doings of the Alumni.
1848 — It has recently been learned that the
oldest living graduate of Bowdoin College, Rev.
William C. Pond, D.D., of San Francisco, Cali-
fornia, Class of '48, whose picture appears else-
where in this issue, will visit his alma mater at
Commencement this year. Dr. Pond, although
over ninety years of age, is still in excellent
health.
Alumni of Bowdoin are sending in their nomi-
nations for a member of the Board of Overseers
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary, LL.D., of Washington,
D. C.
1894 — Elmer T. Boyd was appointed librarian
of the Bangor Public Library on May 14 to suc-
ceed the late Charles A. Flagg '94. He plans
to study library work this summer, and to begin
his new duties next January.
1898 — Clarence W. Proctor, submaster in Ban-
gor High School, has been appointed principal
for next year.
1902 — Major George E. Fogg of Portland will
deliver the Memorial Day address at Fryeburg
under the auspices of the Grover Post, G. A. R.
1904 — Howard C. Griffin has returned to the
Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburgh
as an associate professor in the department of
chemical engineering.
1905 — Captain James G. Finn, who was seri-
ously wounded in action near Chateau Thierry
has lately been transferred to the United States
Army General Hospital at Fox Hills, Staten Is-
land, New York. Capt. Finn has made con-
tinuous progress toward recovery from his
wounds, but is still obliged to remain under hos-
pital care.
1908 — Arthur L. Robinson of Portland recent-
ly went to Washington to attend a conference
of representatives of the American Legion to
discuss the soldiers' bonus measure, which is now
before Congress. Mr. Robinson is attending the
conference as a member of the National Execu-
tive Committee of the American Legion.
1908 — The South Pacific Mail of a recent date
contained the following item which will be of
interest to Bowdoin men : "Dr. Sturgis E. Leav-
itt, associate professor of romance languages in
the University of North Carolina, at present on
leave of absence and holder of a Sheldon trav-
eling • fellowship from Harvard University, is
concluding an important volume on Chilian lit-
erature and in a short time will leave Santiago
for Buenos Aires. This work which will be pub-
lished in English, and will take the form of a
bibliography including biographies of Chilian
writers, with criticisms and histories of the lit-
erature. It will serve as a guide and an intro-
duction to the study of Chilian literature for
English speaking people, and in addition to the
usual bibliographic detail, each book-title will
be accompanied by notes setting forth the con-
tents of the work and its value as a piece of lit-
erature.
"Dr. Leavitt's book will therefore contribute
its share toward filling a want at present felt in
England and the United States for a further
knowledge of the intellectual life of South Am-
erica. Dr. Leavitt has recently made studies of
Peruvian and Bolivian literature which will be

TYPES and TASTES
In College Men
We've experience in analyzing these. You can pretty nearly determine a
man's taste by his type — we're eminently successful in suiting both. The
character, complexion, bearing of each individual man enables us at first
sight to judge the sort of model, fabric or pattern that will appeal to his
taste, and through our immense variety we have little difficulty picking out
the right thing in a Suit or Overcoat. Mr. Jack Handy '23 at the Zeta Psi
House is our representative, and anything you wish in the way of Shirts,
Neckwear, Shoes, Hosiery, Pajamas, etc., he will be glad to take your order.

Harvard Has Lucky
Win Over Bowdoin
The 1921 Bugle
The 1921 Bugle, distributed this morning, is
well up to the standards set in previous years
and in many respects superior. It is dedicated
to Edwin Upton Curtis, LL.D., of the Class of
1882, police commissioner of the city of Boston,
"whose loyalty to the principles of justice and
steadfastness in the right have won for him the
admiration of every son of Bowdoin and of
every true citizen."
The cover is very appropriately designed, with
the figure of the polar bear's head, suggesting
Bowdoin's connection with the distinguished ex-
plorer.
There is a rich fund of pictures, — more than
have appeared in past Bugles. For the first
time group pictures of the fraternities are being-
used. The accounts of athletic seasons have
been somewhat condensed, but the usual sta-
tistics are included.
The humor of the "grind" section is of high
order, very little of it seeming insipid and color-
less. Some of the best skits are "Our College
Government," "The Quill: A Review," and "The
Sub-Freshman Visits the Interscholastics."
The art department has been attended to in
excellent fashion by Ormerod. The volume,
with its additional pictures, its pleasing' design,
and keen humor, is one which will stand very
high among the many Bugles of the past.
The editorial board consists of J. Maxim
Ryder, editor-in-chief; Charles W. Crowell, busi-
ness manager; Luke Halpin, assistant business
manager; Frank H. Ormerod, art editor; Maurice
S. Coburne, Sanger M. Cook, Lloyd H. Hatch,
Gordon R. Howard, Philip R. Lovell, Robert R.
Schonland, Frank A. St. Clair, John G. Young,
associate editors.
COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS CHOSEN.
Professor Ham, chairman of the committee
for the selection of Commencement speakers, an-
nounced last Thursday that the following Seniors
had been selected: Abbott, Adams, Henderson,
and Richards.
Walker Outpitches His Opponent — Harvard Wins
On Bowdoin's Errors — Morrell and Doherty
Hit Well.
In his second start of the season, Walker held
the Harvard nine to five hits in the game at
Cambridge Tuesday, May 25, but the game was
lost 7 to 4. He struck out nine men, and if he
had had good support in the second inning, Bow-
doin would have emerged victorious. Jones and
Frothingham, two long distance sluggers, were
both disposed of without a hit, the latter fanning
the breezes twice.
Bowdoin scored six hits, bettering the winners
in this respect by one. In the first inning, the
visitors opened up on Hardell with a three-run
rally. Needelman singled, took second on Hard-
ell's error, and third on a passed ball. Cook was
retired and Smith walked. Morrell smashed the
ball for three bases, sending two runs home.
Morrell scored also when Doherty reached first
on Lincoln's error.
Again in the eigth, Doherty scored Morrell
on a two-bagger, after the latter had gotten on
by Lincoln's second error. In the third Bowdoin
had the bases jammed but the rally failed to ma-
terialize. Prosser and Clifford singled in the
fourth with none out, but they were unable to
advance further.
In the second Harvard earned only one of its
six runs, even considering the bases on balls
issued. In the eighth, Hallowell tripled and
Hallock followed with a double for the seventh
tally.

One Big Inning Settles Tufts Game
Mason Repeats Last Year's Victory Over Med-
ford Nine — Morreli Scoies Four Singles —
Handy Drives Out Timely Triple.
In a hard up-hill game on the Tufts Oval last
Wednesday, Bowdoin came through with a five-
run rally in the seventh, overcoming Tufts' lead
of three runs, and winning the game five to three.
In this inning Morrell and Doherty singled, and
both scored on Handy's three-bagger. The
catcher scored when Prosser reached first on
Lord's error. Clifford hit a sacrifice fly to Gladu,
Mason reached first on a fielders' choice.
Needelman was retired. During this time Pros-
ser scored. Mason now crossed the plate on
Cook's single.
In the first four innings Tufts found Mason
for five hits, two of them doubles, and scored
three runs. After that the Medford team wai
held to two singles, and Mason was never again
in danger. This game reminds one of Mason's
superb performance against Tufts last year,
when he pitched a no-hit game for nine and two-
thirds innings. Weafer had Bowdoin practically
helpless until the seventh, when he was knocked
out of the box.
Morrell played a splendid game, both at bat
and in the field. Out of four times at bat, he
poled out four singles. His playing at short
was pronounced the best seen on the Oval this
season. He had ten chances and accepted them
all without a slip-up. Handy's triple in the
seventh practically broke up the game as far as
Weafer was concerned.

Home Runs and Ragged Fielding
Figure in Maine Victory
Maine Wins From Bowdoin 6 to 5 — Doherty Gets
Homer — Walker Yields Only Four Hits —
Fielding Poor On Both Sides.
In the third game of the State series, played
at Orono last Saturday, Bowdoin lost to Maine
6 to 5. Walker, as usual, was hard to hit, but
he passed a number of men, and lost out
partly on account of this, but more on
account of poor fielding. Two of Maine's
four hits were home runs, which in-
volved the scoring of three tallies. In the first
inning Waterman scored Rusk on a homer, and
in the eighth Walker, the enemy first baseman,
drove out another circuit wallop for the winning
run.
BOWDOIN ORIENT

Doherty was the real individual star at the
bat, getting a home run (with two on), two
singles, and a sacrifice in four times up. He
scored two runs himself, and aided in sending
across the other three. In the first inning Cook
reached first on P. Johnson's error, Morrell was
hit by a pitched ball, and both men scored on
Doherty's homer.
In the fourth inning, Doherty singled, stole
second, and scored when Waterman fumbled
Clifford's grounder. After this the score was
4 to 2 in Bowdoin's favor, but Maine tied the
count in the fifth. Maine took the lead in the
sixth, and Bowdoin tied the score again in the
eighth, when Morrell singled, advanced on
Doherty's sacrifice, and scored on Prosser's hit.
Smith and Doherty each got a single in the fifth
and sixth respectively, but neither could get
around.
No play by play account of this game can be
given here, owing to the lack of space in this
special issue of the Orient.

Some Aspects of
American Leadership
These States of ours are united and we are
all peoples of this union, all Americans though
we come from far separated portions of this
great country. At our several places of resi-
dence we are all interested in the affairs of our
own town or city, county or parish and our
State. Each honorable citizen knows and feels
a responsibility and should take a keen interest
in the problems facing his community and in the
plans for bettering it, be it large or small, near
to him in ties of long residence or just a child
of his recent adoption.
Each of you wants your community, your State
to be leader, each of you wish to see the object
of your affection placed at the head. But you
wish to see it as a leader by leading, by straight
achievement, by bettering itself and not a leader
by the destruction of its neighbors. In fact each
of you wish to aid by every means in your power
to better your community and thus aid your-
selves.
Though we may be members of different com-
munities and different states we all have one
common love and one common duty. Our love
prompts us to do our duty, our love for these
states as a country prompts us to do our very
level best as our duty. We wish to see our
country in the place of leadership but of honor-
able leadership justly attained through advance-
ment, through progress, by bettering itself not
by the dominion and destruction of its fellow
nations. Our cry is "American Leadership" and
not "American Dominance.'' Too many nations
have been examples of Dominance and they are
gone.
Where there is a leading nation there must
be a leader of that nation. For every society
and organization of men must have a leader,
one to follow, and that organization is judged
to a large extent by that leader (through him)
must be expressed the ideals and attainments of
his people. The highest ideals of that people
must be his ideals and he must be a leader of
the whole people, though not a composite figure
of the people — not merely the reflection of the
people but a real leader who leads and one worthy
to follow and worthy of the confidence of his
followers who trust him.
The aspects of such a leader are to be con-
sidered,— those aspects above mere executive
ability, the qualities which are not usually con-
sidered but are usually taken for granted. As
America is a leading. nation so Americans are
in some way usually leaders and have been since
America came into being. It might be said that
one of the inborn characteristics of an American
is leadership. This is shown in many and varied
ways, in trade, in production, in science and even
in the physical development of our athletes as
one Englishman asked and then answered, "Why
does America usually beat us in international
competition?" and then the answer, "It is be-
cause in the United States athletics are treated
as a science and America leads, setting records
which we seldom equal."
The new era just opening contains new prob-
lems and new issues which must be met. How
to meet, to cope with and then attain the end
through the fight depends on the qualities of the
new leadership which must be developed. And
yet these qualities are not new, they are old,
as old as is leadership, we all know them though
perhaps do not think of them as qualities of
leadership. They are old but they must be
grasped with as warm a welcome as though just
discovered and included with as much fervor as
though a new found friend and guarded as
though an ancient and honorable heritage from
our fathers.

The leaders of the new age must be imbued
with that necessary and first quality of sincere
conviction. He must be one who searches for
the truth, searches for a sure foundation for his
belief, one who will sacrifice in order to attain
and hold as his own the truth as he sees it. Sound
convictions are builded on time and study, sure
belief is founded on whole testimony and not on
half truths. Sincere conviction as a quality of a
man shows love for truth and honesty and this
love can never die. His convictions must not
tend toward stubbornness and the attitude that a
sincere mind is always in the right must not be
his attitude. But he must believe that a different
way is not, necessarily, an inferior way.
The second quality of leadership which must
be in the mind of those leaders of America is a
sincere courage of conviction. As a true belief
in the truth as he sees it is important so a cour-
age to proclaim or defend this conviction should
be his strong attribute. In this day of striving
so many who strive for leadership have true
convictions but when called upon to stand by
their convictions before adverse and criticising
audiences they often change or even belittle the
cause in which they truly believe. The most
evident example of this is to be found in the
stand a man takes for Christian ideals. With
himself and friends and Christians he is sincere
and proclaims his beliefs, but when placed in the
other crowd, where the atmosphere is different
and criticism is paramount it would be a difficult
task to even obtain his beliefs and next to im-
possible to have him defend them. He loves
and believes in his convictions but has not the
courage to back them up, not even the courage
to face an unsympathetic audience. But the
leaders of this new era should have courage —
courage to face adverse audiences, courage to
cling to a belief and defend it as long as it is
truly a belief — not merely one who caters to
public opinion changing as the audience is
changed but one who has the sincere courage
of his conviction.
Another attribute to be included is that of
education — not necessarily so much book and
laboratory knowledge, not memory only, but real
education, that four square kind that is the ideal
of most of us. The education of a man widens
his field of vision, it broadens, and in this way
aids the man to see as others see, and yet not
forsake his own way unless firmly convinced
of a better. As our late great American, Roose-
velt, was a truly educated man so should the
future leaders be, men acquainted with books,
methods, literature, and best of all with nature's
laws, for we have often read that "nature's laws
are Gods thoughts" and every one, leader or no,
needs such thoughts. That which has led our
great leaders as Lincoln and Roosevelt to seek
higher and nobler things will lead our future
leaders to higher and nobler ambitions and on-
ward and upward.
These must be qualities of leadership, attri-
brites of an American leader and yet that is not
all. There remains yet that something, that
guidance, that real fountain within the man, that
punch, that ruling power that makes him fit for
leadership, makes him worthy the confidence and
trust of Americans who follow him. Other great
Americans have had it, likewise the great men
of the world. And now in this time of turmoil
and striving ahead it is needed badly and should
be considered an essential of leadership. It is
that which gave Washington his desire to lead
the stragglers and enabled him to quietly govern
them and be their leader. This quality was ever
present in Franklin and was a rule of his life.
Likewise Marshall and Jefferson, lived by it and
were lead by it. This quality moved Lincoln,
made Lincoln, and kept Lincoln a just, beloved,
reverenced and memorable American. It has
been present in all truly great men for without
it no one is truly great. Sometimes it is called
one thing and sometimes another yet it does not
change. It is not fame, it is not money, it can't
be bought and it won't be sold. We shall call it
Christianity. It is not creed, it is not theology,
it is not ceremony nor is it form. It is a living,
working, leading, and livable power which
enables a man to. go beyond himself, beyond the
mere present with its rewards, it is the applica-
tion of the Golden Rule, it is to follow in daily
walk and service after Him who served humanity
beyond humanity's power of appreciation. This
attribute when possessed by a man rounds out
his character, his life, and his soul. Makes him
able to give his best for his America and makes
him able to present himself as a servant to his
fellow man though he holds the highest post in
the land. True Christian living must be the
dominating desire and the inspiring attribute of
those leaders of America who shall come in the
future, who shall come from this student gener-
ation.
Not new yet always new and yet an ancient
heritage from all of the best generations, some-
thing to cling to, something we shall guard and
cherish. These are some aspects of American
leadership.

SPRING VISION.
Light through the trees a spring wind blowing,
Mysterious south wind, past all knowing.
Caressingly sweet.
Vague in our hearts a strange warmth growing,
Restless our feet to be new roads going,
Carelessly fleet.
Hot shining sun through a dull gold haze,
Heavy the scent from the lilac sprays.
Lone singing thrush.
Slow heaving ocean, shi'ouded in grays,
Ships that pass silently out on their ways,
Mystical hush.
Happy the poet in spring's returning.
After the winter of toilsome learning,
Keenly to feel.
"Well may he pause to praise spring's burning.
Rightly he loveth her uncharted yearning.
Subtle appeal.
What is the song of this dreamer of dream
What says this watcher of meadow streams
To you and me?
For greater than self the poet seems.
He speaks for all with his idle dreams ;
What does he see?
Just eighty picked and racing men,
And eighty striving minds on fire !
Man yearning toward the light again
With unappeasable desire !
And eighty wills that shift and surge
With dizzy madness in the heat,
On, on, with youth's resplendent urge
To summon death to dull defeat.
And evermore these warriors steel
Their purpose with the sense of right,
And after the fervor still they feel
Ideals that began the fight.
-Robert Winthrop Mors
IVY DAY ODE
(Air: All Those Endearing Young Charms.)
O dear Bowdoin, this ivy we plant by thy wall,
Is a symbol of love ever true.
And the sight of it ever shall mem'ries recall,
Sweet mem'ries, dear Bowdoin. of you.
Three years we have spent in the shade of thy pines,
Three years with true happiness bright.
And the ivy shall grow to encircle the shrines.
Of the days when our hearts were so light.
In the days yet to come when life's highway seems hard,
And we're tired of work without cease,
We'll turn back to the spot that our ivy will guard;
And find that in Bowdoin is peace.
So grow, blessed ivy, and with thy green arms.
Bind closer our friendship for aye.
That our hearts may turn back from the world's fierce alarm
To the spot where we linger today.
— Joseph Lynwood Badger
Our Dead — The Gallant Unreturning
At the Memorial Day exercises in Chapel last
Sunday, the list of Bowdoin and Brunswick men
dead in the war was read by President Sill?.
Professor Burnett's address was especially beau-
tiful in feeling for Bowdoin dead and happy in
expression of th,e common aim for living and
dead; moreover it gave challenge so well to the
ignoble elements at work today among the na-
tions that the Orient is glad to give it place, re-
gretting the few abridgments necessary, m a
number devoted so completely to the festivities
of the present.
"This is the day for the praise of the dead, — our dead :
the youths who but yesterday crowded with the others into
these seats at Chapel and vespers and did the things you
do ; our dead, who, born and growing up in this village,
exchanged the easy, friendly life of our peaceful com-
munity for ways that first amaze and rack the soul with
pain and fearful turmoil and peals of doom before the
exhausted frame is stricken with eternal quiet ; cur dead,
from homes in every corner of our land ; our dead — dare I
say it? — from homes across the sea, of whom Rickard once
wrote : 'That frail human lives should struggle so and
suffer so for such an eternity is beyond comprehension.'
"But thus to praise the dead is but another way to praise
the living — the gallant returning ; — you living, who, scat-
tered among this company, from Freshman bench to Senior,
wagered all, as did your fallen comrades, but have been
kept for further tasks.
"Yet this is also a day of mourning, of bitter moum'ng,
for the dead, — for their great and eager hopes stricken with
blight; a day of brooding sorrow for our own fickle hearts
(or is it our leaders?) ; for ourselves, the living, that are
becoming traitors to our dead ; traitors to those living also
whose hurt and broken bodies present to daily gaze the
price-mark of their devotion. They gave their youth away
for a new world. Dare I say that this was their motive?
Dare I say that men everywhere, among the allied nations,
accepted the call to enter the Valley of Death, consented
to their own destruction, because they somehow felt that
in this huge and dreadful endeavor we were trying to alter
the face of the world, by establishing a better relation, yes,
a friendly relation among the peoples ? Oh, I know that
this was often a dumb aspiration ; that commonplace ex-
pression of commonplace motives could be quoted from many
a soldier's lips to refute me. But was it to such common-
places that the heart warmed and the blood ran full? Where
now is their high hope of friendly peoples — the hope of these
dead ? Now, but eighteen months after armistice, where
are those friendly relations among nations?
"In the press of the struggle it seemed that they believed
in each other. On at least one great occasion Woodrow
Wilson could venture a great appeal to the sense of com-
mon good even in the foe, — an appeal against the Germans,
running mad in the world, to a truer Germany, hidden in
the souls of that nation, misled by its leaders, self-deceived,
if you will, but not beyond the reach of a friendly voice
of reason, appealing to manhood, assuring a nation, on for-
saking its false leaders, its false gods, of a welcome into
the family of nations.
"With victory came a loss more terrible in portent for
the future than losses in battle; the allied nations lost their
faith in each other. And soon each nation gave grounds
to all for this distrust of each. Demands for the fulfillment
BOWDOIN ORIENT
83
of secret treaties written in the old spirit of distrust, de-
mands for overwhelming the foe with economic burdens,
when that foe was struggling out of its ancient, misfit form
of government, demands for coasts here and mines there ;
for the principle of the self-determination of peoples when
it worked one way and rejection of the principle when it
worked the other. And now, even America, who, we may
say in all humility, had no selfish interest to promote and
was standing for the common good of peoples, in the dark
days of the Conference, and looked on, heart sick, at that
unregenerate struggle : — even America, alarmed at its own
venture in moral greatness, is hurrying back to isolation
and sauve qui pcut,
"Was it natural to hate the foe? Beyond a doubt? If
it be a question of their right to complain, surely, surely
they can have no such right. The book of their judgment
is complete. But has this treatment served the interests
of the allied peoples themselves ? Did it bind up to heal-
ing processes the wounds of the nations ? Nay, rather,
it gave acid for balm and bound these wounds with iron ;
till now it begins to seem that the victorious nations have
not had the wisdom of even the serpent. I think the very
deact must mourn.
"The hcnored survivors of that other great struggle, our
Civil War, have quite another retrospect. A heavy price,
a dreadful price, they gave ; still the nation received that
precious thing for which they were paying. But the boys
of this later struggle ! Who of us that, in the general
mourning, reserves a special pang for some one dead soldier
friend, can look at his pictured face without a poignant
regret at the contrast ?
"Who is to blame? I think it is a tragedy of our human
nature, whether it be in leaders or in led, in a man or in
a people. Power makes us selfish. Alas, for (he human
heart, so great in peril, when a people is on trial for its
defense of an unselfish cause, not counting too great any
cost of its best selfish treasures ; but shrunken lo such
mean dimensions, when turned to its private pains !
"The way out, for the peoples, from our valley of hu-
miliation, seems to be the way along which we Americans
had begun to venture ; — the way of belief in our fellow-
men, the way of international confidence and kindnes.s ; the
way of faith that, as a man's good is the common good,
so the nation's good, no less, is in the good of all the
nations. So foolish this principle seems to a man or
nation in the effrontery of power ; so inevitably does its
abandonment lay us in the dust.
"John Hay once said to a Harvard audience that the
only working principle of diplomacy was the Golden F.uJe.
"We have tried distrust ; we know into what miseries this
has plunged the world. Youth has had the faith ; the seers
of the world, whether old or young, have had it. He had
it in whose honor the noble gateway is rising yonder on the
Campus. He had it who said: 'He that would save his
life must lose it.'
"Men of Bowdoin, fellow-townsmen, shall we keep pact
with our dead?"

Bates Wins Close Game
On Bowdoin's Errors
Flinn Hit Only Once After Second Inning —
Doherty Scores Three Hits — Bates Almost
Sure of Championship.
In an exciting game decided by errors, Bow-
doin lost to Bates last Monday at Lewiston, 3 to
2. Bowdoin had a number of chances to score
in the latter part of the game, but the team
seemed to lack the punch to put a tally across.
Bates scored twice in the first inning on two hits,
a sacrifice, and two errors.
Bowdoin scored in the second when Doherty
singled, went to third when Donahue heaved the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
ball past first on Handy's grounder, and reached
home on a wild pitch. In the fifth Clifford
singled, Flinn sacrificed, and tallied on a wild
pitch by Johnston.
Bates won the game in the fifth when Donahue
walked, and scored on Doherty's error after
reaching third.
In the sixth Doherty tripled to right, and al-
most made it another homer, but Van Vloten
managed to put the ball on him just too soon.
The Bowdoin left fielder repeated his stunt of
three hits as in the Maine game.
Flinn pitched a good game, good enough to
win, holding Bates to five hits, while Bowdoin
got seven. After the second inning Bates got
only one scratch hit.

"Peace in England"
The following is from a timely communica-
tion of Professor William Hawley Davis in Lon-
don, written at the request of the Editor of the
Quill, but received too late for insertion in the
June number. It is here printed for its decided
contribution to our knowledge of the war's after-
math in England.
"Service ribbons come first to my mind. There is ap-
parently no English badge corresponding directly to our
American Legion or service buttons. Instead, the Eng-
lish ex-service man wears his service ribbon, always en his
left breast — the news vender on his great coat, the cabman
and the constable likewise, the boots or the door-tender on
his sack coat, and many a truly modest chap on his waist-
coat. We encountered these ribbons immediately upon leav-
ing New York ; scarcely a steward, and certanly not an
officer of the vessel was without a set of ribbons, formed
into a narrow band, on his coat or jacket. In England,
and notably in London, the bands are everywhere. Some
appear to indicate limited or inconspicuous participation in
the war ; others, especially those displayed by stalwart fel-
lows still in khaki, extend to two strips or rows which
would measure nine inches or a foot in all, and which
cause amazement at the limits of human luck, pluck and
endurance.
"English real estate is likewise, so to speak, still in
khaki. Through the length of what was the pond in St.
James's Park runs a continuous war building ; there are
more on the noble terraces near the Mall, more here
and there on the Strand and throughout London — tempor-
ary structures, often covering great space, rapidly ap-
proximating in outward appearance the New England
abandoned farm or dwelling place, but still for the most
part occupied. One reaches the entrance to the great
Tate Gallery only to find the structure tenanted by a war
bureau. London residences, noble and commonplace alike,
are still placarded as war offices of various designations ;
one I pass frequently, not without an impulse to salute, is
marked "Officers' Estates." And in Kensington Gardens,
all through Holland Park near it, on a slope of Primrose
Hill, and here and there in even small villages and towns,
are now being busily sowed and planted what we call war-
gardens : close up to the wall of the Congregational Chapel
in rural Freshwater Bay are rows of potato plants.
"Wounded, disabled men, are less conspicuous than I had
supposed they would be. True, the boots and man of all
work at our 'residential hotel' is a casualty — 'shiapr.el:
early in the War ;' and behind a temporary hospital for
wounded officers opening upon a beautiful enclosed garden
I saw a tall young fellow bounding along on crutches anJ
one leg. Occasionally a wheeled chair or invalid's tricycle,
hand-propelled, is seen crossing Trafalgar Square. And a
few well-nigh demolished London beggars and colored-
crayon artists admit that they were soldiers. But in general
the object lesson of shattered human beings is not thrust
upon the visitor here. Perhaps these men, really numerous,
are merely conforming to the fine English custom of con-
cealing what is emotional or dramatic.
"The more far-reaching effects of the war upon British
civilization, I am of course njt qualified to indicate. One
Sunday afternoon we observed in Hyde Park a tremendous
gathering of demobilized soldiers and sailors. Chapters of
an organization similar to our Legion marched into the
park, eaih chapter with its tanner, and often with some
of its disabled members in a motor truck or a delivery
wagon. They were from all sectiens of London and its
suburbs, men crowding, eager, obviously of all ranks and
types and dispositions, but unified by an experience and
united in a temper which our great college and com-
munity gatherings only feebly counterfeit. On into the
great open park they came. The newspapers estimated the
numbers, I believe, at eight thousand. At last the group
near which I stood became reasonably quiet as one of their
leaders from the body of a truck addressed them on the
subject of some resolutions in favor of Parliamentary con-
sideration or redress which .he gathering had been si_m-
BOWDOIN ORIENT
85
moned to endorse. And as I overheard the phrases 'we who
have saved the country' and 'enable us and our families
to live in decency,' I wondered if chance had led me to
witness part of a great militant movement. But since the
action proposed was only political, and since the men
of the group are so sensible and harmless as I rub elbows
with them on bus and subway train each day, I conclude
that they are once for all demobilized.
Bowdoin Tennis Team Cleans

Orono, May 26 and 27, Bowdoin carried off the
honors in both singles and doubles. Captain
Partridge of Bowdoin was the individual star of
the tournament, winning the singles finals against
Woodman of Maine. Although handicapped by
cramps during the latter part of his match, Cap-
tain Partridge pluckily kept in the game. Cap-
tain Partridge, with H. Bishop, also won the
doubles finals against the Bates team, composed
of Roberts and Lesieur.

Portland Country Club Wins
From Bowdoin Golfers
Last Saturday for the first time a golf team
representing the College played against another
organization. A team of seven men, consisting
of Adams '20, Boardman '20, Graves '20, J. B.
Ham '20, McClave '20, Rounds '20, and Richards
'22, played the Portland Country Club. Bow-
doin's opponents included Turner, last year's
State champion, Campbell, the runner-up to
Turner, and a number of other high-grade
golfers of the State. Bowdoin lost all the seven
matches, but this might be expected upon con-
sidering the expert calibre of the Portland men,
and also the fact that the Bowdoin players had
never gone over the Portland course before.
Richards and Boardman put up the best game
for the losers.

Training College Men for
Business
The Graduate School of Business Administration of Harvard
University offers a two-year course to college graduates. The course
is designed to give a broad fundamental training for business together
with specialization in those fields in which the student is most in-
terested.
College men, looking to business as a career, feel the lack of ade-
quate preparation which enables them to deal effectively either with
general business problems or with the problems in their own special
fields. The Harvard Business School aims to fill this need.
Special emphasis is placed upon the application of business
theory to actual business problems. For this purpose the "problem
method" of instruction is used. The Boston territory affords an ex-
cellent business laboratory.
Courses offered: Accounting, Business Law, Banking and Fi-
nance, Marketing, Advertising, Industrial Management, Employ-
ment Management, Business Statistics, Foreign Trade, Transporta-
tion, Insurance, Lumbering, Income Taxation, Office Organization,
Printing and Publishing,
Completion of the two-year course leads to the degree of Master of
Business Administration.

Dedication of Robinson Gateway
LIEUT. WARREN EASTMAN ROBINSON '10
Killed in Action November 6, 1918, to whose
Memory the Robinson Gateway is Dedicated.
A most important feature of the Commencement
program was the dedication of the Warren Eastman
Robinson Memorial Gateway, Wednesday afternoon.
Robert Hale 'jo, a classmate of Lieut. Robinson, spoke
in behalf of Mrs. Anne Louise Robinson, who makes
this beautiful memorial gift to the college. The fol-
lowing is quoted from his address, which was of un-
usual beauty in word and thought.
Warren Eastman Robinson entered Bowdoin a boy
just passed sixteen, the youngest of his class. Beneath
the charm of his boyishness there underlay maturity
of purpose and stability of character. These innate
qualities of manliness joined to a singular good humor,
a rare capacity for friendship, a quick intelligence, and
a discriminating intellect made him at once a leader
in our undergraduate life. He graduated summa cum
laude and embarked immediately on what he designed
for his life career, the work of a teacher of science
and mathematics. But "the end men look for cometh
not, and a path there is where no man thought."
Lieut. Robinson first went into the front line with
his unit in the Chemin des Dames sector early in
BOWDOIN ORIENT
February. 1918, and remained with them until the
spring.
He was in the thick of the July fighting in the
Pas Fini sector Northwest of Chateau Thierry that
saved Paris and crushed the last German offensive of the
war. Here he was cited in divisional orders for
bravery. Then in September began the forty days of
the St. Mihiel fighting and after ten days rest he was
with his unit in the line again, this time in the
Neptune sector, north of Verdun, and East of the
Meuse. The glorious dawn of victory was breaking
over those shattered trenches. On November 5th, he
was chosen to conduct a difficult piece of reconnaisance
in the German lines. Though grievously wounded in
the enemy's wire entanglements, he succeeded in lead-
ing his men back to their own lines. On the next day,
he succumbed to his wounds and died. The deed of
gallantry that cost him his life won him a recommenda-
tion for the Distinguished Service Cross.
He was of the lads who "kept their rendezvous with
death." who "poured out the fed sweet wine of youth,"
who with a song "went down to join the tide of t^ie
gallant unreturning."
One likes to recall the words of Pericles at the
burial of the first Athenians who fell in the Pelopon-
nesian War 'Bestowing thus their lives on the public,
they have everyone received a praise that will never
decay ; a sepulchre that will always be most illustrious ;
not that in which their bones lie mouldering, but that
in which their fame is preserved, to be on every oc-
casion when honour is the employ of either word or
act eternally remembered. This whole earth is the
sepulchre of illustrious men ; . . ."
Warren Robinson's was of. these brave hearts knit
by war in one intrepid brotherhood, the brotherhood of
the invincible spirit of man. Only by deed and by
devotion can we keep the faith with such as he. But
of such devotion men may create visible symbols. And
so this gateway austerely simple is given to the college
by the generosity of his wife, Anne Louise Robinson,
in perpetual memory of her husband and of those
principles of loyalty, of sacrifice, and of devotion for
which he so nobly lived and so gloriously died. •
Mr. President, in the name of Anne Louise Robinson,
I ask you to accept for the college this gateway erected
to the memory of her husband, Warren Eastman Rob-
inson, of the class of 19 10. May it forever be to
Bowdoin men a hallowed reminder of their heroic
brother, and a symbol of that strait gate which leadeth
unto life.
President Sills in his address of acceptance for the
college spoke as follows :
Mrs. Robinson, Mr. Hale, Ladies and Gentlemen :
After the eloquent words which you have just heard
it only remains for me very briefly and very gratefully
to accept in the name of Bowdoin College this very
beautiful gateway which shall, as long as the college
endures, bear the name of one of her most gallant
sons. To those of us who know the college intimately
this gift means very much. With it are associated two
honored Bowdoin names, the devoted interest of the
donor, the memory of a vivid and beautiful character
who gave his all — no less — and whose body rests far
from here beneath the heroic wooden cross in France.
It all means much today ; but it will mean more and
more as the years go on. Like other memorials it will
exert an untold and unconscious influence on generation
after generation of college youth who will pass through
its graceful portal. On the walls of another New Eng-
land college there is a bronze tablet in memory of
some students who were killed fighting in the Revolu-
tion ; and the inscription is the precious line from
Horace :
Dulcc et decorum est pro patria mori.
A few years ago a young French instructor at that
college passed by and read the words, "It would be
sweet to die for France," he said, and in a few months
the challenge came, and like a true son of France he
left his new home and wife and children and met
death on the field of honor in one of the early en-
gagements of the war. It may be that a hundred
years from now some Bowdoin youth passing this gate
may look up and read, "In Memory of Warren East-
man Robinson, 1890-1918, Bowdoin '10, First Lieu-
tenant U. S. Army, Second Battle of the Marne, St.
Mihiel, Meuse, Argonne. Killed in action." It may be
that he too will think it sweet to die for his country ;
and it may be that he will enlist in some future war
for freedom under the spell of the inspiration of the
past. Better still is it to think that many a son of
the college will see in this gateway a symbol indeed
of the straight and narrow way that leadeth unto
life but also a memorial to duty simply and fully done ;
and the expression not only of accomplishment but of
hope. For what Bowdoin men have done they can do.
And on every campus not the only teachers are those
who sit in professors chairs. There is a quaint story
of Emerson, who when he visited Williams College re-
marked to the students that in the faculty list in the
catalogue he noted one remarkable omission — that of
Mount Graylock. And this gateway with its simple
dignity and beauty will teach generations yet unborn
that there is nothing higher or more important than
service, and nothing fairer than a young life sacrificed
for country.
And so by virtue of the authority vested in me as
President of the College I accept the Warren Eastman
Robinson Memorial Gateway presented by his widow,
and I dedicate it to the uses for which it is, intended —
a memorial to a brave son of the college, and an in-
spiration to right living and high patriotic service Co
all who shall pass by.
BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS 1920.
Every age of the world's experience seems to re-
quire a particular virtue. At times mankind needs to
summon forth all the latent powers of initiative and
invention and forge ahead on uncharted seas. Then
again comes the call to gather all the powers of re-
sistance against tyranny and oppression and to strike
hotly for freedom. Sometimes the world needs to ex-
pend energ}' and effort in the acquisition of fresh
knowledge. Then again when the world that has been
built up so slowly and painfully at such cost and
sacrifice seems to be cracking and falling in ruin, there
comes the time to hold fast, to act with deliberation
and restraint, to keep the head cool and the passions
checked. Manifestly such a period is ours today. If
much that is best in modern civilization is not to go
to waste, it will be because those who lead will hear
the call to wisdom and right judgment in all things,
will refuse to be swayed by prejudice and the preach-
ing of demagogues and agitators and will hold steady
though the heavens fall.
Such an attitude has not at first blush the attraction
BOWDOIN ORIENT
of a clear clarion call to action ; nor may it fall in
with the hot desire of youth to reform the world.
But when there are so many strident voices abroad
in the world preaching the doctrine of hate and mis-
trust, urging frantically the opportunity of getting
while the going is good, there is beyond peradventure
need of cool, clear thinking and of holding fast to
that which has been tested and found not wanting. The
times call for leadership that is forceful and temperate ;
and when the danger is past, patient still. Since the
war there has been the inevitable reaction to material
things, and with it a cynicism that is sweeping us from
our moorings. Many of the worst forces of human
nature have been unloosed. The spirit of vandalism is
abroad in the land ; for one may be a vandal with
words as well as in deeds. Ungenerous attacks are
being constantly made upon the principles of American
democracy. Ignorant alien clamor is too often an-
swered not by reason but by repression. The forces
of reaction add recruits by clouding the issues. The
profiteer doubles his gains by deceit and fraud ; and
the laborer responds by refusing to do honest solid
work no matter how high the wage. The wise words
ascribed to General Baden Powell that only ten years
after peace has been declared can the real victors of
the war be determined come overwhelmingly home.
We need all the intellectual powers with which God
has endowed us to think through to the right solutions.
Exhortation we must indeed have ; but the crying need
today is of quiet reflection and thoughtful action.
Some one once defined the chief value of education
to be the ability to discriminate between things that
difler. To do that requires first an open mind, a
readiness to receive, a desire to see the other fellow's
point of view, and always and everywhere the liberal
spirit. Proper training whether at school or at college
consists not only of educating the mind but of training
the taste and the conscience. The object of education
is indeed to make men free intellectually and spiritually
and to develop the resourceful mind in the strong
Christian character. Some times we need to spur on
to action ; today we ought to recall men to sober
counsels, to a realization of personal responsibilities.
The doer of the word has always his opportunity ; now
we need the thinker too. This age in which we live
.calls as never before for steadiness.
Nor is there any doubt that men today as always
will respond to sober, righteous leadership. To be sure,
as Wordsworth says :
"The world is too much with us ; late and soon
Getting and spending we lay waste our powers.''
"Of course the cash bonus is graft; but everyone
is getting his share — Why not I ?" is a remark that
has been heard of late. "What's the use of working
hard; seven dollars a day and loaf as much as you
will" is the slogan of some artisans. Many a shop
keeper and grocer and manufacturer with his eye only
upon exorbitant profits has frankly got all the traffic
could bear. Not long ago on a freight car not a
hundred miles from Brunswick there were seen some
I. W. W. verses intelligently written, the purport of
which was "Don't hit them too hard ; we have got
them going now ; be quiet for a while ; what's theirs
will soon be ours." "The man who works with his
hands will soon get more ; the man who works with his
brains will soon get less : the man who does not work at
all will soon get nothing," is a sentence written by a
public man whose name is honored all over the land.
These concrete examples remind us that all is not right
with the world in which we live ; but as a wise Yankee
farmer remarked, "It isn't the world that is queer ;
it's the folks that is in it." And we must always re-
member the words of Jehovah to Elijah : "Yet have I
left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which
have not bowed unto Baal and every mouth which has
not kissed him." For it is good to reflect that now
as in ancient days high-minded consecrated leadership
can recall men to their better selves even when they
have erred and strayed like lost sheep.
And that is the task of intelligent leadership today —
to make men and women everywhere see and accept
their personal . responsibility and to interpret their
aspirations, so that they will willingly follow. For the
evils in the body politic, for the ills in the industrial
world, for weaknesses in the social order we are every
one of us to blame just so far as our personal in-
fluence goes. And the trouble is that our influence is
too largely negative. We think more of rights and
privileges than of duties and responsibilities. And
when this is true of well trained thoughtful citizens
what wonder that the thoughtless and the careless are
out for all they can get. From college platforms and
from Christian pulpits should be sounded again and
again the old truth : "To whom much is given, of them
much shall be required." The force of example is
still potent. Duty is a fine virtue to call forth if we
remember that when we have done what we ought
to do we have just commenced. Wordsworth in his
lovely Ode to the stern daughter of the voice of God
thus concludes :
"To humbler functions, awful Power
I call thee ; I myself commend
Unto thy guidance from this hour ;
O let my weakness have an end !
Give unto me, made lowly wise
The spirit of self sacrifice ;
The confidence of reason give ;
And in the light of truth thy bondman let me live.''
With such a conception of duty the man of trained
and consecrated powers can go forth to teach and to
preach the doctrine of personal responsibility. For
when the leaders of a country or a community have
this sense of duty -others will in their light see light
and gladly co-operate.
Another function of sober leadership today is to
call men everywhere to work. There is a popular
fallacy that we should pity the toiler. Work is not
something to be dodged ; it is to be courted and wooed.
We need to settle down, to mind our own business and
to work. It is not simply because by increasing pro-
duction we can cure some of our economic ills.
Through industry we can also repair the moral fabric
of the nation. That Satan finds mischief for idle
hands to do is much more than a Sunday school
platitude. Restlessness and discontent often do as
much to break down character as do more open and
positive sins. We are put here to work. The task
of intelligent leadership is to see that so far as is
humanly possible every member of the community has
the opportunity of working at a task which he likes
and which will bring him due reward.
Where working conditions are still unsatisfactory
improvement should be made even through legislation
if necessary although much better through co-operation.
90
BOWDOIN ORIENT
The workman is entitled not only to his hire but to
the right of intelligent interest in what he is doing.
Democracy in industry may lead ultimately to a share
in management and direction ; what ought not to be
postponed for a moment is a generous attitude in in-
dustry that will make the humblest employee realize
his personal responsibility and his personal share. The
Report of the Second Industrial Conference called by
President Wilson hits the nail squarely on the head
when it sets as the aim of industrial reorganization
"the advantages of that human relationship that
existed when industries were smaller." "It should
emphasize the responsibility of managers to know men
at least as intimately as they know materials, and the
right and duty of employees to have a knowledge of
the industry, its policies and processes."
Men ought to understand what they are doing so
that they may once more have a creative interest in
their work. If that interest can be aroused, if in-
human conditions of working are removed, we can then
deal severely with the drones and with the agitators.
Work ought not to be a treadmill for animals ; it ought
to be a real opportunity for partnership with other men
and with God to build up a better world. Measured
by wages alone or hours alone or material benefits
alone, labor is still of earth, earthy ; translated and
interpreted as human effort it becomes not only worth
while (to bring about ideal society), but is illumined
and vivified. Replace the present low grubbing theory
of ".get while the going is good" with leadership that
sees in honest industry not only the nation's salvation
but the individual's glory, and a part at least of the
labor problem is solved.
It is not hard to carry this thought into all the
relations of life. We need to resist the tendency to
take things easily, to be indifferent and cynical. We
need not, to be svire, copy the austere manners of
the Pilgrim fathers ; but it would be well, as the
President of Princeton University recently said, if we
copied their austere morality. We laugh sometimes
at the New England conscience; but after all that_
willingness to work, that dissatisfaction with every-
thing that is not excellent are pretty admirable traits.
The early New Englander could not get along with his
neighbors ; we, his descendants, get along pleasantly
with everyone. But is not something lost when black
and white no longer exist and everything is gray? We
need more steadfastness, more conviction, more of the
sterner virtues. Above all we ought to get over the
tendency to play the soft and effeminate role of drifting
with the current. Leadership should call on everyone
to make the most of himself.
For it is half heartedness that is losing the battle,
and cowardice that leads to panic. The heart of the
nation is sound. Hundreds and thousands of our
American men and women will ultimately do the right
thing. But we get easily tired; we lose our enthusiasm
as soon as it is aroused. It is hard to hold to a
cause or to a man. And when we get tired of hearing
a moral issue discussed we drop it as if that would
settle it — and go about something else. That is not
the way this nation was founded. There were of
course periods heavy with disappointment. Valley
Forge was not the greatest trial Washington went
through. In 1785 after the successful conclusion of
the war so great was the lack of unity among the
American people that he wrote, "No dawn ever broke
fairer than ours — but now it seems almost as if the
war were fought in vain." But the leaders were stead-
fast; they carried their policies through, and they
trusted not the immediate but the ultimate judgment
of the people.
Today also we need to rally the forces of righteous-
ness. The war has shown us not only that the nation
will respond but that our youth is as sturdy as it ever
was. Human nature and the American character has
not changed in two short years. But we need more
enthusiasm for the old moral standards, and above
all more religion. A nation without faith like, a na-
tion without a vision perishes. We may become the
wealthiest and most powerful country on the face of
the globe ; but if we are indifferent to the common and
decent claims of humanity, if through snug self-satis-
faction we lose our moral leadership, we are false to
the very name of Americans. It is a common criticism
of college men that comparatively few desire to make
the very best of themselves, to use every talent God
has given them until the latest hour. The nation
which is a collection of individuals at times too gets
tired. But herein lies the task of consecrated leader-
ship, to spur on this great country to make the very
best of itself, to use all its resources and wealth and
moral influence, internationally as well as within our
own borders, for the good not only of itself but of
others.
No doubt it is true that in external circumstance
life grows more and more complicated. And that is
the reason for more knowledge, for more intelligence,
for more and more education. But it is not the
principles of justice and righteousness but their ap-
plication that brings difficulty and doubt. Religion
tells us what those principles are : the church preaches
them in season and out of season. And just as the
College helps to develop character among its members
through hard intellectual work, so it is the function of
educated leadership to apply to individuals and com-
munities and nations the principles of just and fair
dealing with discrimination and with intelligence. And
so today the call comes first to be steady. "O Neptune,
sink me or save me ; but I shall hold my rudder true,"
was the prayer of Seneca's helmsman — a prayer that
every good citizen may well repeat today. For if the
seas are stormy there is a haven ahead thrice blessed
if it be reached after a tempestuous voyage.
Members of the graduating class : —
It is an ancient custom that on this occasion at the
end of this beautiful service the representative of the
College should send you forth with a brief admonition.
You ought to congratulate yourselves that life will
not be for you easy or soft or certain. These are
times that try mens' souls. Much will depend not
merely on your actions, but upon your attitude. From
lessons learned in laboratory and history and literature
you have had elementary training at least in the busi-
ness of analysis and in judgments. On you and on
your fellows there rests the responsibility of testing
what things are more excellent and of clinging to them.
You ought to be able to discern what is cheap and
unstable and demagogic. You ought not to be fooled
by quack remedies and insincere pleas. Today the
voice of America calls to you down those centuries,
asking you to judge if her early ideals are right or
wrong. Your love for your country and your loyalty
to your community ought to be tested by your desire to
make country and community better. You must not
turn deaf ears to the demands of the present and the
future and rest in the doldrums of reaction. But you
ought also to remember that the past of this country
BOWDOIN ORIENT
91
has been glorious ; that your ancestors have given to
you a goodly heritage, that they are looking down from
heaven to see if you keep the faith. Your training
here makes you potential leaders. But that leadership
will be nothing worth while unless it is intelligent and
unless it is consecrated. Nor can you help others to
make much of themselves unless you make the best of
yourselves. Be steady ; be resolute : be manly ; be in-
dependent in thought and action but mindful of the
rights and interests of others. Go forth in the power
of the Lord of Hosts to join the multitude of earnest
Christian souls who like you have passed through these
college halls to enter into service. And remember that
Bowdoin has taught you that the heart and the mind,
that knowledge and love, that intelligence and charity,
are the things that under God's providence will make
this world fairer and men happier and heaven nearer.

CLASS DAY EXERCISES.
The annual Class Day exercises were held Tuesday
afternoon. .
The opening address was by Edgar Curtis Taylor,
theoration by Richard Kenneth McWilliams, the his-
tory by George Raymond Asnault, the poem by James
Sumner Draper, the prayer by Allan William Con-
stantine, and the closing address by Avard Leroy
Richan. The following abstracts have been made from
the history and the closing address. (It has been im-
possible.to secure copies of the opening address and the
oration before going to press.)
CLASS HISTORY.
I have never been particularly proficient in mathe-
matics and for the life of me I fail to recall whether
it was Woodrow Wilson or Jack Dempsey who said,
"The paths of glory lead but to the grave," but I feel
assured it was written just before writing a class
history. For to the historian, no matter how small, or
how humble the class, the class history is written
with those of parting and separation and I dare say
that the historian of, well, even the class of 1924 will
experience the same lacrymal sensations that I have
felt in typing these simple lines, meaningless perhaps,
to the rude world about us, but again, perhaps, faintly
recalling, to us, the brave deeds of the four, six or
seven years, be that as it may, that we have been the
honoured guests of Joe Bowdoin and the town of
Brunswick.
I must admit with a feeling of numerical turpitude
that I cannot begin this little memoir by giving the
total war strength of the class in round numbers, or
even in square ones — as every personally conducted
historian should. I have been trying to count the
class for the past five days but there are some men
who are around Brunswick so little that I could only
count them as half and fractions have always con-
fused me.
Withdrawing however from the field of cold calcu-
lations it is a pleasure to admit that scholastically,
athletically and socially our class ranks high. Among
the bright young faces that I see before me today are
many who are wearers of the emblem of Phi Beta
Kappa, that is — they wear it on their vest. _
Then too there are numerous athletes, barring those
of the Spanish and Assyrian variety and lastly, as I
have said, in the sphere of social activities, for cookie
carnivals and tea turmoils 1920 boasts some of the best
first story workers this side of dear old Harvard.
"How far that little candle throws its beams
So shines a good deed in a naughty world."
said Wm. Shakespere but if he were living today he
would put 1920 in place of the candle. In all modesty
let me say that we leave nothing to be desired and
much to be questioned. Not content with setting the
pace for years to come, athletically, aesthetically and
sympathetically, we have endeavored to impress upon
the young blossoms about us the beauty and sweetness
of honest scholastic endeavor and the kindly paternal
interest that the College feels in our trivial little
"goings on." No matter how long any of our number
wandered about in New York or Boston, if no one
else was glad to see him when he returned, he was
always sure of a warm welcome from the office and
its genial presiding deity. I recall even now, with a
catch in my throat, the burst of feeling that well-nigh
overwhelmed me as after a week's relaxation I re-
turned to my College duties and found waiting for me
an invitation to meet the Dean in his office, a sound and
convincing proof that Bowdoin is ever mindful of her
absent sons. Even in my wanderings my professors,
my Dean had been thinking of me.
Dear Classmates — we are soon to part. We are, to
use those beautiful lines of James Sumner Draaer :
"Shivering 'neath the city's heat
Wondering as we cross the street
Now that Dad's not standing trea~
How to get enough to eat."
But after all in the new Kirk Unabridged there is no
such word as fail. Always remember that from the
Automat to the Ritz is but a step. Begin at the bottom
and eat up. Sic semper stepor'hus. Let me leave you
with this thought. Raymond Asnault.
COMMENCEMENT POEM
1920
A broad horizon round us sweeps,
O'er capped by azure — crystalled space
That down, among the tree-tops creeps,
Fringing the wondrous arch's bare;
Where fairy, lace-like branches blend
With varying tints — or dark or bright ;
And all a pure enchantment lend
To human hearts, through human sight.
There, on the verge, erect in form,
Majestically rise the lofty pines;
Pointing to heaven, alike in storm
And when the wondrous sun-god shines,
Their soft, perennial verdure fills
With rich perfumes the bird-house bowers ;
Through summer heat and wintry chills,
They solace grief-worn, weary hours.
92
BOWDOIN ORIENT
The long gray years cannot subdue,
And time and tide cannot erase
The loyalty we hold to you,
For in our hearts you have your place.
What ever the future will unfold,
We'll count the hours spent with thee
Dearer to us than purest gold,
Our strength, our hope, our memory.
We love these walls ! Our lives they teach
To be with vital verdure clad ;
Erect with noble aims to reach
For joys that make each moment glad.
Our little, trembling notes to raise
Amid the universal choir ;
And thus to swell paeanic praise,
And bear our aspirations higher.
J. S. Draper.
FAREWELL ADDRESS.
One hundred and fifteen years ago the first class
graduated from Bowdoin College. A member of that
class placed an acorn in the ground where the exer-
cises were held. That little acorn was the beginning
of this beautiful, majestic Thorndike oak. Since that
time one hundred and fourteen classes have gathered
about it and bid this dear old campus farewell. We
are just beginning to realize that each class feels
that its departure is the most impressive — but merely
because its own farewell is from the depths of its own
soul.
All this campus is a stage. Each man in his time
plays many parts, his acts being four college years.
First he is the unsophisticated Freshman, then he is
the super-sophisticated. Sophomore. In the course
taken by our class he was next the soldier. However,
he returned and assumed the role of the dignified
Senior "full of wise saws and modern instances."
Alas ! he returns to second childhood. Not with
"shrunk shank" and childish treble, but with manly
voice and renewed vigor. We will admit, — sans close
college friends, sans inspiring campus, sans willing
advisors, but not without those helpful memories
coupled with that everlasting Bowdoin Spirit. What is
that Bowdoin Spirit ? Some have attempted to de-
fine it. I call it ^indefinable.
We, as a class, are now about to emerge into that
outside world which is at present in a period of great
changes. Reconstruction cannot be accomplished with-
out the aid of conscientious individuals. Those who
make up this great nation are individually responsible
and liable for its progress. Conditions will remain un-
adjusted until this fact is more popularly realized.
My classmates, this is easy to say in the quiet of
this peaceful afternoon while we are safely concealed
from that turmoil by our high wall of Bowdoin pines.
We are to venture forth from its protection all too
soon. This moment is the climax, — yet it is but one
fleeting hour.
We are leaving for fields unknown. For some of
us this may be the last fond glance over this wonder-
ful old campus, but those memories, that undying spirit,
and our eternal love for our Alma Mater shall con-
tinue to bind the bonds of fellowship and to keep in
our minds and hearts that spirit and those ideals which
make a college, a nation, and a world.
AVARD L. RlCHAN.
CLASS DAY ODE.
Words and Music by Jere Abbott.
Gone are the happy care-free days
Of work and play together ;
Gone are the walks beneath the pine
In the joyous springtime weather.
Gone are the songs that we used to sing
When the campus lights were low ;
Yet from all these
Spring memories,
To cheer where'er wTe go.
What though our tasks be hard to do
And our roads lead far apart ;
What though the tired heart be sad
And hard the way and dark :
Yet Bowdoin you will ever be
As in a by-gone day,
And thoughts of you,
So good, so true,
Will cheer us on our way.

PRESIDENT'S RECEPTION.
The President's reception took place in the Alumni
Room of the Library Wednesday evening. Professor
and Mrs. Moody, and Dean Thayer of the Medical
School and Mrs. Thayer received with President and
Mrs. Sills. The ushers were Kenneth S. Boardman '21,

S. Stetson '21.
MEDICAL SCHOOL CENTENNIAL.
Wednesday afternoon in the Congregational Church
the centennial of the Medical School of Maine was
celebrated. Addresses were given by President Sills
and by Dean Thayer of the Medical School. Follow-
ing is an abstract from the address of President Sills :
The maintenance of the Bowdoin Medical School
for one hundred years has been one of the great ser-
vices which the College has performed for the State
of Maine ; and it is appropriate in many ways that the
centennial of the Medical School and of the State
should coincide.
But today we ought not simply to look backwards.
If the school is to survive and to hold its place of
usefulness in the future, it must have far more than
it has now, the support, financial as well as sympa-
thetic, of the people of Maine. No profession marches
forward with quicker steps than does medicine. What
' was competent instruction in one generation becomes
old-fashioned in the next. Facilities and equipment
that seemed adequate and generous in 1890 are out
of date in 1920. The evolution of medica ; education
is clearly shown in the history of this school. At
first the course was only a few weeks, just a series
of lectures given in one year ; then it was extended to
cover two years ; then to three ; and finally to four.
Likewise the requirements for admission increased un-
til now no one can center the school without two
years of previous college training. The school has
also reflected the advance in medical science by its
physical surroundings. The school had temporary
quarters for 42 years in Massachusetts Hall, reminds
me of General Hubbard's story of .the regular minister
at a church in York who had been absent 40 years.
In 1S62 the school moved into more adequate quarters
in Adams Hall. Then later the two upper classes went
to Portland ; the building there was erected and the
Mason Dispensary added. It is a far day from the
annual lectures delivered in Massachusetts Hall in 1820
to the facilities offered today.
And yet so great have been the studies in medical
education that the facilities we have today are still
inadequate. This is, I think, an appropriate occasion
to inform the people of Maine of the needs of the
school. We ought to have an additional endowment
of at least $500,000 so that the school may have several
teachers who can give their full time to their teaching
and to research.
So long as the Bowdoin Medical School lives, we
are bound to maintain high standards and it is our
duty to plan at least for the next generation. The
people of the State of Maine who one hundred years
ago through the legislature entrusted the Medical
School to the "control, superintendence and direction
of the President and Trustees of Bowdoin College"
ought to know that the school properly supported is
ready and able to continue its good work and to pro-
gress ; but that without generous financial assistance
it is badly hampered and may not even survive. There-
fore on this centennial celebration I call on all who
are interested in the cause of medicine in Maine to
ponder seriovisly these questions :
(1.) Do we need a medical school in the State?
(2.) If the answer is affirmative, ought we not
to put this medical school on a firm basis so that
those who teach and those who study here may be
assured of adequate facilities, kept in touch with all
the movements of progressive medical education,
trained so thoroughly and so well that graduates of
the school in the future as in the past may go forth
to their great life work ready to take their places un-
afraid by the side of their brothers from the larger
schools?
If the funds for that are forthcoming, the college
will gladly continue its trust ; but we shall not main-
tain a school that is not first rate.
So much for the future. But I cannot conclude
these remarks without bringing to the school and its
friends here the hearty congratulations of the College
on a hundred years of work well done ; and the thanks
of the College to those devoted men who have served
on the Medical Faculty.

IS AMERICAN LIBERTY IMPERILLED?
Since the close of the World War a great wave of
radicalism has swept over the American nation. The
"Red" flame, so long smouldering here and there, has
suddenly burst forth. Revolutionary programs have
been freely issued in which the avowed purpose of
the radicals is to overthrow the present government,
and to inaugurate the rule of the proletariat. They do
not propose merely "to capture the bourgeoise par-
liamentary state, but to conquer and destroy it."
the masses is certainly important.
Following this wave of radicalism has come a tidal
wave of terror and terrorism against Communists,
Socialists, "Reds," and radicals of all sorts. Their
premises have been raided, their literature seized, they
themselves arrested, some have been refused seats in
legislative halls to which they have been duly elected
by American citizens, others deported to a land of
unrest and disorder. This campaign is being waged in
a rather spectacular fashion. The government means
business, and has gone after the "Reds" with every
possible weapon that it can use.
But are not these strange days upon which this
great Republic has fallen — days of repression, sup-
pression, and deportation? Is it possible that a great
democracy has to resort to such means ? Freedom of
thought and speech seem to be endangered, so that
the Englishman was perhaps right in his observation
when he said : "To the American, America' is 'the
land of liberty' not because every one is free to think
and speak and do as he likes, but because he is free
to conform to the accepted standards of thought, ex-
pression and conduct."
But can it be that even then, America is becoming
intolerant — America, the symbol of liberty, of whom
we sing, "the land of the free and the home of the
brave," — America, at whose great eastern gateway
stands the Statue of Liberty to welcome the stranger —
America, who has given to the world such a character
as Abraham Lincoln — America, who has developed the
94
BOWDOIN ORIENT
great free institutions which stand as a tribute to a
people's faith in democracy — America, to whose shores
have come the persecuted Puritans from England, the
Huguenots from France, the Germans from the Rhine,
the Jews from Russia, the Armenians from Turkey, the
Catholics from Ireland? Can it be that this America is
becoming intolerant ?
America must be careful that while endeavoring to
preserve her traditions of freedom, she does not sacri-
fice one of the greatest of these. During our Revolu-
tionary war, it is well known, that the great intellectual
leaders of the British Parliament favored the cause of
the Colonies. Among these were Edmund Burke and
Charles James Fox. But a tragic severance of friend-
ship came when Fox championed the cause of the
French Revolution. Edmund Burke abhorred Jacob-
inism, but even this abhorrence did not lead him to
call for the expulsion of Fox from Pariament. Has
not the America of the twentieth century shown her-
self more intolerant by the arrogant action of the
New York Assembly than the England of George the
Third ?
Liberty asks us a price, the price of tolerance toward
those to whom we do not wish to show tolerance. As
a noted English Lord has said : "The supreme test of
Civil liberty is our determination to protect an un-
popular minority in time of national excitement."
We must remember that supression can produce revo-
lution. We have but to witness Russia, and remember
France. "I will make them conform or I will harry
them out of the land," cried James I of England against
the Puritans ; and these words it has been said,
"heralded the struggle which within half a century was
to deliver up James' son to the executioner."
If it were possible to confine thought to any particu-
lar part or corner of the earth then we might hope
to accomplish something by deportation. But in this
age when communication is nearly the easiest thing to
accomplish, "thought is the most difficult thing in all
the world to repress, compress or successfully oppress."
Russia failed with deportation under the old regime.
England .was no more successful with her expulsions
from the colonies in her attempt to combat liberal
thought. Deportation is no sufficient weapon against
ideas. We cannot rid ourselves of thought or opinion
that way. The radical can be nailed to the cross, he
can be burned at the stake, he can be thrown into the
dungeon, he can be confined in a modern penitentiary,
he can be deported to Russia, but the real problem has
never been dealt with — his thought. It is an easy
matter to deport persons, but it is another matter to
get rid of ideas. That is what we overlook. Thought
survives the cross, the stake, the dungeon, the peni-
tentiary, and even the Buford to Russia.
The government must therefore make the aims of the
"Reds" known and understood. When their avowed
purpose is fully realized, then the people will stand
solidly behind the existing institutions. This will form
the strongest bulwark of defence against the propa-
ganda, and not high-handed actions by agents of the
departments of justice. The "Red" flame which has so
suddenly burst forth in this country will just as sud-
denly die out, in an atmosphere charged with under-
standing.
Education too must play its part. In this respect
America has been sadly negligent. We have allowed
masses of unassorted foreigners to come here, and we
have made a partial failure in handling the problem
of their treatment. Since most of them have come to
stay, it was evident that we must Americanize them
or pay the penalty for allowing them to group them-
selves in unassimilated masses. We are paying the
penalty ; we have not wisely conserved the interests
of our nationality. We need a serious crusade for
education and Americanization, and not an idle clamor
for suppression and deportation. That is the easy way
out, but only temporarily so.
America can remain America only through main-
taining its hold upon the minds and hearts of the
great mass of the people. They must intelligently ap-
preciate American ideals ; they must sense the real
value of American institutions ; they must share our
pride in American traditions. And if they will not be
Americans of their own free will, we can never make
them so by suppressions, proscriptions and penalties.
America's imperative, immediate duty is to American-
ize. Alexander Henderson.
TWENTIETH CENTURY GENIES.
In the creation of a social machinery we have come
to deal with genies of the imagination rather than the
realities of life. We deal with metaphysical and arbi-
trary factions of a vaguely conceived humanity.
What is humanity ? A term for all men, you say.
But, in being a term for all men, it becomes a term for
no man. How can we, who know so little of the
possibilities of any man, hope to deal successfully with -
such a giant genies of imagination as all men repre-
sent ? While the hopes, the fears, the aspirations, the
loves of one man are so mysterious and intangible, how
shall we treat wisely of an aggregate of all men ? In
attempting to deal with' an abstract humanity, are we
not sure so grossly to disregard the detailed nature
of any man as to make our conclusions anomalous and
open roads to deeper error and confusion ?
Yet constantly in these days do we treat of men
and the affairs of men in arbitrary and coagulated
factions. The newspaper — that great reflector of con-
temporary life — cries of the Church, the Nation, Big
Business, the Railroad, Labor, Capital, Trade, Science —
of arbitrary and factional groups. And what do we
mean by these exceedingly comprehensive terms ? They
are of too vast a scope for human ingenuity to analyze
or decipher.
Yet it would be sheer folly to claim that we should
abolish these arbitrary factions. They are essential
for communication and order in the world. But should
we not cease to defy them, or to idolize ourselves
through them ? They have brought us much material
happiness, and may they continue to do so. But let
us view them as they really are — as were temporary
means to immediate ends. How much have national
boundaries changed in our brief historical period? Like
oil spilt in the dust, the civilized world has expanded
and contracted in changing shapes and characters.
All ancient organizations of mankind have either
furnished or changed in form to meet advancing
human needs, till their founders would scarcely recog-
nize in present forms a likeness to the original. They
were not permanent. They could not be. Only the
human paver that shaped them persists.
And why do we constantly strive to deal with men
in groups ? Has it not been demonstrated again and
again that man collectively is less than man individual-
ly? "In Union there is strength," but strength merely
drives the arrow. The elevation of its aim is de-
termined by the vision of an individual, as Carlyle
BOWDOIN ORIENT
95
showed us seventy-five years ago. Great thoughts are
not synthesized in mobs. They are born in the in-
dividual brain.
In our deification of these humanly conceived idols
built of human material, we are fast getting into
chaos. We put so much force and thought into these
imaginary structures of a very real composition that
they become too gigantic for our control. No man can
foresee the results of such concerted action, as is
taken in the names of these factions. Great Her-
culean bands of men are putting forth prodigious
energy without adequate leadership, without control.
Might — ungoverned might — clashes with might. United
man copes with united man till the very foundations
of our civilized world rock and sway. Capital, whose
fullness no one knows, closes with Labor, which does
not know itself — each blind — too comprehensive for
human intellect — reaching down into the very fibres
of thousands of individual beings — but each with a
strength to spread pillars which shall bring the shelter-
ing roof of civilization toppling about our ears.
Why then do human groups . come to such grief ?
Why do they become but blinded mastodons clashing
in the darkness of ignorance?
It is because they are unnatural. The Universe is
operated by natural law. Of this one fact above all
others our centuries of study have convinced us. There
are physical laws, psychic laws, moral laws. All
creation moves by law. Slowly — very slowly — by a
trial and error method — we are learning those laws.
Christianity has revealed some, and holds in record
many others that with long study and experience
finally burgeon into revelation. By repeated study,
practise of our discoveries, and more study we are
making slow but steady progress in learning these
laws.
The world is recognizing that the principles which
rule mankind — which determine the relations between
man and man — must be those prescribed by Christ.
Those principles are the ones that work. He revealed
to us the mechanics of the world, and told us how to
operate that most majestic and most constant of ma-
chines— Nature. Only by meeting those conditions on
which the Universe operates can we progress. The
mills of the gods grind on. They will grind whatever
we place between the stones, but if we get between
the stones they will grind us.
In these factional groups we have vast imaginary
agents of a humanly conceived realm, operated on
humanly contrived law, but we forget, in our supreme
egocentrism, that every particle of matter and every
last creature represented is subject to that inevitable
law for which our ignorance can find no application to
such conceptions.
As a result of man's fancied creation and feverish
endeavors to rule a world of fabulous giants, composed
of the materials and creatures under the dominion of
the gods, we get a hopeless chaos. The prospective
gfiant servants of mankind become the playthings of
the gods. All things and creatures — mankind included
— can obey but one code of law. That law must be
the law eternal and incontravertible.
Man cannot build with his intellect a harmonious
world based on principles other than those to which
all his materials and himself are subject. It is
profitless to kick against the goads. Only by un-
wearied study and vigorous practises of that universal
natural law can we secure the promised order out of
the present chaos.
But those laws which govern human destiny — those
laws on which Christianity is based — so far as we at
present know them, have an application entirely per-
sonal. These laws are to govern individual activity.
Only by their application to the subject for which we
know their adaptation can we secure harmony. In
present factional groups we have purely human pro-
ducts, for which no natural laws have yet been de-
duced. They are unnatural products which cannot
function under eternal natural law. Truly man has
btiilded bigger than he knew.

PROFESSOR MITCHELL HONORED BY
GRINNELL COLLEGE.
On May 29, at the celebration of Founders' Day at
Grinnell College, the degree of Doctor of Letters was
conferred upon Professor W. B. Mitchell. On this
occasion two other honorary degrees were given :
Doctor of Laws to Professor Edward C. Moore of
Harvard University and the same degree to Professor
John W. Platner, Dean of Andover Theological Semi-
nary.
Professor Mitchell, who attended the celebration, re-
ports a delightful visit at Grinnell. The literary exer-
cises, and especially the pageant illustrating the early
history of the college, were of a high order. Grinnell,
founded in 1848 by some of the Iowa Band, who went
from Andover Theological Seminary and two of whom,
James J. Hill and Daniel Lane, were graduates of
Bowdoin in the Class of 1838, has long been regarded
as one of the principal colleges of the Middle West
with New England ideals and 'standards. Today it
has a beautiful campus, a thoroughly equipped plant,
a scholarly faculty, and a student body numbering
more than seven hundred.
FRIARS INITIATION.
The Junior Society of Friars held its annual initia-
tion at Portland June 12. The following men were
taken in from the Class of 1922: Averill, Flinn, Hunt,
Ludden, Page, and Partridge.

Welcome Back, Alumni!
At this season of the year, when a considerable
portion of our Alumni are on the campus and another
group of Bowdoin men are about to become members
of that body, we may well dedicate this editorial to
them. First of all, we, the undergraduates of Bowdoin,
bid you a hearty and unqualified welcome to your alma
mater. Though many of us are unable, for financial
or other good reasons, to personally greet you during
Commencement week, our welcome is none the less
sincere. We hope that you will help yourselves to
whatever accommodations we may have in our houses
and dormitories and feel perfectly at home in them.
Realize to the full the true meaning of Bowdoin
hospitality !
Needless to say you have the best wishes of the
student body for a most successful and happy Com-
mencement. May you meet more of your former
classmates and "pals" and in general form more pleas-
ant associations than at any previous Commencement.
Whether this is your fifth or your fiftieth, we wish
you a grand old time. The aridity of these United
States need have no fears for those inured, for a
short time at least, to Maine prohibition.
While we wish our Alumni a happy Commencement
first and foremost, we must remind them that they
have more serious obligations to their alma mater
than the mere attendance at Commencement exercises.
Duties not only in matters such as Alumni or Class
"drives' or in support of College activities to which
you have probably already given your attention, but
duties in taking a more active part in the policy and
administration of the College by expression of opinion
at least. Many of our Alumni are in position to ob-
serve other institutions — their practises and innova-
tions. Why do not some of these Alumni get busy
and make suggestions for the development and im-
provement of their own alma mater ? Even the more
recent graduates have noticed defects of administra-
tion or policy during their college course, why not
propose remedies for them?
In short, Alumni of Bowdoin College, we want you
to feel part and parcel of the active members of the
institution. We feel that we need your support and
counsel. Will you not give both as freely as you
gave your services for whatever came to hand during
your undergraduate days? We need them as much,
if not more, than then, ou have helped us often and
generously in a financial way. Continue to do so, but
help us in other ways by contributing yourself to
Bowdoin..

The Need of Sane Thinking.
Mr. Arlo Bates once said, "All of us can read and
write but most of us had rather lie down and die than
think," and indeed we have to confess at this time
when sane thinking surely was never more needed,
that what Mr. Bates said is much too true. There is
a feeling of intensity in the air, — even the most casual
observer will admit it, — a something that seems to
predict a great adventure in world democracy and
world ideas. And yet probably there is a great mass
of people who have not even bothered to try to under-
stand what it all means. They have not endeavored
to discern what the significance of the past has been
or to predict what the future has in store for them.
One might say that there are three places where
the ability to think sanely and clearly can be de-
veloped in a man, — at home, at school, and, for a few,
at college. The home as a factor in this respect is
uncertain. One is more often given to partialities and
prejudices there. So it falls chiefly upon the school
to train the youth in this matter. Yet we have been
unduly careless. How often we have allowed him to
come under the influence of incompetent teachers who
unfortunately were struggling so hard themselves for
existence that their ignorance and cynicism led them
even to discourage individual thinking and reasoning
for fear that the questions that would inevitably arise
would only expose their own lack of knowledge.
One must understand the past thoroughly before he
can say whether it is to be cast aside as a whole.
We must give it the utmost consideration and, casting
aside the bad, try to pick out of the past the best
ideas, and incorporate these into the new ideals and
feelings of the people of today. Therein lies the
difficult task and it impels the average man to say that
he cannot take the time— that he cannot bother. He
is certain that there are many who can do his think-
ing for him and in this supposition he feels secure.
Like the vast majority he follows the line of least
resistance. These people crave sensation ; they get a
certain thrill, a certain enjoyment, realizing that the
times are perilous. They feel that they can venture
very near the whirlpool and never be drawn in. They
have a peculiar inborn idea that, whatever may happen,
the government will remain secure and that they, as
spectators, will have witnessed a thrilling drama which
will have a happy ending. The idea of a national
tragedy is far from their minds. It is these people,
nevertheless, who, with their unthinking chatter, spur
on the radical element. It is these minds, unskilled in
careful thinking that furnish fuel to the flame of Bol-
shevism, failing to see the unsound foundation upon
BOWDOIN ORIENT
97
which its principles are based. It is these same
thoughtless people who allow incompetent office holders
to fill responsible positions and are we not more to
blame than they if we who have been thinking and
could have prevented it have allowed ourselves to be
indifferent ? The other man cannot do our thinking
but his actions can be a most violent stimulant to our
own minds.
There is a call now in this tense period of national
affairs to all of us. It therefore behooves us not to
talk glibly and obscurely but to think, and thinking to
give voice to our ideas in a concise manner. We must
realize, as never before, that what we think and what
our neighbor thinks are of vital importance. We must
realize that it does matter that these loose thinkers
who preach the destruction of our national unity are
allowed to feed the masses on glittering promises of
impossibilities just because of our indifference, just
because we feel that our small efforts will be in-
effective. Let us then endeavor to do our share, to
cast aside petty grievances, to try always to uphold the
ideals for which our government was formed. Let us
seek for the truth but let us season our facts with the
right portion of human thoughtfulness and kindness
and in so doing we have at least endeavored to be
sane thinkers. Iere Abbott.
JAPAN'S MONROE DOCTRINE FOR ASIA.
When we in America are told that Japan is simply
establishing a Monroe. Doctrine for the Far East, we
may be inclined, or we may not, to approve. But we
should not be misled by the mere implication of a
name. We must recognize this difference : The Ameri-
can Monroe Doctrine is defensive and all-excluding ;
the Japanese Monroe Doctrine is aggressive and not
self-excluding. We recognized the "status quo" in
South America and declared that the Monroe Doctrine
was to apply to the future only. Japan has upset the
"status quo" in China and has made the doctrine
retroactive.
Let me point out definitely what the provisions of
this doctrine are. Japan first contends that she must
have room for colonization and that Manchuria and
Mongolia are legitimate fields for her expansion ;
secondly, that she must have room for commercial ex-
pansion and that all China is a legitimate field for that
expansion : thirdly, that in all her political activities
Japan is merely endeavoring to protect China
against her own weakness which is a menace at once to
China and Japan; and last, that it is her duty and her
purpose to maintain the peace of the Far East.
Japan, infinitely smaller, less populous, less rich than
China and India, sets herself up and demands — not of
Europe that it keep its hands off, not of all Asia that it
bar Europe — but of China that she simultaneously
grant great and special privileges to Japan and agree
not to give favors to other countries.
Can Japan set up a Monroe Doctrine for Asia ? The
total of European possessions in Asia is 9,500,000
square miles, or more than one-half of. the total area,
with a population of 400,000,000, or four-ninths of the
total 9,000,000,000. China proper, is more than ten
times the size of Japan ; while China's population is
from six to eight times that of Japan. Yet Japan talks
of protecting Asia against European and other foreign
aggressions !
Japan makes much of the proposition that it is her
desire and purpose to help China, to interpret the West
to the East, to be the leader in the regeneration of
Asia. The contract is a large one. Is the undertaking
practical ? Between the social and political ideas and
ideals of the Japanese and the Chinese, there is a wide
gulf : the backgrounds in the two countries are as
unlike as are those of the L'nited States and Prussia.
China was for centuries Japan's tutor in ethics, phil-
osophy, literature and art. What Japan knows of the
West she has learned only recently. Japan can give
Ch\na lessons in efficiency, system and military or-
ganization ; what else can she contribute ?
The Japanese have not yet worked out a harmoni-
ously operating, modernized governmental system for
themselves. Japanese politics are not free from some
of the corrupt practices which are criticised in China.
Japanese court procedure and administration of justice
are still below Occidental standards. Japan has had
anything but a happy course to run in public finance.
Is it to be wondered at that the Chinese hesitate to
embrace Japan's profession of friendship and to ac-
cept the Japanese as their political advisers and com-
cercial guides ?
The question of the peace of the Far East lies with
the fate of China. If China can develop strength to
defend her own integrity, the peace of the Orient may
be preserved. If the partition of China once seriously
begins, nothing will save the Far East for the next
several decades from being a theatre of aggressions,
conflict and political redistribution.
The statement of the Monroe Doctrine by Japan,
which undermines and subverts the authority of the
Chinese Government, and tends to close the door to
others, sounds the death knell to the Open Door doc-
trine. The United States in an official communication
states very plainly that we cannot recognize any im-
pairment of this policy. The issue is created. It
exists today as an actual force, and sooner or later
must be settled.
Japan has stated this Monroe Doctrine for the Far
East. Is it in the interest of the world that Japan
should be allowed to establish a political and com-
mercial predomination over Asia? The answer is
obvious! No! Robert Haviland Adams.
INTERFRATERNITY BASEBALL.
Beta Theta Pi won the Interfraternity baseball
championship with a double victory over the Delta
Upsilon Fraternity.
The scores were :
June S — Beta Theta Pi 15, Delta Upsilon 11
June 11 — Beta Theta Pi 12, Delta Lfpsilon 3.
MASQUE AND GOWN ELECTIONS.
At a recent meeting of the Masque and Gown Magnus
Ridlon '22 was elected president. Karl R. Philbrick
'23 was re-elected manager. Plans were considered
for next year and it is expected that the Dramatic
Club will have an even more successful season during
1920-21 than it has had this year.
IBIS INITIATION.
The Ibis Senior Society initiated the following men
from the Class of 1921, Tuesday, June 8: Badger,
Haines, O. G. Hall, Helson, Morse, H. Nixon, and
Smiley. Morse was elected president for the coming
year, and Haines secretary and treasurer.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
BASEBALL AND TRACK CAPTAINS.
The letter men of the baseball team recently met
and elected William R. Needelman of Portland, cap-
tain. Needelman is especially well fitted for this posi-
tion as he has played consistent baseball all the time
for Bowdoin, and has been one of the most reliable
players on the team. His batting and fielding have
frequently pulled Bowdoin out of tight places. With
such a captain backed by the team of experienced men
which we will have next year victories should be ex-
pected for the nine.
By the election of Alexander Thomson of Skowhe-
gan the track team has a captain who has the ability
and personality for leadership. Thomson has been one
of the most faithful men on the track team in his
observance of training rules and in his persistent en-
deavor to improve his hurdling. In the dual meet
with Bates which was held at Bowdoin last winter,
Thomson was high point man. He enters a large
number of events and wins points in each at nearly
every meet. Thomson was elected president of his
class in his Sophomore year, this year he was elected
popular man by his classmates. He was a member
of the Athletic Council this year and will be a member
of both the Student Council and Athletic Council next
year.
Professor Copeland expects to visit the two investi-
gators after spending several weeks at Wood's Hole.
A portrait of the late Professor Chapman in an
alcove of his study by W. W. Gilchrist has been placed
in the Art Building.
1922 BUGLE BOARD.
At a recent meeting of the Sophomore Class, the
following men were elected to the Bugle Board of next
year : Carroll S. Towle, Editor-in-Chief ; Allen E.
Morrell, Business Manager ; William R. Ludden, Art
Editor ; Wilfred R. Brewer, Assistant Business Man-
ager ; Ernest M. Hall, Edward B. Ham, Henry H.
Merry, Eben B. Page, John C. Pickard, Hartley F.
Simpson, Eben G. Tileston, and Robley C. Wilson, As-
sociate Editors.
SPAULDING SCHOLARSHIP.
The College has received a gift of $50 for a scholar-
ship for next year in memory of Joseph W. Spaulding,
A.M., who died on September 11, 1919. Mr. Spaulding
was a Civil War veteran, who was Captain of Company
A, 19th Maine Regiment; he was in twenty-four en-
gagements of the Civil War, and was present at Lee's
surrender ; later he was a successful lawyer in Boston.
The scholarship is the gift of Miss Mary C. Spaulding,
of Melrose, Mass.
jFacuItp Jl3otes
Professor Burnett was the Commencement Marshal
last week at Amherst, where he was attending the
twenty-fifth reunion of his class.
Professor Ham represented Bowdoin at the in-
auguration of President Grey of Bates on Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week.
This summer Dr. Gross plans to spend six weeks at
Barnstable, Mass., studying the histology of the black-
crowned night heron. He intends to camp on a remote
point of Sandy Hook, two miles distant from the
nearest village. The largest flock of this particular
species known in this country frequents the shores in
this locality. Mr. Herbert Jobe, a Government agent
who is to accompany Dr. Gross, will operate a moving
picture machine and obtain much material for the
Audubon Society, of which he is a prominent member.

NEW MEMBERS OF
THE FACULTY
This year there will be two new
members of the faculty, one in Phil-
osophy and the other in Economics
and Sociology. Dr. Mortimer Phillips
Mason of Harvard, one of the best
known Kantian scholars in the coun-
try, will teach the first subject, and
Glenn R. Johnson of Reed College and
Columbia will have some courses in
Economics and Sociology.
Dr. Mason graduated from Har-
vard in 1899, and in the following
year received the degree of Master
of Arts. In 1904 he was awarded the
degree of Doctor of Philosophy by
Harvard. From 1905 to 1907 he was
instructor of philosophy at Princeton,
and from 1909 to 1911 associate in
philosophy at Bryn Mawr. He was
a lecturer on philosophy at Harvard
from- February, 1914, to December,
1918.
Mr. Johnson graduated from Reed
College in 1914 in the first class. Last
year he had all his work for a Ph.D.
degree completed at Columbia except
the thesis. His thesis is to deal with
public opinion as affected by the
newspapers. He is regarded at Co-
lumbia as one of the most promising
of the younger men in the field of
sociology. Mr. Johnson was in the
war service for two years, and often
during this period he gave lectures
to large army groups.
Annie Talbot Cole Lecturer
The Annie Talbot Cole lecturer for
the coming year is Paul Elmore More
of Princeton, New Jersey, whose sub-
ject is to be "The Spirit and Poetry
of Early New England." The lecture
will be given some time in December.
Freshmen Reception
Tomorrow evening (Thursday) in
Memorial Hall, at eight o'clock, the
Y. M. C. A. will hold the annual re-
ception for the incoming class. No
freshman should miss this opportunity
to meet upper-classmen and members
of the faculty. The "Freshman
Bible," containing a great deal of
valuable information regarding the
college and its activities will be given
out to the new men by the Y. M. C. A.
New Style for the "Orient"
In further execution of the plans
adopted by the Editorial Board last
spring at the suggestion of Mr. Arthur
G. Staples '82, editor of the "Lewiston
Journal," and former editor of the
"Orient," the appearance of the
"Orient" this year is radically dif-
ferent from its appearance a year ago.
Instead of two columns, eight inches
deep, there are now three columns,
nine inches deep. Copy will be set
in type one point smaller than before.
News will begin on the first page in
place of the old table of contents.
These important changes will effect a
considerable economy of space equal
to twelve and a half square inches on
each page and about four pages (old
style) in a normal issue of eight
pages.
Various minor changes are also be-
ing made, regarding the assignment
of duties to members of the board,
and regarding the position of adver-
tisements in the paper.
It is hoped that this remodelling of
the "Orient" will meet with the ap-
prival of the alumni and of the stu-
dent body. Constructive criticism of
the new system which will be of as-
sistance to the editors is solicited.

FRESHMEN !
Come Out For the "Orient."
Freshmen: Here is the first chance
that is being offered you to come out
and get into one of the most import-
ant college activities. You need work
only two or three hours weekly to
write enough copy to keep yourselves
well in the running for election to
the "Orient" board. You are to act
as reporters for the first two terms
of this year only, before three of the
candidates become members of the
board. A fourth man from your class
will be chosen at the end of the year.
Having once made the board, you will
be on it for three years, until March
of your senior year. Winning a place
on the "Orient" means a " 'Bugle'
honor" for three years also.
As for further advancement on the
board, two men are nominated for
managing editor in March of their
sophomore year, to be voted on by the
student body. In March of their
junior year, the same two men are
usually nominated for editor-in-chief,
to be voted on again by the student
body.
Assignments and further informa-
tion can be had at 3 Bath street (op-
posite the gates, near the Congrega-
tional Church). Come out now, and
get your assignment by Monday, Sep-
tember 27.
PROFESSOR
WOODRUFF
ELECTED
In the state election last week Pro-
fessor Woodruff won out by an easy
margin in his contest for a seat in
the next Maine Legislature. Profes-
sor Woodruaff ran as a pronounced
liberal and led the Democratic ticket
in Brunswick. He was the only Demo-
crat in Cumberland County to win in
this election. E. A. Drapeau '16 ran
strong on the same ticket, and al-
though he failed of election he stood
third in a list of thirteen names.
Among other Bowdoin men who
ran for office in this election are the
following:
John A. Peters '85 was re-elected
to Congress in the Third District. Wal-
lace H. White '99, candidate for Con-
gress in the Second District, won out
over Dr. Wallace N. Price, Medic-'94.
Frank H. Haskell '95, Democrat, lost
out in the First District to Carroll L.
Beedy ex-'03.
Percival P. Baxter '98 was re-elected
to the Maine Senate. Dr. John W.
Connellan, Medic-'92, did not win an
election to the State Senate, although
he was the leading vote-taker among
the Democratic candidates for the
Senate.
Henry A. Peabody '03 was re-elected
Register of Probate for Cumberland
County. Clement F. Robinson '03, a
son of the late Professor Robinson,
was easily elected to the office of
County Attorney.
NEW FRESCOS FOR
ART BUILDING
Edward P. Warren, Esq., of Lewes,
England, one of the chief benefactors
-f the Bowdoin Art Museum, has re-
:ently sent a gift of three frescos
(dating from the fifteenth century)
from the home of Fra Lippo Lippi.
The artist is entirely unknown, and
there is some doubt as to what the
paintings represent. It is thought
that they are scenes in the martyrdom
of Saint Sebastian. Among Mr. War-
ren's other donations are all the
original marbles in the Sculpture
Hall, and the Greek and Roman anti-
quities in three of the central cases
in the Boyd Gallery and in one of the
cases on the south wall.
The Gilbert Stuart painting of
Phoebe Lord Upham, wife of Profes-
sor Thomas Upham, which was sent
to the Art Building several months
ago, was not hung until just before
Commencement. It hangs in line with
the other Gilbert Stuarts in the Bow-
doin Gallery. Professor Upham was
an uncle of the late Dr. Thomas Up-
ham Coe '57.
The portraits of William Lambert
(the first collector of customs in our
country sent over from England) and
his wife, Harriet Lambert, by John
Smibert (1684-1751), have just been
returned to the Art Building. They
were lent last year by William Lam-
bert Barnard of Boston, who took
them away again at the beginning of
the summer. They have been re-
turned recently to hang in the Bow-
doin Gallery again during the present
college year.
Bowdoin Represented
In Olympic Games
In the Olympic games of this sum-
mer Bowdoin was represented by two
men. Coach Magee was a member of
the coaching staff, and George Good-
win '21 was in the group of 1500-
metre runners. In the try-outs held
in the Harvard Stadium last July,
Goodwin placed sixth in the mile run,
for which performance he was chosen
sixth man for the 1500-metre run at
Antwerp. Just before the track games
started, the Olympic committee ruled
that each country be allowed only four
entries in an event, so that Goodwin,
after making the team and going to
Antwerp, was unable to run.
In Bob Dunbar's column in the
"Boston Herald" of July 8, is the fol-
lowing: "Glad to see Jack Magee
admitted to the select circle of Ameri-
can Olympic team directors. He is a
home-bred athlete, was a star in his
day, and knows the track sport
thoroughly. He is sensible, and his
record at Bowdoin speaks for itself.
His boys won the Maine intercol-
legiates last spring, and his distance
star, Goodwin, was the only Pine Tree
athlete to register in the big inter-
collegiates."
In another column of sport comment
in the same paper, Jack was men-
tioned again as follows: "Although
not mentioned in dispatches, Jack
Magee, the popular and successful
Bowdoin College track coach, will be
a member of Moakley's staff on the
coming trip. Magee was busy getting
his passports through yesterday
(July 7), and will make a valuable ad-
dition to the corps."
Dr. Thomas Upham Coe '57
Dr. Thomas Upham Coe, widely
known for his philanthropies, especial-
ly for the Dudley Coe Memorial In-
firmary at Bowdoin, died at his sum-
mer home at Kineo, Me., July 31, after
two days' illness from pneumonia. He
was born at Northwood, N. H., Dec.
8, 1837. He graduated from Bow-
doin in 1857 and in 1861 from the
Jefferson Medical College of Phila-
delphia. In 1860 he received his
Master's degree from Bowdoin. He
studied at the Ecole de Medecine in
Paris from 1861 to 1863. After this
Dr. Coe practiced in Bangor until
104
BOWDOIN ORIENT
1880. He married Sada L. Harthorn,
May 23, 1867.
In 1880 Dr. Coe gave up his practice
and went into business, engaging
chiefly in real estate. He became one
of the wealthiest timberland owners
in Maine. He remained in this busi-
ness until his death.
Dr. Coe has been one of the chief
benefactors of the college. Besides
giving the infirmary in memory of his
son, Dudley Coe, he has left $150,000
to the college in the form of a be-
quest. He also bequeathed the same
amount to the University of Maine.
Dr. Coe was a member of the Alpha
Delta Phi and Phi Beta Kappa fra-
ternities.
JUDGE EMERY '61
Judge Lucilius Alonzo Emery '61,
former chief justice of the Maine Su-
preme Court, a most prominent figure
in law in the state, and a member
of the overseers and trustees of Bow-
doin, died at Hancock, Me., August 26.
He was born July 27, 1840, at Carmel,
Me. After graduating from Bowdoin
in 1861, he practiced law in Ellsworth,
from 1863 to 1883. He married Annie
S. Crosby in 1866. From 1867 to 1871
he was attorney in Hancock County.
From 1876 to 1878 he was Attorney
General. About this time Judge
Emery served two terms in the Maine
Senate, the first in 1874-75, and the
second in 1881-82. In 1883 he became
a judge in the Supreme Court. This
position he held until 1906, when he
was chosen Chief Justice. He re-
signed this office in 1911.
During the college year of 1889-90
he was lecturer on medical juris-
prudence in the Medical School, and
in the following year he was made
professor. In 1898 the degree of
Doctor of Laws was conferred upon
him by Bowdoin. In this same year
he was appointed lecturer of Roman
Law at the University of Maine.
From 1874 to 1907 Judge Emery
was on the Board of Overseers, and
from 1907 until his death on the
Board of Trustees. He was a mem-
ber of the Psi Upsilon and Phi Beta
Kappa fraternities .
At the funeral services which were
held at Ellsworth, President Sills rep-
resented the college.
DR. FREDERIC
HENRY GERRISH '66
After a short illness, Dr. Frederic
Henry Gerrish, one of the most promi-
nent physicians in New England, and
a member of the Board of Overseers
of Bowdoin, died in Portland, Sep-
tember 8. He was born in Portland,
March 21, 1845. After graduation
from college he entered the Medical
School, from which he received his de-
gree in 1869. In the same year he
was awarded his Master's Degree.
In 1872 he was appointed lecturer
on Materia Medica at the Maine Medi-
cal School, and in the following year
professor of Materia Medica and
Therapeutics. In the college year of
1874-5 Dr. Gerrish taught these sub-
jects at the University of Michigan.
From 1875 to 1885 he was lecturer
on Public Health in the Medical
School. From 1882 to 1905 he was
professor of Anatomy, from 1905 to
1911 of Surgery, and since 1911 pro-
fessor emeritus. Since 1886 he has
been an overseer of the college.
In 1904 Dr. Gerrish received the de-
gree of Doctor of Laws from the Uni-
versity of Michigan, and in the fol-
lowing year another from Bowdoin.
Dr. Gerrish has been a member of
many important medical societies, in
several of which he has been presi-
dent. In 1887-8 he was president of
the American Academy of Medicine,
in 1901-2 of the Maine Medical As-
sociation, in 1908-9 of the American
Therapeutic Society, and at other
times president of the Maine State
Board of Health, the New England
Surgical Association, and the Alpha
of Maine Phi Beta Kappa. He has
been governor of the Maine Society
of Colonial Wars, trustee of the Maine
General Hospital, and Shattuck lect-
urer of the Massachusetts Medical So-
ciety. He has also had a membership
in various foreign medical societies.
Several valuable books on medical
subjects, particularly the "Text-book
of Anatomy" (1899), have been writ-
ten by Dr. Gerrish. Some of his
others are "Prescription Writing"
(1878), "Sex Hygiene" (1917), and a
translated edition of Championiere's
"Antiseptic Surgery" (1881).
Dr. Gerrish was a member of the
Alpha Delta Phi and Phi Beta Kappa
fraternities.
Death of Edward
Francis Searles
In the summer occurred the death
of Edward Francis Searles, the well-
known philanthropist often referred
to as the "eccentric millionaire of
Methuen." In his lifetime Mr. Searles
was one of the benefactors of Bow-
doin, being the donor of the Mary
Frances Searles Science Building.
Football News

The large squad is made up largely
of light material, and as Trainer
Magee has said, a great deal more
speed must be shown by the men if
the team is to be a success. The
chances will be good if a fast eleven
can be developed. Bowdoin has a hard
schedule ahead, including games with
Tufts and West Point. The schedule,
BOWDOIN ORIENT
as arranged by Manager Willson, is
as follows:
September 25— Springfield Y. M. C.
A. at Springfield.
October 2— Tufts at Medf ord.
October 9 — Amherst at Amherst.
October 16 — Trinity at Brunswick.
October 23— Colby at Waterville.
October 30 — Bates at Lewiston.
November 6 — University of Maine
at Brunswick.
November 13 — West Point at West
Point.
Up to the beginning of this week
four men from the Class of 1923 have
come out for the assistant manager-
ship: Hanscome, Hunt, Philbrick, and
Sheesley.
Cross-Country Prospects
For the first time since 1914 the
Maine cross-country race this fall will
be run in Brunswick. Bowdoin ought
to do well with Goodwin, Hatch,
Towle, and E. A. Hunt left over from
last year. Goodwin especially is in
first-class condition after the Olymp-
ics. Coach Magee does not expect
to be able to give very much time to
the hill and dale runners on account
of his work with the football team.
Every man from last year's cham-
pionship team is back at the Univer-
sity of Maine, and Frank Preti is
there to coach nothing but cross-
country this fall. Jack wants as
many track men as possible to come
out for the team so that Bowdoin
can be well represented in the final
list of place winners.

The baseball team last year, al-
though it failed in the Maine series,
played some games well enough to
show that it was up to the calibre
of a championship nine at times. When
both the batting and the fielding were
up to standard Bowdoin was the
toughest kind of proposition to beat,
but in a number of games the nine
seemed to weaken in one or the other
of these two departments.
In the opening game of the season,
the team made twenty-two hits for a
total of twenty-three runs against
Fort Williams, and made three errors
which had no bearing on the score.
Captain-elect Needelman registered
five hits out of five, while Smith hit
four times out of six. Bowdoin con-
tinued its good playing at Lewiston
on Patriots' Day, when Bates, the
future championship team, was
swamped 12 to 2.
After these two games came the
southern New England trip, which
was rather disappointing as two
games had to be cancelled, one re-
sulted in a tie, and the fourth was a
listless game which Bowdoin lost. In
the Wesleyan game (8 to 1 in favor
of Wesleyan), the hitting was Bow-
doin's chief handicap, while in the con-
test with St. Anselm's (3 to 3), the
fielding was responsible for all of the
home team's runs.
The first game of the State series
came on May 1 with Colby at Whittier
Field. Flinn pitched a good enough
game to win, but Bowdoin's hits were
scattered, and for that reason Colby
won out by a score of 1 to 0.
Walker '23, pitching his first full
game of the season, lost to St.
Anselm's May 5 merely on account
of fielding errors. Both teams were
held to four hits.
The following Saturday Bowdoin
put up its best game in the entire
State series, when Maine was trounced
11 to 1. Smith and Morrell starred
at the bat, while the others hit often
enough to roll up the score.
In the next two games Bowdoin
kept up its fast work, against the
Portland Knights of Columbus and
Norwich University. With Mason
twirling splendid ball, Bowdoin won
the first of these games seven to
nothing. Doherty, Morrell, and Clif-
ford all hit well. In the Norwich
game Bowdoin had another batting
bee, driving out twenty hits for nine-
teen runs. Hall scored five hits,
Flinn three, and various others two.
At Durham, N. H., both batting and
fielding were weak, and New Hamp-
shire College won eight to one. Out
of the remaining five games, Bow-
doin played good ball in four, and lost
only on account of tough breaks. Har-
vard won seven to four on account
of one big inning when Bowdoin's
fielding went bad. The game with
Tufts was one of the most satisfactory
of the season, when Mason repeated
his victory of 1919. The Medford
team led three to nothing until the
seventh, when Bowdoin batted out five
runs and won the game. Morrell hit
four times out of four.
May 29, Bowdoin lost an interest-
ing game at Orono to the U. of M.
by a score of 6 to 5. Bowdoin outhit
Maine, with Doherty getting three
hits, one a home run, but weak fielding
in pinches let Maine break through.
The Memorial Day game at Bates,
which virtually won the championship
for the Garnet, was the hardest game
for Bowdoin to lose during the whole
season. Bates earned none of its
three runs, and Bowdoin lacked the
punch to score more than two. Time
and again Bowdoin had chances to tie
the count and win the game. Doherty
scored three hits in four chances. This
defeat seemed to take half the energy
from the Bowdoin nine, as Bates came
to Brunswick on Ivy Day and had no
trouble winning 9 to 5.
Coach Houser did fine work with
the team, as shown by the games with
Bates (exhibition), Maine, Portland
K. of C, Norwich, Harvard, and Tufts.
On the other hand he lost out on sev-
eral games owing to bad breaks and
slumps in hitting. Five men were
lost by graduation: Captain Cook, 2b;
Doherty (who led the team in batting
with the excellent average of .463),
of; A. W. Hall, rf; Mason, p; and
Prosser, of. Next spring there will be
Flinn, Walker, and Tuttle for pitchers,
Handy behind the bat, Clifford on
first, Morrell at short, Joe Smith at
third, and Captain Needelman and
Holmes in the outfield. There is sure
to be an abundance of new material,
so that Bowdoin ought to be well rep-
resented on the diamond this season.

GENERAL HINTS
FOR FRESHMEN
In this column an attempt is made
to explain and amplify for the benefit
of the incoming class various rules
and customs, which are often confus-
ing to new men at Bowdoin. A num-
ber of the things taken up here are
carefully noted in the "Freshman
Bible," published by the college branch
of the Y. M. C. A. The two subjects
most vaguely known deal with the re-
quired courses and some alternatives,
and with the rules governing proba-
tion and suspension from college.
For convenience in reference the
following is quoted from the catalogue
regarding required studies in fresh-
man year:
"Candidates for the degree of A.B.
are required to take Hygiene, the first
semester; English 4, the second se-
mester; and
"(1) English 1, 2; and
"(2) One of the following: Greek
A, B or 1, 2; Latin 1, 2; Mathematics
1, 2; and
"(3) A second elective from group
(2), or one of the following: Govern-
ment 1, 2; Physics 1, 2; and
"(4) To comply with the require-
ments in modern languages: That
each student who is a candidate for a
degree shall have completed, 1st, two
years' in either French or German, at
least one year of which shall have
been taken in college; and, 2nd, one
year in a second modern foreign
language to be taken in college from
those offered in the curriculum.
(Neither of these provisions is to be
interpreted as altering the require-
ments for admission.)
"Note. — Candidates who enter with-
out advanced Latin are required to
take Latin A, B.
"Candidates for the degree of B.S.
are required to take Mathematics 1, 2;
otherwise their freshman courses are
the same as those for candidates for
the degree of A.B."
While these rules seem self-explana-
tory to those familiar with them, it is
surprising to notice how many stu-
dents have no idea of their meaning,
especially in regard to section 4.
There is nothing obscure about the
requirement of Hygiene, English 4,
and English 1, 2. As for group 2,
most freshmen completely overlook
the first possibility. Nearly every one

BOWDOIN ORIENT
thinks himself "cornered" between
Latin and Mathematics. Why would
it not be pertinent to select two years
of Greek, especially if a man feels
himself insufficiently grounded in high
school Latin or Mathematics ? In
Greek a man can begin at the first
without needing any previous knowl-
edge, and can thus rely on his own
merit without the handicap of a poor
elementary training.
In group 3 there are four choices:
Between Government, Physics, and the
two courses in group 2 other than the
one first selected. For example, Latin
is chosen from group 2. Then the
choice in group 3 lies between Greek,
Mathematics, Government, and Phys-
ics.
Group 4 provides the chief compli-
cation. This is most easily explained
by showing the specific requirements
of a student who has offered French
for admission, and of another who has
offered German. Supposing a student
has offered two years or three years
of French for admission. The mini-
mum requirement of him after enter-
ing college is that he take French 3,
4, and one course in any other modern
foreign language. It would also be
perfectly possible for him, if he does
not feel strong in French, to take Ger-
man 1J 2, 3, 4, and one course in any
other modern foreign language.
The other alternative made possible
by the admission requirements is that
of a student entering with two or
three credits in German. His mini-
mum is to take German 3, 4 and one
course in any other modern foreign
language. Again he might take
French 1, 2, 3, 4 and a course in some
other modern language.
All of the above explanation applies
to candidates for the degree of A.B.
The requirement of Latin A, B, for
men who have offered only three years
of Latin for admission applies only to
the A.B. students, as B.S. men are not
required to have Latin. In addition
to this difference in the requirements
for freshmen candidates for the two
degrees, the only remaining difference
is that B.S. men must take Mathe-
matics 1, 2, regardless whether they
take Latin or not. Candidates for
both degrees have the same modern
language requirements.
The second difficulty, in connection
with suspension, is not to be cleared
up by any rigid explanation, as there
are no absolute rules, but in nearly
every case the following rules are
applied:
After six weeks in the fall pre-
liminary warnings are sent to fresh-
men who are doing unsatisfactory
work in any course. A warning in
one course, no matter how low the
grade is in that course, constitutes a
minor warning. A warning in two or
more courses is a major warning. At
the middle of the term the freshmen
have an opportunity to remove pre-
liminary warnings. On the other
hand it is possible for them to be
warned in courses not referred to in
preliminary warnings. If the mid-
term warning is a minor warning, the
student need have no fear of being
dropped at the end of the semester.
A student receiving a major warning
at mid-term will be recommended for
suspension by the Recording Commit-
tee if he fails two or more courses at
the end of the semester. In short the
rule is, that if a double failure at the
end of a semester follows a major
warning at mid-term, the student's
name is brought before the Faculty
for a decision regarding suspension.
The recommendation of the Recording
Committee is usually accepted. There
is only one other method of being
dropped for studies; namely, to fail
two or more courses at the end of a
semester and to receive a major warn-
ing the following mid-term. Thus the
general rule can be summarized in
this manner; two consecutive major
warnings are sufficient for suspension.
A student is supposed to receive a
warning in a course, if his rank is
below 65 per cent. A student who has
been dropped from college on account
of poor scholarship can be readmitted
only after a formal application has
been made to the Recording Commit-
tee, which then fixes the terms on
which he may enter.
As for probation on account of low
marks, any freshman who has a warn-
ing is on probation until he has re-
moved it. It is impossible to remove
a warning between mid-term and the
end of a semester.
A little information about some of
the student activities may be of in-
terest to the new men this fall. Few
freshmen realize the necessity of "go-
ing out" for something in their first
year. The non-athletic student can
win just as high a position around the
campus by his own hard work as the
athlete. In order to do this he must
begin in his first year, unless he is
planning to candidate for assistant
manager of football.
Of course the various branches of
athletics, baseball, track, football,
hockey, tennis, fencing, and rifle
shooting, are always open for anyone.
In other columns of this issue of the
"Orient" there is more or less about
the three major sports, with discis-
sions of last year's seasons.
Candidates will be wanted for the
assistant managership in track, base-
ball, tennis, and hockey, particularly
the first two. Other organizations
wanting men are the musical clubs,
the Masque and Gown, the band, the
"Orient," the Bowdoin Publishing
Company, and the "Quill."
A man going out for the track
managership is required to do about
two hours of work daily, as the man-
ager directs, during the track season,
indoor and outdoor. Baseball candi-
dates begin work in March, in the
Gymnasium, and continue to the end
of the season. In June two men
nominated by the Student Council for
each assistant managership (tennis
and hockey included) are voted on by
the Student Body. A year later the
same two men (usually) are voted on
again by the Student Body for the
managership. No freshman belong-
ing to a fraternity having the assist-
ant manager or the manager of any
sport can candidate for a manager-
ship in that sport.
Candidates for the football man-
agership come from the sophomore
class, and the same rules govern their
work as in the case of baseball and
track, except that the student elec-
tion comes soon after the football
season.
The musical clubs consist of the
Glee Club and the Mandolin Club, the
first of which is primarily for singing,
and the second being made up of in-
struments, chiefly mandolins. A call
for candidates will be issued this fall,
and the clubs for this year will be
made up before Christmas (although
a man may be dropped at any time
during the year). This organization
offers a number of excellent trips to
Massachusetts and parts of Maine.

Last year a concert was given in New
York.
The Masque and Gown gives two
plays yearly, a modern comedy at
Ivy, and a Shakespeare comedy at
Commencement. In addition the Ivy
play is given at various other places
in Maine and Massachusetts before
being presented here in Brunswick.
The elections for manager and assist-
ant manager are controlled by the
Masque and Gown itself, and there
is no voting on them by the student
body.
Any student who can play a band
instrument at all well stands an ex-
cellent chance of making the band.
Professor Wass has charge of this
group, as well as of the two musical
clubs. Managers and leaders in the
band and in the musical clubs are
elected by the members and not by the
student body.
Any freshman with literary incli-
nations ought to write articles for the
"Quill." Too few students take any
notice of the "Quill" except to laugh
at it. Essays, short stories, poems,
descriptions, or any other type of
theme is acceptable. Only three ac-
cepted articles are necessary for a
nomination to the board. In general
a candidate is elected after three ac-
cepted articles have appeared. In
spite of the fact that the "Quill" gets
little recognition from those who
have nothing to do with it, there is
considerable satisfaction in being a
member of a board of five or six men
who are managing the college liter-
ary magazine.
As for the "Orient," enough has
been said in another column regard-
ing candidates. The board which
makes it possible to publish both the
"Orient" and the "Quill" is something
that freshmen ought to consider. This
is the Bowdoin Publishing Company,
the manager of which is the only stu-
dent officer who has a salary for his
work. At least ten men should try
out for this, as it is too important
to be overlooked.
The desirability of paying the
blanket tax is a factor which should
be recognized by all students. It
amounts to $7.50 per semester, and
it gives one many privileges which
are very essential to a student on the
campus. The material benefits de-
rived from it are as follows: It gives
free admission to all athletic contests
in Brunswick except the Ivy Day base-
ball game ; it gives a free subscription
for the "Orient" and for the "Quill;"
it gives membership in the A.S.B.C.
(Associated Students of Bowdoin Col-
lege) and in the Bowdoin branch of
the Y.M.C.A. Without payment of
the blanket tax, no student has the
right to vote in a general election. In
addition to these definite privileges,
every- Bowdoin man ought to have
spirit enough to co-operate in college
activities to the extent of paying this
reasonable sum.

The Track Season of 1920
Once more the track season closed
last spring with a Maine champion-
ship in Bowdoin's possession. The
Maine meet was not won by so great
a margin as in 1919, but neverthe-
less there was not the slightest doubt
that Bowdoin had the best team in
the state after the Lewiston games.
Coach Magee began the season with
the loss of six men who figured con-
siderably the year before: Savage,
Higgins, Allen, Foulke, Holbrook, and
Caspar.
Last winter Bowdoin made a splen-
did showing in its two appearances
against other colleges. February 7
at the B.A.A. games, the relay team
(Averill, Hunt, M. H. Smith, Good-
win) defeated Williams and Worces-
ter Polytechnic Institute in the time
of 3 minutes, 16 seconds. Each man
ran 390 yards. Some of the Bow-
doin men entered in the other events
of the carnival. Palmer '23, going
at his best, defeated Dave Caldwell
of the B.A.A. at the tape in the 660-
yard handicap race. Palmer had a
handicap of twenty yards, and his
time was one minute 30 1-5 seconds.
Captain-elect Thomson performed
very well against a field of stars in
the 40-yard dash and also in the
hurdles. Moses got into the finals
of the 45-yard high hurdles with such
men as Thomson of Dartmouth and
Smith of Cornell. Goodwin finished
third in the handicap mile, running
an excellent race in spite of his work
in the relay.
In a dual indoor meet in the Bow-
doin Gymnasium Bates was easily de-
feated 82 to 26 February 27. Cap-
tain Dostie, Hatch, and Goodwin broke
records in the 220, 880, and the mile,
respectively. Bowdoin took ten firsts,
and Bates two.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
Although Savage and Higgins had
been lost, Jack had practically an un-
beatable combination in the hurdles
with Moses, Parent, and Thomson.
Everything was looking favorable for
the outdoor season. Besides the
hurdlers, Coach Magee had Goodwin,
Hatch, M. H. Smith, Palmer, Averill,
Dostie, and Parent for other runs,
Cook for the pole vault, Parent for
the broad jump, and for the weights,
Zeitler, A. M. Smith, and Ellms.
On May 1, the relay team went to
Philadelphia for the Pennsylvania Re-
lay Carnival, and won from Rochester
"University and Buffalo University by
.about ten yards. The team consisted
.of Parent, M. H. Smith, Hatch, and
Goodwin.
On May 8, Bowdoin swamped Bates
in another dual meet, this time at
Lewiston. The score was 86 3-5 to 39
2-5. Bisson '23 and Philbrook '23 won
their letters by landing firsts in the
shot-put and high jump respectively.
In the Maine meet at Lewiston,
May 15, Bowdoin scored 45 points,
Maine 31, Bates 25, and Colby 25.
As told in a previous account in the
"Orient," Parent, Goodwin, and Moses
starred, getting 29 points between
them. Parent won the low hurdles
and broad jump, Goodwin the mile,
and Moses the high hurdles, together
with picking up various seconds. Cook
won the pole vault, Thomson took four
points in the hurdles; Ellms, Zeitler,
and A. M. Smith five in the weights;
Hunt and M. H. Smith one each in
the middle distance runs. Hatch was
unable to run the half on account of
sickness, and Palmer, not yet entirely
recovered from influenza, could not.
place in the quarter. The two events
that really turned the balance in this
meet were the hurdles, where Bow-
doin scored seventeen points, losing
the eighteenth merely because two
men instead of three entered the high
hurdles. This victory was a great
satisfaction to Bowdoin, as Maine en-
tered the finals the favorite, and as
Coach Magee had emphasized the
danger of over-confidence, an element
not thought of before the victory of
1919.
The following Saturday Bowdoin en-
tered the New England meet and
finished fifth with 13 3-4 points, a
better performance than last year. It
is noteworthy that no other Maine
college scored a single point in this
meet. Parent took five points with
a first in the low hurdles; Goodwin
three by finishing second only to
Nightingale of New Hampshire in the
mile; Cook two and three-fourths by
tying for first in the pole vault; Ellms
two and a half by getting fourth in
the hammer and a tie for third in the
discus; and Dostie a half with a tie
for fourth in the broad jump.
The track season concluded when
Goodwin finished fourth in the mile
run at the I.C.A.A.A.A. meet on May
29 at Philadelphia.
Credit must be given to Coach
Magee for keeping the team up to the
point to which he had raised it last
year after six years of work. Seven
years ago track was at a very low
ebb, but now Bowdoin is right up at
the top again in the state, and there
seems to be every probability of
future success.
Five valuable men were lost by
graduation in June: Captain Dostie,
Moses, Ellms, M. H. Smith, and
Zeitler. Next year eleven point win-
ners will be left; Captain-elect Thom-
son, Parent, Goodwin, Cook, Hatch,
Hunt, Partridge, Palmer, A. M. Smith,
Bisson, and Philbrook.

alumni jBotes
The "Orient" particularly wishes to
be recognized as the central exchange
for receiving and distributing news of
the Alumni. Obviously this can be
done only with hearty co-operation of
the Alumni themselves, and especially
of the class secretaries. The "Orient"
can maintain no elaborate service for
the collection of college news outside
of Brunswick, and for notes about the
Alumni it must remain dependent on
the Alumni themselves and on such
newspapers as are received at the
College Library. The present edi-
torial board is making every effort to
realize the ideal set up by the Alumni
Council — to print all interesting facts
about the doings of the Alumni.

Commencement Items
The following data were not avail-
able when the Commencement issue
of the "Orient" went to press, and it
is printed here to be included among
the important records of the college.
At the annual meetings of the
trustees and overseers, Henry Hill
Pierce '96 was elected to the vacancy
in the overseers caused by the death
of Admiral Peary '77. The idea
of a rostrum proposed by the war

Glenn R. Johnson, A.M. (Reed Col-
lege), as assistant professor of
economics and sociology; the granting
of leave of absence for the second

Electricity —
the Master Force in Manufacturing
THE marvels of electricity have revolutionized our
manufacturing industries. With belts and pulleys
replaced by electric motors operating automatic — almost
human— machines, many a slow and tedious process has
been eliminated. The factory worker's task of yesterday
is made pleasant by his command of this magic power.
The Crane Company's plant at Chicago — electrical throughout— is a
model of industrial efficiency. Its 10,000 horse-power of driving
energy is brought by three small wires from a distant power plant.
Then electricity drives the machinery which handles the coal for heat-
ing, cuts the steel, sifts the sand and sorts the material — in fact does
everything from scrubbing the floor to winding the clock.
Such an institution is marvelous — superhuman — made thus by the
man-multiplying force of electricity. The General Electric Company
has been instrumental in effecting this evolution. First, by developing
successful electrical generating and transmission apparatus to furnish
economically this modern form of power. Secondly, through many
years of active cooperation with hundreds of manufacturers, it has
mastered the art of applying the use of electrical energy to a multitude
of needs. And finally, through branch offices and other distributing
channels, its products are made accessible to all.

Bowdoin Fighting Against Overwhelming Odds
Loses Game to Springfield Y. M. C. A.
Joe Smith Stops Six Touchdowns By Splendid De-
fensive Playing — Watson Stars For the Winners.
Fighting harder than any Bow-
doin team in the last seven years, ac-
cording to Jack Magee, on an intense-
ly hot day, the White lost to Spring-
field Y. M. C. A. College at Spring-
field last Saturday by a score of
twenty-one to nothing. The locals
outweighed Bowdoin twenty pounds to
a man at least, and had a squad of
over a hundred men to draw from
to play against the seventeen Bow-
doin men who took the trip.
Trainer Magee said that the tem-
perature on the field must have been
at least ninety degrees, and that men
on both teams were often almost suf-
focated by the clouds of dust raised
in every play. As a result of the ex-
cellent training that Jack had given
the men before the game, the Bow-
doin players showed much more speed
and endurance than the heavier and
naturally stronger Springfield men.
Time and again the game would be
held up for injuries to the home team,
but very rarely for any of the Bow-
doin players.
Bowdoin's splendid fighting spirit
was the only thing that kept Spring-
field from rolling up a much larger
score. Although the home players
made sixteen first downs, they failed
to carry the ball across very often.
In the first period two touchdowns
were scored in rapid succession — one
because Bowdoin attempted to rush
the ball on a fourth down instead of
punting it. In the second and third
periods the winners were held score-
less, although in the last period they
managed to push over their third
touchdown.
Jack said that Bowdoin never put
up a better fight under worse condi-
tions than on last Saturday. Further-
more he thought Springfield to be the
very best team ■ Bowdoin has played
against since he began training foot-
ball elevens here. In fact a number
of Springfield followers have said
that this year's team is the strongest
that has yet represented the Y. M. C.
A. college.
As for Joe Smith's splendid work
at quarter, after he went into the
game near the end of the first period,
the "Boston Herald" has the follow-
ing, "The tackling of Smith at quarter
was brilliant. He prevented several
more touchdowns by stopping Watson
several times when the dusky end
would have had a clear field." Smith
never missed a single tackle and cer-
tainly did help greatly towards re-
ducing the score.
Bisson got' into every play, break-
ing up several passes, and putting up
a fine defensive game at all times.
Dahlgren was injured in the third
quarter so that he had to leave the
game. He had just made a couple
of line bucks for a first down. Miller
replaced him, and was later replaced
by Phillips, who reeled off one run of
twenty yards.
Springfield did its scoring largely
by long runs, in which Watson, Cam-
mack, O'Donnell, and Schafer took
the most prominent parts. Watson
got away time and again for big

Freshman Reception
A hearty welcome to Bowdoin was
given to the Class of 1924 at the
Freshman reception Thursday night
under the auspices of the Y. M. ,C. A.
Russell M. McGown '21 acted as chair-
man and in a general way expressed
the greeting which the college extend-
ed to the freshmen.
As the first speaker, Professor
Mitchell welcomed the upper classmen
back to Bowdoin as well as the new
men. He discussed briefly the privi-
leges of college life and further stated
that in the present condition of the
social order the college is "borne on
the bent backs of the laborers" and
so it is to those less fortunate ones,
who have not had the privileges of a
college education, that every college
man has a great obligation. Profes-
sor Mitchell also offered the following
advice to all freshmen: "Breathe
deeply and keep the mouth closed."
He explained that the freshmen were
entering an undiscovered country and
offered as a guiding motto for them
a quotation from a letter which Cap-
tain John Smith wrote concerning
America, "Nothing is to be expected
thence, except through labor."
John G. Young '21, president of the
student body, in a very enthusiastic
manner urged all freshmen, and in
fact every man, to work and work
hard for Bowdoin. The key-note of
his talk was co-operation; he com-
pared Bowdoin to a large family, re-
garding it incidentally as a decidedly
democratic college with no snobs.
President Sills was the next speaker
to address the Class of '24. He dis-
cussed the many advantages of a lib-
eral arts course and particularly urged
118
BOWDOIN ORIENT
every man, during his college course
to adopt and cultivate some intellec-
tual hobby. Speaking both for the
athletic instructor and the minister
of the gospel he pointed out the ad-
vantages in combining athletics and
religion with the college life.
The last speaker was Carroll S.
Towle '22, president of the Y. M. C. A.,
who explained what the Y. M. C. A.
stands for in Bowdoin and that it
should mean Christian living and
good conduct to every college man.
He explained that under the new sys-
tem a fee of $1.50 would admit any
college man into active membership
in the Y. M. C. A.
After the speeches had been com-
pleted the student body sang "Bow-
doin Beata." Ice cream and cookies
were then served and as the men left
the hall they were presented with this
year's handbook.
The new handbook is a marked im-
provement over any yet given out at
Bowdoin. It contains considerably
more information than previous
"Freshman Bibles" and the style is
better than usual. Description of
student activities, college statistics,
and advice to new men concerning
fraternities, blanket tax, and campus
organizations are all included. It is
a pamphlet which is a decided credit
to the students in the Y. M. C. A. who
prepared it.
Northerner — "I am told that the
razor-back hogs you have down here
are very fast runners."
Southerner — "Fast! Say, I've knowr
some of them hogs, sah, to outrun-
to outi-un other razor-back hogs."—
Life.
The Reason Why.
A Maine farmer was in camp in the
South. He once tried to prove to a
Southern native that the razor-backs
should be fenced in and fattened up.
The native listened to him patiently
and answered: "That's all you know
'bout it, stranger. But when you's
lived here as long as I is, you'll know
that 'tain't wuth while to have no
hawg 'round here that can't outrun a
nigger." — Life.
Peggy — "Going into business?"
Howard — "No, fawther thinks I'm
too much of an awss. I'm going into
society." — Life.

gains, and no less than six times he
was stopped by Joe Smith from scor-
ing touchdowns after he had evaded
the rest of the Bowdoin team.
In the line Haines, Dudgeon, and
McCurdy did the best work, against
very formidable opponents.
The result of this game is not at
all discouraging for future prospects,
all the more so in that Boston Uni-
versity went clown to Orono and held
the confident University of Maine to
a scoreless tie. Bates turned down
Fort McKinley with Mttle difficulty,
but nothing definite can be forecasted
from that.
Next Saturday all the Maine col-
leges have hard games except Colby,
which is just beginning its season.
Bowdoin goes to Medford to play
Tufts, Maine to the Stadium against
Harvard, and Bates to meet New
Hampshire College in Durham.
The seventeen men who took the
trip to Springfield were Captain
Dudgeon, Guptill, McCurdy, Tootell,
Eames, Perry, Parent, Burgess, Wood-
bury, J. Smith, Bisson, Miller, Dahl-
gren, Haines, Phillips, Putnam, and
Morrell.

OPENING ADDRESS
AT CHAPEL
At the first Chapel of the year,
Thursday, President Sills, in his open-
ing address to the student body,
sounded a key note of high ideals
which is bound to be the guide of
every Bowdoin man throughout the
year. His address follows:
The college opens this morning un-
der happy auspices for its one hundred
and nineteenth year of service to the
State and the Nation. But it will not
be the busy and happy year to which
we all look forward unless in all the
manifold activities of campus and
field we are all ready to work hard
and to co-operate with one another.
Since we last met here in June the
authorities of the college aided won-
derfully by our alumni and other
friends have done much to advance
the best interests of Bowdoin. The
salaries of the faculty have been sub-
stantially increased; the building and
grounds have been kept in fine order;
the heating plant has been rebuilt; and
temporary provision has been made
by the purchase of the Mosher house
on Cleaveland street to provide par-
ticularly for the non-fraternity men
some of the privileges that were lost
through the burning of the Union. All
these things have cost money; and as
you all know it has been necessary to
advance the tuition fee. Even with
this advance, the college because of
its endowment and of aid from the
Alumni, expends on every student
nearly four times what it receives.
Feminine Curiosity.
"John," said Mrs. John as they left
the soda fountain. "Well?" "Wasn't
fifty cents a good deal to pay for a
lemon soda?"' — Life.
Mrs. B. — "In my opinion no one
can be good-looking unless well
dressed."
Mr. B. — "And yet Venus was con-
sidered a success." — Life.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
119
Some of the real needs of the college
have not yet been met; we must have
very shortly a new Union; we must
within the next few years honor in a
permanent way the men from Bowdoin
who gave their lives and their services
in the war. Nor have we as yet a
swimming pool and basketball hall to
complete our excellent athletic plant.
These things will no doubt all come in
due time. Last June we had one of
the finest Commencements in my
memory; more of the alumni returned
to pledge anew their loyalty to Bow-
doin than ever before except in the
centennial year. I think it no ex-
aggeration to state that not only our
graduates but the public at large are
taking a more intelligent interest in
our college than ever before. But to
whom much is given, of them much is
expected.
The college exists primarily to train
men to think soundly and to develope
a strong Christian character. A great
deal of education is concerned too
much with facts; too little with
thought. It matters not how great a
success you make of your college life
along social and athletic lines; im-
portant as all that is, you have missed
the real thing if you have not learned
to think straight. For that reason
and also because we believe in the
efficacy of hard work, here at Bowdoin
we strive to keep the standards rea-
sonably high and to offer a training
that is not shoddy nor superficial. To
that end the faculty is the greatest
contributary factor, as some of you
know to your cost. In these days
when it is hard to secure and retain
first rate college teachers it is in-
deed a pleasure to report that with
one exception every member of the
faculty returns. We all miss Assist-
ant Professor McClean, who left for a
well earned promotion, to a full pro-
fessorship at Alleghany College. Pro-
fessor Andrews, who was on leave of
absence last year, will offer two
courses in the history of art and be-
comes also the director of the
Museum. It is much to be hoped that
the collections in the Walker Art
Building will be even more widely
studied, both by the students and by
the public, than ever. Few citizens
of Maine know how very valuable our
collection is. It is one of the treasures
of the State of Maine. Professor
Davis is back from an interesting so-
journ in England. Professor Hormell,
who spent last year at Harvard, where
he had the distinction of being a visit-
ing lecturer, will give the courses in
Government. Professor Van Cleve
has been promoted to a professorship
in history. Of the two new men on
the faculty, Dr. Phillips Mason, from
Harvard University, who has had
teaching experience there and at
Princeton and who has a natural repu-
tation as an authority on Kant, comes
to us this year as professor of phil-
osophy. I recommend his courses to
the more thoughtful of you with the
suggestion that a college graduate
who knows nothing of philosophy and
of the progress of human thought is
far from being an -educated man. As-
sistant Professor McClean is suc-
ceeded by Mr. Glenn R. Johnson, a
graduate of Reed College and a
Master of Arts from Columbia, whose
specialty is in sociology and who is
recommended by the Department of
Economics at Columbia as one of their
most promising younger men. For
those who are soon going into business
the college makes special provision in
a course in Business Management and
in a new course by Professor Stan-
wood in the fundamentals of Business
Law. There has never been a time
when a knowledge of American and
of modern European history is so es-
sential as it is today and never in the
history of the college have there been
more and better courses in these sub-
jects offered.
During the summer the college lost
by death two of its officers, former
Chief Justice Emery of the Class of
61 and Dr. F. H. Gerrish of the Class
of '66. The one was for many years
a trustee, the other an oveiseer. Both
loved Bowdoin deeply. Two bene-
factors of the college died: Mr.
"Shortly after I was admitted to
the bar and was riding the circuit in
Kentucky," says Congressman Wil-
son, "I was appointed by the court to
defend a middle-aged fellow who was
indicted for the murder of his
mother. I took my client aside for a
consultation, and plumped the direct
question at him:
"'Did you kill your mother?'"
" 'Yes,' he replied. 'I killed her.' "
"'Why did you do it?'"
" 'I killed her because she wasn't
wuth wintering.' " — New York Mer-
cury.
Searles, the donor of the Science
Building, and Dr. Thomas Upham Coe
of the Class of '57 who not only gave
to us and endowed the Infirmary but
who left' in his will a legacy of $150,-
000 to the college. At a later and
more suitable occasion I shall dwell
more at length on the services which
these men rendered to Bowdoin and
Maine. But I can not refrain from
quoting here a remark made to me
last May by the late Chief Justice
Emery. Then in his eightieth year
he said that being an old man he
could not help feeling that things in
the world were going much awry, and
he was inclined to be pessimistic about
the future. "But," he went on, "when-
ever I visit Bowdoin and look into the
faces of the young men here. I feel
it's going to be all right." (Perhaps
he didn't know you as well as we do.)
Seriously when one hears words
like that said of Bowdoin and of other
colleges it makes us thank God and
take courage. The college wishes to
do the very best it can for each in-
dividual student. It did not ask or
tease a single one of you to come here.
But when you are here it offers to
you freely all its traditions, all its
fine buildings and beautiful grounds,
all its knowledge and wisdom for you
to use and enjoy freely and fully. We
do not seek large numbers because we
believe in keeping our place as a small
college. It is salutary to reflect that
there were nearly as many students
at Oxford and Cambridge in the six-
teenth century as there are today, ar.d
that colleges such as Balliol and
Christ Church have never had more
than a few hundred students. When
today our great state and national in-
stitutions are so overcrowded it may
be that if the small college is true to
its traditions it can give a sounder
In Georgia.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
and more thorough training than is
available in larger and wealthier uni-
versities. And thoroughness is what
the world needs today.
There are two qualities or "habits of
mind that I hope you will all learn at
Bowdoin in these rather restless try-
ing days. In the first place let the
college teach you to be fair minded.
Learn to discriminate between things
that differ. You will find a good test
of this as you follow the political
campaign. For example it is well to
recognize the fact that a man may
still be a good American even if he
differs very much from you in his
conception of American duty. A po-
litical campaign is chuck full of ab-
surd statements and unworthy argu-
ments and clap-trap. There are too
many indications that the campaign
this fall is going to be low toned and
bitter. Strive to found your own po-
litical opinions in fixed principles;
stick to them; and whether one of the
great majority or one of the hopeless
minority be fair to your opponents.
Then again as you start the college
year remember that a very large part
of the world's work is done by men
and women who have never been to
college, and that often they are
superior not only in their contribu-
tions to society but in their intellectual
attainments to the college bred. Learn
from the best people you see all about
you to make the best of yourself. And
learn to co-operate with others : for co-
operation is to be the keynote of the
next generation.
MAINE COLLEGE
FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
The football season began this fall
September 18, when Maine swamped
Fort McKinley at Orono, 58 to 0. Last
Saturday came the Bowdoin-Spring-
field game, the Bates-Fort McKinley
game, and the Maine-Boston Univer-
sity game.
Bowdoin is the only one of the four
to have all its games with college
teams, since the other three have
games arranged with the soldier
teams. Again, no two Maine colleges
will play the same college teams
previous to the championship series,
thereby giving the dopesters a hard
task.
Following are the schedules of the
other three colleges from now on:
Bates.
October 2 — New Hampshire College
at Durham, N. H.
October 9 — Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College at Amherst.
October 16 — Colby at Lewiston.
October 23 — University of Maine at
Orono.
October 30 — Bowdoin at Lewiston.
November 6 — Fort Williams at
Lewiston.
November 13 — New York Univer-
sity at New York City.
Colby.
October 2— Fort McKinley at Wa-
terville.
October 9— Fort Williams at Water-
ville.
October 16 — Bates at Lewiston.
October 23 — Bowdoin at Waterville.
October 30 — Maine at Orono.
November 6 — New Hampshire Col-
lege at Durham.
November 13 — Holy Cross at Port-
land.
November 20— West Point at West
Point.
Maine.
October 2 — Harvard at Cambridge.
October 9 — Brown at Providence.
October 16 — Rhode Island State at

October 30— Colby at Orono.
November 6 — Bowdoin at Bruns-
wick.
November 13 — New Hampshire Col-
lege at Orono.
CROSS-COUNTRY
The first try-outs in cross-country
came last Thursday on the Whittier
Field. In addition to the four runners
from last year, Goodwin, Hatch,
Towle, and E. A. Hunt, there are six
other candidates out, three of them
freshmen. Varney '23 and Renier '23
are the only two of the six who went
out last year. The others are L. M.
Butler '22, Fernald '24, James '24,
and Margesson '24.
Practice will take place daily ex-
cept when football games are being
played. Manager McGorrill is mak-
ing arrangements for a dual race with
New Hampshire College at Durham
in the latter part of October. The
exact date depends on New Hamp-
shire's schedule. The Maine state
race will be on Friday, November 5,
at Brunswick, the day before the foot-
ball game with the University of
Maine.
In the "Maine Campus" for Septem-
ber 22 was the following article about
crossc-country, showing how supreme-
ly confident the Orono institution feels
in regard to this season:
"With Coach Preti at the helm, the
University of Maine harriers are mak-
ing great headway towards continu-
ing their long list of successful sea-
sons. It is interesting to note that
Maine is one of the three colleges in
the United States that have a special
coach for cross-country. Thus it can
be seen that Maine is well up with
the leaders in this particular sport.
"Coach Preti is anxious that all
green men report at once as he will
need every available man to develop
a fast team. The management is en-
deavoring to arrange for a series of
meets with some of the large eastern
colleges and as we have an enviable
record it necessitates intensive train-
ing for the squad in order that we may
retain our laurels. The team will
probably go to the National's as well
as the New England's, thus it be-
hooves all the seniors, juniors, and
sophomores, who think they can run
to show their pep and come out for
the team as freshmen are not allowed
to compete in the National's. In our
own State Meet, Bates is a strong
contender and Maine will have to work
hard to bring home the bacon.
"Capt. Barnard is giving his un-
divided efforts to get together a wan-
ning team. As a nucleus Capt. Bar-
nard, Raymond, Herrick, A. E. Wil-
son, W. O. Wilson, McLaughlin, Pease,
and Cohen of last year's team are out.
It is too early in the season yet to
ascertain the value of the new ma-
terial as there are over fifty men in
the squad. In order to make com-
petition more keen, Coach Preti is
planning to divide the squad into two
teams and run races over the regu-
lar course."
COME OUT FOR THE
TRACK MANAGERSHIP
The first call for candidates for as-
sistant manager of track came Thurs-
day afternoon with the first call for
cross-country runners. No freshmen
responded last week, but some were
expected Monday. There is still time
BOWDOIN ORIENT
to get started in this work, and fresh-
men should come out for it, as the
track managership is one of the high-
est honors to be earned on the campus.
As said in the "Orient" a week ago,
the work is all directed by the man-
ager, and requires about two hours a
day during the track season.
Come out just as soon as possible,
report to Manager McGorrill at the
Beta Theta Pi house or at the ath-
letic field, and get a good start in
the race for a nomination.

Second Team Has Easy
Time With Morse High
The Bowdoin Second team had no
trouble in piling up thirty-one points
on the Morse High School eleven last
Saturday at Kelley Feld, Bath. Dur-
ing the greater part of the game Bow-
doin was able to break through the
lighter Morse line at will, although
the school boys held fast in one or
two tight pinches.
On account of the intense heat the
game was very listless and slow most
of the time. Bowdoin scored two
touchdowns in the first quarter and
another in the second. Morse put up
its best game in the third quarter,
and the visitors were held scoreless.
Again in the last period two more
touchdowns were scored, making a
total of five for the game. The last
touchdown involved the best play
of the whole contest. Captain
Granger made a short pass to Jacob,
who got away a forward to Gibbons.
The play started at mid-field, and Gib-
bons carried the ball over the line
after the pass.
Both teams were playing their first
game of the season, and the high
school team showed especial need of
coaching. Morse made only two first
downs, and fumbled the ball a great
deal all through the game. At no
time in the match did the locals have
the ball within sixty yards of Bow-
doin's goal.
The periods were only eight
minutes long, and with more time and
more energy Bowdoin could probably
have rolled up as many as sixty points,
as the Bath team had no defense at
all.

dence at Oxford next January.
PRESIDENT SILLS HONORED BY
COLBY.
At Colby's centennial commence-

Sills. This degree was one of a very
few honorary degrees awarded by
Colby last year.
More Candidates Wanted
For the "Orient"
Three men reported for "Orient''
work last week, but several more are
wanted immediately. Freshmen
should remember that crndidatir.g for
membership on the "Orient" board is
an easy task compared to some other
campus activities. A man can make
the board before he can make any
other organization except the band
and the musical clubs.

as soon as possible, and any further
information, by reporting to the Alpha

To the Freshmen
The "Orient" is glad of its oppor-
tunity, as the official mouthpiece of
the student body, to extend a hearty
welcome to each and every member
of the Freshman class. To most of
you, college is a new experience amid
a new environment. Like all of us,
you will have your difficulties in be-
coming adjusted to the new life. When
the going seems hard, it may help to
remember that every college man has
to undergo this period of adjustment,
and that by so doing he becomes
more of a man.
We can not urge too strongly the
need, both for himself and for the
student body, of Freshman interest
at the very outset in every form of
college activity. Every man has it
in him to do something; in athletics,
in music or dramatics, in writing, in
some one of the many varied activi-
ties. And by starting in at the be-
ginning the Freshman will find his
chance for succeeding much greater
than during his later years.
While it is worth while to go out
for an activity, Freshmen will do well
not to neglect their studies. The im-
pression you make on your instruc-
tors during the first few weeks will
often last throughout your college
course. Therefore, make it a point
to begin and continue the policy of
careful and intelligent study of your
courses.
Above all, remember that you are
a man among men. In your college
relations, in your fraternity associa-
tions, conduct yourself in a manner
to win the respect and confidence of
your fellows without the loss of any
of your own manly qualities. You
will find the friendships you make
one of the pleasantest and most valu-
able aspects of your college life; cul-
tivate them and be worthy of them.
SKETCH OF DR.
THOMAS UPHAM COE
The following memorial sketch of
the late Dr. Thomas Upham Coe, pre-
pared by Rev. Samuel B. Stewart,
secretary of the Class of 1857, has
been sent to the "Orient" by Mr. Ed-
ward B. Merrill '57. Mr. Stewart was
for forty years after his graduation
the clergyman over the Unitarian
Parish in Lynn, Mass. Later he re-
turned to his country seat at Ballston
Spa, N. Y., for his permanent resi-
dence in the summer. In the winter
he lives in Schenectady, N. Y., where
his son-in-law is employed in the Gen-
eral Electric Company. He knew Dr.
Coe in college much more intimately
than any one of the present remnant
of six members in the class.
"The Class of '57 — a remnant now,
six only and all in the 80's — deeply
lament the sudden death of our be-
loved class-mate, Thomas Upham Coe.
His four score and more years of stu-
dent life and professional service fol-
lowed by large adventure in public
affairs, rich in accumulating friend-
ships and widespread benevolence,
won the admiration and gratitude of
the communities he served.
"In college he was a genial modest
"I hear that Montgomery Mont-
gomery has taken his son out of col-
lege."
"Is that so ? Was the youth getting
rapid ? "
"Oh, no; but his instructor told
him to work out a problem in mathe-
matics and he objected; said none of
his folks had ever worked out, and
the father sustained the objection." —
Detroit Free Press.
fellow, attentive to the daily curri-
culum, though unambitious of honors.
He loved his easy chair and was a bit
inclined to seclusion; his table loaded
with good literature; to chosen friends
the latch out and a warm welcome.
How many surprises there have been!
Professional life for which he was
equipped in the best medical schools
at home and abroad, and to which he
devoted many years, failed to satisfy
his ambition, the unemployed wealth
of nature having weakened the genius
of enterprise. The story* is familiar
now how he turned the forests of
Maine and New Hampshire into ships
of commerce, amassing large wealth
with which he enriched the institu-
tions of education and charity in his
city and state. Especially we think
how he remembered his college with
large endowments to strengthen its
teaching force and to encourage am-
bitious and needy students. And the
College Hospital, in memory of an
only son, deceased in early college life,
attests the kindness and gentleness of
his heart.
"He was an active member of na-
tional as well as local scientific and
historical societies, an extensive
traveler and prominent in the financial
and political interests of his state.
Whatever promoted good citizenship
engaged his sympathy and support.
Upright, noble-hearted, unostentati-
ous, friend to rich and poor alike, gen-
erations will cherish his memory in
honor and gratitude.
"S. B. S."
"Ballston Spa, New York."
Mr. Merrill has also sent the verses
printed below, which were adapted
from a poem written by Rev. Minot
J. Savage and read at the funeral of
Dr. Coe in Bangor, August 4.

Mrs. Black — "Do you remember
Mary Green? She was an orphan

Mrs. Blue — "Yes, I remember her.
But she wasn't an orphan."
Mrs. Black — "Yes, she was. What

Mrs. Blue — "Why, she had a sister
I used to know."
Mrs. Black— "Did she? Well, may-
be she wasn't then." — Rochester

IN MEMORIAM
(Dr. Thomas Upham Coe)
You loved him, friends; and in this
sacred place
Would you sit silent with your
tears today ?
But now his lips are still, and I must
speak ;
But what words can our thoughts
of him portray?
And gentle was he as a little child;
And, in his tender, sympathetic
heart,
Pain and sorrow found a hiding
place;
No pang of others, but he felt the
smart.
He loved his home. As needle to the
pole
Turns ever true on whate'er seas
men roam,
So to his fireside turned his constant
heart;
No spot so blessed as his home.
Yet from his home, as from a central
sun,
His love for man over the earth
outshone;
No earnest cause appealed to him in
vain,
That hoped to lead the old earth
up and on.
A noble man lies here asleep today.
Without a sense of weariness and
pain,
Sleep drew her restful curtains round
his bed;
And, though we call, he does not
wake again.
And yet, 0 friends! it is such as he
Who make the world seem empty
when they leave.
That he was noble is our comfort
now,
And yet 'tis for this very cavse we
grieve.
When all is said and done, we come
to this;
Though clouds be round us and
tears dim our way,
We still trust that He who makes the
night
Will lead us through it to the com-
ing day.
We'll hide his loving memory in our
hearts;
We'll follow in the pathway that
he trod;
We'll make each day another step
upon ,
The stairway leading up to him and
God.

The Bowdoin Chapter of Alpha
Delta Phi had its annual fall dinner
at the Gurnet House last Saturday
night.
Last Friday afternoon the Student
Council held its first meeting. Vari-
ous matters, including proclamation
and the date of fraternity initiations,
were discussed, but nothing definite
was decided. A second meeting took
place Monday night, but it has been
impossible for the "Orient" to obtain
the results before going to press.
Among the members of 1922 who
did not come back to college this fall
are: F. A. Allen, F. G. Averill, Proc-
Clarence was sent to the fish store
to buy a dinner for his master. He
looked at a pile of shad, became skep-
tical as to their freshness and raised
:>ne to his face. The dealer asked in-
Jignantly:
"What do you mean by smelling of
that fish?"
"Didn't neber smell ob de fish no-
how, massa. Jes' speakin' to him."
"Well, what did he tell you:
"Massa, I jes' axes him fo' de news
at de mouf ob de riber, an' he says
he done clean forgot, fer he ain't seen
no watah fo' weeks, massa. An' dat's
all he said, sah, all he said."

board.
Students on probation this year will
no longer have the privilege of week-
end cuts.
There was a meeting of the band
men in Memorial Hall last night for
the purpose of getting freshman can-
didates.
In a slow game on Whittier Field
last Saturday, Edward Little High
School of Auburn defeated Brunswick
High by the score of 21 to 0.
The college went back to standard

and Topsham. It is well to remember
that other cities and towns in the
state will be on daylight-saving time
through the month of October.

At the annual convention of the
Maine Department of the American
Legion on July 23 the following Bow-
doin men were elected to office: Vice-

1902 — The following note appeared
in "Forbes' Magazine" for Sept. 4:
"The very first task given Harvey D.
Gibson on entering the Boston office
of the American Express Company,
when he left college, was to shoulder
a couple of knapsacks — after he had
finished sweeping the floor — and de-
liver bundles of cancelled checks to
local banks. The first bundle he de-
livered was from the Liberty National
Bank of New York. That was in
1902. Fifteen years later he became
president of this same Liberty Na-
tional Bank. It is not quite the same
Liberty National Bank today, how-
ever, for its deposits have mounted
from $20,000,000 to $100,000,000
since he joined the institution and it
has become an influential power in
the financial world. Had he scorned
to sweep the floor and shoulder knap-
sacks, as being duties beneath the
dignity of a college-bred youth, is it
likely that he would be where he is
today?"
Hon. 1904 — Wallace Humphrey
White, former president of the Maine
Bar Association, died in Lewiston,
September 29. He was born at Liver-
more, Maine, September 4, 1848.
Since 1874 he has practiced law at
Lewiston. From 1876 to 1881 he was
Attorney in Androscoggin County. In
1883-84 he was in the Maine House of
Representatives, and from 1899 to
1902 in the State Senate. During
those three years he was also presi-
dent of the Maine Bar Association.
In 1904 Bowdoin conferred upon him
the degree of Master of Arts. Mr.
White married the daughter of the
late Senator William Frye. He was
the father of five Bowdoin graduates,
all of them distinguished in the busi-
ness and political world: William
Frye White '97, Wallace H. White
Jr., '99, John H. White '01, Donald C.
White '05, and Harold S. White '11.
1904 — Captain John W. Frost was
one of the delegates from New York
to the Second National Convention of
the American Legion held at Cleve-
land, Ohio, Monday, Tuesday, and to-
day. He has been visiting in Topsham
the past week.
1909 — Miss Anna Bernadette Flan-
agan, formerly of Lewiston, and
Daniel McDade were married at On-
tario, Oregon, August 31. They will
live in Burns, Oregon, where Mr. Mc-
Dade is principal of the high school.
1912— Miss Sally Churchill and
George Fabyan Cressey were married
September 15 at Berlin, N. H. Mr.
Cressey is a member of the firm of
The Power of Ink.
Lord Byron — "A drop of ink may
make a million think."
Cynicus — "And put by scribblers
into verse would surely make two mil-
lion curse." — Life.
Carlyle smoked often and com-
plained much of dyspepsia. A friend
once ventured to suggest that his
smoking might, perhaps, injure and
depress him. "Yes," the great
moralist said, "and the doctors told
me the same thing. I left off smok-
ing and was very miserable; so I took
to it again and was very miserable
still; but I thought it better to smoke
and be miserable than to be miser-
able and not smoke. " — Argonaut.
Cressey & Allen in Portland.
1914 — The following notes have
been sent to the "Orient" by the class
secretary: Miss Mary Helen Shank
of Chicago and Maurice Wingate
Hamblen were married August 25,
1920. Mrs. Ruth Jenkins Billings and
Paul Edwin Donahue were married in
Portland September 11, 1920. Frank
R. Loeffler, who has been connnected
with the International Banking Cor-
poration since 1914, is now sub-
manager of the Cebu Branch, Cebu,
P. I.
1916 — Miss Barbara Noyes French
and Lee Duren Pettengill were mar-
ried September 21 at Salem, Mass.
John D. Churchill '16 served as best
man.
1918 — Miss Ruth Dana Little,
daughter of Frank H. Little '81, and
Neil Eugene Daggett, were married
at Albany, N. Y., September 21.
1920 — Miss Verna Abbey and
Arthur Harold McQuillan were mar-
ried recently at Skowhegan. Mr. Mc-
Quillan plans to take a medical course
at McGill University this year.
1918 — Miss Dorothea M. Farrell and
Richard Turner Schlosberg were mar-
ried in Portland September 21., Mr.
Schlosberg has recently received the
commission of first lieutenant in the
regular army, and he will probably
be located at Camp Devens.
Robert Browning enjoyed telling
the story of an English friend, who,
while staying at one of the principal
hotels in Boston, was unable to sleep,
owing to the mysterious, doleful
noises that came from a room nearby.
Calling a boy, the Englishman asked
for the cause of the disturbance. "Oh,
sah!" was the lad's reply. "That is
the Browning Club just reading
Browning, sah. That is all, sah!"- —
Argonaut.
"So you are not living with your
son-in-law at Dinkey ville any more?"
"No; I rather got the idea that I
wasn't exactly welcome."
"How so?"
"Well, you see, he marched me to
the depot at the muzzle of a shot-
gun, kicked me seven times as I was
climbing on the car, and told me to
be sure to post him whenever my
funeral came off, as he was anxious
to attend. Somehow, I kinder thought
I wasn't wanted, and so came away."

BOWDOIN LOSES HARD BATTLE TO
TUFTS BY ONE LUCKY TOUCHDOWN
Morrell and Parent Dazzle Tufts Team With Series of Forwards — Bowdoin Runs
Rings Around the Winners Nearly All the Time— MorrelFs Punting Fine —
Bisson and Mason Strong.
Bowdoin upheld her reputation of
hard fighting in the second game of
the season, played with Tufts on the
Oval at Medford last Saturday. Tufts
came out the victor by the margin of
one lucky touchdown. The two teams
were evenly matched in weight, but
Bowdoin excelled in play.
In the first half Bowdoin continual-
ly plugged the line while Tufts in-
variably punted. Tufts scored her
touchdown in the third quarter when
Macchia gathered up a fumble by
Morrell and ran forty yards across
Bowdoin's goal. In the fourth period
Morrell and Parent worked a series
of forward passes which completely
bewildered the Tufts team, and which
carried the ball from Bowdoin's 30-
yard line past the Tufts goal line.
However, a penalty fo.r off-side was
imposed on Bowdoin in this play,
which left the ball two yards from the
line. Then the whistle sounded, end-
ing the game when it seemed certain
that Bowdoin would tie the score.
An article in- the "Boston Post"
gives a rather exaggerated idea of the
Bowdoin team's weight, but, in com-
parison with Tufts, we have a fairly
heavy team.
The "Post" says of the game: "Time
and again the game furnished thrills
for the large crowd as Bowdoin fought
to score on the light Tufts eleven.
Bowdoin outweighed Tufts 15 pounds
to a man, but what the Brown and
Blue lacked in weight they made up
in fight and speed, chasing the husky

ADDRESS BY
PRESIDENT SILLS
At the session of the Maine Feder-
ation of Women's Clubs in the Con-
gregational Church last Wednesday
afternoon, President Sills gave an ad-
dress on "Education in Maine." An
especially pleasing feature of the pro-
gram was the reading by Professor
Elliott of Longfellow's "Morituri
Salutamus" from the same pulpit
where the poet himself delivered the
memorable lines on his fiftieth anni-
versary in 1875.
The following excerpts have been
taken from President Sills' address:
There is another- way — a very vital
way — in which we can show an in-
telligent interest in our schools; and
it is the simple and homely way of
backing up the school authorities in
their efforts to maintain discipline
and decent standards of scholarship.
Occasionally, but very rarely, children
are overworked in our schools; on
the other hand very few schools
maintain the standard of work that
they should. An intelligent citizen
of Brunswick with whom I was dis-
cussing tlie problem recently said:
"The scholars' are just like everybody
else nowadays; they do about 60 per
cent, of what they should and they
allow anything at all to interfere with
their regular duties." That is no
doubt too serious an indictment; but

Proclamation Night.
Proclamation Night this year dif-
fered very little from the Proclama-
tion nights of past years, but to the
ever green Freshmen it is always a
night strange, fearful and mysterious.
A word dropped here and there about
the terrors of Phi Chi, had added to
their speculation about it, and be-
cause of its uncertainty, it was not a
night to be eagerly welcomed. This
year it came on Friday night, the first
one in the month of October, a night
the Class of 1924 will long remember.
By eight o'clock nearly all the
Freshmen assembled in the gym-
nasium and the ceremonies began.
With the aid of a large can of shellac
the proclamations were put on the
backs of the unclothed Freshmen — so
very sober and solemn that night —
for a smiling Freshman seemed to be
most distasteful to the Sophomores.
The proclamations were of the usual
order, reviling the incoming class, and
proclaiming the orders of Phi Chi to
them.
The Freshmen, now arrayed in
pajamas, were conducted to the base-
ball cage of the gymnasium. There
they were forced to form a huge
circle, each man kneeling and salaam-
ing "the august and all-powerful
Class of 1923" in the center of the
ring. This strange and ludicrous
scene continued for many minutes,
during which Cassidy '24 walked
around inside the circle reading aloud
the proclamation. After this various
134
BOWDOIN ORIENT
Freshmen were drawn from the circle
and put through droll stunts for the
amusement of the upper-classmen.
Some searched with their mouths for
dimes in pans of molasses or flour;
some, walking forwards and back-
wards, bowed to each other continual-
ly, thereby showing their apprecia-
tion of each other's greenness; and
others, strange to say, had pies
thrown at their faces by august mem-
bers of the learned class. One of the
most laughable things of the evening,
however, was the time when the whole
Freshman class, like Napoleon's army,
traveled around the floor on their
stomachs.
Then, following the old traditional
Bowdoin method of Freshman torture,
the Class of 1924 ran the gauntlet.
It is interesting to note that many of
the Sophomores who swung the clubs
the most wickedly were not those who
appeared at the flag rush the next
morning, when the Freshmen had a
chance to fight back. After this pun-
ishment the Freshmen were taken for
a walk about the campus, and, as the
Sophomores feared that the Fresh-
men had not had a godly evening in
their company, they forced the first
year men to sing "Nearer My God To
Thee," which also was a most ap-
propriate ending for a Phi Chi cele-
bration.
During the night a band of upper-
classmen very obligingly put up
posters showing the true feeling of
the Freshman class toward Phi Chi.
Although the candor of these posters
was rather blunt, they were, never-
theless, very sincere.
TUFTS WINS
FROM BOWDOIN
Bowdoin backs offside and tackling
them before they could get started.
"One of the biggest surprises of the
day was the style of football Coach
Dr. William Parks ordered for his
team. Tufts played old-fashioned
football against a heavier team and
played it well. The Maine backs met
with a stonewall when they tried to
gain through the Medford college line.
It was the game playing of the Tufts
line that prevented Bowdoin from
scoring when they had the ball on the
Tufts 5-yard line and a first down.
In three successive rushes the Black
and White eleven failed to gain more
than two yards and the ball went to
Tufts, who punted out of danger."
Bowdoin, of the three Maine col-
leges who tackled out of the state
teams, received the lightest defeat,
Maine losing to Harvard in a 41-0
walk away, while Bates was whipped
by New Hampshire State to the tune
of 14 to 0. As for Colby's victory
over Fort McKinley, little can be
prophesied, as the Army team was
admittedly suffering from a lack of
both training and practice.
Amherst, Bowdoin's rival next Sat-
urday, lost her game to Brown with a
score of 13-0 in a contest which
showed numerous weak spots and gen-
eral loose playing on the part of
Amherst. Now is Bowdoin's chance
to deliver a whipping to the Massa-
chusetts team this Saturday.
Although Bowdoin could not quite
get a touchdown over, Tufts never
had a look-in except when Macchia
ran down the field for the lone score
of the game. Morrell and Parent
worked several passes for long gains
particularly in the last quarter. Twice
Parent got away for runs of forty
or fifty yards after he had caught the
ball. On the average these plays
netted twenty yards or more.
All through the game Bowdoin had
little difficulty in gaining ground, ex-
cept when near the Tufts line. Then
the Medford line stiffened very much,
and Bowdoin failed to get across. The
White had Tufts' line almost off its
feet most of the time, although not
many advances could be made through
centre. The weights of the two
teams were about evenly matched, but
Bowdoin showed far more football
than the winners.
At the end of the first half, Smith
just barely missed a field goal, which
might have started considerably to-
wards changing the final result. In
the last quarter Bowdoin rushed the
ball twice to points within the 5-yard
line, before the Tufts defense could
tighten up at all.
As for individual playing, Parent
did by far the best work for Bow-
doin at end, while Bisson did excel-
lent work in the back-field until he
was injured (near the end of the third
quarter). MorrelPs punting was of
high order, his average distance be-
ing over forty yards. One punt car-
ried sixty yards beyond the Bowdoin
line to the enemy 5-yard mark. In
the line Mason broke through often
to throw the backs for losses.
Joe Smith played at quarter until
the last few minutes, when Woodbury
went in. The latter worked the for-
ward to Parent which would have been
a touchdown had it not been for a
Bowdoin man being .off-side.
On the whole, the game was very
satisfactory considering the prospect
before it began. It is the best show-
ing that Bowdoin has made against
Tufts for a long time, and although
it was a hard game to lose, after all,
it has made clear in spite of the
dubious outlook before the season
started that Bowdoin will put up a
strong battle for the championship in
the Maine series.

ADDRESS BY
PRESIDENT SILLS
(Continued from page 133)
it has always struck me as a singular
thing that we Americans who look
with pride on any man or woman who
is on the job have a singular toler-
ance for students who never study.
And I have heard more than one
teacher remark in dismayed tones
that as soon as she tries to set a high
standard parents and friends of the
boys and girls refuse to hold up her
hands and complain that she makes
her pupils work too hard. I have been
acquainted for some years with col-
lege boys in Maine, and I firmly be-
lieve that they will readily rise to any
fair and intelligent . standards that
have been set up. When our schools
and colleges are content with slip-
shod work it is almost invariably the
fault not of the students but of us
their elders. The principle of French
education, that you should go very
slowly with young children but that
from 14 to 21 you can hardly over-
work them, is essentially sound. Here
in Maine insistence on thorough work
and high standards is the crying need
of the hour. By all means adapt your
kind of education to individual needs;
but see to it that the standards,
whether in the classical studies or in
bookkeeping or in agriculture, are
made and kept high.
For the third representative of
Maine's contribution to American edu-
cation I have chosen one who is known
to many of you, and one who, I think,
without any question is the greatest
educational leader Maine has given to
the country — the late President Hyde
of Bowdoin. It is an interesting fact
that he was not trained for education
at all but for the Christian ministry.
That is the reason perhaps why all
his efforts in education had such a
firm foundation. He had the ideal
of Christian service always before
him. Although a Protestant of the
Protestants, he took for his formula
not the all too common modern teach-
ing "What the world owes me I must
get;" but the rule of the Third Order
of St. Francis of Assisi — "What I
owe the world I must give or do."
He laid great stress on duty, and
hence he set high standards for his
college and administered them fear-
lessly. His definition of the place of
the small college in our educational
system is a classic.
"For combining sound scholarship
with solid character; for making both
intellectually and spiritually free; for
uniting the spirit of truth with rever-
ence for duty, the small college open
to the worthy graduates of every good
high school, presenting a course suffi-
ciently rigid to give symmetrical de-
velopment and sufficiently elastic to
encourage individuality along con-
genial lines, taught by professors who
are men first and scholars afterwards,
governed by kindly personal influence
and secluded from too frequent con-
tact with social distractions, has a
mission which no change of educa-
tional conditions can take away and a
policy which no sentiment of vanity
or jealousy should be permitted to
turn aside." I wish that this definition
might be more widely known and
more carefully studied by all who
have the interest of higher education
at heart. With justice, President
Hyde was more widely known through
his teaching and his books than has
been any other educator from Maine;
and his life and career here are one
of the great assets of the state. And
yet so little is the popular regard for
education that this very year when
the Maine Centennial committee is-
sued a pamphlet in which was included
a list of Maine's famous men there
was no mention of President Hyde,
nor of any other man prominent in
education. This leads one to wonder
again if all the professions we hear
of deep interest in education are sin-
cere.
Finally, may I make a special plea
for our colleges ? We have in this
state in addition to the University of
Maine, Bates, Bowdoin and Colby. The
university must be more adequately
supported by the state; and every
citizen of Maine ought to be in-
terested in securing larger appropria-
tions. The three independent colleges
also need the support, sympathetic
and financial, of all the people of
Maine. While it is true that the
population of Maine has increased but
little, the college population has in-
creased much, and there is room and
to spare for all these institutions. It
is, I think, a happy situation that we
have the State University immediate-
ly responsive to the people's needs,
and the three other colleges standing
for a liberal education, thus offering
to the boys and girls of Maine abund-
ant opportunity. I should like to sug-
gest that we people of Maine have a
very special responsibility toward our
own institutions. A college is, to use
a legal term, a quasi public corpor-
ation. It exists to help boys and girls
to become better citizens. And it
cannot do the work it should unless
it has back of it the hearty support
of the public. All of us can do some-
thing; people of means can do much.
In these days when there are so many
institutions that admirably serve the
public a wealthy man or woman who
makes in wills or otherwise no con-
tributions to colleges, or hospitals, or
libraries, or churches, is not only a
false steward of wealth but increases
the social restlessness of the times.
Any wealthy man dying who leaves
nothing to the public whence his
wealth came multiplies the number of
Radicals and Socialists.
RECEPTION IN

The Saturday Club of Brunswick
gave a reception to the ladies of the
Maine Federation of Women's Clubs
Tuesday evening of last week in the
Walker Art Building. The rooms were
unusually attractive with Oriental

Fully a hundred people, the majority
of whom were from other parts of the
state, were present.
In the Sculpture Hall the guests
were received by Mrs. Ernest L. Craw-
ford, president of the Saturday Club;
Mrs. William E. Brewster of Dexter,
president of the Maine Federation;
Mrs. E. C. Carll of Augusta, first vice-

BOWDOIN ORIENT
1923 WINS ANNUAL INTERCLASS
BASEBALL GAME AND FLAG RUSH
Ball Game Slow and Uninteresting — Twenty Errors, Five Hits, Plenty of
Bone Plays— Hits By Needelman, Hill, and Wing Features.
In the annual Freshman-Sophomore
game last Saturday, on the Whittier
Field, the 1923 team won out 12 to 4.
The game was very poorly played, as
out of the sixteen runs scored, only
three were brought in by hits, all the
rest being due to errors and poor
playing.
The first runs of the game were
scored by the Sophomores in the first
inning. Two bases on balls, numer-
ous fumbles, wild throws, and boners,
let four men across the plate in rapid
succession. The losers put a run
across in the third inning, when John-
son walked, took second when Whit-
man fizzled PettingilFs grounder, and
scored on a clean hit to right by Sell-
man.
The Sophomores came back in their
half when Hill opened up with a
steaming liner to right centre, good
for three bases. He scored on a wild
pitch, and then two more runs were
accumulated, chiefly on account of
Pettingill's wild throw over Sellman's
head.
Each side scored once in the fourth,
although errors were entirely re-
sponsible. In the fifth Needelman,
brother of this year's baseball cap-
tain, pounded a triple over Swingle-
hurst's head in left, with two on the
bases. These two runs were the last
that the Freshmen got. For the
Sophomores in their half, Wing led
off with a double, and a number of
subsequent errors let in four more
runs for the winners.
Neither side scored in the sixth, al-
though Handy opened up for the
Sophomores with a single, the third
hit for his team. The listless game
was at last called off after the first
half of the seventh, with the Sopho-
mores eight runs to the good. The
best play of the game was made by
Pettingill '24 in the first inning when
he ran over beyond the jumping pit
and caught Hill's foul fly.
Coach Ben Houser of the Varsity
team came down for this week to see
both from the game and from the
practice beforehand if there was any
likely material in the incoming class.
For the first time in years no player
was kept out of the game as a result
of abduction the night before, in spite
of the fact that upperclassmen and
Sophomores made several attempts to
carry away some of the players.
There were some highly disgruntled
Sophs when Clavin was released with-
out the semblance of a fight.
Following is a summary of the

This year for the annual flag-rush
two poles, each ten feet high, had
been set up instead of one. For some
time both classes struggled without
either one being able to gain the least
advantage. Many men started up the
poles, only to be instantly pulled down
and thrown out of the ring of fighters.
Finally, two Freshman pushed Miguel
through the air and he, hitting the
top of the pole grabbed the 1923 flag
and in another minute, was the center
of a pile of writhing men. Soon the
other flag was torn down by Love
'23. The struggle, however, did not
lessen but rather increased. Even
when the whistle blew, both" classes
fought on, so that when at last they
were separated, it was difficult to tell
who had won.
Miguel kept hold of the 1923 flag
until time was called, but with four
Sophomores having their hands on it
also, the torn penant was awarded
to 1923. No decision was made on the
other flag as there was a possibility
that it had been carried from the field
during the struggle.
Both classes, after the rush, made
for the chapel, but before they
reached it the bell began to ring. For
a long time Black '23 had been wait-
ing inside and now he rang and rang
for a victory which seemed to have
been a draw. Even though the out-
come was doubtful, it was a very sat-
isfying scrap. On the Delta lay torn
sweaters, ripped- sweat-shirts, and
shreds of B. V. D.'s.
Bowdoin Second
Loses To Thornton
Academy Team Outclasses the Visi-
tors— Mahaney Stars At Full For
Winners — Wagg and R. B. Phillips
Strong for Bowdoin.
On a wretched field Thornton Acad-
emy trimmed the Bowdoin Second
team at Biddeford last Saturday by a
count of 13 to 0. There were few
plays except straight football. The
comparatively large crowd of fans
were surprised at the strength of the
Academy eleven, which was quite
strong on the defense and which
could gain considerably through Bow-
doin's line.
Captain Mahaney was the individ-
ual star of the contest, making gain
after gain for his school. The rest
of his team was entirely out of his
class. Both Thornton's touchdowns
were scored in the third quarter, one
by Cole, and the other by Vinton. The
BOWDOIN ORIENT
first of these two touchdowns came as
a result of two costly Bowdoin fum-
bles. Later when Bowdoin had the
ball near its own goal line, Tootell
punted a short distance, and the kick
was run back almost to a touchdown,
and the score came immediately after-
wards.
Although Thornton's scores were
rather fluky in themselves, there was
little doubt that the Bowdoin team
was somewhat outclassed on all-
around play. The winners failed to
complete a single forward at any time
during the game. Three times they
tried the spread eagle formation, and
each time the play resulted in an in-
tercepted forward pass.
Bowdoin worked several forwards,
and one play gained twenty or thirty
yards. Wagg played a fine game in
the line while Badger and Burgess
also played well. R. B. Phillips, in
the short time that he was in the
game, performed better than any of
the other backfield men. Tootell and
Cole had to leave the game in the
third quarter for minor injuries.
There were very few penalties. At
one time, when Bowdoin had carried
the ball within the 5-yard line, the
team was set back a couple yards for
delaying the game, after which the
ball was lost on downs.

GIFT FROM FRANK
A. MUNSEY, LL.D.
Those of us who heard the poet and
lecturer, Hamlin Garland, last year,
remember his telling us of Theodore
Roosevelt's keen sense of apprecia-
tion for newly discovered things and
peoples. His appreciation of Mr. Ed-
ward S. Curtis that he gives us in
his foreword to Mr. Curtis's "The
North American Indian," is notable.
This work, in twenty volumes and
twenty portfolios, half of which have
been recently received by the Bow-
doin Library, is a gift from Frank A.
Munsey, LL.D. Edited by Frederick
Webb Hodge, noted for his ethnolo-
gical and archaeological expeditions
in the Southwest, this work was made
possible by the patronage of J. Pier-
pont Morgan. Mr. Curtis, official
photographer for the E. H. Harriman
expedition to Alaska in 1898, has, in
the words of Roosevelt, "because of
the singular combination of qualities
with which he has been blest, and be-
cause of his extraordinary success in
making and using his opportunities,
been able to do what no other man has
ever done; what, as far as we can see,
no other man could do." "All serious
students are to be congratulated," he
continues, "because he is putting his
work in permanent form; for our gen-
eration offers the last chance for do-
ing what Mr. Curtis has done. A vivid
and truthful record of that strange
spiritual and mental life of the North
American Indian; from whose inner-
most recesses all white men are for-
ever barred."
The many remarkable sepia illus-
trations, portraying the actual and
intimate life of the Indian, are no less
distinguished than the record itself.
Thoughts come to one of what pic-
turesque use Longfellow might have
made of this poetic material.
Change in Day for
Fraternity Initiations
After a canvass of the student body
and several alumni, and a conference
with the faculty, the Student Council
has named Saturday night, October
16, as the date for the fraternity initi-
ations. It will be remembered that
these initiations for some years have
taken place on a Wednesday night,
corresponding this year to October 13.
The reasons for making the initi-
ations this year a week-end rather
than a mid-week affair are these:
First, many more alumni can get
back. Instead of being able to stay
only twelve hours they can stay for
two days. The football game with
Trinity on Saturday will serve as a
further drawing card.
Second, this added number of Bow-
doin men back will make for gradu-
ates and undergraduates alike a
great week-end. A rousing rally on
Friday night, big attendance at the
game Saturday afternoon, and in-
spiring initiations that night.
The advantages of this change
from the mid-week occasion to the
week-end seem so marked that no
doubt is felt as to its success.

Rumor has it that the Republican
Club requires all new members to
take the following oath: "I pledge
allegiance to this flag and to the Re-
publicans for which it stands."
BAND MEETING
On Tuesday evening, September 28,
the first meeting of the Bowdoin Band
was held. There were more than
twenty men out and there is every
indication that this year's band will
be the largest that Bowdoin ever had.
Upper Memorial Hall will be used
as the permanent band room, although
the night for regular practice has not
yet been decided upon.
Among the men who turned out for
the meeting were M. P. Chandler '23,
Clymer '22, Butler '23, F. P. Bishop '24
Fish '22, Love '23, Mallett '23, Mc-
Lellan '23, McLellan '21, Norton '22,
Orr '22, S. Smith '23, Staples '23,
Stetson '21, Woodbury '22, R. B. Phil-
lips '24, Turgeon, '23, and Robinson
'23.
I wonder if the Freshman who sat
in the Senior forms in Chapel the
other morning thought he had better
take advantage of his opportunity.

The Bowdoin "Hello."
It is none too early to remind Bow-
doin men, and especially the Fresh-
men, of the time-honored Bowdoin
"hello." As an expression of Bow-
doin's boasted democracy and of the
spirit of good feeling prevalent among
the members of the student body, it
is customary for one student to greet
another with a hearty "hello."
This "hello" is all the more satis-
factory if coupled with the first name
or nickname of the person to whom
it is addressed. One of the most
salient advantages of the small col-
lege is the opportunity to know in-
stantly everybody connected with the
institution. Take advantage of this
opportunity and show that you realize
its value.
While Freshman "discipline" en-
courages more or less restraint on
the part of the underclassman in the
matter of the "hello," the Freshman
is urged to speak first. "Snap out
of it" Freshmen, speak to men on
the campus and learn their names.
The most disagreeable person is the
one who stands up for somebody you
want to talk about. — Life.
The Late Dr. Thomas Upham Coe '57, from a photograph sent to the
"Orient" by his class-mate, Rev. Samuel B. Stewart.
Possible Changes in
Cross-Country Course
In last Sunday's "Portland Tele-
gram" was the following regarding
the state cross-country race to be held
here November 5:
"While it is pretty early to forecast
prospects in the Maine colleges, it is
expected that the meet will be a fast
one. Reports from the different col-
leges indicate that they have had har-
riers out on the courses for a week
or two in preparation for the State
meet. The Bowdoin management is
contemplating changing the Bowdoin
course so as to take in more hills and
making it a more hill and dale course,
rather than to run on level ground all
the time.
"It is understood that practically all
the cross-country runners who com-
peted in the State meet last fall at
Waterville will be seen in action this
fall, together with several new men.
The three stars of last year's meet,
Raymond of Maine, R. B. Buker of
Bates, and Goodwin of Bowdoin, who
finished in the order named, will face
each other again and will battle for
first place."
Registration Figures
Compared with that of last year,
this year's registration shows a
marked decrease in the total number
of students attending college. The
number registered for academic
courses this year is 400, while last
year's total was 456. A glance at the
registrar's figures is explanatory. As
was the case last year, the Junior
class is in the minority, having only
85 members as compared with the 88
registered Seniors, while the Sopho-
more and Freshman classes are near-
ly equal with 105 and 113 respective-
ly. The nine special students, three
first year men, and six in the second

year, complete the number. A com-
parative table for last year and this
follows :

MEN WANTED FOR
PUBLISHING CO.
At the present time there is great
need for more candidates for the Pub-
lishing Co., several men having
dropped out from the competition. The
Publishing Co. handles and is respon-
sible for the business end of the
"Orient" and "Quill." This means
time and work. It is our aim to get
both papers out on time, but if we
are handicapped for help and the sev-
eral fraternities refuse to co-operate
with us, to the extent of sending out
candidates for the assistant manager-
ships, we of course cannot do our part
as we would like and the papers are
consequently late in delivery.
As all upperclassmen know, men
start competition in April of Fresh-
man year, working until April of
Sophomore year. At this time two
men are elected assistant managers.
These men compete until April of
Junior year at which time one is
elected business manager, his term
running through Senior year up to
April. This managership does not
carry with it the prestige on the
Campus of an athletic managership,
but it does give very valuable business
experience, and furthermore is the
only paid managership in college and
means a place on the Board of Man-
agers.
At the present time men are
wanted from the Sophomore class to
work as candidates for assistant man-
agerships until next April. Report to
Boardman at the Psi U. House or
Brewer at the D.K.E. House.

SELECTION OF
COMMENCEMENT
SPEAKERS
The faculty in its meeting of Sep-
tember 27 abolished the antiquated
and for the seniors, at least, unsatis-
factory method of selecting the Com-
mencement speakers, which has been
in force now for so many years.
The new method which is now in
force is based on the report of a
special committee consisting of Pro-
fessors Van Cleve, Ham, and Mitchell,
and reads as follows:
"Within the first week of the sec-
ond semester, the Faculty Committee
headed by the President, shall desig-
nate six members of the Senior class
as provisional Commencement speak-
ers.
"The basis of selection shall be:
"(a) Good scholastic record;
(b) Ability to think and write
clearly, as shown by the entire col-
legiate record, rather than by com-
petitive exercises.
"The speakers, with such faculty
advice as they may desire, shall pro-
ceed immediately to the selection of
their subjects and to the preparation
of Commencement parts.
"Each speaker shall submit to the
President, by March 20, a tentative
draft of his part, and from these
drafts, four shall be chosen as Com-
mencement speakers.
"Each speaker shall submit to the
President, not later than June 10,
three unsigned, typewritten copies of
his finished part.
"The President shall forward these
copies to each of the three judges
to be chosen by him from the Board
of Overseers and Trustees of the Col-
lege. •
"These same judges shall hear the
presentation of the parts on Com-
mencement Day, and immediately
shall decide, in consultation, the win-
ner of the Goodwin Commencement
Prize."

MEDICAL SCHOOL
The entering class of the Bowdoin
Medical School is moderately large
this year, consisting of about thirty
students. The majority of the class
came from Maine, but there are some
students from other parts of the
country.
The enrolment for the coming year
in the Medical School is slightly
larger than it was for the preceding
year. Twenty-six have already been
admitted to the Freshman class and
one to the Sophomore class, while last
year the complete registration for the
Freshman class was only twenty.
This year the total number of the
Freshman class is likely to reach
thirty before registration closes. Dr.
Whittier expects a very successful
year at the Medical School.

Campus JSotes
At the Student Council meeting of
September 27 it was decided to order
the Freshman caps immediately.
Holmes '21 and Flinn '22 were chosen
umpires for the Freshman-Sophomore
baseball series. October 16 was fixed
upon as the date of the fraternity
initiations.
Kirkpatrick '24 tore the ligaments
of his left wrist during football prac-
tice last week.
Berry '20, Goodrich '20, Ellms '20,
Leach '20, Low '20, and Jones '20
have been on the Campus recently.
Physical examinations have been
held every evening in the gymnasium
until this week. The results will be
ready for publication soon.
The first call for musical club can-
didates was issued last week. Fresh-
men were to report Monday and
Tuesday of this week, while upper-
classmen will have a chance to try
out in the near future.
Beginning this week it is possible to
make up gymnasium cuts left over
from last year, every week-day from
4.30 to 5.30.
The following lines appeared in
Wednesday's "Lewiston Journal" con-
cerning the reception to the Feder-
ation of Women's Clubs in the Art
Building: "To add to the pleasure
of the evening there were present all
members of the Bowdoin faculty,
whose dress suits made a delightful
foil for the gowns of the club women.
It is to be doubted if any part of the
evening was more enjoyed by the
party than these chats with the jolly
college professors."
On Tuesday, September 28, the
Freshman class held its first meeting
under the supervision of John G.
Young, president of the student coun-
cil. The officers elected were as fol-
lows: President, E. Alfred Beals;
vice-president, Brooks E. Savage; sec-
retary and treasurer, Thornton L. C.
Burnell; manager of the Freshman
baseball team, James M. Keniston.
There is still a good chance for any
Freshman to start coming out for the
"Orient" by getting an assignment
this week as soon as possible for the
next issue. At present there are
eight candidates out: Cassidy, Theta
Delt; Chamberlain, Deke; Davis, Psi
U; Klees, Theta Delt; MacKinnon,
Alpha Delt; Rowe, Kappa Sig; Smith,
Zete; and Smythe, Beta.
In the "Springfield Republican" for
October 1 there was a communication

A call has been issued by the man-
ager of the Masque and Gown for as-
sistants from the Class of 1924. Those
who are interested in dramatics or
the work of a manager should report
to Philbrick '23.
Wednesday night the Freshmen re-
ceived a gentle warning of what to do
and especially what not to do if they
value life, liberty, and *he pursuit of
happiness.
The recent rainj season has
brought home to the new men the
reason why rubber boots are a part
of every Bowdoin man's equipment.
Among the alumni who have visited
the campus recently are Philbrick '17,
Shumway '17, C. S. Houston '20,
Rhoads '20, and French ex- '21.
B. H. M. White ex-'21, has returned
to college this fall and is entering the
Class of 1922.
All men who want outside work
should fill out application blanks at
the office of the Y. M. C. A., 7 South
Maine, at once. All kinds of work
will be available soon, and the "Y"
will try to keep busy all men who
make application. The kinds of work
include: Tending furnaces, raking
leaves, washing windows, beating
rugs and shoveling snow; also some
office work, clerking, and work for
skilled men.
Freshman Bibles are now being sold
at 7 South Maine Hall for a dollar

In the "Lewiston Journal" for Mon-
day, September 27, the report of the
selection of the Rhodes Scholar for
next year contained some highly com-
plimentary paragraphs concerning
Bowdoin's candidates, Helson and
Thomson.
By vote of the Recording Commit-
tee beginning with the present Senior
Class, a fee of one dollar will be
charged for all transcripts of records
after the first such transcript.
A call has come for counsellors for
summer work in Maine camps dur-
ing the summer of 1921. All men in-
terested should leave their names at
once at the Dean's office.
Candidates for the Chapel Quartette
are requested to see or telephone Pro-
fessor Wass within the next ten days.
As the "Orient" goes to press, the
following freshmen have registered as
candidates for assistant track man-
ager: Pike, Psi U; Whalen, A. D.;
and Johnson, Kappa Sig.
The Library has recently received
twenty-four cases of books in memory
of Freeman Milliken Short '01, given
by his mother. The cases have not
yet been opened so that no description
of their contents can appear in this
number. Additional consignments
are expected shortly by the Library.
A representative of the General
Electric Company will be in Bruns-
wick, October 18, to talk with men of
the Senior class who may be interested
in that business. Those interested
are advised to leave their names at
the Dean's office and to call there on
Monday morning, October 18, to see
this representative.
The sedate students of Bowdoin
were handed a jolt in their artistic
sense the other afternoon when a
Freshman, clad in a colorful combi-
nation of green sweater, purple run-
ning shorts, and vivid tan socks,
escorted a lady, presumably his
mother, across the campus. Origi-
nality counts, '24!
The usual pre-initiation "cere-
monies" started early in the week
when the Freshman delegation from
Zeta Psi appeared with bells a-tinkle.
Somewhat later the other delegations
bloomed with pop-guns, drums, fancy
paper hats, collars, and ties reversed
and toy carts containing small
"Dinahs."
jFacultp l3otes
In connection with the educational
rallies which are being held through-
out the state, Dean Nixon spoke in
Portland last Saturday, and Presi-
dent Sills in Bath Monday. President
Sills spoke again Tuesday at Wis-
cassett.
During the last week President
Sills has been holding conferences
with both Union men and mill owners,
in the hopes of arranging an agree-
ment in the matter of the Cabot Mill
strike. In last week's "Brunswick
Record" President Sills discussed the
conditions which have caused a shut-
down for so long a period, and also
offered important suggestions, which
it is hoped will bring about a satis-
factory settlement of the controversy.
President Sills has taken the class
in Latin 1 and will probably continue
to teach it during the first semester.
Dean Nixon will resume the instruc-
tion of the class at the opening of
the second semester.
Professor Hormell gave an address
on political parties and popular gov-
ernment before the Civics Study Class
of the Woman's Literary Union of
Portland Monday evening.
Dean Nixon will speak to the York
and Cumberland Teachers' Association
at Portland, October 2, on "Certain
Aspects of the Study of Latin."
alumni Department
The "Orient" desires to be of the
greatest possible service to Alumni in
keeping them informed of one an-
other's activities. Alumni, and
especially class secretaries, are ear-
nestly requested to support the
"Orient" in this work by sending items
about themselves or their brother
Alumni.
1891 — Dr. Bertrand D. Ridlon has
been commissioned a major surgeon in
the regular army and is now on duty
in Boston.
1898— Mr. Reuel W. Smith of Au-
burn, one of the founders of the Alpha
Rho chapter of Kappa Sigma, was a
visitor at the college Wednesday.
1906— Dr. Edville G. Abbott, lect-
urer on orthopedic surgery in the
Medical School, who is at present in
France, will read a paper before the
French Orthopedic Association Fri-
day, October 8.
1909 — Harrison Atwood, who has
been working for the H. K. McCann
Company in San Francisco, has re-
cently been transferred to New York
City.
1912 — Miss Jessie Ada Higgins and
Maurice Pierce Hill were married at
Hope, Maine, on September 6.
1917 — Miss Dorothy Prince Chester
and Dr. Sidney Collingwood Dalrym-
ple were married September 28 at
Brookline, Mass. Dr. Dalrymple has
been recently appointed assistant
pathologist at the Newton Hospital.
Ex-1918— Miss Kathryn Bella Red-
way and Charles Denison Brown will
be married at Lowell, Mass., on Oc-
tober 16.
1919 — William Angus is teaching at
Dummer Academy, Mass.
Inasmuch as the Alumni have ex-
pressed a wish to see up-to-date notes
concerning the occupation and where-
abouts of as many of their number as
possible, the "Orient" plans to pub-
lish a series of class notes in this
column during the coming year.
Class of 1867.
Six members of the class are
alive — Melvin F. Arey, Oren Cobb,
George P. Davenport, Richard G. Mer-
riman, Stephen M. Newman, and Fred-
eric K. Smyth. Four of the class re-
turned to Brunswick for their fiftieth
anniversary in 1917 — Arey, Daven-
port, Newman, and Stanley A. Plum-
mer, who died February 12, 1919. Mr.
Davenport has been at every Com-
mencement since his graduation. Mr.
Arey is now a professor in the State
Normal School at Cedar Falls, Iowa.
Mr. Cobb is an author in New York
City. Mr. Davenport, who is an over-
seer of the college, is a banker in
Bath. Mr. Merriman is a teacher and
lumberman in North Fork, Calif., ac-
cording to the last that has been
heard from him. Dr. Newman has
been president of Kee Mar College,
Hagerstown, Maryland, since 1909.
Mr. Smyth has been engaged in fruit
growing at Napa, Calif., since 1892.
Class of 1870.
Eleven members of the class are
still living. Of this number eight were
present at the fiftieth anniversary last
June. They celebrated quietly with a
dinner at New Meadows Inn, had a
class picture taken on the Chapel
steps, and attended the President's
reception in a body. At the Com-
142
BOWDOIN ORIENT
mencement dinner Dr. DeAlva S. Alex-
ander spoke for the class. It is in-
teresting to note that of the original
thirty members of the class only eight
died under sixty, while over fifty per
cent, have lived more than the al-
lotted three score years and ten. All
were in professional work. Of the
nine Phi Beta Kappa men three sur-
vive.
The class now consists of the fol-
lowing. DeAlva S. Alexander, LL.D.,
of Buffalo; Albert J. Curtis of Bruns-
wick; Orville B. Grant of Greenup,
111.; George W. Hobson of Lowell,
Mass.; Lucien Howe, Sc.D., of Buffalo;
Caleb A. Page of Methuen, Mass.; E.
Pulton Redman of Dorchester, Mass.;
James A. Roberts, LL.D., of New York
■City; Davis T. Timberlake of Lan-
caster, N. H.; Alonzo G. Whitman of
Melrose, Mass.; and Edwin C. Wood-
ward of Colorado Springs, Col.
Class of 1871.
There are five members left of this
class.
Edmund C. Cole has spent his life
at Warner, N. H., where he has served
as principal of the high school, editor
of a paper, Justice of the Police Court,
and Representative to the Legislature.
James F. Chaney, after several
years of farming in Florida and min-
ing in Colorado, has settled in Bruns-
wick and engaged in the coal busi-

MINUS SEVERAL FIRST STRING PLAYERS
BOWDOIN LOSES TO AMHERST
13-0
Bowdoin Outclassed in First Half Comes Back In Third Quarter — Ball
Twice Carried to Amherst's Five-Yard Line — Several Forwards
Gain Many Yards For Bowdoin — A. Morrell's
Punting of High Order Again.
Under a boiling sun Amherst
triumphed over Bowdoin by a score of
13-0 on Pratt Field last Saturday.
The Amherst team showed a great im-
provement over last week in its of-
fense and was held for downs rarely
throughout the game. On account of
injuries received last week several of
the Bowdoin first string players were
unable to play and thus Bowdoin
could not show much improvement in
the offense.
The first quarter opened with Bow-
doin receiving. The White soon
punted and on Amherst's second play,
Brisk made 25 yards around end.
However, on the next play, Bowdoin
got a touchback after a fumble by
Amherst, and the ball went to the 20-
yard line. Bowdoin punted again, and
Amherst was penalized twenty yards
for hurdling. Zink made a long for-
ward pass which Davidson caught on
the 5-yard line and took over for the
first score. Zink kicked the goal.
The second touchdown came in the
second quarter after a series of gains
made by continual line plugging by
Brisk, Card, and Murnane. Brisk was
the man to carry the ball over, but
Zink failed in his try for goal.
After this score the Amherst offen-
sive was not very much in evidence,
as Bowdoin came back strong in the
second half. Amherst hardly ever
had the ball in Bowdoin's territory the
rest of the game, while on the con-
trary Bowdoin was continually on the
offensive. Twice within the third
quarter Bowdoin marched down to

Bowdoin's Strong Men.
Results of the strength tests given
as a part of the physical examina-
tions at Bowdoin College, have been
announced by Dr. F. N. Whittier,
professor of hygiene and physical
training. Tests were given to all
Freshmen and to all members of the
three upper classes who were to take
part in athletics.
Bowdoin's strong man this year is
Glenn V. Butler '23 of Farmington,
Me. His total strength is figured at
1120.8 kilograms, the equivalent of
2363.6 pounds in weight. Butler is a
member of the college track squad,
having won a place in last year's
Bates Dual Meet. He is also a mem-
ber of his class baseball team.
The second strongest man in col-
lege is Rupert G. Johnson '24, of
Brownfield, Me., who has a total of
1011.38 kilgrams, or 2123.7 pounds.
Third in strength is Waldo R. Flinn
'22 of Island Falls, Me., with a mark
of 990.14 kilograms, equal to 2079.3
pounds.
Last year's records show that
Myron W. Sprague '20, set the highest
mark at 1027.3 kilograms, while Ellms
'20, and Albert '23 took second and
third honors respectively.
The highest record for the strength
tests at Bowdoin is held by Edward R.
Godfrey of Bangor, Me., Class of '99,
who smashed not only the college
record, but also the record of all the

IBIS MEETING
The Ibis Club held its first meet-
ing of the year at the Delta Upsilon
house Friday evening and formulated
plans for the coming year. It is
planned to hold meetings every two
weeks at which literary topics of in-.
terest will be presented and discussed
by members of the faculty and others
who may participate from time to
time. Arrangements are being made
for a speaker to address an open
meeting of the Ibis in the near future.
Two new members were elected and
will be initiated at the next meeting
of the club which will be held at the
Sigma Nu house, Friday, October 22.
At the above meeting an interesting
talk was given by Morse '21 on the
poet, Louis Untermeyer, and several
of the poet's poems were read in a
charming manner. The discussion of
this author was particularly of inter-
est because of the reader's acquaint-
ance with him. During the evening
refreshments were served, helping to
diversify the evening's program, and
when the meeting finally adjourned,
it was voted one of the . best of its
kind ever spent at Bowdoin.
First Y. M. C. A. Meeting
Last Friday night the Y. M. C. A.
held its first meeting of the year,
when Fay Campbell, Yale '18, ad-
dressed a number of students as-
sembled in Hubbard Hall. Mr. Camp-
bell spoke on the choosing of a life
work and in particular of his own
choice. McGown '21 presided over the
meeting.
PAYMENT OF TUITION.
As recently announced, fifty dollars
of the annual tuition fee must be paid
before November 1; fifty more before
March 1; and the balance with pay-
ment of the June term-bill.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
AMHERST WINS 13-0
(Continued from page 149)
Amherst's 5-yard line, only to be held
on downs at the last minute. A num-
ber of successful forwards helped ma-
terially in Bowdoin's gains. Some of
them were from A. Morrell to Smith,
and others from Smith to Mason.
At one time Morrell threw a long
pass for Parent, but Amherst inter-
fered with the Bowdoin end when he
had a touchdown practically assured.
The pass carried about forty yards,
and Amherst was penalized ten yards
more for the interference.
Dahlgren, Bisson, and McCurdy
were the three important losses to
the team for this game. Captain
Dudgeon moved over from guard to
centre in place of McCurdy. In the
backfleld, M. E. Morrell '24 showed up
very well for his first start this sea-
son. He played an excellent de-
fensive game.
For Amherst, Card, Brisk, and Zink
proved to be the best ground gainers.
Smith and A. Morrell played well for
Bowdoin, the latter's punting being
a strong factor in Bowdoin's play. His
punts carried fifty yards on the' aver-
age.
In another column of this issue of
the "Orient" are first-hand facts con-
cerning the Bowdoin team alone. It
is interesting here to note that Maine
and Bates were easily defeated by
teams not especially strong, while
Colby did not play. The Massachu-
setts Aggies are not thought to have
as good a team as Amherst, and they
beat Bates with ease. Although
Maine by a fluke got the jump on
Brown, the Providence team had no
trouble in accumulating five touch-
downs.
As for the Trinity game, that
ought to be a close battle, since both
Bowdoin and Trinity had the same
scores with Amherst. Wesleyan beat
Trinity 20 to 0 last Saturday, so ap-
parently Trinity has made no par-
ticular improvement.

THE 1920 FOOT-
BALL SITUATION
By Coach Greene.
A college football team is a part
of the student body, consequently the
students should be back of the team
and in close touch with it. It is de-
plorable that secret practise is neces-
sary for it keeps the team isolated
from its backers. However, we all
know that it is necessary for we must
perfect a machine by keeping our
style of play from our opponents.
You have a right to know your
team is progressing and what chance
it has of producing. The purpose of
this article is to put you in touch
with the situation.
Most of you know that the ma-
terial is light and inexperienced. In
fact Bowdoin will be represented by
the lightest team in eight years. Ten
letter men graduated and two others
are not out for the team for other
reasons. Only four letter men are on
the squad and the remainder of the
first string men must be developed and
injected into the machine. This
means that a large part of the avail-
able time must be spent on funda-
mentals before advanced team work
can be perfected.
Our material is not composed of
prep school stars. This is due prin-
cipally to the high standard of the
College. Consequently, the players
must be developed from men who
have very little football experience
but who have as their stock in trade,
red blood and fight. Many of the
candidates are upper-classmen who
are new to the squad. They were in-
experienced men when the season
opened.
Despite handicaps the team is im-
proving in condition, fight, and in its
knowledge of the game. If this fight
is sufficiently developed nothing is im-
possible, for a fighting team is a
tough proposition for experienced
l: ams of greater weight.
If we are to succeed, we must out-
fight our opponents. To attain a real
fighting team, several things are
necessary, as follows:
1. Training of the highest type.
2. Attention to instructions.
3. Keeping our football secrets in
the squad.
4. Promptness and thoroughness in
our routine work.
5. Backing, of student body. .
6. By frowning on tampering with
squad by people who are not in touch
with the situation.
7. Untiring work of management
and coaching staff.
If the above points are worked out
properly, we should place a good
team on the field; and we will all
know that we have done our best.
We will now consider the various
points, and see where we are falling
down; then see what we can do to im-
prove the situation.
1. The members of the squad should
be a little more careful of training
rules. The men should be in bed
early to store up reserve energy, and
they should also eat a proper amount
regularly and keep away from junk
between meals.
The first team can only be success-
ful if we maintain a good second
team. Some men on the second team
realize that they have no chance this
season, but they are real fighters so
they give the best they have. The
men with the real ability sometimes
fall behind them in this respect. Thus
far this season some sixty men have
signed up for football. We have
never had over forty men at one time.
At present our squad numbers forty.
Fourteen men have quit after one day
or after a week or more. On account
of desertion and injuries we have only
about twenty-four men per day fit for
practise. To produce we must have a
squad of at least thirty men in con-
dition to play every day.
2. When practise is on we should
have no visiting by men of the squad.
Unless strict attention is paid some
valuable point will be missed and it
may be fatal in one of the big games.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
151
3. Men of the football squad must
not spread information either around
fraternities, at home, or outside, con-
cerning injuries, good and bad points
of various men or matters pertaining
to the system of play.
4. Some members of the squad are
late to practise and the same men do
not execute their part in a play. This
is a serious drawback to our success.
5. Some of the new men are apt
to be influenced by outsiders unless
they are warned. Avoid the busy
body who tells you that things are
going wrong and that he would do so
and so. If you have any brains you
must realize that, unless one is in
touch with you every day he cannot
tell how to develop you into a ma-
chine. Avoid people of this nature,
for they are only trying to disrupt
your team. Some of the townspeople
who have business on the campus are
offenders in this respect. Treat them
with contempt, for they are not your
real friends.
6. The student body can have a big
part in the success or failure of the
team. Public opinion is a big feature.
If you by your actions make mani-
fest how little regard you have for
people that should be out for foot-
ball and who either didn't go out or
who quit after a short time, you will
help a lot in straightening out that
phase of the situation.
You can also, by refusing to listen
or by direct action, do away with the
disturbing element. This matter
would be of small moment, if the
propaganda did not work on freshmen
who are inexperienced.
You can also assist by keeping the
fraternity houses quiet the night be-
fore a big game so that the men can
sleep. And also by not talking foot-
ball to them from Friday noons until
after Saturday's game. We do not
talk football from Friday's practise
until the game commences.
If you do not do these things, you
have no right to criticise the team,
for you are falling down on your por-
tion of the job. And if every one
does his best we cannot kick, win or
lose.
7. If we know that you are with
the team and that you realize that
the management and the coaching
staff are trying to put over a winner,
I am sure that you will find that we
are able on our part to do our best
and that Bowdoin will be represented
by a fast, hard fighting football team.
In addition to the "dope" given out
by Coach Greene, we have the fol-
lowing from Trinity regarding the
game next Saturday:
Trinity expects to dispose of Bow-
doin only after a hard battle. After
the Wesleyan game Coach Red Lam-
berton, who was All-American end on
Princeton in 1916, said that the
Trinity team was not yet satisfactory
and that it needed a lot more practise
to get it running smoothly. Scrim-
mage was planned for four days this
week, the team leaving for Maine on
Friday. The line did not show up
as well as was hoped for in the
Wesleyan game and a new center will
probably be developed for the Bow-
doin game. Brill started the season
at that position but gave way to
Wright in the Wesleyan game and
now Hicks will probably get a chance.
Hicks is a veteran but did not show
up very well in the early practise.
Changes in the ends are also likely.

On the Delta, Wednesday, the®.
Freshmen won the second game of
the annual interclass series in a very
decisive manner. The 1924 team
came through to the tune of 5 to 2,
principally through the superb hurl-
ing of the Freshman pitcher, Clavin.
He had the upper-classmen guessing
throughout the game. The fielding of
the Freshmen was far better than
their rather weak showing in the
initial game of the series.
The Freshmen started things in the
first inning when they pushed two
runs across.
Clavin held the Sophomores down
until the fourth inning, when a hit
and an error let two runs in. In the
latter half of the same inning, how-
ever, Wing weakened and was hit
freely. With two men on base, Put-
nam '24, knocked a screaming double
to left field, and drove in both run-
ners.
In the fifth inning, with three
Freshmen on base and one out, Wing
pulled his team out of a bad hole, in
fine style, by striking out two men in
succession. Both pitchers tightened
after this inning, and zeros marked
the score by innings for both teams
thereafter.
The teams played seven innings.
The work of Hill '23 and Needelman
'24 was noticeable both on the field
and at the bat. A fair crowd wit-
nessed the game.

COBURN CLASSICAL
IS LUCKY TO WIN
Bowdoin Second Smashes Coburn's
Defence in Last Period — Phillips
Scores for Bowdoin on Re-
covered Fumble.
On Whittier Field, last Saturday,
Coburn Classical won from Bowdoin
Second in a hard fought game. Coburn
came through with a score of 9 to 6.
The Waterville team had all the
weight in its favor, and throughout
the first half their backs went through
the Bowdoin line repeatedly for long
gains. Practically all their plays
were straight football, although they
worked one forward pass in the sec-
ond period which netted thirty-five
yards. Bowdoin, however, held on the
12-yard line and Sutti dropped back,
kicking a field goal from the 20-yard
line.
In the first period Bowdoin was un-
able to stop the heavier backs of
Coburn's team. In the first few
minutes of play, DeRoche went
through on a center plunge for a gain
of forty-five yards. It looked like a
touchdown, but Keene brought him to
earth on Bowdoin's 10-yard line.
Shortly after this, Comolli carried the
ball across for a touchdown. Levee
missed the goal.'
The second half, however, told a
different story. Coburn was unable
to gain consistently in the third
period, and the ball wavered back and
forth in midfield. Bowdoin worked a
pretty forward pass in this period for
fifteen yards.
In the last period Coburn began to
slow up. Starting in midfield, Phillips,
McCrum, and Whitney rushed the ball
through Coburn's line for gains of
four to five yards at a time. Bowdoin
rushed the ball to Coburn's 9-yard
line, when the ball was fumbled. Phil-
lips jumped for it and ran across the
line for a score. Levee blocked his
try for a goal. Phillips was in-
jured in this play and had to be taken
from the game. Gross, who played a
fine game at guard, was also removed
in this period.
Bowdoin was rushing the ball again
from midfield when time was called.
Had there been a few more minutes
of play the Second team would un-
doubtedly have scored again.
There was a lot of slugging in the
game. Coburn was twice spoken to
for coaching from the side lines. They
were also penalized fifteen yards in
the second period for unnecessary
roughness.

Second-Class Mail Matter.
A Timely Warning.
In this issue of the "Orient" ap-
pears a signed article by Coach
Greene in regard to the football situ-
ation. The editorial department of
the "Orient" wishes to announce that
it is absolutely back of Coach Greene
and his staff in their efforts to turn
out a first-class football team. We
are sure that the student body will
take to heart Coach Greene's sug-
gestions and will follow them out to
the letter. We believe all loyal Bow-
doin men will rally to the support of
coach and trainer in getting behind
the eleven.
The "Orient" wishes to stress in
particular one point made by Coach
Greene. This is in reference to per-
sons not connected with the team or
with the College making comment on
the condition and coaching of the
squad. Such persons do constitute
and have in the past constituted a
constant menace to Bowdoin teams.
Their influence may best be counter-
acted, as Coach Greene intimates, by
public opinion emphatically asserted.
Those Freshmen and others who have
been credulous enough to pay any at-
tention to ill-founded gossip that has
as its aim injury to the team will
take warning from Coach Greene's
article and this editorial. Men of
Bowdoin, get behind the team and put
it "over the top."
Commencement Speakers.
The new method of choosing Com-
mencement speakers recently adopted
by vote of the faculty committee ap-
pointed by President Sills to investi-
gate the matter, should recommend
itself very highly to Bowdoin men.
It has always been the desire of both
the faculty and student body to have
the best speakers and writers of the
graduating class deliver the Com-
mencement parts, in view of the fact
that these exhibitions represent the
best in undergraduate intellectual
activity. Anything that promises to
excite more interest and furnish more
incentive to the men chosen to com-
pete for a place on the Commence-
ment program deserves a fair trial
and hearty support, even though the
number of men who can now compete
has been largely reduced. And it is
in this phase of the new scheme that
its excellence lies.
The six men who are chosen by the
faculty committee to write Commence-
ment parts will feel more interested,
more certain, and more stimulated in
their task than the twenty or thirty
odd who were formerly asked to
write. The individual was lost in the
mass when many were compelled to
prepare a dissertation, often when
some of the men had little or no in-
terest in writing on a suitable sub-
ject.
The sense of individual initiative,
of personal responsibility, will now
come into play and elicit the best that
is in the men whom the faculty com-
mittee will choose.
There can be little doubt that the
faculty will be able to pick men who
will finally shape up to the high stand-
ard already achieved in past Com-
mencement exercises. Yet there are
men who can write and speak who are
not 'the best scholars nor have they
achieved much distinction in lines
that would lead the faculty to decide
on them. Often a "dark horse" will
carry off a '68 or Commencement
prize and for this reason it is recom-
mended that any students may be al-
lowed to write and be given a hearing
who wish to do so, in order that if
there is any material that has escaped
faculty recognition when the six are
chosen, it may have a chance to show
itself. H. H.
The tennis report of 1920 has not
yet been audited and is still incom-
plete. The editors regret that the re-
port as printed in a recent issue of
the "Orient" was inserted prema-
turely.

Incomplete registration figures
from Columbia University indicate
that their enrolment this year will
exceed 31,000, a gain of over 35 per-
cent, over last year. Columbia will
then be the largest educational insti-

the university.
Many alumni are expected back to

Thursday noon a meeting of the
Board of Managers was held in the
Library at which the division of the
blanket tax was discussed. Owing to
the smaller enrolment of students this
year, increases in cost of materials,
and advanced railroad fares, the ath-

are dependent for their support on
the tax are hard pressed for funds.
Therefore every man who has not yet
paid his blanket tax should do so at
once in order that Bowdoin activities
may not suffer.

pleasing Bowdoin Eye-cup;" the
psykter vase-form of which only four
are in America; "the one in Bowdoin
College is black all over; black
psykters are very rare;" a small
cylindrical box referred to as the
"Bowdoin Box," of a period when the
"archaic style had reached its full de-
velopment." There are reproductions
of two Bowdoin lekythoi vases (one
very like an example in New York)
and others are cited. Edward Warren,
one of the two collectors to whom
this volume is dedicated, is the donor
of many of Bowdoin's art treasures.

Assignments in
History and Economics
Beginning with this issue, the
"Orient" plans to include from now
on the weekly assignments in the de-
partments of History and Govern'
ment and of Economics and Sociolog5 .
The assignments in these non-
technical subjects provide an excellent
course of reading for anyone in-
terested in them, and it is thought
that the "Orient" will be a much
easier means of reference than the
bulletin board in the Library for stu-
dents taking courses in these depart-
ments.

sional Record, 60 Cong., 2 Session

Fifth. Organization. The wording
of the subject often suggests a
method of organizing the report. For
the subject "Give the purpose, chief
provisions, and results of the Esch-
Cummins Bill," the report should be
organized into three parts, (1) the
purpose, (2) chief provisions, (3) re-
sults. Group editorials dealing with
the purpose of the bill under one, and
those dealing with the results under
three.
If no plan is suggested by the
wording of the subject, organize the
report yourself. Example: "The
Jury." (1) When used, (2) Number
of jurors, (3) How jurors are selected,
(4) The trial, (5) The verdict, (6)
The importance of the jury, (7) Criti-
cism of the system.
Sixth. Library aids and materials.
Handle library materials carefully.
This applies especially to the India
paper Britannica, the bulky New York
Times volumes and bound periodicals
in general. Do not remove any of the
aids to a different part of the library.
Do not take out of the library (ex-
cept for over night) any of the peri-
odical articles that are needed for
writing up the report. Others need
to use the same sources.
Seventh. If you cannot find books,
periodicals, etc., in their proper places
consult a library assistant. Do not
consult anyone for aid in finding your
material until you have searched dili-
gently for it yourself. One of the
chief objects of these reports is to
train you in finding material.

1873 — Maine lost one of her finest
educators in the death of Albert
Francis Richardson, at Castine, Oc-
tober 2. Born at Sebago, July 2, 1841,
his early life furnishes the story of a
poor boy's grim struggle for an edu-
cation. While a mere boy, he worked
in the logging camps and on farms,
carefully saving his small earnings to
bear the expense of his schooling.
Mr. Robinson started early on his
pedagogical career. He used to tell
the story of his first charge, a little
school in a backwoods town. Al-
though only thirteen years of age, he
was very large for his years, and his
experience in hard labor had given
BOWDOIN ORIENT
him self-reliance along with no mean
measure of strength. His education
at that time was decidedly stinted but
he could read, write, and do sums.
When the school board suggested to
him that he take charge of the edu-
cation of their youth, he hastened to
make plain his deficiencies as an in-
structor, especially since a number of
his prospective pupils were some
years older than he. The board, how-
ever, had explanations of its own to
make; what was required of the
young teacher was not a vast store
of knowledge, but the ability to teach
and enforce "discipline." And Pro-
fessor Richardson would smilingly tell
how he stayed in the place a full
school year, teaching "discipline" for
ten dollars a month, while he "boarded
'round."
Graduating from Bowdoin in 1873,
Mr. Richardson continued to teach,
steadily working upward until he de-
cided on the career which he followed
for nearly half a century. He was for
ten years principal of Bridgton High
School, then five years leader of the
famous old Fryeburg Academy.
Mr. Richardson came to Castine as
principal of the Normal School in
1888, retaining that position until last
June when he resigned because of the
steady decline in health which resulted
in his death. During his term of
office at Castine, this worthy son of
Maine fully earned his place among
the foremost educators of the State.
In the thirty-one years of his leader-
ship the school graduated over 1,500
students, most of whom became
teachers, and many of whom still fol-
low that profession. As a token of
the state's appreciation of his years
of honorable service the splendid new
dormitory recently added to the
school is named Richardson Hall.
Mr. Richardson was a member of
the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

ceived from the secretary of the Class

The Power of Electricity
in Transportation
Some Advantages of
Railroad Electrification
Saving the Nation's coal.
Lower maintenance costs.
Ability to haul smoothly

Operation of electric locomo-
tives unaffected by extreme

Ability to brake trains on

ELECTRICITY hasleveled out
the Continental Divide. The
steam locomotive, marvelous as
it is after a century of develop-
ment, cannot meet all of the pres-
ent demands for transportation
facilities. Its electric rival has
proved to be far superior.
On the mountain divisions of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway— the world's greatest
electrification— giant electric loco-
motives today lift an ever increas-
ing freight tonnage over the mile-
high Rockies and also make travel-
ing clean and comfortable. They
utilize the abundant energy of dis-
tant waterfalls and then, by return-
ing some of this power to the
trolley, safely brake the trains on
descending grades. And their
capabilities are not impaired by
excessively cold weather when
the steam engine is frozen and
helpless.
Electricity is the power which
drives the trains of New York
City's subway and elevated sys-
tems. It operates the locks and
tows the ships through the
Panama Canal. It propels the
Navy's latest super-dreadnaught,
the New Mexico. Electric mine
locomotives have replaced the
slow-moving mule and the electric
automobile has also come to do
an important service.
Electricity has become the uni-
versal motive power. It has con-
tributed efficiency and comfort to
every form of transportation ser-
vice and in this evolution General
Electric apparatus has played a
large part — from mighty electric
locomotives to the tiny lamp for
the automobile.

BOWDOIN ENTIRELY OUTCLASSES TRINITY
AND WINS FIRST HOME GAME, 6-0
Bowdoin's Margin of Superiority Greater Than Score Shows— Trinity Unable
To Gain Through Bowdoin's Line— Lone Touchdown Made on Forward Pass.
Playing in superb football weather
Saturday, on Whittier Field, Bowdoin
defeated Trinity to the tune of 6 to 0.
As regards weight, the two teams
were very evenly matched. Trinity,
however, was able to gain very little
through the Bowdoin line. The
White's- superiority over the visitors
was decidedly evident throughout the
game, in spite of the low score.
The game was played before a
large body of alumni and students.
There were a large number of ma-
chines parked about the field. It was
Bowdoin's first home game of the sea-
son, and all were glad to see them
come through with a win.
The first quarter opened' with A.
Morrell making a fine runback of the
kick-off. He went around Trinity's
end on the first play for a gain of
thirty-five yards. Trinity finally held,
however, and attempted to rush. The
ball wavered back and forth through-
out the first half. Bowdoin had the
ball most of the time, but fumbles
and incomplete passes .gave the
visitors chances to punt out of danger.
A. Morrell and Bleecker, Trinity's
fullback, exchanged several punts
with the Bowdoin man gaining ten to
fifteen yards on every exchange.
Miller was injured in the first
quarter and was replaced by Whitney.
The gains of Al Morrell were the only
outstanding features of the first half.
The play was rather listless, particu-
larly on Trinity's part, until the be-
ginning of the third quarter. Near

BOWDOIN 6, TRINITY 0
(Continued from page 165)
the end of the half, when Bowdoin
had been forced to punt from about
midfield, Morrell drop-kicked, and the
Trinity back fumbled the ball on the
15-yard line. Guptill recovered the
ball for Bowdoin, giving the White a
splendid chance to score. The ball
was lost again almost immediately,
and Bolles punted out of danger just
before the whistle sounded. During
the entire half Trinity failed to secure
a first down, and never once had the
ball in Bowdoin's territory.
The second half started with Bow-
doin's off side kick off, followed by a
long kick to Bolles, who was stopped
on Trinity's 35-yard line. Murphy and
Bleecker then tried the Bowdoin line
but were repulsed for a 2-yard loss.
Bleecker punted out to an offside on
Bowdoin's 35-yard line and M. Mor-
rell went through tackle for four
yards. Whitney went through center
for another yard and Bowdoin punted
to Trinity's 25-yard line. The Bow-
doin line refused to give way for
Murphy and Bolles and the third
down found the ball unadvanced.
Bleecker then took the pigskin for a
spectacular end run which was stopped
by Mason on the 48-yard line.
Murphy hit the White center for an-
other three yards, followed by gains
of one and two yards by Bolles. On
the punt out Whitney received the ball
and was downed on the 22-yard line.
Al Morrell then bent the Trinity left
wing for four yards, after which he
followed Whitney's vain effort with a
first down. In two more rushes Mor-
rell put the ball within a foot of an-
other first down, then carried it five
yards over. Smith followed with a
center gain of a yard while Whitney
made a slight advance through the
line. Bleecker received Morrell's punt
and advanced to the 35-yard line, then
circled the end for four yards. Bolles
followed and made first down on the
Trinity 45-yard line. Bleecker went
around for four, but Bolles and
Murphy failed to gain so Bolles
punted to Smith for a down on the
25-yard line. He followed with a 2-
yard gain before the whistle blew for
the end of the period.
The fourth period started with
Bowdoin's ball on her 27-yard line.
Al Morrell missed the snap-back, re-
covering the ball with four yards loss.
Smith took it through for two yards,
then M. Morrell punted to an offside
on Trinity's 38-yard- line. Bleecker
again tried his circling tactics, gain-
ing three yards, followed by Bolles'
yard gain through center. Bleecker
made three more around Bowdoin's
right end, but in another attempt
failed to make first down. With
Woodbury in for Smith, the first for-
ward pass attempted went wild but
the home team made up for that in
the next play when a lateral pass sent
Whitney through for a first down.
Bowdoin now started to rush the ball
down the field, taking this last chance
to score. Al Morrell hit the line for
two yards, an incomplete pass fol-
lowed, but the next pass which Whit-
ney caught gained twenty-one yards.
Woodbury hit the line to no avail,
then Al Morrell broke through for
three yards. Then, without the
knowledge of the home team, H. F.
Morrill came on the field to relieve
M. E. Morrell. The referee, Farns-
worth, failed to see his signal and the
play went on with the Trinity team
engrossed in the progress of the sub-
stitute. Al Morrell tossed a beauti-
ful forward to Parent, who received
it back of the goal, and dropped for
the only score of the game.
There ensued a vigorous argument
as to the legality of H. F. Morrill's
presence on the field, a topic over
which the two teams waged heated
verbal combat for some minutes with
the result that Farnsworth decided
that the touchdown was rightly Bow-
doin's. The try for goal failed and
the score stood Bowdoin 6, Trinity 0.
Bleecker received the kick-off on the
32-yard line. Kelly speared a for-
ward pass for a 20-yard gain only to
have his work undone when Whitney
blocked another attempted forward
for a 2-yard loss and three consecu-
tive unsuccessful attempts at passing
failed to advance the ball whereupon
Bowdoin took the offensive in mid-
field. A. Morrell went through for
three yards, followed by Woodbury's
unsuccessful line buck. The ball went
to Whitney as the whistle blew.

CAMPUS ACTIVITIES
OF AROOSTOOK
COUNTY MEN
To bring more intimately to the
knowledge of the Alumni the interests
and activities of the undergraduates,
and thus to unite all in the common
fellowship and traditions of Bowdoin,
the "Orient," acting upon a sugges-
tion of President Sills, is glad to print
in this issue the first of a series of
brief sketches of men now in college
from different sections of the country.
To mention Aroostook County is to
call up a large and growing body of
Bowdoin supporters. For its alumni
are among the most devoted of the
college and have always contributed
largely, not only to the welfare of
their Alma Mater, but also to the
best interests of the State.
The following compilation will
show present Aroostook men in a
variety of interests, such as the Stu-
dent Council, Athletic Council, Masque

FOOTBALL RALLY
The football rally held Friday night
before the game with Trinity was
very enthusiastic. John Young '21,
presided. The first speaker was Cap-
tain Dudgeon of the football team.
Franklin D. MacCormick '18, who was
manager of the baseball team when he
was in college, spoke next.
Jack Magee was the principal
speaker of the evening, talking for
Coach Greene in the latter's absence.
He said that Saturday's game was the
first opportunity for the Freshmen to
show their worth by turning out and
cheering the eleven. He appealed to
every man to read Coach Greene's
article about the team in the last issue
of the "Orient." Jack summarized
Bowdoin's splendid playing in the first
three games and said that there was
every reason to believe that Bowdoin
would be victorious over Trinity. He
lastly urged all football men who had
drifted away from regular practise
to return because a first team
can never be strong without the back-
ing of a good second team.
President Sills was the last speaker.
He urged Bowdoin men at all times to
be hospitable to the opposing team
and back the home team with honest
sportsmanship. He also extended his
own appreciation and the apprecia-
tion of the faculty to the student
council for the manner in which they
had taken care of the campus activi-
ties so far.
Between the speeches apples, cig-
arettes, and cider were distributed to
the fellows, and the college songs we're
sung to the accompaniment of the
band and the fellows cheered with
great enthusiasm. The rally was a
splendid success.
Wanted: Candidates for
Track Managership
If a college man can attain the
managership of track he has secured
one of the greatest honors offered here
at Bowdoin. Of course, such a posi-
tion is to be reached only by persever-
ance.
Each fraternity on the campus is
expected to send out one candidate
for this position. There are five men
out now. The Zetes and Betas are
ineligible this year since each has a
representative in the present manager
and assistant manager, respectively.
What is the trouble with the others ?
This is something well worth trying
for! Plan to get your candidates out
immediatelv!

Cram at once.
As this change in requirements of
John Hopkins may be followed by
changes in other schools, students who
plan to attend the larger medical col-
leges are advised to make certain that
the elective courses which they take
here are chosen with proper regard to
present and future requirements.
FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
Medical School Notice
Men who intend to study medicine
at the John Hopkins Medical School
should take notice that an important
change in the entrance requirements
in chemistry will go into effect in
1923, by which the amount of college
chemistry is materially increased.
Students who intend to apply for ad-
mission to the John Hopkins Medical
The prospects for a successful State
series in football this year are fairly
good at this point in the season. Coach
Greene and Trainer Magee have been
putting the boys through the stiffest
kind of practise in the last several
weeks and the squad is showing a
steady and sure improvement.
Injuries this season have crippled
the team and several good men havt
had to drop the sport because of
scholastic difficulties; however, there
is still a good-sized squad left.
There are now nearly forty men on
the squad, all of them fellows who
seem as though they are going to
stick.
There are five good men fighting for
end positions this year — Parent, who
was the star of two previous Bates
games; and Perry, Gibbons, Burgess,
and Bates look good.
In the line, Captain Dudgeon, Mc-
Curdy, Mason, Turner, Putnam, Wagg,
Eames, Haines, Parsons, and Tootell
have been doing good work.
Joe Smith and Woodbury have been
having a battle royal for quarter and
both of them will probably be given
chances in the State series.
In the rest of the backfield there is
an abundance of material. Dahlgren,
M. E. Morrell, A. E. Morrell, H. F.
Morrill, Miller and Bisson have all
played and the choice between these
men is going to be a hard one. Be-
sides this number there are several
second string men who are liable at
any time to show varsity ability. "No
man is sure of his place on the team
yet," says Coach Greene.
In short, this year's team is one
which deserves the hearty support of
every Bowdoin man. Let's all turn
out, fellows, and help the team clean
up Colby this Saturday at Waterville.

Supporting the Team.
The spirit shown at the rally and
at the game last Saturday by the
student body and all friends of Bow-
doin is most commendable. Whether
conscious or unconscious, it is a splen-
did response to Coach Greene's article
and the editorial in last week's issue
of the "Orient." Next Saturday Bow-
doin plays her first game of the State
series. Without a doubt it will be a
hard-fought battle from start to
finish. While a cheering section was
welcome at home, it will be doubly
so on our opponent's field. We must,
therefore, redouble our efforts in at-
tendance and in cheering effectiveness
at Colby. Waterville is "by no means
a long trip, and the distance should
not daunt any real Bowdoin man. If
your funds are low, there are the
traditional methods of securing trans-
portation other than by buying tickets.
Men of Bowdoin, make it a point to
reach Waterville at whatever sacrifice.
The team needs you!
Besides supporting the team from
the stands, there are men in the stu-
dent body who can show their loyalty
in a more active way. We refer to
those men who came out for the team
at some time during the season and
who, for one reason or another, have
dropped out. During the Maine series
the coaching staff must have a reason-
ably large squad to produce the de-
sired results. We therefore appeal to
any and all men who can play foot-
ball to come out and help whip the
team in shape for the Championship
games. While the reward may not be
great this year, for most of you there
are other years coming and to Bow-
doin men the inspiration of turning
out a winning combination ought in
itself to be recompense enough. Men
of Bowdoin, show some fight; do your
part to bring the Championship where
it belongs.
Cross-Country Notes.
The cross-country team is out
every day, taking a run over the
course. The team is shaping up very
well. A few Freshmen have come
out for the team and take the run
over the course with the upper-class-
men. Several of them are coming
along well and should make the team
if they keep at the game.
Bowdoin is negotiating for a dual
meet with Boston College. If plans
materialize, the probable date for the
race will be Thursday, October 22.
There will be seven men to start on
each team. The first five to finish
will be given places.
It is expected that the State meet
will result in a race between Goodwin
of Bowdoin, Buker of Bates and Ray-
mond of Maine for first honors.
Colby, having lost heavily by gradu-
ation, will start with a comparatively
inexperienced team.
The Maine team, under Coach Preti,
is coming along well, and expects to
duplicate its feat of last year.
The. first meeting of the Maine In-
tercollegiate Athletic Association was
held last Friday at Waterville. Rep-
resentatives from Bowdoin, Colby, and
the University of Maine were there,
those from Bates failing to put in
their appearance. Bowdoin was rep-
resented by Jack Magee, McGorrill '22,
and Buker '21. The principal thing
attended to was the amending of Sec-
tion 3, Article 3, of the constitution.
The amendment read:
"That the sixth and seventh men of
each team shall be scored, but they
shall not be counted in the aggregate
score of their team; and, that the
place won by the sixth and seventh
men of each team, shall not be
credited to another runner in the
race."
It is necessary that before the next
meeting of the association, each col-
lege shall vote on this amendment.
After some discussion it was de-
cided that the manager of the team
over whose course the race was to be
run, should submit to each of the other
colleges, a complete list of the names
of the officials. The race is to be run
at Bowdoin this year.
SOPHOMORES WIN
BASEBALL SERIES
The Sophomores won the annual in-
terclass series by winning, on the
Delta, last Wednesday, the third game
by a score of 4 to 2. As the Sopho-
mores had won the first game 12 to
4, and the Freshmen the second one
5 to 2, this was the deciding game.
At the start the Freshmen were very
much outplayed, but as the game pro-
ceeded, they began to come into their
own. None of the pitching on either
side was brilliant.
The game started very ingloriously
for the Freshmen just as the first one
had done, the 1923 team scoring three
runs, mostly through fumbles and
wild throws.
In the second inning the Freshmen
began to show some speed, but were
unable to push any runs across the
plate.
The most sensational play of the
game was made by Putnam '24 in the
third inning, when on the run he
caught a fly in left field, thereby
making a double play and preventing
the Sophmores from scoring.
The Sophomores added another run
to the three in the fifth, while the
Freshmen were held scoreless until
the sixth when they put two runs
across. In this inning the 1924 team
had a chance to even up the score but
they were unable to come through.
As the game had started late it
was called off after the Freshmen
had had their chance in the sixth. A
smaller crowd witnessed this game
than had attended the other two.

ELECTRICITYhasleveledout
the Continental Divide. The
steam locomotive, marvelous as
it is after a century of develop-
ment, cannot meet all of the pres-
ent demands for transportation
facilities. Its electric rival has
proved to be far superior.
On the mountain divisions of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway— the world's greatest
electrification — giant electric loco-
motives today lift an ever increas-
ing freight tonnage over the mile-
high Rockies and also make travel-
ing clean and comfortable. They
utilize the abundant energy of dis-
tant waterfalls and then,by return-
ing some of this power to the
trolley, safely brake the trains on
descending grades. And their
capabilities are not impaired by
excessively cold weather when
the steam engine is frozen and
helpless.
Electricity is the power which
drives the trains of New York
City's subway and elevated sys-
tems. It operates the locks and
tows the ships, through the
Panama Canal. It propels the
Navy's latest super-dreadnaught,
the New Mexico. Electric mine
locomotives have replaced the
slow-moving mule and the electric
automobile has also come to do
an important service.
Electricity has become the uni-
versal motive power. It has con-
tributed efficiency and comfort to
every form of transportation ser-
vice and in this evolution General
Electric apparatus has played a
large part — from mighty electric
locomotives to the tiny lamp for
the automobile.

STATE SERIES STARTED RIGHT WITH
DECISIVE 7-0 VICTORY FROM COLBY
Colby Outplayed Except in Third Quarter — Al Morrell, Turner, Dudgeon, and Gibbons
Star — Joe Smith Scores Winning Touchdown — Colby Fails To Make First Down
Before Second Half, and Only Four Times Then.
Under a broiling sun and on a
chokingly dusty field Bowdoin won
her first game of the State Champion-
ship series at Waterville last Satur-
day. During the first half of the
game Bowdoin had a decided super-
iority over the Colby team, but the
second half was an exhibition of hard-
fought and well matched football on
both sides. The Blue and Gray team
attempted very few trick formations,
making most of its gains through
straight line plunging, end runs, and
straight passes. Much credit is due
Morebond, the Colby right guard, for
his offensive work. He is a heavy man
who can use his weight where it is of
advantage. The Colby backs also
played high class football, Sullivan
and McGary being the most consistent
gainers. For Bowdoin, Gibbons and
Parent on the ends played their usual
speedy ball, while Dudgeon, Eames,
and Mason proved bulwarks of de-
fense. In the backfield Al Morrell,
Turner, Smith, and Whitney all did
exceptionally good work. Both teams
were in excellent condition and had
had the best of training.
Bowdoin went to Waterville sup-
posedly to play an open game and
for the first few minutes of the game,
the White tried forward passes sev-
eral times, generally successful. Most
of the game, however, it was found

Class of 1868 Prize
Speakers Chosen
At a meeting of the Faculty on
Monday last the following Seniors
were appointed speakers for the Class
of 1868 Prize: Badger, Coburne,
Hatch, Helson, Morse, and H. Nixon.
The Class of 1868 prize is a prize
of forty-five dollars, contributed by
the Class of 1868, given annually to
the author of the best written and
spoken oration in the Senior Class.
The competition is to take place

IBIS MEETING
The Ibis met on Friday evening at
the Sigma Nu House, and took in
two new members, Kileski '21 and
Noyes '21. Noyes read Lord Duns-
any's latest satire, "H Shakespeare
Lived Today," in which is described
the probable distress of the average
modern Britisher if asked to accept
Shakespeare as a member of his club.
Morse read "These Wild Young Peo-
ple," an article in the September "At-
lantic Monthly," which aroused wide-
spread comment in last month's
press, and the substance of which is a
spirited defence of contemporary
young people, "by one of them."
Some recent poetry was read by
Kileski and Helson.
The next meeting will be held at
the Zeta Psi House on Tuesday eve-
ning, Nov. 2, when it is hoped to
have a member of the faculty present.
COLBY GAME RALLY
Speeches By Dr. Whittier, Dean Nixon
and John Young.
Friday night a snappy rally for the
Colby game was held in Memorial
Hall. John Young '21 presided, and
exhorted the students to the utmost
to have the "whole of Bowdoin Col-
lege" at Waterville on Saturday.
Dean Nixon was the second speaker
and began by discussing in his usual
pleasing vein the trials and tribu-
lations of a dean. He prophesied a
victory for Bowdoin after a good con-
test, and urged every Bowdoin man
to do his share in winning that vic-
tory by rooting for the team at Water-
ville.
The last speaker of the rally, Dr.
Whittier, told of a number of the
games with Colby in former years,
when Bowdoin won consistently with
scores ranging from twenty and thirty
to nothing to sixty-eight to nothing.
Again and again Dr. Whittier brought
in humorous touches which were un-
usually effective. He spoke of his
prophesies of Bowdoin victories ten
or fifteen years ago which always
came true until "shortly after Dean
Nixon came to Bowdoin." He men-
tioned Admiral Peary's prediction
that the recent war would be won in
the air to compare it with his own
belief that Saturday's game would be
"won in the air." Dr Whittier con-

eluded by expressing his regret that
he could not be at the game himself,
as he had to perform an autopsy in
Portland, which he hoped would be no
simpler than the autopsy to be per-
formed on the Colby team Saturday.
In addition to the speeches a series
of cheers were given, among them
cheers for the individual members of
the winning cross-country team last
Thursday. Several Bowdoin songs
were sung, and refreshments of the
usual order were passed around. The
rally broke up with the singing of
"Bowdoin Beata."
LETTER FROM
WILLIAM J. CURTIS '75
Professor Woodruff received last
week a most interesting letter from
Mr. William J. Curtis '75, of New
York City, a trustee of the college and
one of her most loyal benefactors.
The following extracts summarize
the chief features of Mr. Curtis's let-
ter:
It will not be easy for the average
person to understand this confusing
and contradictory campaign, as it is
being conducted by the various groups
and interests in the Republican party,
but to me it is easily explainable. The
best minds in the party recognize
that the United States will not stand
for a repudiation of its obligations
and duties, that it will not dishonor
itself by failing to ratify the Treaty
of Peace, that good faith to its allies
compels ratification, and that the
League of Nations is in itself such an
achievement in the attempt to pro-
mote the peace of the world that it
will be a national disgrace not to take
advantage of it at the present time.
No one but a few irreconcilables
known as "Bitter-Enders" pretends to
oppose the League of Nations as a
whole, and these represent only a very
small minority of the party. I do not
mean to say that there are not
patriotic and high-minded people, who
for reasons which I cannot understand
do oppose the League. This I cannot
explain any more than I can explain
why Patrick Henry, one of the great-
est of the patriots of our country op-
posed the ratification of the Constitu-
tion of the United States. There is
not doubt, however, that the campaign
has clearly demonstrated that the
great body of American citizens favor
our entering the League with at least
interpretative reservations.
How, then, can we account for this
chasm between Senator Borah and his
friends and Mr. Taft and his friends ?
Isn't it manifest that there is an in-
ternal struggle for control of the
party by different and irreconcilable
interests, both hoping to dominate
Senator Harding, if elected. There is
no doubt in my mind that this is the
fact, and the electorate of the United
States ought not to allow themselves,
in a great world issue like this, to be
diverted from the fearless perform-
ance of their duty because of a po-
litical schism within the Republican
party.
Don't forget, if Senator Harding
should be elected, that the "Bitter-
Enders" or "Battalion of Death," will
treat the result as a condemnation of
the League, and as a mandate to them
to continue their opposition; and that
they will be certain to continue their
opposition with bitterness and deter-
mination, and that they will be sup-
ported by those who will resent the
dishonesty and vacillating policy of
the presidential candidate who during
the campaign encouraged them to be-
lieve he sympathized with their hostile
attitude toward the Treaty and
League, only to desert them, — if Mr.
Root and ex-President Taft prevail in
their influence with him, — after the
victory is won. In such an event the
desired end of peace and our entry
into the League of Nations will be
long deferred, how long no one can
tell, no matter which coterie prevails
in its influence with their candidate.
The issue is plain. Everyone who
has the moral sense clearly to see
the duty of our country and who be-
lieves in the peace of the world as
nearly as it can be obtained by the
League of Nations should vote for the
candidate who is unequivocally in
favor of it, not for a candidate whose
position is so uncertain that he is be-
ing supported by elements in his party
who are of conflicting and opposite
views on the theory that he is in
favor of both.
Patriotism should transcend all pre-
vious party affiliations in this great
issue. The women who are now cast-
ing their first vote can show their
independence, their intelligence, and
their fine moral discrimination by vot-
ing for the Treaty of Peace and the
League of Nations. The soldiers who
engaged in the war should vote as
they fought. Those who by prejudice
or by old association cannot see that
the issues today compel a new align-
ment of the forces of the world as
well as of this country, will stick to
their prejudices and vote with the
party with which they have been here-
tofore associated, regardless of the
principles involved.
Very sincerely yours,
W. J. Curtis.
Exhibit and Lecture
of Audubon Society
The Robin Junior Audubon Society
held its annual exhibit and lecture be-
fore a good sized audience at the
Searles Biological Laboratory on Mon-
day evening, Oct. 18. The museum,
which was an excellent place to stage
the exhibit, was decorated with balsam
fir, pine, and colorful autumn leaves.
A very interesting lecture on "The
Boys and Their Work in the Aubudon
Society" was delivered by Professor
Gross. The exhibit, which was divided
into five sections, consisted of bird
houses, color work, used nests, photo-
graphs, and insect specimens. They
were judged by Professor Copeland
and Mr. Charles G. Wheeler '76, prizes
being awarded to the winners. Chief
among whom were Weston Walch and
Everett Nason. Dr. Gross has been
doing a great deal of work during the
last year or so in the organization
of this club of Brunswick boys.

BOWDOIN LEADS BOSTON
COLLEGE IN CROSS-COUNTRY
Goodwin and Hart Easy Winners — Towle Finishes Far Ahead of First
Boston College Runner.
The Bowdoin cross-country team
went to Newton last Thursday and
won a complete victory over Boston
College. The running conditions were
very bad, the oppressive heat making
fast time impossible. In spite of the
weather and the unaccustomed course,
however, the harriers under Captain
Goodwin easily captured first, second,
third, sixth, and eighth places, win-
ning the event by a score of twenty
to thirty-five.
Boston College has a course de-
cidedly unlike that which Jack
Magee's proteges are wont to follow.
As it is only about a mile and a half
in length, the runners make an initia-
tory circuit of the cinder path, two
laps on the hill and dale course
(which, by the way, is more hill than
dale), and then a final tour of the
cinders.
Goodwin Leads Throughout Race.
The wearers of the White and Black
jumped into the lead just as the field
was leaving the college campus when
Captain Goodwin strode in front of
O'Brien, the Maroon and Gold cap-
tain, taking the position which he
maintained to the finish. ■ Goodv/in
fulfilled the expectations of the col-
lege for its Olympic representative,
while Bill Hart's performance was
more than satisfactory as he dogged
George all the way, finishing about
ten yards behinds him. Towle fol-
lowed some fifty yards behind Hart
and nearly a quarter of a mile ahead
of the nearest opponent, "Dinger"
Dolan, who was leading the B. C.
field. Dolan was exhausted by the
excessive heat as was his team-mate,
Captain O'Brien, who followed close
upon Dolan's heels. The Newton
team was outclassed from the start,
the chief virtue of its performance
being that the men kept well together.
New Letter Men.
Hart's long legs have doubtless won
him his "B" on his first athletic trip
in three years at college, while
Towle's grit has probably brought
him the same reward. Renier also
will receive his letter if the Athletic
Council decides, as it probably will,
to award letters for the event. Good-
win and Hatch are already letter men.
GEORGE GOODWIN,
Winner of B. C. Cross-Country Race,
Goodwin's time was twenty-three
minutes, and the easy style with
which both he and Hart finished re-
flected the excellent training that
Coach Magee has given them this fall
as well as showing what good natural
ability they have. After the race the
Boston College men congratulated
each of the winning team, and also
Jack, commenting particularly on the
work of Towle, Hatch, and Renier.
These three "punished themselves"
more than any runners they had seen
for a long time.
Hard Training for Maine Meet.
Jack was well satisfied with his
team, but nevertheless said that they
must all train to the utmost and do
their very hardest work to make a
respectable showing in the state meet
a week from Friday.
Buker Confident of Second Win.
The Bates team came down here
last week and went over the course.
Buker feels confident of repeating his
last year's victory, but, according to
Jack, he will be forced to go a lot
harder this time to show his heels to
Goodwin and Raymond. Hart and
Towle are both expected to run strong
and to be right up with the leaders.
Bowdoin started Goodwin, Hart,
Towle, Renier, Hatch, and Varney;
B. C. sent out O'Brien, Russell, Dolan,
Deeley, McGovern, and Marr. The
men finished as follows: Goodwin, 1;
Hart, 2; Towle, 3; Dolan, 4; O'Brien,
5; Hatch, 6; McGovern, 7; Renier, 8;
Russell, 9; and Deeley, 10. James E.
Donovan, president of the N. E. I. C.
A. A., started the pack, and John D.
Kelley and Virgil C. McGorrill acted
as judges.

BOWDOIN 7, COLBY 0
(Continued from page 181)
for consistent gains. Capt. Dudgeon
and Haines did especially fine work
in tearing huge gaps in the left side
of Colby's line, ably assisted by Gib
bons. Turner and A. Morrell broke
through for some fine gains until
Turner was injured and forced to
leave the game when the brunt of
the work fell on A. Morrell.
The right side of Colby's line was
noticeably strong on the offense and
soon after the start of the second half,
Cook did valiant work for his team
but once the ball reached Bowdoin
territory, our line stiffened and the
White's line was never seriously
threatened. With the exception of
Werme who got away for some good
runs, the Colby backfield was unable
to do anything with the Bowdoin de-
fense and even with the advantage
in weight which Colby had in the line,
line-plunging was pretty difficult work.
Both teams were penalized fre-
quently especially during the third
quarter but with the exception of
minor injuries and a severe kick in
the face which Turner received, both
teams escaped unhurt. Interest on
both sides was high during the en-
tire game and both the Colby and
Bowdoin stands did some effective
cheering.
"A Tame Battle"— Portland Telegram.
According to a good-sized headline
in the "Portland Telegram" . last Sun-
day, the game was "a tame battle."
Maine won "a thriller" from Bates.
These two write-ups probably came
from student reporters at Waterville
and Orono respectively. Both of them,
particularly the Colby write-up,
seemed almost too ridiculously par-
tisan even for a college paper which
naturally supports its team, to say
nothing of the Portland paper which
has a more complete sport section for
the Maine colleges than any other
Sunday journal.
Colby kicked off to Whitney on the
20-yard line. Al Morrell hit the line
for a yard, then punted to Colby's
42-yard line. Smith, the Colby
quarter, made a disastrous fumble,
for Gibbons was on the spot to re-
cover the ball. Al Morrell went
through for another yard but his
brother was sent back for a 7-yard
loss.
Twenty Yard Pass to Parent.
A long forward to Parent brought
the ball to the 28-yard line and Whit-
ney followed with another yard. After
an incomplete forward and a yard loss,
Joe Smith attempted a field goal but
the ball went wide. Another attack
on the Blue and Gray line netted no
more than a 5-yard penalty for in-
terference and the ball went to Colby.
McCracken tried the Bowdoin left
wing and found it impenetrable, but
another dash by the same man gave
Colby first down. Good was repulsed
by the White left and Tarpey's yard
gain was followed by McCracken's
punt to Joe Smith on the 40-yard line.
Mai Morrell lost his footing in an at-
tempt at the Colby right and was
tackled three yards behind the line.
His punt was stopped on Colby's 38-
yard line and the Blue team promptly
lost five yards more by an offside
penalty.
Smith carried the ball through cen-
ter for a yard, then for three more,
and on a fake kick formation Good
brought it over for another five. The
punt to Mai Morrell on the 40-yard
line was promptly returned to Smith
who got as far as the 31-yard mark.
The Colby back fumbled, however, and
Joe Smith recovered the ball for Bow-
doin. As the ball went down for eight
yards more the whistle blew for the
end of the period. The second period
started with Bowdoin's ball on Colby's
38-yard line.
Fifteen Yard Run by Al Morrell.
Following a line gain of two yards,
Al Morrell went through for fifteen
yards on a fake pass. Two futile
plunges followed by two incomplete
forward passes gave the ball to Colby
on the 20-yard line. Smith failed to
pass the snap-back and he was stopped
in his tracks. Then Good took the
ball about a yard and Tarpey punted
to Al Morrell on Bowdoin's 43-yard
line. Whitney bored tackle for five
yards but the next play was fumbled
and Colby took the ball on the Bow-
doin 45-yard line. In two plunges
McCracken made three yards but a
15-yard penalty for holding brought
the ball back into Colby territory.
Pass to Mason Nets Twenty Yards.
There Good fumbled and the ball
went to Bowdoin on the 38-yard line.
After an incomplete forward Joe
Smith went two yards further on a
fake pass. A lateral pass from Smith
:o Al Morrell to Mason advanced the
jail twenty yards down the field. An-
other 5-yard gain was followed by a
fumble which Al Morrell recovered.,
Turner went in for Mai Morrell and
ifter an unsuccessful try dented the
line for eight yards and first down
>n the 3-yard line.
Smith Scores After Turner's Fine
Gains.
His second plunge Drought the ball
within three inches of the line and
then Joe Smith scrambled over the
line with a touchdown. He kicked his
goal, making the score Bowdoin 7,
Colby 0. Guptill went in for Mc-
Curdy. Mason received the kick off,
making about eight yards before he
was stopped on the 35-yard line and
Al's punt to Tarpey came to earth on
the Colby 35-yard line. A lateral pass
to Tarpey lost the Blue and Gray two
yards, a fumble left the ball still with
them, and Good went through tackle
for three yards. Whitney took the
punt eight yards to the 32-yard line,
where he was stopped as the whistle
blew.
Shake-up in Colby Backfield.
The second half commenced with
only Good remaining in the Colby
backfield, Smith, McCracken, and
Tarpey being relieved by Werme, Mc-
Gary, and Sullivan. Bowdoin's kick-
off went to Werme who carried it
through to the 47-yard line. Sullivan
hit the line for two yards, followed
by Werme's gain of three. Another
attempt proved futile and the punt
went to Joe Smith who made ten yards
before he was tackled on the 38-yard
line. Al Morrell's attempted end run
was repulsed for a loss and he punted
to Sullivan on the 20-yard line.
Colby Scores Three First Downs.
Sullivan went through for eight
more; Good's 3-yard gain made first
down, Colby's first one of the game,
and Werme carried the ball four yards
more before McGary lost two yards.
Sullivan plowed guard only to fumble
ten yards further on but Enholm re-
covered, making first down on the 45-
yard line. Werme's forward to Sul-
livan netted a yard, but McGary's at-
tempt at center brought only a 10-
yard penalty. Putnam went in to re-
lieve Haines at left guard. McGary

Saturday's Victory.
Last week the "Orient" had an edi-
torial entitled "Supporting the Team."
Whether in response to that editorial
or to other influences the student body
certainly gave the suggested co-
operation with a vengeance.
A sufficiently large number of men
appeared on the field every day last
week to carry out a complete and ef-
fective program of practice that had
a great deal to do with the result of
Saturday's game. These men showed
the fight and determination that is al-
ways the forerunner of victory.
No less noteworthy than the splen-
did spirit of the squad was that of
the student body as a whole. Not only
did Bowdoin supporters use the tra-
ditional "blind baggage" methods of
transportation but a few gallant souls
showed their enthusiasm by starting
to walk the entire distance to Water-
ville. Such a spirit made possible the
splendid showing in numbers and in
"pep" at Scaverns Field. It is safe
to say that each and every member
of the team felt and appreciated the
presence of those men in the cheering
Sunday, October 17, President Sills
delivered a memorial address in
chapel for the three prominent Alumni
who have died this summer — Dr.
Thomas Upham Coe '57, Judge
Lucilius Alonzo Emery '61, and Dr.
Frederic Henry Gerrish '66. Parts
of this address are printed here, as
the tributes to these men will un-
doubtedly be of considerable interest
to Alumni.
The presence of so many alumni
here this past week reminds all of us
how large an institution Bowdo'n
College is. The heart, the shrine of
the college is here but the college
really exists wherever its influence
extends and into whatever cities and
countries her sons go. Many men in
the United States have in their own
possession more wealth than is rep-
resented by all the buildings and all
the endowed funds of Bowdoin College
even though they represent some mil-
lions of dollars. But no man could
buy out Bowdoin College. There are
things money can not purchase. As
Governor Coolidge put it in an ad-
mirable state paper — "The realities
of life are not measured by dollars
and cents. The skill of the physician,
the divine eloquence of the clergyman,
the courage of the soldier, that which
we call character in all men are not
matters of hire and salary. No per-
son was ever honored for what he
received. Honor has been the re-
ward of what he gave." These words
come overwhelmingly home as we
think of the long line of honored
alumni who have gone from these
halls. This afternoon I wish to speak
particularly of three who full of years
and honors departed this life during
the past summer. For there is noth-
ing more fruitful of good for youth
to study than the careers of noble
and honorable men.
The first on the list is Dr. Thomas
Upham Coe of the Class of 1857—
the donor of our infirmary, who not
only gave us the admirable building
but also endowed it so generously
that students here receive absolutely
free of charge medical attention and
nursing when they are ill. Dr. Coe
also remembered the college generous-
ly in his will with a legacy of $150,000.
He was a gentleman of the old school,
quiet, modest, courteous and loyal.
Possessed of great wealth he was
generous to his college.
Chief Justice Emery who died in
August shortly after his eightieth
birthday was known to many of you.
As chairman of the Examining Com-
mittee he visited us very often, and
you have seen him here in chapel
often and listened to him in class
rooms. For the greater part of his
active life he was a servant of the
State — occupying the positions of
County Attorney, State Senator, At-
torney General, and Associate and
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
Wide and useful as was his career
outlined by the positions he held, the
activities and virile life of Judge
Emery was and is a precious posses-
sion to the State of Maine. Governor
Plaisted in accepting the chief
justice's resignation in 1911, expressed
his own and Maine's opinion of its
faithful servant, when he said:
"The distinguished service which
you have given our State as attorney
general for three years, 1876-1879,
and as associate and chief justice
from 1883-1911, has won the admir-
ation of your associates and the com-
mendation of all classes. Your great
ability is recognized throughout the
Union, and your absolute integrity is
acknowledged by all our people.
You have served upon the Su-
preme bench of Maine for nearly
twenty-eight years, a period which
has never been exceeded in the
judicial history of our State except in
two instances. Your decisions are
found in the Maine reports, beginning
with the 13th and continuing into the
107th, making thirty-two volumes, or
nearly one-third of all the published
volumes. In these decisions, which
will constitute your monument, you
have made a great contribution to the
jurisprudence of this State. Your
place in judicial history is assured.
You will, Mr. Chief Justice Emery, al-
ways be remembered as one of Maine's
greatest judges."
The Maine bench has deservedly a
splendid reputation throughout the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
187
United States, it is one of the glories
of this college that her sons have
contributed so much, for there have
been but very short intervals when
Bowdoin men have not been mem-
bers of our Supreme Court.
Judge Emery laid great stress on
work and on duty. He worked till the
very end and though after his retire-
ment in 1C11 he accepted no retainer
and did no active practice, on every
important question he let his opinions
be known. In the counsels of the
college he was wise, conservative and
devoted. Judge Emery's family was
very distinguished. His son, Henry
Crosby Emery '92 was chairman of
the Tariff Commission under Mr. Taft,
and his daughter, Mrs. Allison, had
been dean of women at Brown. After
the college had bestowed on all three
honorary degrees, President Hyde re-
marked that only one member of the
family had not been honored and she
was the one who deserved it most —
Mrs. Emery.
Dr. Frederick Henry Gerrish of
Portland of the Class of '66 died
September 8. For nearly fifty years
he was an officer of the College, serv-
ing from 1872 until 1911 as a teacher
in the Medical School — for some years
after that as Professor of Medical
Ethics, and from 1886 until his death
as a member of the board of over-
seers. He was one of the most loyal
of men — loyal to his fraternity — the
Alpha Delta Phi, loyal to his city and
state, loyal to his college, loyal to his
profession. He was a great teacher,
and Gerrish's text-book on Anatomy
had in its day and has still a national
reputation. His eminence as a surgeon
was so marked that at different times
he was president of the Maine Medi
cal Society, president of the Ameri-
can Therapeutic Society, president of
the American Academy of Medicine.
He made a deep and an abiding im-
pression on the medical profession in
Maine. I remember that he told me
that it made the blood course freely
through his veins just to think of the
advances that had been made in
surgery in his life time. But he was
not only a great physician, he was a
fine man and a true friend. One who
knew him well writes of his woncbr-
ful loyalty to his friends and his
friendships: "It mattered not where
he came from nor what his circum-
stances, a patient of Dr. Gerrish al-
ways ended by becoming his personal
friend. To his sympathetic spirit
they turned in every time of sorrow;
with his glad comradeship they shared
every happiness and good fortune."
He represented the loyal life as de-
fined by Professor Royce of Harvard.
"Everybody has heard of loyalty;
most people prize it but few receive
it to be what in its inmost spirit it
really is — the heart of all virtues; the
central duty amongst all duties." And
Dr. Gerrish was loyal to himself and
to his connections, and it followed as
the night the day he could not be
false to any man.
In conclusion I cannot refrain from
calling to your attention the fact that
these honored ones of the college were
men who were in every sense of the
word by birth, breeding and attain-
ments gentlemen. They were at home
among men of the world everywhere.
They were men of distinction. As a
younger man I would express the
gratitude of our generation to these
elder statesmen so courteous, so fine;
in the true sense of the word great
aristocrats. We lose much if we fail
to see that the qualities that make the
gentleman still count. In their day
Bowdoin was a very small college,
but these men had strong characters.
And we honor them today as the col-
lege will always honor them because
of what they gave; a great philan-
thropist, a great jurist, a great phy-
sician, they have left a deep impress
upon the State of Maine.
Championship Chances.
With the first game of the state
scries settled in proper fashion, Bow-
doin's chances for a football cham-
pionship look far better than they
did a few weeks ago. On paper.
Bowdoin probably looks the best
Bates and Maine ought not to win
from the White this time, in view of
Colby's victory over the Garnet and
upon considering Maine's rather lucky
win from the Lewiston eleven at
Orono last Saturday. At the end of
the first half Bates led, 8 to 7, and
Maine had to extend herself to the
limit to score the one necessary touch-
down to win the game.
On the other hand it must be re-
membered that Bates has always had
a scrappy team, a team which last
year almost nosed out Bowdoin at a
time when a Bowdoin victory was re-
garded as a matter of course. Bates
has lost two games in the State series
and the team will do its utmost to
climb out of the cellar position next
Saturday. The White must beware
of overconfidence, and Bates should
be considered this week no less for-
midable than Colby was before last
Saturday.
There are two weeks between the
Maine-Bates game and the Maine-
Bowdoin game, and in those two
weeks Maine is bound to develop a
great deal of strength. The football
squad is large at Orono, and it takes
much more time to round out a fast
team than it does at the other col-
leges in the State. Last year the
team which defeated Bowdoin at
Orono was a far stronger aggrega-
tion than that which trimmed Bates
two weeks previous. Although this
year's Bates game must have been a
disappointment to Maine followers,
Bowdoin must expect to face a team
a week from Saturday which will be
a whole lot stronger.
Trainer Magee said that the Bow-
doin team fought harder against
Springfield Y. M. C. A. than any Bow-
doin team in the last seven years. If
the eleven keeps up this splendid
spirit, which has been so much in
evidence all season so far, and also
if the student body gives the team its
best possible support, the chances are
exceptionally gocd that the Maine
championship will spend the greater
part of 1921 in Brunswick.
Campus J!3eto0
Charles Taylor Hawes '76 of Ban-
gor was on the campus recently.
Webb '23 has been confined in the
infirmary for several days because of
an injured knee.
Goodwin '21 was elected captain of
the cross-country team last week be-
fore the Boston College meet.
An interesting battle took place last
Friday between the wind and the men
engaged in gathering the leaves. Any-
one looking at the campus now would
decide that the wind had won.
Colburn '23 is at home in Augusta
recovering from a particularly critical
operation for appendicitis, which he
underwent last Thursday.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
There has been so much interest in
the Colby game that very little has
happened in the line of the golf tour-
nament. Toyokawa '21 expects to
have some definite information, how-
ever, next week.
In the list of first year medical stu-
dents printed in last week's "Orient"
the name of Theodore R. Meyer of
Sag Harbor, Long Island, N. Y., was
omitted.
The engagement of Miss Isabelle
Crawford Pollard, Mount Holyoke,
1918, and Clyde Thompson Congdon
'22, was announced last Friday eve-
ning.
The Biology Club held its first meet-
ing last week, in the Biology Lecture
Room. It was decided to have a field
trip Tuesday of this week for the
members of the club and also for any
other students interested. Cook '21
is president of the club for this year.
It is expected that the new members
will be taken in at the next meeting,
the time of which has not yet been
definitely fixed.
Deering High School won a slow
game from Brunswick on the Whittier
Field last Saturday 46 to 0.
Men who attended the Colby game
were excused from chapel and classes
on Saturday.
About a third of the fellows who
have been out for baseball have been
transferred to football during the past
week.
At the student election held Thurs-
day, October 21, Vose '22 was elected
manager of hockey, while Woodbury
'22 was elected junior member of the

alumni Department
As an illustration of the active part
that many of the younger alumni are
taking in community affairs, a recent
article in the "Portland Press" on the
activities of the local post of the
American Legion gave the names of
five men who were prominent in that
organization; all five are Bowdoin
graduates: Robert M. Pennell '09,
Robert Hale '10, F. U. Burkett '11,
Leland G. Means '12, and Dwight H.
Sayward '16.
Ex-1857 — Charles Jenkins Little,
died at Newton, Mass., October 14.
He was born at Auburn April 9, 1836,
and prepared for Bowdoin at Gorham
Academy. After leaving college in
1855 he studied law for some time.
He then became interested in the
University Press of Cambridge and in
the shoe business at Lynn. He was
also engaged in business at Yarmouth,
Me., and later at Worcester, Mass.
1872— Dr. Frank Wood Spaulding
died of heart failure while seated at
his office desk at the Clifton Springs
Sanitarium at Clifton Springs, N. Y.,
on October 7. He was born at Bing-
ham, Me., on April 29, 1844. He fitted
for Bowdoin at Kent's Hill Seminary
and entered college as a sophomore.
After graduation he attended the
medical department of the University
of the City of New York from which
he was graduated in 1875 as valedic-
torian. He practiced medicine for
several months in Bingham after
which he was at Brattleboro, Vt., for
two years and at Epping, N. H., for
sixteen years. On October 20, 1880,
he married Abby Thayer Stearns. In
1893 he became connected with the
Clifton Springs Sanitarium, and re-
mained there until his death. He was
a member of the American Medical
Association, of the American Academy
of Medicine, and of state and local
organizations. He was a member of
the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.
1903. — Malcolm S. Woodbury is sup-
erintendent of the Clifton Springs
Sanitarium in Clifton Springs, New
York. Under Mr. Woodbury's direc-
tion the reorganization of this institu-
tion has made it one of the most com-
plete and most scientific medical in-
stitutions in the United States. The
work has grown in extent consider-
ably and today the institution stands
as one of the best diagnostic hospitals
in New York. Each department has
been put under the direction of well-
trained scientific men of considerable
experience. Research has been fost-
ered and already a high type of work
is being carried out.
1905. — For over five years, Georga
H. Stone has been on the administra-
tive staff of the Peter Brent Brigham
Hospital of Boston, beginning as third
assistant superintendent and now oc-
cupying the position of assistant sup-
erintendent. During his stay at the
above institution he has been offered
positions as superintendent of other
progressive hospitals, for he is one of
the few especially trained hospital
executives in this country.
1907— Philip R. Shorey, who has
been on the staff of the "New York
World" since graduation, is now as-

COLBY GAME
(Continued from page 1S5)
circled right end for a long gain,
stopping on Bowdoin's 40-yard line,
and Sullivan broke the line for an-
other seven. McGary made two yards
more. Sullivan's plunge was re-
pulsed but he came back with a yard
and a half and first down. Werme
made about a foot through center,
then Sullivan's left wing dash gained
a yard. McGary's fake pass failed
to gain and when Parent broke up
the Colby forward pass the ball went
to Bowdoin. Smith's fake kick failed
to gain and the period whistle blew
before another play could be started.
The fourth period started with the
ball on Bowdoin's 28-yard line. Al
Morrell's 10-yard gain through tackle
was ruled out and Bowdoin was
penalized fifteen yards for holding.
The subsequent punt was stopped on
Colby's 48-yard line and Werme
promptly carried the ball two yards
into the enemy territory.
M. E. Morrell Intercepts Pass.
After a vain try at the line, Sulli-
van tossed a forward which Mai Mor-
rell (in for Whitney) brought down
on the 32-yard line. Turner made five
yards through center and Woodbury,
at quarter for Joe Smith, gained two
more. Al Morrell's punt went to
Werme, whom Eames stopped on the
30-yard line. Sullivan's forward ^pass
went wild but he made up for it by a
7-yard gain around end. Werme's at-
tempt lost two yards before Sullivan
took the ball for another 5-yard gain,
making first down. McGary followed
with a yard, Sullivan lost two in an
attempt at left end, and McGary made
three through right tackle. Werme
then took the ball for a loss. Swingle-
hurst went in for Mai Morrell at left
halfback and with Bowdoin's ball on
the 40-yard line, Smith fumbled the
snap-back, recovering, however, be-
fore any damage was done. Turner
ripped through the line for another
five, and, after a yard loss, hurled a
forward to the right which McGary
intercepted and carried to the 40-yard
line.
Swinglehurst Makes Ten on Last Play.
Miller went in for Turner and Wood-
bury for Smith. Werme made a yard
on a center rush, Sullivan followed
with two more and McGary had to
suffer an 8-yard loss when Parent
downed him behind the line. Al Mor-
rell received the punt and carried it
to mid-field, Bowdoin advancing to
Colby's 45-yard line on a Colby
penalty. On the next play Bowdoin
was penalized fifteen yards for hold-
ing and Swinglehurst had time only
to tear through tackle for ten yards
before the whistle blew.
After the game, the Bowdoin sup-
porters held an impromptu parade
through the streets and did a glorious
snake-dance on the way. The entire
team and most of the student body of
the victorious college attended one of
the Waterville theatres in the evening
and Bowdoin songs and cheers were
much in evidence during the perform-
ance.

it is after a century of develop-
ment, cannot meet all of the pres-
ent demands for transportation
facilities. Its electric rival has
proved to be far superior.
On the mountain divisions of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
Railway— the world's greatest
electrification — giant electric loco-
motives today lift an ever increas-
ing freight tonnage over the mile-
high Rockies and also make travel-
ing clean and comfortable. They
utilize the abundant energy of dis-
tant waterfalls and then, by return-
ing some of this power to the
trolley, safely brake the trains on
descending grades. And their
capabilities are not impaired by
excessively cold weather when
the steam engine is frozen and
helpless.
Electricity is the power which
drives the trains of New York
City's subway and elevated sys-
tems. It operates the locks and
tows the ships through the
Panama Canal. It propels the
Navy's latest super-dreadnaught,
the New Mexico. Electric mine
locomotives have replaced the
slow-moving muleandthe electric
automobile has also come to do
an important service.
Electricity has become the uni-
versal motive power. It has con-
tributed efficiency and comfort to
every form of transportation ser-
vice and in this evolution General
Electric apparatus has played a
large part — from mighty electric
locomotives to the tiny lamp for
the automobile.

BATES HOLDS BOWDOIN TO SCORELESS TIE
Outrushed Garnet Eleven Gets All the Breaks — Bowdoin Handicapped By Injuries
— Swinglehurst Breaks Ankle — Perry Makes Longest Gain — Turner, Gib-
bons, and Dudgeon Star — Davis and Stonier Chief Assets to Bates.
The originator of that old saw/
anent the best laid plans of mice and
men would undoubtedly be delighted
to know that another shining testi-
monial to the truth of his saying has
come to light. According to the ad-
vance dope on the subject, it was im-
possible for Bates to hold Bowdoin
from scoring, and, furthermore, the
Bates aggregation was certain to
score. As it happened Bates held
Bowdoin to a scoreless tie in one of
the most intensely exciting gridiron
battles of the season. In spite of the
rains of the day before, the field was
in excellent condition, while the ex-
hilarating autumn air and the some-
what dull sky combined to make a
nearly perfect football day. The
stands and bleachers were packed
with rooters who had come to see
Bates make her last effort at cham-
pionship honors.
Bowdoin, flushed with the victory
of a week before, started the game
with a new combination in the back-
field. Bates tore in at the start like
a whirlwind, and seemed to have the
edge on Bowdoin for nearly half the
period before the visitors took the
lead. From the time Bowdoin's kick-
off landed in Finnegan's arms on the
23-yard line to the last whistle it was
a long hard grind for both elevens.
A great deal of credit must be given
to Turner, who, despite the injuries
he received in the Colby game, threw
himself into the contest with all kinds
of energy, that meant everything to
the team. If he had not been in the

THE STATE FOOT-
BALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Rally Friday Night.
Maine defeated Colby last Satur-
day and Bowdoin and Bates battled to
a tie. The standing today is as fol-
lows :
W. L. T. P. C.
Maine 2 0 0 1.000
Bowdoin 1 0 1 1.000
Colby 12 0 .333
Bates 0 2 1 .000
From this we see that Bowdoin and
Maine are the only possibilities left
for the championship. Bowdoin must
defeat Maine next Saturday or else
watch the hard fought title go to
Maine.
Everything depends on the outcome
of the game next week. While Maine
defeated Bates 14-8, they won only by
the merest fluke and anyone who saw
the game would say that Bates had
Maine beaten throughout the game,
yet things broke the wrong way and
Maine won. Bates was far from
scoring on Bowdoin. Not once was
the Bowdoin line in real danger. And
the Bowdoin team certainly had
things their own way in the last
period. But fumbles and hard luck
kept Bowdoin from scoring.
If Bates cannot score on Bowdoin,
yet can on Maine, why are not Bow-
doin's chances somewhat brighter?
Surely the team will need support and
f a Bowdoin man could not go out
of town, surely he can get over to
Whittier Field and root for his team!
We do not want to see Maine duplicate
their feat of last year! We don't
want to have Maine go to Portland
next Saturday and celebrate. We
want Bowdoin to win — and — she is
going to!
There will be a monster rally Fri-
day night; apples, cigarettes, cider,
music, speeches, songs, and cheers.
Every one come! Fill yourself up
with enthusiasm; take it to the game
with you, and don't stop cheering un-
til Bowdoin has won the football
championship of Maine!
HARDING WINS
STRAW VOTE
The straw ballot taken last week in
the college showed that from the stu-
dent body with 354 out of 400 voting,
272 were in favor of Harding, 73 for
Cox, eight for Debs and one for Wat-
kins. The faculty vote with 25 out of
29 voting gave Cox 17 and Harding 8.
DEBATING
Ripon College, Ripon, Wis., is try-
ing to arrange a date in the winter
for a debate with Bowdoin. If a date
can be agreed upon the Ripon College
Club will send a debating team to
Bowdoin to meet the Bowdoin team
here.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
CHESS CLUB
Bowdoin is following some of the
larger colleges in organizing a chess
club. This interest has been prompted
by the recent offer made by the editor
of the "Lewiston Sun," to award a
trophy to the college whose chess
team is champion in a Maine inter-
collegiate tournament.
Professor Meserve recently enter-
tained at his residence several players
of the ancient game. Among those
present were Williams '21, Anderson
'21, Houghton '21, Blanchard '21,
Clymer '22, Bishop '23, and Strout '23.
Games were played, class prospects
discussed, and refreshments served.
It is hoped that all Bowdoin men
who have a genuine interest in the
game will turn out for the chess team,
which will be selected through an in-
tramural tournament.
Bowdoin alumni in Portland have
expressed a desire to compete with
an undergraduate chess team.
A club of this kind should bring
men of different fraternities and non-
fraternity men into closer contact, —
bound together in the interest of
wholesome, intellectual competition.
And with the probability of an inter-
collegiate tournament involved, Bow-
doin in no respect can stand back.
FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE
DEBATE
As a preliminary to the Bradbury
Prize Debate and the intercollegiate
debate, the Freshman-Sophomore d:-
bate will be held on December 6.
The question for both the trials and
the final debate reads as follows: "Re-
solved, That before the next Presi-
dential election a method of direct
voting shall be substituted for that
of the electoral college."
Each team will be composed of three
speakers and an alternate to be
elected at the competitive trials to
be held November 8 at 3.30 in the De-
bating Room. Speakers will be al-
lowed five minutes for presenting ar-
guments on any phase of the ques-
tion they desire.
Competitors are to leave their
names at 32 North Appleton in order
that the speaking schedule for the
trials may be posted by the 8th.
ENGLISH 8.
A course in Literary Composition
English 8, will be given during the
second semester of 1920-1921 by Pro-
fessors Andrews, Brown, Davis, and
Mitchell. Not more than eight stu-
dents will be admitted to the course,
selection to be made on a competitive
basis. Hours of meeting will be at
the convenience of the instructors and
students.
Students, Seniors alone being elig-
ble, who desire to take the course will
plase leave their names with Profes-
sor Davis and inform him not later
than December 1920, of their qualifi-
cations.
Rifle Club Meeting
At a meeting held last Thursday
evening in the Debating Room of the
Library, of about twenty men inter-
ested in the Rifle Club, many of whom
were members last year, the club was
organized for the season of 1920-21
and the following officers were elected :
President, Herbert Ingraham '21;
armorer, Albion Benton '21; secretary-
treasurer, Karl Philbrick '23.
Membership is open to any one in
college, the only requirement being
the payment of one dollar for dues
It is the desire of the club to enroll
as many of the students as possible,
whether they have ever handled a gun
before or not. Last year the rifle
team was very successful although a
number of the men were inexperi-
enced. This year with the graduation
of half the team there is a fine op-
portunity for new men. Guns and
ammunition for the range are fur-
nished by the club.

Y. M. C. A. ACTIVE
MEMBERSHIP
Are you interested in the Y. M.
C. A. ? Do you believe it has a place
on the Bowdoin campus ? Are you
ready to help make that place worth
while ? How can you help ? The Y.
M. C. A. to do work must have money.
No organization these clays can oper-
ate without it. When you pay your
Jlanket Tax, a small part of it goes
to the Y. M. C. A., but as is only
right end natural, the larger appro-
priations go to the major sports. So
if the Y. III. C. A. is to be effective
it must secure the major portion of
its finds elsewhere. But we are not
asking for an outright contribution.
This year we got out the Hand-
book at considerable cost. Did you
like it? The Blanket Tax appropria-
tion covered less than half the ex-
penses cf the Handbook. We must
meet the rest somehow. Also we
want to do some other things that
will count. You who were here last
year — Do you remember Dr. Seerley's
talks ? Do you remember Lang Pratt
rnd Charlie Hussey in the spring?
These are speakers that leave some-
thing with you. We are planning for
more this year. But speakers take
money. The Employment Bureau is
helping nearly fifty fellows to work
their way through college. Operation
of this takes some money.
We want you who are interested to
jo'n an active membership in the Y.
M. C. A. A city Y. M. C. A. offers all
the privileg's of its building to those
who join. So naturally your question
is: What do I get if I join this Y.?
We can offer you nothing of that kind.
Your interest in the work and your
belief in what we are trying to do
can be your only basis for joining. If
you believed the Handbook was worth
while, if you enjoyed those speakers
last year, if you want some more this
year, you should become an active
member of the Y. M. C. A.
But we do not ask this of you and
give you nothing. There are mem-
bership cards, printed by the Inter-
national Committee of the Y. M. C. A.
and recognized all over the country.
For $1.50 you will receive one of these
cards good for one year from date.
They are recognized in nearly every
city association in the country. By

presenting them you can get visitors'
privileges. This varies in different
cities. It generally includes use of
the showers, swimming pool, physical
department, and game rooms. In
many cities it entitles you to a tem-
porary use of the dormitory. During
the next year when you are traveling,-
visiting, and home on vacations won't
you have plenty of opportuities to get
$1.50 worth from your ticket?
So let's everybody join this week.
There's a man in your house who will
sell you a ticket. There's a man in
your dormitory to do the job. If
these miss you, go to 7 South Maine
Hall and McGown will be glad to All
your needs. If you believe in the Y.
M. C. A., stand behind it in this way.

game, Bates might have scored. Not
only was he strong on the offensive
but also on the defensive. Dudgeon,
Perry, M. Morrell, and Dahlgren also
did fine work for the team. Dudgeon,
as usual, was right in his element
when Bates tried plays through his
station. For Bates, Wiggin, Davis,
and Finnegan starred. Wiggin and
Finnegan were especially good at end
runs; while Davis excelled at line
bucking.
First Period.
Bowdoin won the toss and elected
to kick from the western end of the
field. The ball soared neatly down to
the Garnet 10-yard line where Finne-
gan grabbed it, making about three
yards before the defenders brought
him to earth. Kelly tried a detour
around left end but the speedy Bow-
doin men beat him to the turn, drop-
ping him for a yard loss. Finnegan
lost no time in making up his team-
mate's loss by tearing through right
tackle for eight yards. Davis, Bates's
star player, made a lunge at center
which netted a yard before Gormley
dropped back to boot the pigskin up
the field.
Swinglehurst Breaks Ankle.
Swinglehurst was under the punt
but failed to run it back before the
Bates pack reached him. Kirkpat-
rick and Swinglehurst advanced the
ball four yards, then Kirk'hit the line
again, this time without a gain.
Mason's punt went to Kelly whom Bill
Parent promptly brought down. Kelly
again took the ball, bearing down on
the Bowdoin left to be dropped by
Swinglehurst before he reached the
line of scrimmage. "Peewee" was
helped off the field and sent to the
hospital where it was found that his
ankle was broken. Perry went in to
fill the gap.
Bates Gains 22 on Forward.
As the play started again, Davis
made an ineffectual drive at center,
followed by a beautiful forward pass,
Wiggin to Gormley, that netted the
Garnet team twenty-two yards before
Woodbury stopped the racing end.
This was the beginning of a series
of Bates gains that brought the ball
well down toward the Bowdoin posts.
Davis drove through center for five,
Kelley bumped right tackle for four
more, then in two more plunges Davis
made the distance. Finnegan tried to
go around left end but was held for
no gain, then Davis's attempt at left
tackle made only two yards. Wig-
gin's forward flew wild and the ball
went to Bowdoin. Pick Turner, bor-
ing through center for a yard, dropped
the ball as he hit the ground but
Kirkpatrick pounced on it before the
enemy recovered its senses. In two
rushes through center Perry counted
out four more yards for Bowdoin.
Perry Makes 35 Around End
Mason punted to Kelley, who raced
up the field to the 50-yard line be-
fore he went off side. Wiggin tried
right end but gained nothing, then
Finnegan circled left end for four and
Davis broke through right tackle for
two more. Following Gormley's punt
to the Bowdoin 17-yard mark, Perry
took the ball around the defender's
left end and flashed over- six white
lines before Davis, pursuing like an
angry bull, brought him down in mid-
field. Perry's dash was the big sen-
sation of the game. His superb stiff-
arm bowled over three Garnet players
while his foot work was of the best.
With this sort of encouragement Pick
Turner needed only two stabs at right
tackle to make first down, but Davis
broke up the next two plays by Perry
and Woodbury, and although Turner
went through for four yards, Mason's
pass to him was intercepted by Kel-
ley and the ball went to Bates. Finne-
gan's attempt cost the team a yard
which Davis paid in a 3-yard gain
through center but when Kelley was
tackled behind the line for another
loss, Gormley had to put his toe to the
leather. The punt came down on Bow-
doin's 35-yard line and after a vain
attempt at left end by Perry the
whistle blew for the end of the first
period.
Second Period.
Perry's initial play of the second
period was halted a yard behind the
line by Kelley, and Mason punted to
the 28-yard mark. Davis made two
through center but was penalized five,
and then when Kelley tried to get
around the left wing Guptill spilled
him for another 2-yard loss. Wood-
bury received Gormley's punt, running
it back eight yards to the 45-yard line.
A high snap-back to Turner lost the
White thirteen yards. Turner carried
through right tackle for three yards
and a penalty on Bates advanced the
ball five yards further along the field.
Turner again took the ball for two
yards, but this play was too much for
Mai Morrell's uniform and the game
was held up for some minutes while
he got into another pair of trousers.
During this interval Canty reported
in Canter's place and the play started
with Bates on her 47-yard mark. Fin-
negan tried the left wing, losing a
yard in the transaction. Wiggin made
a yard through center, and after an
unsuccessful attempt at a pass, Gorm-
ley punted to the 30-yard line. Perry
made a small gain at right end,
Turner pounded the Bates right tackle
twice for nine yards and Woodbury
went through center for first down.
Dahlgren Goes Into Back Field.
Mai Morrell went in for Kirkpatrick
and on his first play made six yards
through center. Perry's two attempts
netted very little and Mason punted
out. The ball went to Wiggin on the
32-yard line. He fumbled and Eames
recovered. Perry was called out,
Woodbury dropped back in his place,
and Joe Smith assumed the resopnsi-
bility of calling the signals. Smith's
first try netted two, then Morrell
failed to gain and was relieved by
"Dumpy" Dahlgren, in for the first
time since the Springfield game. Fin-
negan knocked down Turner's pass and
Mason's attempted drop-kick went to
Davis, whom Parent downed on the
10-yard line. Davis punched his way
through center for another four but
the White refused to allow Finnegan
or Davis a gain in the next two
rushes. Gormley punted. The Bow-
doin backs, gazing straight into the
sun, failed to discern the ball as it

Bowdoin's Stand on the Election.
The returns from the straw vote
conducted under the auspices of the
"Portland Express" indicate that the
student body is overwhelmingly in
favor of the Republican candidate.
The Faculty, on the other hand, went
strongly to the side of the Democratic
nominee.
The results of this tentative elec-
tion are what might be expected from
such an institution as Bowdoin. The
State election showed that the popu-
lace would swing decisively toward the
Republican faction. Bowdoin men,
while more or less isolated from the
world at large, gave evidence of a
more or less intimate sympathy with
the popular view by naming Harding
as their choice. The Faculty was
probably influenced to some extent in
supporting the opposite side by the
latter's steadfast adherence to the
principle of the League of Nations.
To thinking men and women every-
where this principle is certainly
worthy of serious consideration.
Whatever may be the outcome of
the election we are certain that the
members of Bowdoin College have
cast their votes carefully and con-
scientiously.
TO SUBSCRIBERS.
All subscribers to the "Orient"
have probably wondered that the
issues of October 13, 20, and 27 arrive
together. Owing to a complication of
causes, mechanical and otherwise, it
has been impossible for us to have
the mailing list revised and printed
until last week. Consequently, we
have been unable to mail the "Orient"
as we would have desired. Many in-
quiries regarding this have been re-
ceived and it is hoped by the busi-
ness management that this note may
serve as an explanation and an
apology. K. S. B.
"That Unconstrained
Bowdoin Hullo"
A propos of a recent editorial in the
'Orient," Mr. William M. Warren '01,
of Bangor, calls our attention to the
following poem, published in the
"Orient" in 1898, by John Wilbur Con-
don '98:
From campus to post-office, daylight or dark,
In sunshine, slush, mud, rain, or snow,
You always can tell when those college chaps
meet,
By their patent-applied-for "hullo!"
No formal agonized "How do you do ?"
As cold as the bleak winds that blow,
But a genial good-fellowship warms you clear
through
In that happy-go-lucky "hullo!"
The Senior, the Junior, the Soph, and the
Fresh,
In ages can never outgrow
The friendly emotion that seizes the breast
In response to that hearty "hullo!"
From campus to post-office — no matter where
Our life work may call us to go.
May memory still throw its tendrils around
That unconstrained college "hullo!"
J. W. C. '98.
Weekly Meeting of
the "Orient'
Board
In an endeavor to secure a more
active co-operation among the mem-
bers of the "Orient" Board, weekly
meetings will be held every Thursday
at one o'clock in the "Orient" office
in Bannister Hall. The purpose of
these meetings is to discuss each
"Orient" as it appears and to offer
suggestions for its improvement.
These meetings will be a success only
if all members are present and ready
to do their share.
BATES GAME RALLY
The night before the Bates game a
very enthusiastic rally was held in
Memorial Hall. John Young '21 pre-
sided over the meeting, and, speaking
in his usual vivid manner, asked,
begged, and ordered the students to
go to Lewiston the next day and back
up their team.
Professor Stanwood was the chief
speaker of the evening. He told the
men that he could not go with them
to Lewiston for he had classes in the
morning, but he hoped that not a soul
would be in one of his classes, that
"every mother's son" of them would
be in Lewiston. Then, narrating some
interesting incidents of the football
playing of the Carlisle Indians, he
went on to say that "the idea of sport
is to excel," and to urge the men to
stand back of the team and help it
excel.
The Bowdoin fighting spirit mani-
fested itself throughout the evening,
especially in the songs and cheers
which rose to the roof again and
again. The line of students that
marched in the streets of Lewiston
the next afternoon, showed that the
rally had been a successful one, as did
the empty class-rooms at Bowdoin.
BOWDOIN MEN IN
NEW YORK PARADE
Bowdoin was assigned a place in
line in the College Men's Division of
the great Harding-Coolidge parade,
held in New York Thursday, October
28. Mr. John W. Frost '04, was
marshal of the Bowdoin section, which
was near the head of the column
as the colleges marched in the order of
the dates of their foundation.
"Patrick," said the priest, "how
much hay did you steal?"
"Well, I may as well confess for the
whole stack, your riverence, for it's
going bpek I am for the rest tonight."

THE GOOD OLD
DAYS IN TOPSHAM
The phrase, "busy as a Topsham
grocer," once coined by a Bowdoin
graduate, could not have been applied
in his sense of the word to the
methodical accountant of an interest-
ing volume lately received at the
library. For this well preserved
leather bound folio volume, the library
is indebted to Mrs. Clara S. Patten
of Brunswick, who received it from
her uncle, Dr. Asher Ellis. The book
bears on its first page the inscription:
"Ezra Smith's Ledger, No. 1 Topsham,
Nov. 1, 1797." Mr. Smith was an
overseer of this college from 1800 to
1811. He was born in New Hamp-
shire about 1764 and died in Hanover,
Maine, in 1846.
The three or four hundred pages of
this ledger are completely filled with
the accounts kept by Mr. Smith at
his store from November, 1797, to
September, 1801, and constitute au-
thentic evidence of many of the so-
cial and economic habits of our an-
cestors in these regions some hun-
dred and twenty years ago. Mr.
Smith kept a general store and dealt
in a great variety of articles from all
kinds of groceries, vegetables, meats,
and ardent spirits, to shoes, dress
goods, stationery, dictionaries, and
almanacks, but no other books.
Money was evidently scarce in those
days. Relatively few accounts were
settled with cash, most of them with
commodities produced by the custom-
ers, such as wood, lumber, farm pro-
duce, and labor. Many of them
worked off their bills by hard labor
for Mr. Smith at long hours and at
the rate of 75 cents a day. Miss
Martha Fitts is credited with $12.54
for twenty-five weeks' work. An-
other customer settled a long stand
ing account in part by surrendering
"one share in schoolhouse," valued at
$4. In fact, his store seems to have
resembled a miniature produce ex-
change or a mediaeval barter station
rather than the thing we know to-
day as a store.
The first account runs against a
man who in nine days, charges gal-
lons and gallons of brandy at 38
cents a quart, rum at 25 to 28 cents,
besides lamb at 3 and 4 cents a pound,
sugar at 14 and 15 cents, also a "yard
of pigtail" (whatever that may be)
it 4 cents. For these goods he de-
livers boards at $5 a thousand.
With two or three exceptions Mr.
Smith's customers were hearty drink-
ers. Most of the accounts deal chiefly
with rum and brandy with occasional
charges for "syder." This, however,
is not so difficult for us to understand
when we consider that life hereabouts
was then exceedingly monotonous and
offered virtually none of the substi-
tutes for alcohol that the highly or-
ganized society of today presents.
Of chief interest to us are the prices
then prevalent. We note the follow-
ing:
Sugar, 14 to 20 cents; molasses, 75
cents a gallon; "bisket," 17 cents a
dozen; coffe, 28 to 38 cents; cheese,
13 and 14 cents; butter, 15 to 20 cents;
lard, 9 cents; flour, 6 to 8 cents; pork,
14 cents; lamb and beef, 3 to 4 cents.
Considerable difference in the prices
of the same articles on the same day
seem to indicate that this was no one
price store. Tobacco, 15 to 35 cents
a pound; brandy, 38 cents a quart;
ram, 25 to 28 cents. Eggs figure rare-
ly in these accounts; possibly every
family was expected to keep hens.
However, on September 17, 1798, eggs
were sold at 13 cents a dozen; apples,
42 cents a bushel; corn, 75 cents a
bushel; shoes, 92 cents to $1.25; "knit-
ting pins," 2 cents a pair; "chizzels,"
17 cents each. There is a detailed
record of the cost of building a brig,
$5,633.54.
One gets the impression that life
was not easy in those good old days.
Although most articles of food seem
cheap, cloth and clothing were high,
and labor at seventy-five cents for a
long day must be regarded as ex-
ceedingly unproductive when compared
with present day accomplishments.

New Recruiting Plan
For State of Maine
An advance notice of a recruiting
plan for the new army of 280,000 has
been sent to all newspapers for pub-
lication. Each town and city to sup-
ply its qu'ota for this army is the
present plan of the Army Recruiting
Service. Maine's quota is 1800 and
New Hampshire's 1000. If each town
and city keeps its quota in the army,
there will be no recruiting problem,
and taxpayers will be saved millions
of dollars. Cumberland county's quota
is 276.
OUmpus jftetos
All men who wish to join the winter
track squad must report at once to
Coach Magee for light fall practice.
Those who do not report now will not
be allowed to join the squad later.
All men attending the Bates game
at Lewiston Saturday were excused
from chapel and classes.
Dexter White, president of the
White Studio of New York City was
on the campus last week to make ar-
rangements for Junior class pictures.
The formation of an Out-Door Club
is now under consideration. If the
plans materialize, skating, snow-shoe-
ing, skiing, and tobogganing will be
in order here at Bowdoin next winter.
The athletic council is at present
considering the possibility of entering
the cross-country team in the New
England meet.
P. J. Mundie, Medic-'20, was on the
campus last week.
Freshman caps arrived last week,
Tuesday. The caps are much the same
as last year, the usual black skull cap
with a large white button.
Last Tuesday evening the Psi
BOWDOIN ORIENT
Upsilon fraternity held a special national Law and Common Law are to
initiation for Hugh McCullock Marsh-
all '24, of East Walpole, Mass. Sev-
eral weeks ago Marshall met with a
painful accident when his foot was
caught in the chain of his motorcycle,
breaking several bones of the foot.
After the initiation the members en-
joyed a hallowe'en party. The room
was decorated in appropriate colors
and refreshments were served.
The college pictures have arrived.
They may be seen and purchased at
the Chi Psi House.
The first hour exams of the year
are now taking place. To many of
the men they are mortal terror in
prospect, but the Freshmen have
found that the professors are human
after all, just as upper-classmen al-
ready know. Professor Cram sur-
prised his men by not springing the
surprise which they had expected,
while Professor Mitchell turned out a
long and comprehensive questionaire,
and the fellows had no reason to com-
plain that it did not cover the ground.
The first set of quiz papers in gov-
ernment had warned the students of
the prime necessity in this course for
organization, thereby preparing them
for the hour examination.
Rev. Howard Gilpatric '£6 was on
the campus last week.
The Biology Club field trip, sched-
uled for last Tuesday was postponed
until yesterday.
The Athletic Council had a lengthy
meeting last week and various mat-
ters were discussed.
Last Tuesday there was a meeting
of the "Orient" Board at which plans
were made for entering the Eastern
Intercollegiate Journal Association.
It was also decided to have weekly
meetings to discuss the current issues.
There were two meetings of the
"Bugle" Board last Thursday to make
arrangements about Junior pictures.
A third meeting was held Monday
night.
The college has a sample of every
catalogue that has been issued, with
the exception of three. One of these,
that of 1810, was recently given to
the college by Roger S. Warner of
Boston.
Lyman A. Cousens '02 was on the
campus last Wednesday.
Handy '23 is in the infirmary with
an abscess in his throat.
The monthly examinations in Inter-
be held in Banister Hall on Thursday,
November 6. The first is to be held
at 10.30 a. m., while the second is to
be held at 11.30.
Coach Magee has arranged for an
indoor track and field competition.
This competition started last Wednes-
day and will continue throughout the
fall.
An article has come down from the
"Maine Campus" which states that the
University of Maine is going to
swamp the Bowdoin campus on No-
vember 6. It also says that after the
game the whole Maine student body
is to go down to Portland and cele-
brate. We don't expect this to hap-
pen, so let's prove to them that it
won't.

BATES GAME
(Continued from page 201)
soared to a landing on the 50-yard line
and it bounded and rolled twenty
yards further before Woodbury re-
trieved it. Bowdoin failed to make
first down and punted back. Davis
hit the line in vain and his team lost
fifteen yards for holding. He hit
center twice for a total of six yards
before the punt went down to Wood-
bury, who stopped on the 30-yard line
just as the whistle blew.
Third Period.
The teams lined up for the second
half with Canter back in for Canty.
The kick-off went to Dahlgren who
ran it back ten yards to the 31-yard
line. Turner made four through
tackle but Woodbury and Smith were
detained without gains and Mason
punted to Kelley who dodged five
yards to the 50-yard line. He then
sprinted around right end for a 7-yard
gain, closely followed by a 6-yard gain
through center, engineered by Davis.
Joe Smith Intercepts Pass.
Finnegan dropped back to toss a
forward but Joe Smith wormed
through and brought him down for a
loss of thirteen yards. Wiggin shot a
forward and Joe Smith, dodging
through the tangle, finally snatched
the flying oval almost from the op-
posing end's hands, coming down on
the 35-yard line. Woodbury skimmed
around right end for seven and
Turner's two through center netted
only a 15-yard penalty for holding.
Dahlgren took the ball but failed to
gain and Al Morrell, coming in for
Woodbury lifted the ball down to mid-
field. Kelley went around right for
two and Finnegan circled left for four,
stopping only at the urgent request
of Al Morrell who dropped him neatly.
Farley came in for Finnegan, starting
with a yard through center which
Davis bettered by three yards to first
down.
Turner's 18- Yard Line Plunge.
Farley vainly tried the left wing
and an attempt at forward passing
met with a repulse that sent the
Garnet back eight yards. Kelley
could make no more than a yard
through right tackle so Gormley
placed another punt in White terri-
tory. Turner started off with a won-
derful line plunge, tearing through
the Bates line like a cyclone, shaking
off his pursuers for an 18-yard run.
Smith followed with a dash around the
right wing for three and Turner again
hit center for two. Dahlgren, driv-
ing through left tackle, met Davis and
failed to gain. Wiggin received Al's
punt and ran off-side on the thirty-
five mark. Miller relieved Dahlgren.
Davis spun through right tackle for
four, and then Al Morrell walked
through the line and pegged Farley
for a 5-yard loss, after which he
stopped Wiggin before he could gain.
The punt went to Smith on the Bow-
dain 43-yard mark. He made twelve
yards around the Bates left, then Mil-
ler failed to gain, leaving the ball on
the Bates 45-yard line when the
whistle blew.
Fourth Period.
Finnegan reappeared at the begin-
ning of the fourth period and Perry
went in for Miller.
Perry's Splendid Pass Ruled Out.
On a fake play Smith failed to gain
but when the ball went back to Perry
on the next play he deftly dodged the
Bates men who were bearing clown on
him and spiralled an arrow-like 40-
yard forward straight to Gibbons who
carried it down to the Bates 3-yard
scratch. Unfortunately the offensive
had interfered and Bowdoin was ob-
liged to trudge sorrowfully back to
the starting point of the play, while
the ball went to Bates. The prompt
punt-out went to Joe Smith who ran
it back to the Bates 38-yard line.
Moulton went in for Finnegan. Smith
and Perry tried forwards and lost
some twenty yards which Smith's 15-
yard pass to Gibbons failed to make
up. Al punted to Kelley who carried
it to the 18-yard line before he was
landed. Moulton carried it through
center for three and another penalty
took Bates back to the 10-yard line.
Moulton and Kelley combined to make
seven yards, then failing to gain more
punted to Smith who ran it back fif-
teen yards to the 28-yard mark. Perry
and Turner in three rushes through
center reached the 16-yard line.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
Bowdoin's Last Chances.
Smith circled the left end for two
and after Turner had made another
five, bringing the ball to the Bates
8-yard line, he was removed and Bis-
son took his place. The Bates field
marked him and his dash at center
was indeed ill-fated for a high snap-
back had given him an insecure hold
on the ball and he lost it as he was
tackled. Bates recovered the fumble
and after three small gains booted to
Joe Smith who made a fair catch on
the 48-yard line. Mason drop-kicked
nicely but the ball went a few inches
wide and another chance was gone.
Bates took the ball on her 20-yard
line and after Kelley had made a vain
^effort at the line, Mason recovered a
fumble, carrying it to the 13-yard line.
Again he tried a drop-kick but the ball
went low into the enemy line and after
Bates had advanced the pigskin a few
yards the whistle blew.

1891— Fred J. Simonton of Rock-
land, past exalted ruler of Rockland
Lodge, B. P. O. Elks, has been ap-
pointed district deputy grand exalted
ruler, Maine West, for the year 1920-
21.
1910 — Clyde L. Deming served in
various capacities between 1915 and
1920 on the staff of the New Haven

organization of the Yale Medical
School. During the last year he has
been Assistant Resident Surgeon in
the Department of Urology at the
Johns Hopkins Hospital. As a result
of his good work he has been made
Resident Urologist for next year un-
der Dr. Hugh Young. This is one of
the most coveted positions in the
country, and it is a source of satisfac-
tion to know that Dr. Deming was
chosen over several men who had had
larger connections with that institu-
tion.

RESOLUTION
Hall of Alpha Delta Phi.
In the death of Dr. Frederic Henry
Gerrish the Bowdoin Chapter of Alpha
Delta Phi has lost one of its oldest
and most faithful brothers. Graduat-
ing in the Class of 1866, from that
time to the day of his death he was
ever alert to promote the interests of
his beloved fraternity. He was loyal
to her traditions in great things and
in small. His life exemplified the
spirit of her teachings. Graduates
and under-graduates alike turned to
him for counsel and advice, and in the
labors of an exacting and responsible
profession he was never too busy to
respond whole-heartedly to their ap-
peal. His heart and his hand were al-
ways at our service.
Wherefore, be it
Resolved, That the Bowdoin Chap-
ter of Alpha Delta Phi hereby ex-
presses its sense of profound sorrow
in the death of Brother Gerrish, and
extends its sincere sympathy to his
family and friends in this hour of
their affliction.
Resolved, That a copy of this
minute be sent to the family of our
departed brother, and that it be spread
upon the records of the Bowdoin Chap-
ter.

ow Large is an Atom?
ATOMS are so infinitesimal that to be seen under the most
L powerful microscope one hundred million must be grouped.
The atom used to be the smallest indivisible unit of matter.
When the X-Rays and radium were discovered physicists found
that they were dealing with smaller things than atoms — with
particles they call "electrons."
Atoms are built up of electrons, just as the solar system is
built up of sun and planets. Magnify the hydrogen atom, says
Sir Oliver Lodge, to the size of a cathedral, and an electron, in
comparison, will be no bigger than a bird-shot.
Not much substantial progress can be made in chemical and
electrical industries unless the action of electrons is studied. For
that reason the chemists and physicists in the Research Labora-
tories of the General Electric Company are as much concerned
with the very constitution of matter as they are with the devel-
opment of new inventions. They use the X-Ray tube as if it
were a machine-gun; for by its means electrons are shot at tar-
gets in new ways so as to reveal more about the structure o
matter.
As the result of such experiments, the X-Ray tube has been
greatly improved, and the vacuum tube, now so indispensable in
radio communication, has been developed into a kind of trigger
device for guiding electrons by radio waves.
Years may thus be spent in what seems to be merely a purely
"theoretical " investigation. Yet nothing is so practical as a good
theory. The whole structure of modern mechanical engineering
is reared on Newton's laws of gravitation and motion — theories
stated in the form of immutable propositions.
In the past the theories that resulted from purely scientific re-
search usually came from the university laboratories, whereupon
the industries applied them. The Research Laboratories of the
General Electric Company conceive it as part of their task to ex-
plore the unknown in the same spirit, even though there may be
no immediate commercial goal in view. Sooner or later the world
profits by such research in pure science. Wireless communication,
for example, was accomplished largely as the result of Herz's
brilliant series of purely scientific experiments demonstrating the
existence of wireless waves.

OVER-CONFIDENT MAINE TEAM TIED
7-7 IN SPLENDID EXHIBITION
Maine's Championship Hopes Ruined By Bowdoin's Faster Gamer Play — Parent
Scores Touchdown On Perfect Pass By Woodbury — Small Dashes Over 80
Yards For Maine Score — Turner, Fighting Every Minute, Puts Up Fine
Game — Morrell's Punting of Unusually High Order — Other Stars, Smith,
Dudgeon, and Miller.
In the final game of the State series,
Maine strength was unable to over-
come Bowdoin skill. Starting with
2-1 odds in her favor, Maine was sure
of an easy victory over the light Bow-
doin eleven; so sure in fact that one
of Maine's backfield men wanted to
bet that Maine would score in the first
three minutes. With five thousand
spectators intensely excited every
minute, the White matched Maine play
by play, showing a defence and of-
fence which surprised even Bowdoin
supporters.
Maine's claim to the State cham-
pionship, with a clear conscience, was
stopped by the fighting Bowdoin team.
The Maine student body did not go to
Portland, as had been expected, but
went back to the northern Maine in-
stitution realizing that the light Bow-
doin team had out-played and out-
fought them; and thinking that they
were lucky to have tied the score in-
stead of being beaten 14-7.
Maine's overwhelmingly heavy line
ran into a stonewall twice, when the
Orono team was within striking dis-
tance of the Bowdoin goal. In the
third quarter, Maine had the ball on
the 3-yard line and third down. They
very unwisely tried a run around Bow-
doin's right end and Small was forced
back by Dudgeon for a 12-yard loss.

Friday the four Maine colleges met
in the annual cross-country classic on
the Bowdoin course. Each college
started its full quota of seven men,

Maine Football Dance
An informal dance was held in the
Gym Saturday night after the Maine
game. The dance lasted from 7.30 to
11.30 and was a splendid success.
There were about two hundred couples
present.
The patronesses were Mrs. Kenneth
C. M. Sills, Mrs. Manton Copeland,
Mrs. Alfred O. Gross, Mrs. Edward
H. Wass, Mrs. Frederick S. Nowlan,
and Mrs. Glenn R. Johnson.
The committee in charge was com-
posed of Roderick L. Perkins '21
(chairman), Paul H. Eames '21, and
Waldo R. Flinn '22 and they deserve
a great deal of credit for the success
of the dance. Music was furnished
by a college orchestra.
The West Point Game
Bowdoin journeys far from home
next Saturday and plays the last
game of her schedule. It is West
Point's- last game before her scrim-
mage with the Navy. We all know
that the White's warriors will make
a showing worthy of their college and
even if defeated will certainly have
no reason to be discouraged. While
none of us can very well get to West
Point we can at least support the team
by encouragement and a hearty send
off.
Coach Greene plans to send about
eighteen men on thetrip. They will
be the pick of Bowdoin's gridiron war-
riors.
Dr. Wilfred T. Grenf ell
Lectures at Bowdoin
Last Friday morning Dr. Wilfred
T. Grenfell lectured to the student
body and the public in Memorial Hall
at 10.30 o'clock. The hall was well
filled and Dr. Grenfell held the at-
tention of his audience very closely
with the explanation of his work in
Labrador.
President Sills introduced Dr. Gren-
fell. In his speech of introduction he
emphasized two facts; first, that at
the present time Dr. Grenfell is rais-
ing an endowment fund of $1,500,000
214
BOWDOIN ORIENT
for his work in Labrador and, second,
that his work has always made a par-
ticular appeal to Bowdoin students,
many of whom have been with him
after their graduation.
Dr Grenfell, who has spoken here
before, explained his work and the
conditions in Labrador in a very in-
teresting manner. He said that life is
worth only what one puts into it and
that work is just as worthy and
deserving of praise here, as in the
North.
The history of his life as he told it
was unusually fine. He began the
practice of surgery in London but
soon came to the conclusion that he
would have a better opportunity
among people who needed a doctor
rather than among doctors who needed
a fee. And so he started a floating-
hospital for seamen along the Eng-
lish coast.
In 1901 he sailed for America and
reached land at Labrador. He de-
scribed vividly the conditions there
and the great needs of the people, how
poor and ignorant they were although
they could go into the forest and
come out with a schooner while a more
civilized person would come out with
a coffin. He told of the work of estab-
lishing the first two hospitals in the
country and how today there are six
hospitals in all.
He said that the appearance of
machinery in a community is to be re-
gretted for it lessens the physical
power and desire of men to work. And
since he has been in Labrador for 28
years he has had a fine opportunity to
watch these conditions.
The establishment of an institute
for men returning from sea, the send-
ing of boys and girls to schools and
colleges in New England, the pro-
curing of proper food to prevent
diseases among the natives, and his
work during the war, were all dis-
cussed by Dr. Grenfell.
He gave his definition of religious
service thus: "To do what we think
Christ would do if he were in out-
place." And he said that only by this
religious service would one find the
enduring pleasure of life.
At present Dr. Grenfell is endeavor-
ing to raise a yearly budget of $8,000.
It is for this purpose that he is tour-
ing the country and Bowdoin was in-
deed fortunate in hearing him describe
his life and work in Labrador.

conditions of a hill and dale run. The
rain of a few days before had left the
course firm and resilient, yet not wet
enough to be troublesome, while the
bracing air, keen and exhilirating be-
neath the overcast sky, lent the finish-
ing touch to keep the harriers on
edge.
3-1 Odds On Maine.
Maine was a pronounced favorite
at the start, her supporters placing
three to one odds for first place, and
substantial odds that three of the first
six runners would wear the university
blue. The up-state team, confident of I
running the rest of the pack off its
feet, dashed across the field at a ter-
rific pace as the pistol cracked, but
proved unable to hold the gait. The
Bates delegation, leaving the field at
the edge of the pack, gradually worked
its way behind the Buker brothers
towards where George Goodwin and
Bill Hart were showing the others
their heels, and when, at the top of
the mid-course hill, George was strick-
en with cramps and obliged to drop
back, the Buker boys forged into the
lead which they held to an easy finish.
The judges awarded first place "by
three inches" to Raymond Buker, the
winner of last year's race.
Hart Finishes After Buker Brothers.
These phenomenal twins jogged
down the stretch nearly a half lap
ahead of Bill Hart, the next man to
finish, and broke the tape together
just twenty-seven minutes, twenty-one
and two-fifths seconds after the start.
Hart was some twenty-five seconds
later, striding into a fighting finish
ahead of Kane, a third Bates man,
who tried hard to reach the long
legged Bowdoin man. Mercer of
Colby followed, then Perkins of Bates.
Goodwin, struggling gamely in spite
of the pain of his cramps fought Bat-
ten of Bates all around the final lap
for seventh place and took it. Batten
was followed by his team-mate, Clif-
ford, who was far ahead of Mayo, the
second Colby runner.
Maine Outfit Bunched at Finish.
Six Maine men followed in close
succession, among them the much
touted Raymond, who had been ex-
pected to be among the first three.
Williams of Colby came just ahead of
three Bowdoin representatives, Hatch,
Towle, and Renier.
Bates, with first, second, fourth, and
eighth places took the meet with a
total score of twenty-one points. By
bunching her men between eleventh
and fifteenth places, Maine took sec-
ond with sixty-five points, a scant two
ahead of the home team whom they
had fully expected to swamp. Colby
held the remaining seventy-five points.
The general opinion was that the
time might easily have been bettered
by nearly a minute had the Bukers
chosen to uncork a little speed, but
the time was sufficiently fast as it
was to make a good mark and every-
body agreed that Bates had won in a
game, hard race.
The officials were as follows:
Starter and referee, William
O'Connell, Portland A. C. Judges, J.
S. Brooks, Maine; Professor L. E.
Pomeroy, Bates; Professor H. C. Bell,
Bowdoin; and Reginald Sturtevant,

Biology Club Meeting
Last Thursday night, the Biology
Club held its second meeting of the
year, at the Delta Kappa Epsilon
house. Cook '21, president of the
club, had charge of the meeting.
Seven new men were initiated into the
club: M. F. Ridlon '21, W. R. Brewer
'22, G. L. True, Jr., '22, E. B. Ham '22,
L. I. McLellan '23, H. C. Reed '23, and
C. W. Robinson '23.
After the initiations Anderson '21
was elected secretary-treasurer to suc-
ceed Nixon '21 who had resigned.
Thompson '22 was elected .'sergeant-
at-arms.'
Prospects and plans for the year
were discussed, particularly a number
of excellent field trips to various
places near Brunswick. Professor
Copeland and Dr. Gross are hoping to
have a trip sometime this month.
Names of prospective members were
voted on and accepted.
After the regular meeting had been
completed, refreshments were served,
and there was informal discussion of
the field trips and other affairs of the
club.
IBIS MEETING
On Tuesday night, November 2, the
Ibis was entertained at the Zeta Psi
house. Professors Bell, Cram, and
Elliott were present. There was a
short business session, at which the
constitutional purpose of the society
was discussed. It was voted to main-
tain the original aim of the society,
which places membership and ac-
tivity on a basis of intellectual attain-
ment in any field. Hatch '21 was
elected a member.
At the next meeting, which will be
held November 16, at the Psi Upsilon
house, Helson '21 will read a paper
on "Methods of Testing Intelligence."
The Maine Game Rally
A splendid rally, full of pep, en-
thusiasm and high spirits was held
in Memorial Hall on the ,eve of the
battle for the football championship
of Maine. Not once this year has old
"Mem" Hall seen the crowd that as-
sembled for this all-important occas-
sion. The fellows lifted the roof with
cheers, the band crashed out Old Bow-
doin's songs, and a list of speakers
carried Bowdoin spirit so high that
it was predominant throughout the
game on the following day.
John Young, as usual presided, and
addressed the students in his very
characteristic manner: "Men! We're
on the eve of our biggest game, and
we've got to win — that's all there is to
it! This is the game you've been
looking forward to all the year, and
some of us have been looking forward
longer than that — two, or three, or
four years. And men! you've got to
show some sure enough pep now,
we've got to win. Punch your room-
mate, drink some cider, do anything
but show some fight! Now men,
Maine is coming down here and
they're going to Portland after the
game, and men, we're going to send
them — beaten! We've got to win!
That's all there is to it!"
"Larry" Wilson, the next speaker,
told how the team had been taken
away to rest for the game. He
promised the men that the team would
put all it had in the morrow's game,
and asked them to put all they had in
their cheering and stand back of the
team.
Following "Larry" was Professor
Bell, who said that although the bear
had lost several teeth, including those
the faculty dentist had pulled, that
bear kept right on going and was
bound to get the Maine elephant the
next day. He also told of the fine
spirit of the old clays when the game
was followed up with a torch-light
procession, in which the students
visited each player and cheered him,
finally ending up in the middle of the
night at the President's house when
they obliged the President to come out
on his steps and address them. He
told of the way the student body ac-
companied its team t'o the station
when they went away to play a game,
and the way the students met the
team when it returned from a game.
He suggested that these customs
might well be revived.
Jack Magee, who had just returned
from taking the team away for the
night, was the next speaker. He re-
marked how luck had been against
the Bowdoin team the entire season,
as in the case of the extraordinary
forward pass of the Bates game,
which had been called off on a vague
technical ruling. He then went on
telling the men that if ever they saw
a football game they would see it on
the morrow, that just as the Maine
cross country team was unable to win,
neither would the football team win.
He promised that every man on the
Bowdoin team would fight, fight, fight,
till the last whistle blew. "There is
not a quitter on the team," he said,
"Quitter? I wouldn't give a picayune
for a quitter!" he cried, accompanying
it with a contemptuous snap of his
finger.
Captain Archie Dostie '20 of last
year's team, the next speaker, said
that although he knew little of this
year's eleven, he knew that every man
on it had the Bowdoin spirit of hard
fighting, which was all they needed
for success.
Coach Greene was the last speaker.
He urged the fellows not to criticise
the team, to back them up at all times
and to be careful what they said in
public concerning the team or its
chances. He expected Maine to start
the game — "over-confident," "sure of
winning," "a 2 to 1 favorite." The
coach wondered — "How do they get
that way?" Now the game is over,
more than one Bowdoin man repeats
that question.
Such was the rally before the finest
football game a Bowdoin team has
played in years.

Small '24 Leads Cross
Country Field, But E.
L. H. S. Wins On Points
Thursday the Freshman cross coun-
try team tasted defeat at the hands
of the Edward Little harriers, school-
boy champions of the State. Joe
Small, one of the coming distance
men in the Freshman class, led the
pack the whole way, setting a pace
that brought him in a scant winner
in twenty-three minutes, fourteen and
two fifths seconds. The other mem-
bers . of the White team bunched be-
hind Small and ahead of the high
school men for nearly half the course
but the Edward Little men seemed to
have a shade on the home team in
the line of endurance and finally
grouped four men behind the winner.
Hamilton, a Freshman, who has been
showing rather well in trials, would
doubtless have been well in the fore
had he not suffered from cramps
which so affected him that he finished
his trip across the campus and around
the track in a sort of stupor, stagger-
ing in to the tape completely ex-
hausted. The other men finished much
stronger, but none gave less than his
best.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
217
Small had a hard fight to pass
Robertson at the head of the stretch
as the two men sprinted the whole
final lap but Robertson was forced to
take second some four yards behind
the Bowdoin runner. Stronach fol-
lowed close behind and Hooper and
C. Small of Edward Little came in
nearly a lap behind him. Fernald the
second Bowdoin runner, beat Bennett
by a few yards and Weymouth,
Lavigne, and Hamilton strung in soon
after. Hayes and Cobb finished in the
next two positions.
The score was, Edward Little 21;
Bowdoin Freshmen 34. Time, 23
minutes, 14 2-5 seconds.
CONFIDENT MAINE
TURNED BACK
(Continued from page 213)
There were thrills aplenty for the
5,000 onlookers who thronged Whittier
Feld. The whole Bowdoin team did
excellent work throughout the game,
Turner, Smith, Parent, Al Morrell,
Dudgeon, Woodbury, and Miller being
the most noteworthy stars. Turner
played a remarkably plucky game, be-
ing especially strong at line bucking
and end runs. He was by far the best
defensive backfield man in the game.
Smith piloted his team through more
than three-quarters of the game in
splendid fashion. His generalship and
all-round work aided in Bowdoin's suc-
cess to a great extent. Al Morrell
drew many rounds of applause from
the Bowdoin followers by his long
spiral punts, some of which went for
sixty yards and more. On all of his
punts the line held so well that the
ends rarely had difficulty in nailing
the Maine backs after very short run-
backs. Captain Dudgeon never let a
man get by him when plays were di-
rected at his position. Woodbury's
brilliant passes, particularly the one
that gave Bowdoin its score, together
with his end runs, made him one of
the most prominent figures on the
field. Miller played an unusually fast
game at right end, and his showing
was all the more creditable in that he
has always played in the backfield
hitherto. His getting into nearly every
play caused not a little comment from
the stands.
For Maine the big stars were Small,
Ginsberg, and Hussey. Small made
many long gains, particularly his 18-
yard sprint to a touchdown. The light
quarterback, Ginsberg, played a heady,
scrappy game throughout, which was
worthy of a great deal of credit. Hus-
sey, the powerful guard, was a tower
of strength in the line, — easily Maine's
best defensive player.
After Parent went into the game,
Al Morrell completed a long forward
to him, which he fumbled upon being
thrown to the ground hard by the
Maine defence. Mason picked up the
ball and ran the rest of the way to a
touchdown. The play was cancelled
by the referee, who decided that
Parent had started down the field be-
fore the play began.
The most brilliant run of the game
came early in the third quarter when
Small of Maine broke away around
the end and slipped through the en-
tire Bowdoin team for a touchdown.
The play started on Maine's 19-yard
line. A number of Bowdoin backs,
headed by Miller, chased the Maine
man in vain for over fifty yards.
After Maine's touchdown Parent re-
covered a Maine fumble on his 25-
yard line, and ran some fifty odd yards
down the field, only to have the referee
once more call the ball back for an
off-side penalty. By this time the
Bowdoin supporters would have
needed but little prodding to go onto
the field. The referee was probably
fair enough, but his decisions certainly
hit Bowdoin at the worst possible
times.
On the fourth down and the goal
line to go, Woodbury threw a beauti-
ful pass over the cross-bar to Parent,
who was standing ready to receive
the ball some yards behind the line.
It was the first time since the first
game of the season that that play
had been used and, as Coach Greene
said, was the only play that would
have accomplished the desired result.
This is only one example of Wood-
bury's generalship, and he should be
highly praised for using it at a mo-
ment when so much depended on ex-
actly the right play.
First Period.
Roemer kicked off for Maine. It
was a poor kick. The ball went
scarcely eight yards, and was fumbled.
It was Maine's ball on the 48-yard line.
Smith made five yards off tackle.
Small, Maine's speedy backfield man
ripped off four yards more around
Bowdoin's right end. Captain Smith
pushed the ball over for first down.
Al Morrell Intercepts Pass.
Small made four yards and Smith
added two more. An attempted pass
by Ginsberg was intercepted by Al
Morrell. It was Bowdoin's ball on the
40-yard line. Smith made four yards
through tackle. Turner made two
more and then Morrell kicked. Gins-
berg was downed with the ball on his
own . 45-yard line. Foster went
through for four yards. Smith could
not make more than three. Small
made another attempt, and was
thrown for a 1-yard loss. Bowdoin's
line was a stonewall defence. Small
punted.
Morrell Goes Around for 15 Yards.
"Pick" Turner ran the kick back for
ten yards. He was downed amongst a
heap of blue-jerseyed players on his
own 30-yard line. Morrell took the
pigskin and skirted Maine's left end
for fifteen yards. It was a pretty
play, but the gain went for nothing
when Bowdoin was penalized fifteen
yards for holding. Smith was tackled
for no gain on the next play. Morrell
pulled off a beautiful punt that skim-
med through the air for 45 yards.
Ginsberg received the ball and was
downed before he had taken three
steps.
Good Gains By Foster and Small.
Foster made four yards off tackle.
Smith squirmed through for three
yards more. Maine was penalized
fifteen yards for holding. The ball
was now on the 20-yard line, but
Foster tore eleven yards off around
Bowdoin's left end before he was
downed. Small went around the other
end for ten yards more. He again
took the ball and pushed it over for
first down on the 43-yard line. Smith
added four yards on a center plunge.
Maine tried it again, but Small could
not make more than two yards. Gins-
berg's forward was incomplete. Bow-
doin was penalized five yards for off
side.
Bowdoin Holds Firm at Critical
Moment.
Foster made four yards, bringing
the ball to Bowdoin's 18-yard line.
Foster took the ball again, but could

"ON to Portland."
A certain item in "The Maine
Campus" received considerable pub-
licity on the Bowdoin campus by be-
ing pasted on the chapel bulletin
board. The slogan of the article re-
ferred to was "On to Portland"; this
expression to be used in connection
with an anticipated victory over the
White last Saturday. The Maine fol-
lowers evidently expected an easy
victory over a light and less confident
team.
It gives the editor considerable
pleasure to emphasize the fact that
Maine received a double setback as a
result of the week-end contests. In
the first place Maine's cross country
team was heralded as an easy winner
in the Maine Intercollegiate race over
the Brunswick course. Instead of
finishing a strong first the Maine run-
ners were lucky to find themselves a
poor second place. Maine's margin
over Bowdoin was but two points.
It was in Saturday's game, however,
that Maine came closest to losing her
laurels. Instead of running through
the Bowdoin aggregation at will as the
betting odds might have indicated,
Maine left the field after the first half
without a score. The Blue's success-
ful end run was followed by an at-
tack by the White that proved irre-
sistible and terminated in the beauti-
ful goal line pass from Woodbury to
Parent.
While Maine has technically an
edge on Bowdoin in both cross coun-
try and football, Bowdoin has the
right in each case to claim a moral
victory. In both contests Bowdoin en-
tered as the "under dog" and, in both,
she showed the traditional Bowdoin
"fight" that never says die. We are
confident that the most ardent of the
Maine supporters are sportsmen
enough to admit that they had no oc-
casion for the demonstration planned
in Portland. Their slogan had better
been — "Back to Orono."
Dr. Grenfell's Address.
Last Friday the College had the
privilege of listening to Dr. Grenfell
speak in Memorial Hall. Seldom have
Bowdoin men had the opportunity of
hearing such a distinguished figure in
the field of practical social service as
Dr. Grenfell. This sort of service is
the type that naturally appeals to the
average college man. In fact, Dr.
Grenfell observed in the course of his
talk that many of his assistants were
drawn from the ranks of American
universities and colleges. It is a sig-
nificant fact that Dr. Grenfell was a
student at Oxford, when he was in-
fluenced by a talk of Mr. Moody's to
make his life work that of a mission-
ary. From the pleasant picture that
the doctor drew of a life of such ser-
vice it is by no means unlikely that
at least one Bowdoin man may "go
and do likewise."
"By tieing Maine yesterday Bow-
doin practically won a moral victory.
She entered the game the under dog,
but by sheer fight outgamed Maine.
Maine individually was the stronger
team, but Bowdoin fought every inch
of ground and came back.
"That pass to Parent which tied up
the battle for Bowdoin was a peach
and had the Maine secondary de-
fence puzzled completely. There was
not a man within ten yards of the' tall
Bowdoin end when he caught the ball.
It was fourth down and about the only
play that Bowdoin had a chance tc
use and the Maine secondary defence
was caught off guard." — Portland Sun-
day Telegram.
BASEBALL PROSPECTS
The final arrangements for the com-
pletion of the baseball schedule are
now being made and it is expected
that the final schedule will be in print
soon.
The Massachusetts trip is all settled.
The team will make the trip there to
play Wesleyan, Amherst, Trinity, and
Boston College.
The Southern trip is still pending.
Nothing definite can be said concern-
ing the games to be played as yet.
Tufts will play Bowdoin here on
Whittier Field. It should be a big at-
traction. And finally we will meet our
rival, Bates, on Ivy Day. There is a
fine schedule planned and it is hoped
that things will come along as ex-
pected. Here's to a successful base-
ball season.

The result of the preliminary re-
views shows the class of 1924 to have
far surpassed its predecessors of las;
year in the early scholastic efforts.
While last year the Freshman warn-
ings numbered thirty-four majors and
fifty-three minors, this year's class
has received only ten majors and
twenty-seven minors. Perhaps this
may be taken as good evidence that
the world is really improving.
Visitors were much in evidence dur-
ing the latter part of the week, the
three-fold attraction of the Edward
Little-Freshman race, the State cross
country meet, and the Maine game
proving a veritable magnet to bring
spectators from many parts of New
England.
There has been a record sale of
tickets for the Bowdoin-Maine game.
At one time there was a line extend-
ing out to the doors in the Gym.
There were adjourns in all 10.30
classes Friday to give the students a
chance to hear Dr. Grenfell at
Memorial Hall Friday morning.
A great deal of interest is being
shown in the approaching chess tour-
nament, the purpose of which is to
select a team to participate in a prob-
able Maine Intercollegiate Match. The
following have already given their
names as candidates: Blanchard '21,

BOWDOIN ORIENT
221
A visitor on the campus last week
found it necessary to inquire from
three fellows before he could learn
what the college publications are. Is
it possible that two out of every three
fellows do not know the "Orient" and
the "Quill"?
Blake Clark ex- '23 has been elected
president of his class and captain of
his class football team at Tufts.
Orville Orcutt ex-'23 has a position
in the confectionery business at Houl-
ton.
John Clair Minot '96, Sunday editor
of the "Boston Herald," was on the
campus last week.
Evidently a couple of members of
the entering class have been started
upon the wayward path already by
certain upper-classmen. Believing
that it was an old Bowdoin custom
for the members of the Freshman
class to ring the Universalist Church
bell on Hallowe'en night at 12.30, they
loyally did their part in attempting
to uphold the tradition. Chief Ed-
wards, however, failed to appreciate
their loyalty and probably because he
had just been awakened from slumber,
overtook them and conducted them to
the police station. According to the
"Brunswick Record," "their tears
melted his heart," however, and he
let them off with a stern reprimand
and a warning that their future con-
duct in college would be watched by
members of the force.
Workmen have been busy eliminat-
ing the traces of the numerical decor-
ations which the Freshmen placed on
the various benches and posts around
the campus.
"Peewee" Swinglehurst '23, who
broke his ankle in the Bates game a
week ago, and was for some days in
the hospital at Lewiston, is back on
the campus, walking on three legs in-
stead of two.
The benches between the dormitories
have received a new coat of paint
which improves their appearance
greatly.
A wireless club is being formed for
all men interested in such work. The
club will have the use of a sending
and receiving outfit in the Science
Building. All those seriously inter-
ested should attend the first meeting,
which will be held in the basement of
the Science Building Friday, Novem-
ber 12, at 7.30 p. m.

not gain. However Small took the ball
over for first down on the next scrim-
mage. He made two more yards off
tackle.
Bisson went in for "Mai" Morrell.
The ball was dangerously near Bow-
doin's line. But Foster found he was
bucking an adamantine wall when he
attempted to tear off a gain through
the line. Ginsberg attempted two for-
ward passes in succession but Bow-
doin men were everywhere and both
were incomplete. It was Bowdoin's
ball at last on the 30-yard line. Turner
went around Maine's right end for a
gain of seven yards. Bisson made it
first down when he added six more
around the other end. Al Morrell
tried an end run but was downed be-
fore he could make more than two
yards.
Morrell's Splendid 60-yard Punt.
Turner was caught behind the line
and thrown for a 5-yard loss. Al Mor-
rell kicked the prettiest punt seen on
Whittier Field for many a day when
he booted the pigskin for a total of
sixty yards. Ginsberg received the
ball. He was brought to earth im-
mediately. Small was unable to gain
around left end. Foster made one
yard. Ginsberg made three yards
through center. Small tore off 7 yards
for first down. He added two more
on the next play. The period ended
with the ball in Maine's possession on
her own 40-yard line.
Second Period.
Smith started this period with an
end run, reeling off six yards. Gins-
berg could only make two. Both
Foster and Small tried to gain, but
Bowdoin's line was not to be pierced.
Turner Smashes Line Superbly.
Small was forced to kick. Turner
received on the 15-yard line. He
crashed through Maine's defence for
eight yards. Joe Smith could not
gain. Bisson carried the ball three
yards for first down. Smith made two
yards off tackle. Turner took the ball
around the end on a sprint and reeled
off seventeen yards before a Maine
man could tackle him. Morrell made
one yard on a center plunge. Joe
Smith reeled off ten yards on a fast
end run. Bisson fumbled the ball, and
Maine took possession of it.
Maine Unable To Gain Consistently.
Foster made three yards off tackle,
but his team was penalized three
yards because the coach was on the
field. Captain Smith went around for
five yards on an end play and Foster
made four more. Small pushed
through tackle for four yards, and
took the pigskin on the next play, but
was stopped in short order before he
could gain. Bowdoin spoiled a forward
pass, after which Maine was penalized
five yards for off-side. Small punted
to Bowdoin's 12-yard line, where
Turner received it and ran off-side in
running it back. Jordan went in for
Roemer. Smith made one yard
through Maine's line. Turner carried
the ball through for first down. Al
Morrell made four yards around right
end. Joe Smith placed the oval two
yards further on in the next play.
Ginsberg Runs Punt Back 20 Yards.
Morrell punted. The ball skimmed
through the ether for forty-five yards

BOWDOIN ORIENT
before Ginsberg gathered it in. Foster
gained three yards. Kirkpatrick went
in for Bisson. Smith on the next two
plays could total only three yards and
Small kicked the ball over the goal
line, making it Bowdoin's ball on the
20-yard line. Turner crashed through
for three yards. Kirkpatrick was sent
around Maine's left end but was
downed when he had made two yards.
Morrell got off a rather poor punt,
which Ginsberg ran back twenty yards
before Bowdoin's linesmen fell on him.
Young went in for Finnegan. Small
could not break through for more than
two yards. Ginsberg attempted a for-
ward, but it was incomplete. Small
tore through on a center plunge foi
three yards. Another forward was
incomplete and it was Bowdoin's ball
on the 41-yard line. The White's de-
fenders attempted some aerial work
but Small intercepted the pass, and
Ginsberg made three yards in the fol-
lowing scrimmage. Maine attempted
another forward which was spoiled by
Turner. The whistle blew, with Maine
in possession of the ball on her own
45-yard line.
Third Period.
The second half started with the
Bowdoin lineup unchanged but with
two changes in the Maine assortment.
Roemer was back at his old position,
replacing Jordan, and Tinker for
Young at left end.
The teams lined up for Bowdoin's
kick-off, a fine soaring kick that drop-
ped into the hands of the waiting
Foster on the 20-yard line. He ran
it back to the 35-yard line before the
defenders connected with him. Cap-
tain Smith then started to plough
through the Bowdoin center, but his
first play netted only a 5-yard penalty
for off-side, putting Maine back on
the 30-yard mark. Smith's second at-
tempt regained only a yard and Gins-
berg sent Small around left end where
Al Morrell dragged him to earth after
a 3-yard gain, which Foster followed
with a yard around right end. Small
dropped back to punt and spiralled
it neatly down to the 25 -yard line
where it eluded Pick Turner's grasp
to be captured by Tinker, the Maine
end.
Dudgeon Breaks Through and Stops
Touchdown.
After a futile line buck, Smith and
Small in two plunges made first down,
then Foster tried again only to be
stopped on the scrimmage line with-
out a gain. Then after Smith and
Foster had brought the ball down to
the 3-yard line Ginsberg decided to
change tactics, sending Foster on a
long circuit of the right wing. He
never got there, for Captain Dudgeon,
tearing through the Blue line, grabbed
the Maine back and ran him back
seven yards before the ball was
clowned. Ginsberg's attempted for-
ward pass went for naught and Bow-
doin took the pigskin under the
shadow of her own goal posts. Al
Morrell immediately booted the
leather out of danger, Ginsberg bear-
ing it to the mid-field chalk. Smith's
drive at center brought in two yards
but when Small started over towards
the Bowdoin left wing Perry dropped
him without a gain. Again Small
tried in vain, then tossed the ball to
Smith who promptly went down with
a 15-yard gain.
The next play looked more like
hand ball than football as the ball
bounced all over the line finally land-
ing in Bowdoin arms on the 15-yard
mark. Mai Morrell made four yards
in a dash through the Maine left and
Turner followed with eight yards
through center. Time was allowed to
restore Pick's equilibrium and in the
meanwhile the ball went fifteen yards
nearer the Maine goal as a penalty
for Maine's holding. With the ball
on the 42-yard line the prospects were
brightening. Turner made a yard
through center, then Joe Smith trotted
through the same gap for gains of
three and four yards. Al's punt went
down on the Maine 10-yard line where
Smith and Small in three rushes ad-
vanced only five yards.
Bowdoin's Touchdown Cancelled.
Small punted to the Bowdoin 40-
yard scratch where Joe Smith caught
it and advanced to the 45-yard line.
The next play will go down in the
state's athletic history as one of the
most unlucky deals in Maine football.
Bill Parent dashed around to the right
wing, behind the line, at the signal.
Al Morrell, well behind the line,
hurled the ovoid to Bill, now some
twenty yards away. Parent dashed on
a few yards, stumbled and lost the
ball, but Mason was on it in a flash
and almost as soon was over the goal
line for what seemed to be and should
have been a touchdown. The referee
allowed a claim that Parent, in run-
ning behind the line of scrimmage
before the ball was snapped, was off-
side, and the ball came back to mid-
field. Al Morrell sprinted around left
end for five yards only to lose his
gain and five yards more as an off-
side penalty.
Needless to say, the Bowdoin fight-
ing spirit was immediately roused to
the highest pitch and in the next play
Al made the same tactics yield him
seven yards while the younger Mor-
rell circled the right end for two
yards, but when Al tossed a forward
pass in the next attempt the wiry Blue
quarterback speared it and ran it back
eight yards to the 30-yard line.
Fourth Period.
Smith's first try at center made five
yards which were nullified by a 5-yard
off-side penalty.
Small's 81-yard Dash to Score.
With the ball on Maine's 19-yard
line the ball went back to Small, who,
with a splendid interference swamp-
ing a path for him dashed eighty-one
yards to the goal. While the Maine
bleachers rocked beneath the tumult of
applause, Pat Hussey kicked the goal
and the tally stood; Maine 7, Bowdoin
0.
Joe Smith's 30-yard Run Back.
McCurdy went in for Guptill as the
teams lined up for the kick off. Joe
Smith caught the pigskin on the 5-
yard line and dodged through the field
thirty yards before he was dropped
fifteen yards from mid-field. The first
play attempted' was an aerial which
Small intercepted and carried to the
23-yard line.
Parent's 45-yard Run on Fumble
Nullified.
The next play was mussed and as
the snap back rolled from the Maine
back's hands Parent swooped down on
it and bore it in a mad flight forty-
five- yards to the Maine 30-yard

scratch. Again the powers that be
ruled that Bowdoin had no right to
the ball and the White team went
back to the line more full of fight than
ever.
Bowdoin's 77-yard March to Touch-
down.
The defence stiffened so that no
gains were made in three attempts
before Ginsberg tossed a pass straight
to McCurdy who was landed on the
Bowdoin 23-yard line. Woodbury
went in for Smith at the helm and
promptly romped around the Blue
right for five yards which Turner
followed by making first down. Al
Morrell, not to be outdone, dashed
around the Maine extremity for nine
more, then, after a time out to bring
Al back to usefulness and after a yard
loss Woodbury made the distance.
"Pick" Turner took the left detour for
three then shifted to the right for four
more and Woodbury followed in the
latter groove for first down. Dazzling
the Maine men by a quick shift to the
left tackle the speedy quarter made
another eight yards and the second try
made the distance. With the ball now
in striking distance of the goal Dahl-
gren, the sensation of last season,
came in to replace Mai Morrell and
took an off tackle play through for
two yards.
Woodbury's Forward Over the Cross-
Bar.
The next play, an attempt at the
right extreme, lost two yards but an
off-side penalty on Maine brought the
ball down to the 7-yard mark.
"Dumpy" carried the leather five
yards to the 2-yard line but Bowdoin
was again penalized ten yards. Two
rushes made six yards, then Wood-
bury signalled a short pass, and as
the ball was snapped Parent went
down beyond the goal posts and re-
ceived the quarterback's pass for a
touchdown that was adjudged legal.
The earth fairly shook with the ap-
plause of the Bowdoin supporters as
Mason booted a perfect goal and tied
the score.
Captain Smith received the kick-off,
bringing it up to the 35-yard mark.
Then Small banged the line for four
and Foster sprinted around the Bow-
doin wing for a good first down. The
gain was too much for Blue nerves
as the ball was fumbled on the next
play and went to Bowdoin. Wood-
bury made four yards in two attempts
and then, after unsuccessfully trying
a forward, Al Morrell tried a goal
from field, kicking from near mid-field.
Maine retrieved the ball on the 20-
yard line where she stayed for three
downs, finally punting to Woodbury
on the mid-field line as the whistle
blew. The last part of the period was
played in semi-darkness.

ARMISTICE DAY
CHAPEL SERVICE
Address by Lt. Robert Hale '10.
A special service was held at chapel
in commemoration of Armistice Day.
Professor Mitchell presided and the
address was delivered by Lieut.
Robert Hale '10, of Portland, who
served with distinction in France,
Germany, and Russia during and after
the war. His address in part is as
follows :
Other anniversaries which we are
accustomed to observe commemorate
events beyond our memories — beyond
the memory of any living men. And
so it results that to many of us the
tradition of the commemoration is apt
to be more vivid than the event which
we commemorate.
But with Armistice Day it is dif-
ferent. The intervening years have
not dimmed our memories. I suppose
they can never dim the memories of
those who are here. To each one of
you the day evokes some particular

Splendid Offer From
General Education Board
President Sills announced in chapel
Monday morning of this week that
the General Education Board, of New
York City, had expressed its willing-
ness to give to Bowdoin College to-
ward additional endowment, the in-
come to be used for the increase of
teachers' salaries, the sum of $150,000
toward $600,000 for endowment, and
that it had also voted a grant to the
college of $7,500 a year for the next
three years, as the equivalent of the
income of the fund. The President
stated that later on an announcement
would be made as to the time required
for the raising of the supplemental
sum; but that the work that had been
started through the Alumni Fund
would be continued. It is the object
of that fund to secure a large number
of small gifts for the current ex-
penses of the college and a small num-
ber of larger gifts for the permanent
endowment. For the latter purpose
the gifts and pledges amount already
to about $100,000.
FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE
DEBATE
Trials for the Freshman-Sophomore
debate were held in the debating room
November 8. The Freshman team is
composed of George E. Hill, Donald
W. MacKinnon, and Clarence D. Rouil-
lard, with Glenn W. Gray as alternate.
The Sophomore team is composed of
Theodore W. Cousens, Clifford O.
Small, and Leo A. Daviau, with Roy
M. Fitzmorris as alternate. The de-
bate will be held December 6. The
subject is : "Resolved, That before the
next Presidential election a method of
direct voting shall be substituted for
that of the electoral college."
Amendment To
A. S. B. C. By-Laws
Tomorrow afternoon (Thursday)
from one to five the members of the
A. S. B.'C. will vote on an amend-
ment to the by-laws. The proposed
amendment reads as follows: "In all
major and minor sports three candi-
dates for assistant managership shall
be nominated from the candidates
trying out; the two receiving the high-
est number of votes shall be declared
assistant managers and shall so serve
for one year. The two assistant man-
agers shall be nominated and voted
on for manager the succeeding year."
This proposal has the unanimous
approval of the members of the stu-
dent council. It is the method em-
ployed at a number of colleges where
it has been successful,
West Point Crushes
Bowdoin 90-0
Bowdoin Team Helpless Before Power-
ful Army Eleven — Record Score for
Winners — French and Smythe Star.
Bowdoin realizes now how Governor
Cox felt after the election returns had
drifted in. An irresistible landslide
hit the Bowdoin warriors last Satur-
day in the shape of the West Point
football team. The soldiers rolled up
thirteen touchdowns and missed but
one of the goals for a final count of
90-0. There was a touchdown scored
almost every four minutes, through-
out the game. Bowdoin has never
been so heavily scored upon in its
history, nor has West Point ever
totalled such a score. Bowdoin had
very little hope at any time during
the game, its farthest advance being
to its own 35-yard line.
The game was featured by the long
runs of French. One of his dashes
for a touchdown was an 80-yard run,
230
BOWDOIN ORIENT
and two others were 65-yard sprints.
He was in the game but little. The
Army coaches used him only during
a part of two periods, in which the
former Rutgers back flashed these
several long runs for scores. In the
third period, after his second touch-
down, he duplicated his 65-yard dash,
but was called back for holding,
whereupon he went through on the
next play for his third tally.
Smythe, a heavy, aggressive back,
also did good work, scoring three
touchdowns. Mulligan's line play
stood out among the features of the
game. He blocked one of Bowdoin's
punts and fell on the ball for an Army
touchdown.
The Cadets used numerous substi-
tutes, putting in their third and fourth
string men for the final quarter.

History Club Meeting
Last Thursday evening the History
Club met with Professor Bell and Pro-
fessor Van Cleve to organize and to
make plans for this year. There arc
three members from last year's group
L. H. Hatch '21, G. 0. Prout '21, and
R. Toyokawa '21. Five new men were
elected to the club: P. R. Lovell.'21,
Alexander Thomson '21, M. A. Eld-
ridge '22, H. F. Simpson '22, and C. S.
Towle '22. The number of members
is limited to eight men, five seniors
and three juniors.
This year the club plans to follow
the scheme of last year except in one
respect. At each meeting there is to
be a paper by one of the members re-
garding some prominent figure in his-
tory. Last year these prominent men
were selected from any period of his-
tory, but this year they will be chosen
entirely from the time of the French
Revolution. In this way the papers
and discussions of different evenings
will supplement each other very much
more than before.
Dean Nixon Speaks for
the Placement Committee
Tuesday evening, November 9,
members of the Senior and Junior
classes filled the debating room in
Hubbard Hall to capacity when Dean
Nixon gave a talk on the work of
the Placement Committee. The Dean
spoke in his usual interesting man-
ner, outlining the organization and
purpose of this important alumni
body The organization has the sim-
plicity which goes hand in hand with
greatest effectiveness. Alumni in
each of the larger lines of endeavor,
both professional and commercial, are
continually on the watch for openings
for graduates. On finding opportuni-
ties these men notify the central com-
mittee which has on file the names,
preferences and records of all men
who apply for situations through the
committee. It is then the duty of the
committee to suit the job to the man
and vice versa, a task which, success-
fully effected, cannot but add to the
fame and credit of Bowdoin. The up-
per-classmen seemed very much inter-
ested in the proposition.
Public Lectures
By the Faculty
In response to a request for inform-
ing talks which shall be open to the
public, a series of lectures will be pro-
vided on certain Sunday afternoons by
members of the faculty. It is in-
tended that these lectures, while
necessarily on technical topics shall be
popular in form. Each lecture, unless
otherwise announced, will be given in
the Court room beginning at 3.30 p. m.
The first lecture of the series will be
by Professor Hormell on "Popular
Government and Political Parties," on
November 28.

association. To some of you there
comes the memory of the silence after
fifty-one months of cannonade.
Others of you think of the moment
when the bugles sounded recall after
morning drill and the company fell
into formation and the message came
from the major down through the
Company Commanders to the whole
battalion. You see that long line of
steel helmets covering heads that were
thinking nothing but soft thoughts
of home. You remember the
French peasant women who cried out
to you as your company marched by
"Finie la Guerre" or "Vivent les
Americains." You remember the old
lady at your billet who wept and got
out her best cognac and thanked you
in a choking voice that made you feel
ashamed. You remember the hilarity
of a Paris cafe, or the horns and
whistles and firebells of some New
England village. Yes, these and a
thousand other memories make armis-
tice clay for you. You need no spokes-
man to come and interpret the mean-
ing of it. It is written on your hearts.
And yet it is fitting that the day be
publicly remembered and even that we
try to formulate its meaning. The
armistice closed the war and ushered
in peace. Today we pay our homage
to those who fell, and reconsecrate
ourselves to the responsibilities of
those who survived. To them the
glory; to us the burden.
So they live transfigured and we
return to take up the old life, the
romance and the glamour largely
BOWDOIN ORIENT
gone. The bright eyes of danger have
lost their lustre. We have regained
old liberties that we feared might
never come again. We thank God in
all reverence that the war is over.
And yet there are things we miss.
We miss that spacious companionship
of strong youth, that almost world-
wide unity of purpose that made us
something more than kin to Cossack
Horsemen on the Polish plain, to the
firemen in some stifling stokehold be-
tween Iceland and the Hebrides, to
the Britishers who thirsted before
Kut and Bagdad and Jerusalem. We
miss the consecration of life to one
great end, the ordered effort toward
a common goal, the exemption from
the why and wherefore in simple
obedience, and carrying on, the sub-
mergence of self and the exaltation
of country and the everlasting job.
Life is aDt to seem stale and profitless
after the great adventure; issues ap-
pear trivial; individuals with their
ailments, their small desires and petty
ambitions seem ridiculous. Things
that appeared once momentous we de-
spise. Classrooms I am sure have to
some of you assumed the guise of a
childish punishment. A man who has
commanded a battery or a company
in France had perhaps as soon play
dolls as go to lectures, and write ex-
aminations and take a college degree.
He has already as he things gradu-
ated at a greater university.
This is right in its way. It would
have been wrong if war had not
stirred us to the depths, had not
wrenched us from our small content-
ments and wrested from us the last
vestige of our complacency. It should
have taught us to despise pettiness,
and abhor self seeking. But it should
teach us too that we need discipline
to preserve peace and order as well
as to wage war. For every hour on
the battlefield, most of us did days of
squads right and squads left, squads
right about and squads left about un-
til we thought the heavens were
bounded by the Infantry Drill Regu-
lations, that wars were fought "by
the numbers," and that life all mili-
tary was an idiotic piece of formalism.
And yet for most of you the time
came even if it was not on the battle-
field, when you saw the reason and
inevitableness of it all. And you in
your turn set other men to doing
squads left and squads right and
squads right about and squads left
about.
Let us take this lesson back to the
college and the university. These are
the great training camps whence are
to come our citizens and never has
the world needed more than today
steady, trained, thinking minds. Let
us guard the vision we have had of
great ideals, let us cherish the memory
of great events. Many of you can
bless God and say "Quorum pars fui."
Let us remember however that victory
seldom comes to the brave revolu-
tionaries but rather to the patient ad-
herents of duty even when they march
with a heavy pack in the rear rank.
You cannot avoid the humdrum. It
crops up in squads right, or the bi-
nomial theorem or the second aorist
optative or the office filing system.
What we cannot avoid let us there-
fore conquer. Our prayer must be for
the courage to face the commonplace
and the spirit to exalt it.
Revival of the Press Club
Last Wednesday there was a meet-
ing in the library for the purpose of
reviving the Press Club, which had
gone out of existence at Bowdoin in
1917 on account of the war. The pur-
pose of the club is precisely the same
as it was originally, "to give the pub-
lic the most accurate and consistent
news possible in regard to Bowdoin
College;" also, "to afford the college
press correspondents an opportunity
for co-operation."
The members of the club are Ed-
ward B. Ham '22 (chairman), Norman
W. Haines '21, Luke Halpin '21, Oliver
G. Hall '21, Virgil C. McGorrill '22,
and Carroll S. Towle '22.
Chess Tournament
The following pairings have been
drawn up for the fall chess tourna-
ment, in which the one winning the
best three out of five, excluding draw
games, has a decision:
Anderson '21, Strout '23.
Williams '21, R. T. Phillips '24.
Clymer '22, Bishop '23.
R. B. Phillips '24, Philbrick '23.
Houghton '21, Blanchard '21.
Additional entries may be made by
notifying Anderson '21 or Blanchard

Organization of
Mathematical Club
A week ago Monday the three
upper classes in the department of
Mathematics met with Professor
Moody and Professor Nowlan in
Adams Hall to discuss the formation
of a Mathematical Club, similar to
the Biology Club and other such
groups on the campus. It was voted
to organize, and a committee was ap-
pointed to draw up plans for the or-
ganization of the club.
In addition to this, Rogers '23 de-
scribed the methods of checking the
simple processes of multiplication and
division by casting out nines. His dis-
cussion was followed by informal talk
by the other members of the club.
At a second meeting held this week
Monday, officers were elected (too late
to have their names appear in this
issue of the "Orient") and further
plans were made. It is the purpose
of this club to have meetings fre-
quently during the year for informal
discussion of interesting aspects of
mathematics. Usually two or three
members will present definite prob-
lems or theories around which the
general discussion will be centered.
The members are: (From Mathe-
matics 7), Philip Pollay '21,
H. M. Springer '21, E. E.
White '21, P. D. Wilkins '21; (from
Mathematics 5), S. J. Ball '22, L.
Bernstein '22, S. S. Fish '22, E. B.
Ham '22, J. G. Merriam '21; (from
Mathematics 3), R. T. Bates '23, C.
W. Bean '23, S. W. Colburn '23, H. E.
Crawford '23, F. E. MacDonald '23, W.
0. Rogers '23, S. H. Stackhouse '23,
Roger Strout '23, E. N. Swinglehurst

One of our coming professors of
Political Science has discovered a new

elections in November. He says that
it is to be sure that rural voters have
finished haying.

The New Heating and
Lighting Station
[By Felix A. Burton '07]
The Building and Grounds Commit-
tee, President Sills, Professor Hutch
ins, Professor Mitchell, and Mr. Fur-
bish, treasurer, met on February 18th,
after the old combined Heating Sta-
tion and Union burned down, and de-
cided to rebuild the building as a heat-
ing station alone, "using as much of
the present wall as necessary. The
type of architecture to fit into the
landscape as well as possible."
Several sketches were received by
the committee, and those submitted by
Felix A. Burton '07 were adopted.
Working drawings were made and ap-
proved, and the contract for the con-
struction of the building awarded to
Leon Smith '10, of the firm of Black-
stone & Smith in Portland, on a cost
plus fixed sum basis.
The building was commenced
promptly July 7, and comv.1 ted Sep-
tember 24, just six months after the
committee selected the architect.
The work was a conspicuous ex-
ample of Bowdoin team work and co-
operation. Thanks to the efficiency
of the contractor and many savings
effected through the assistance of Mr.
Horace Litchfield, an employee of the
College, the total cost amounted to
some $6,000 less tha"n the price
originally estimated. This was ac-
complished at a time when many
building operations were being de-
layed through inability to procure
cement and other materials, and in
spite of the fact that unforseen ob-
stacles necessitated extra steel and
brick work.
The building is designed along the
lines of modern power and lighting
stations, having large steel sash win-
dows with ventilating sections. These
seven windows form the main motive
in the design, the cornice emphasizing
the appearance of strength recalling
the contour of the chimney top.
It might be well to note that this
old chimney is almost unique in Maine,
having been built by Mr. Charles E.
Hacker of Brunswick of moulded
brick made at the old brick yard near
the present golf links. The especially
noteworthy feature about the chimney
being the graceful entasis of the
shaft, and the fact that the top brick

courses are not merely corbelled out,
one row horizontally beyond the other,
but each brick is "rolled," that is to
say, the outside face of each brick
pitches outward slightly to conform
to the silhouette of the chimney. A
difficult thing to accomplish as the
spirit level could not be used to level
the bricks, and it was necessary to
lay them accurately against a form
pivoted about the center of the chim-
ney.
To those who remember the old
"coal mine" appearance of earlier
days, the interior now, spacious and
light, with wide spans of six course
row lock arches of Roman strength
framing each window, is even more
pleasing than the exterior.
The new heating station looks to-
ward the future — faces west.
Stand on the entrance platform just
inside the doors. At your left are
four water tube steam boilers of ap-
proximately 125 horsepower each,
easily capable of handling all present
demands of the college for heat and
light — not content with that, the col-
lege leaves space for two future
boilers.
In front of you is the coal supply
system, a narrow gage railroad with
coal car operating through a tunnel
directly from the coal pile to the
boiler fronts. A reserve coal supply
is provided for in a covered coal
pocket. All coal is weighed as it
enters the building. Again, this sys-
tem is so designed that eventually a
spur track may be run in for the
electric road on Harpswell street and
coal brought on a trestle directly
above the coal pile, and provision has
been made for a mechanical ash re-
moving device in the future.
On your right, the dynamos and en-
gine room with small locker room and
shower bath. Here is located the
main switch board controlling the
lighting in the main College buildings,
and emergency connection with the
town current. Ample room for a
future dynamo, and a plan for
gradually putting into underground
conduit, all the heavy overhead wires
which now disfigure and menace the
safety of the campus.
Below the engine room is a sub-
basement to be used as a repair shop,
giving easy access to the various
pumps and heat ducts which radiate
to the various buildings.
The roof is a "Barrett Specification"
tar and gravel roof, its future "guar-
anteed" for twenty years.
The construction in general is what
is known as "slow burning mill con-
struction," but so arranged that the
building may henceforward be con-
sidered fireproof.

was also captain and quarterback of
his class football team and in the
spring played at third throughout
every game on the varsity nine. He
has played the full season at varsity
quarterback this year and has un
doubtedly won his second letter in a
major sport.
Roger Strout of Brunswick went to
Brunswick High School for three
years after which he gained entrance
to Bowdoin without needing to finish
his preparatory course. He is a mem-

American Field
Service Fellowships
Twenty-five fellowships for the year
1921-22 of the value of $200 plus 10,-
000 francs, will be awarded by the
committee on American Field Service
Fellowships for French Universities.
President Sills, who is a member of
the advisory board for the award of
these fellowships, will be glad to dis-
cuss them with any student who may
be interested. To be eligible a candi-
date must be a citizen of the United
States, preferably between the ages of
twenty and thirty, a graduate of a col-
lege of recognized standing, and must
have a practical knowledge of French.
MANDOLIN CLUB ORGANIZED
The following twenty-eight men
have been selected for the first re-
hearsal of the Mandolin Club, from

But at Brunswick, 1 fear,
His bets cost him dear.

Entered at Post Offic
Second-Class Mail Matter.
It has been decided to omit the
issue of November 24, and to have the
next "Orient" appear on December 1.
In previous years the issue immediate-
ly after Thanksgiving has been
omitted, but it seems more practical
now to drop the one before, owing
to the fact that the vacation begins
at noon of the day when the "Orient"
comes out.
The Proposed System for Electing
Managers.
This week' the student body is to
decide upon a most radical change in
the A. S. B. C. by-laws. If this
measure is passed, in each sport there
will be two assistant managers from
whom one is to be elected manager.
There is little doubt that the new
system will bring about much more
efficient work on the part of all
aspirants for a managership. Now
there is only one assistant manager
in each sport, who is almost invariably
elected manager, merely as a matter
of course. This inevitably tends to
make the assistant manager careless
at least to some extent. Obviously
the new method will require both as-
sistant managers to live up to a much
higher standard in their departments.
Furthermore the manager will have
two men making earnest efforts in-
stead of one, who may or may not be
a conscientious worker.
Another advantage will be the prob-
ability of a larger number of fresh-
man candidates, owing to a consider-
ably stronger chance for a nomination.
The success of the scheme in other
colleges and its unanimous endorse-
ment by the student council are ad-
ditional reasons for favoring the
measure.
Some voters may think it more de-
sirable to have the system remain un-
changed, partly on account of its long
standing, but more because the suc-
cess or failure of a candidate is
definitely determined early in his col-
lege course. Further than this, there
appear to be no objections to the new
method.
In conclusion, the question to be de-
cided tomorrow is a choice between
the possible undesirability of post-
poning the real election of the
manager and doubled efficiency in the
management of every sport.
Communication
To the Editor of the "Orient":
The Intercollegiate Socialist Society
takes this opportunity through the
columns of your magazine, to issue a
challenge to the members of your
faculty or to prominent citizens of
your community to a debate on
Socialism. A number of well known
men and women have consented to
debate on the affirmative side of the
subject in the more prominent col-
leges of the country.
Socialism is one of the most import-
ant problems in the world today and
an understanding of its principles is
essential to an understanding of the
age in which we live. We feel that
one of the best ways to promote this
understanding among college men and
women is to give students an oppor-
tunity to hear the arguments for and
against Socialism presented from the
same platform. The debate, if possi-
ble, should be held in one of the large
halls on the campus.
The society will greatly appreciate
the assistance of all collegians in the
arrangement of a debate in your in-
stitution. All communications rela-
tive to the debate should be addressed
to the Intercollegiate Socialist Society,
70 Fifth avenue, New York City.
Very truly yours,
HARRY W. LAIDLER,
Secretary.
Editor's Note. — Although the work
of this society is endorsed by many
men of distinction, the "Orient" hard-
ly expects that the challenge will be
accepted by anyone at Bowdoin, par-
ticularly since there is grave doubt
as to the good that would come from
such a debate.
Orono Sentiment After
The Maine Game
Various articles and comments in
the "Maine Campus" of November 10
leave little doubt as to the reaction
of the Maine student body after the
tie game with Bowdoin. For the en-
tertainment of Bowdoin men the fol-
lowing selections are reprinted ver-
batim :
"The Campus representative could
not help from noticing the poor
sportsmanship that the Bowdoin en-
thusiasts showed when Maine had the
ball, by the continuous cheering and
the Bowdoin cheer-leader did not try
to stop them."
"Have you noticed the price of ad-
mission to Whittier Field?"
(From the cross-country write-up)
— "The student body may expect an
entirely different showing when the
team goes over a real cross-country
course at the New England's."
We note that Bates showed the way
to the Orono outfit again last Satur-
day.
(The entire editorial column) — "At
all games Maine has always had the
courtesy to reserve the best section
of the grandstand for the supporters
of the visiting team. And other col-
leges have done the same for Maine.
Whether it was mere numbness on
the part of the Bowdoin management
or an intended insult in not reserving
a section for the Maine supporters in
Saturday's game, we do not know.
But Bowdoin lost the respect of many
Maine followers thru the lack of
courtesy shown the visitors at Whit-
tier Field."
BOWDOIN ORIENT
The seating arrangement of the
Maine supporters was neither an in-
sult or the result of "numbness," but
merely the following out of an old
custom. Maine has always been
seated in this manner at Whittier
Field, just as Bates and Colby have
been. Bowdoin supporters have al-
ways had places, reserved for them in
bleachers either opposite or beside the
grandstands both at Bates and at
Colby. No complaints have ever been
received until this game and we fail
to see any reason for complaints now.
In the column headed "Looking
Back," Maine's victories over Bow-
doin one year ago and five years ago
are duly referred to, also the tie game
of 1910. What about twenty years
ago, when Bowdoin trimmed Colby
68-0, and Maine 38-0?

AllMaine Eleven
In spite of Saturday's disaster on
the gridiron, Bowdoin has the satis-
faction of placing five men on the
mythical All-Maine eleven, as selected
by the sport editor of the "Lewiston
Journal."
The following is the line-up of this
team:
Left end — Gibbons, Bowdoin.
Left tackle — Guiney, Bates.
Left guard — Stonier, Bates.
Centre — Enholme, Colby.
Right guard — Hussey, Maine.
Right tackle — Dudgeon, Bowdoin
(Captain).
Right end— Pulsifer, Colby.
Quarterback — Wiggin, Bates.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
Left half back — A. Morrell, Bow-
doin.
Right half back — Smith, Maine.
Full back — Turner, Bowdoin.
The write-up of the individual se-
lections contains some interesting
notes of the Bowdoin team, which are
printed below.
"Harold Dudgeon, the Bowdoin
captain, at right tackle, developed into
a tearing, slashing tackle. He made
an ideal leader for Bowdoin, a cool,
intelligent player who sized up things
about as they were. He'd make a
good captain for the phantom eleven.
He's equally good on defense and of-
fense.
"Replacements for the forwards are
not difficult to find.
"On the ends, Mickey Finnegan of
Maine, Stan Perry and Wilfred Par-
ent of Bowdoin and Gormley of Bates
would be valuable. Parent, probably
the most valuable of the lot, because
of his speed and reach on the tie-up
of a forward passing game. Parent
would have been considered and never
questioned for permanent end had he
developed his defense more.
"Al Morrell of Bowdoin kicked his
way to fame. He was the best punter
without question in Maine. He is a
wonderful forward passer and has the
faculty of throwing where the player
will be, borrowed from his baseball.
He carries the ball well, although not
rugged. He punts close to 45 yards.
In the Maine game he lifted one for
60 yards over scrimmage.
"Pick Turner of Bowdoin figured so
prominently in the" Bowdoin scoring
and defense in the three State games
that he could not fail to be nominated.
He is a power on defense, plugs the
line, runs the ends and is big.
"Backfield men in reserve would in-
clude Joe Smith and Woodbury of
According to the "London Sunday
Express," Hodson, the principal of
Brasenose College, Oxford, complained
of a student's repeated absence from
morning chapel.
"It's too late for me," said the stu-'
dent.
"Too late?" said the astonished
Hodson. "Seven o'clock is too late?"
"Well," said the student, "I'm a
man of regular habits. I can't sit up
till seven. Unless I'm in bed by four
or five I'm no good for the next day."
Bowdoin at quarter; Davis of Bates
at half; Small and Foster of Maine.
These men are fast, are likely to turn
tricks at any point in the game.
"Joe Smith and Woodbury are drop
kickers in addition.
"Dahlgren and Bisson of Bowdoin
through injuries did not appear often
enough and in condition good enough
to display their abilities. Newman
Young of Maine has also been on the
cripple list too much to develop."

Brunswick-Born Books
In an address before the Maine
Library Association at Bangor recent-
ly Professor Mitchell stated that
"more books had been born in Bruns-
wick than in any other Maine town."
He narrated from the beginning the
very early history of Brunswick in
which the art of Indian fighting was
much more highly cultivated than the
art of letters. The chief event in
Brunswick literary life was the found-
ing of Bowdoin College. Three years
after its founding Parker Cleaveland
became a member of the faculty and
in 1816 published his "Elementary
Treatise on Mineralogy and Geology"
which was styled "the most . useful
work on mineralogy in our language"
by a foregoing review. Then William
Smith, professor of mathematics, pub-
lished the first edition of his algebra
in 1830. He afterwards wrote a num-
ber of mathematical books, of which
his "Differential and Integral Calcu-
lus" is the one best known.
About this same time Professor
Thomas Upham published "Compila-
tions of Intellectual Philosophy" which
had a large circulation particularly in
many colleges, being even translated
into German and into Armenian for
use in Roberts College in Turkey.
Then followed "Treatment of the
Will," "Manual of Peace," and many
other books mostly of a religious
nature. He wrote a number of poems
under the title of "American Cottage
Life," but probably the writings of his
which will perpetuate his name the
longest, are his hymns, many of which
are in use today.
William Allen, president of Bowdoin
from 1820 to 1839, wrote many re-
ligious books, and also a biographical
dictionary and "A Collection of 10,000
Words Not in Any English Diction-
ary."
Jacob Abbott, Bowdoin 1820, was
the most prolific of any Brunswick
writers, "turning off books at a ter-
rific speed." He is the author of 180
books, not including 31 more in colla-
boration, making 211 in all.
Hawthorne wrote part of his first
novel, "Fanshawe," in Brunswick, and
also some verse. Longfellow wrote
many poems while in college, and
while a professor at Bowdoin wrote
"Outre Mer."
Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote that
most famous of all American books,
"Uncle Tom's Cabin," in Brunswick.
President Hyde wrote various books
while he was the head of Bowdoin,
which were a considerable addition to
"Brunswick-born books," as was also
Professor Henry Johnson's remarkable
translation of "The Divine Comedy,"
the best in the English language.

Relief work for the twenty million
estimated sufferers from famine in the
four Chinese provinces where' the
crops failed this year has been under-
taken energetically by both Chinese
and foreign organizations. The Ameri-
can committee was organized by the
American minister, Charles R. Crane,
to raise and distribute famine funds,
and is headed by H. C. Faxon of the
American Chamber of Commerce in
Peking. H. C. Emery '92, a banker,
recently of New York and Washing-
ton, was appointed treasurer of the
American committee.
The Chinese ministers of finance,
agriculture and industry have ap-
pointed a committee to dispense a mil-
lion dollar fund to be raised by means
of a short term loan. Another fund
of $1,800,000 is being undertaken by
seven provinces of Southern China.
Forty-two years ago a memorable
famine occurred. Then there was a
wheat crop just before the drought,
but at the present time there has been
no crop, except in limited areas. Even
trees have been stripped of their
leaves for use as food. It is thought
that less than half of the planted
fields will give back the grain used to
plant them. Selling of children is
common and small children are found
deserted in the streets, while some
have been rescued from rivers. A
writer from the stricken district says
that as far as one can see there is
nothing growing in the fields that can
keep the people alive this winter. No
one Is working in the fields ; very few
travel. The people have either left
or are settling in the villages con-
serving energy as much as possible.

OLD PHI CHI
The following is taken from an old
book in the library into which has
been pasted newspaper clippings with
no date or superscription whatsoever.
It is a story of the Phi Chi of older
days; the one we still sing of today,
but for which no Freshman now has
any fears.
The Society of Phi Chi was founded
in 1864. It was a strictly secret so-
ciety, and all its meetings were held
in secret and usually at some dis-
tance from the college campus. Bow-
doin possessed the only chapter of
Phi Chi ever known to have existed
in America.
An old graduate of Bowdoin says
in this article. "In my college days,
it was a sort of omnipresent, non-
corporeal entity. It was everywhere
and nowhere — the bugbear of the day
and the thief that stole the Fresh-
man's repose at night."
On initiation night, the initiates had
to undergo the same form of initia-
tion which the fraternities now give
their Freshmen, only one hundred
times worse. They were taken to
some far-off place they did not know.
Blind-folded, each man was told to
take hold of the seat of the trousers
of the man in front of him, with the
added precaution that if any man let
go, that man would die. The line of
men suddenly began to move forward
at a very rapid rate; they were being
pulled by two teams of horses.
Imagine, if you can, the strain on the
first man's arms, and add to that the
tension of fifteen or twenty more men
clinging to him.
After being pulled for ten minutes,
the initiate was made to get down on
his hands and knees and crawl through
a barrel. As he finished going through
a barrel, another was placed at the
end of the first, making an endless
tunnel. All things have an ending
and so had this.
The next ordeal took place soon
after. The initiate was made to sit,
tailor fashion, on a board. Then a
huge box was put over the whole of
him, and everything was lifted into
the air, ten, twenty, thirty feet. Sud-
denly the bottom of the box fell away
r.nd the initiate was precipitated
downward. He came to a quick stop
in a large sheet, and was tossed into
the air and fell back again. This
operation continued for five or ten
minutes.
The initiators then took the initiate
to the top of a building and placed
him in a "coffin," which had both ends
r,pen. The coffin was placed on a
greased and inclined plane, leading
from the roof to one of the windows.
It was slid up the plane to the top
and then given a push downward to-
ward the window, at which there was
a cleat which stopped the coffin so
suddenly that the initiate was thrown
headlong earthward. The initiate
came to a full stop in the embrace
of his old friend, the sheet. After
being tossed around again as before.,
he was allowed to stand on his feet,
a full-fledged member of the Society
of Phi Chi.
The Society of Phi Chi died a
natural death in the year 1881, after
an unfortunate injury to one of the
initiates. The chief duty of the so-
ciety was to make life an intense
misery for Freshmen. For many
years and even to this day, things are
done in the name of Phi Chi, but
never again will Phi Chi be estab-
lished at Bowdoin.

Bowdoin's congratulations to Ray
Buker, New England Cross-Country
champion. He certainly turned in a
fine piece of work to show his heels to
McMahon of M. I. T. and a large
number of other stars. Bates can well
be proud of her hill and dale team —
the second best in New England.
William J. Curtis and Orestes Pierce
of the class of 1875 were on the
campus recently.
It is hoped that the Alumni Council
Placement Bureau will begin its work
luring November this year. Any
Seniors who wish help in placement
are requested to make up their minds
as far as possible regarding the busi-
ness they wish to go into and to regis-
ter at the Dean's office between Nov.
15 and 30.
The football squad had their picture
taken last week. The pictures are
now on sale.
Students who change their college
residence are requested to inform the
Dean's office immediately. Serious
trouble might arise through failure to
observe this rule. It is also requested
that any change in home residence be
reported immediately.
There were adjourns in all courses
last Thuisday, the second anniversary
of Armistice Day.
One of the main attractions of the
Armistice Day celebration at Bath
was a free for all cross-country race
of about three miles. Three Bowdoin
men, Bill Hart '21, Jack Renier '23,
and Carroll Towle '22, took the loving
cups awarded for first, second, and
third places.
Applications for scholarships should
be filed with the treasurer before De-
cember 1. Application blanks may be
obtained at the treasurer's office.
A Red Cross drive for annual mem-
bership is now being conducted
throughout the college. It is hoped
that all the students will see fit to
join.
Vance '20, now in the Medical
School, seriously burned his left hand
last week in an explosion in the

H. W. Hastings '11, of Freyburg,

A partial eclipse of the sun was
plainly observable here Wednesday
morning from 8.59 until 11.31 o'clock.
It was, however, not noticed by the
majority of the students.
The "Lewiston Journal" of Novem-
ber 13 printed a long special article
with illustrations on the portraits in
the Bowdoin Art Building.
Paul W. Smith '20 was on the

Lecture December 7
'The Spirit of Early New England,"
By Paul Elmer More.
The audience that will greet the
distinguished lecturer of December 7
should be one fittingly to pay tribute
to his position in American letters; it
should also show that there still per-
sists something of the spirit of those
early Peucinians and Athenaeans,
whose names appear as donors of
many of the rare and solid old volumes
in our library. Bowdoin's own con-
tribution to the literary names of
early New England is still, it is to be
hoped, a vital tradition among us.
The "Orient" is privileged to print
below a review on the work of Dr.
More by Professor George Roy Elliott,
a paper which, of itself, confers singu-
lar honor on the columns of a college
weekly.
The essays of Mr. Paul Elmer More,
who comes to us as Annie Talbot Cole
lecturer on December 7, have a quality

Major Johnson Speaks
In Sunday Chapel
On Sunday, November 23, Major
Herbert Johnson, who served with the
Red Cross throughout the war, spoke
in chapel to boom the Red Cross drive
that is being carried on throughout
the college. He explained that even
though the war is ended, the Red
Cross is still needed, that a prodigious
number of soldiers are still suffering
from the effects of wounds and from
tuberculosis contracted during the
war. He praised the American soldier
very highly and spoke of his spirit
as most admirable.
Professor Burnett conducted the
service and introduced Major Johnson.
In his introduction Professor Burnett
spoke briefly of the work of the Red
Cross. In addition he said that Brown

Dartmouth To Debate Here
The debating council announces that
it has completed final arrangements
to debate Dartmouth in Brunswick on
January 14. The trials were held on
Tuesday, November 30. The team
picked by these trials however is for
the Dartmouth debate only. Bowdoin
is to debate Ripon College of Ripon,
Wis., sometime in February. For this
debate new trials will be held. Ripon
is sending a well trained and confident
team East to debate ten of the best
teams. To win Bowdoin must have
a team made up of the best debating
material in the under-graduate body.
The long string of victories which the
debating team has collected in the past
few years will be much improved by
the scalps of Dartmouth and Ripon,
but to secure them Bowdoin men must
give the team some backing. Interest
shown in this activity will send the
best men out for it. Show that in-
terest!
SECTIONAL RALLY
Speeches By Faculty Members and
Students — Sectional Clubs Formed.
Delegates from each fraternity and
a delegate representing the non-fra-
ternity undergraduates met at Pro-
fessor Bell's on the afternoon of No-
vember 18 to consider the re-estab-
lishing of sectional clubs to arouse
more interest in preparatory schools
for Bowdoin. The plan was made to
organize clubs according to the
counties of Maine, the states of Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire, New York,
New Jersey, the Southern states, and
the Western states. Plans were laid
to put the matter before the student
body at a rally and instruct them
then to send students to preparatory
schools as well as to arouse the
alumni to greater activity in sending
students to Bowdoin. Some of the
ideas suggested for the student
speakers to emphasize were scholar-
ships, the gymnasium, athletics, the
personal touch with the faculty, Bow-
doin democracy and Bowdoin spirit,
and the fraternity system.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
1923 WINS ANNUAL LOWER
CLASS FOOTBALL CLASH
Jacob Dodges 70 Yards Over Marshy Field to Touchdown
— Whitman, Needelman, and Smith Also Play Good
Game.
The annual football classic between
the Freshman and Sophomore class
teams was held on the Delta Saturday,
November 20. The nearly melted snow,
made of the field a solid stretch of
clammy, tenuous mud. One good
scrimmage was enough to change
even the features and appearance
of debonair Fat Bladwin, the
husky Freshman guard, to a
mere mass of mottled brown earth.
Such conditions would seem enough to
dishearten the most hardened clam-
fiat eleven, but the men of the lower-
class factions really seemed to enjoy
the delightfully novel sensation of
plunging face downward into a slith-
ering puddle while five or six doughty
warriors piled on to assure the finding
of bottom. And the Freshmen
managed to find bottom so consistent-
ly that they were gaily romped over
to the tune of eighteen to nothing.
The slippery field gave the heavier
Sophomore team all the odds. Al-
though the '23 backs failed to show
the speed of some of their rivals, the
heavy line tore holes big enough for
the whole backfield to leap through,
with the result that the Freshman
backs had to do the greater part of
the tackling. This extra burden had
much to do with wearing down the
backs and when the Freshman line
charged their rivals in vain, it seemed
as if the first year men were doomed
to early disaster.
The Sophomores started the fire-
works soon after the opening of the
fray, for Burgess, on a trick play, ran
across the line for a touchdown. Once
again in the opening period the Sopho-
mores pushed the pigskin to within a
yard of the line. Jacob took it across
after the Freshmen had held for third
down.
The ball wavered back and forth in
the second period, although the Fresh-
men were forced to punt every time
the pigskin came into their possession.
It was near the end of this period
however that the upper-classmen
pushed the ball to the Freshman 2-
yard line for first down. There was
no gain on second down. The ball
was pushed to within one foot of the
line on the next down. There were
only a few seconds left in the half.
1923 made another attempt. The
teams piled together and lay in a
heap on the ball. One by one they
were pulled off. The mud-covered
oval lay but an inch and a half from
the line, its muddy nose actually over.
It was Needelman's right arm that
had stopped the progress of the ball.
At this point the half ended.
The third and fourth periods were
a repetition of the first half. In the
third period Jacob got away for a 70-
yard dash for a touchdown, stumbling
twice in pools of mud and water.
Again the goal was missed. Neither
team was able to score in the final
period.
The work of Captain Smith in the
line, and Jacob and Whitman in the
back field made possible the Sopho-
more victory.
The Freshmen sent in new men on
almost every play in the last half, it
seemed. Men would appear fresh and
clean and rise after the first play,
spattered with mud. The 1924 team
used twenty-eight men. Needelman
was the only Freshman who played
the entire game. His work was ex-
ceptionally good on the defensive. R.
B. Phillips in the backfield was the
chief ground gainer for the Fresh-
men.
Keirstead and James played fine de-
fensive ball along with some good
offensive work, while Captain Kirk-
patrick played an excellent game at
fullback until he went out on account
of injuries. Patterson, substituting
for him showed the Sophomores some
clever defensive work, intercepting
two forward passes for gains, and
getting in on every play.

SECTIONAL RALLY
(Continued from page 245)
On the Monday night before the
Thanksgiving recess the rally was
held in Memorial Hall. The purpose
of the rally was Co urge the men re-
turning to their home towns to inter-
est high school fellows to come to
Bowdoin. It gave satisfaction to see
that Bowdoin men can cheer and show
spirit for the future welfare of the
college as well as for football games.
John Young presided over the rally
as ably as he has presided over the
past football rallies. Professor Hor-
mell was the first speaker of the eve-
ning. He outlined the purpose of the
rally very clearly and said that the
only reason why more fellows do not
come to Bowdoin is that they do not
know of it.
The next speaker was Virgil Mc-
Gorrill '22. He said that each man
should return to his home ready to
answer every question put to him by
high school students. We are in
class A with Amherst, Williams, and
Wesleyan, he said, but we can train
men for less money than they. Is
Bowdoin expensive, then ? He said
that tuition was a little higher than
at the other Maine colleges but was
offset by the large number of scholar-
ships, prizes, and positions in the fra-
ternities. He said that Dean Nixon
BOWDOIN ORIENT
247
was soon to issue a report of the
number of men working their way or
part of their way through college and
that this report would be startling.
He estimated that at least one-half of
the men were working their way
through college. He closed his re-
marks with the application of an anec-
dote on Daniel Webster, who had said,
"The State of New Hampshire con-
tributes to the union men;" by de-
claring that "Bowdoin contributes to
the State and union men."
Max Ryder '21 began by ad-
dressing the audience as "men from
Maine, and gentlemen from Massa-
chusetts," and was thereupon loudly
applauded and hissed. Then, in a
jocular manner he spoke of the en-
trance conditions, of warnings, and of
"the tightening clutch of faculty hands
at our academic throats." Strangely
enough, he seemed to approve of this
system, and then praised the confer-
ence system even more. He spoke of
the splendid opportunity a fellow has
at Bowdoin, and of the fine college
life. He recommended that we make
the Bowdoin standard so high that a
Bowdoin man will be recognized the
world over.
James Mitchell '23 in his talk asked
students to back up Bowdoin, to boost
her and lead good men towards her.
He claimed that Bowdoin is the oldest
and most democratic college in the
state, and offered our list of gradu-
ates and the Bowdoin spirit as dis-
played in the Maine game as proof of
his claim. He particularly reminded
the men not to forget the remarkable
facilities of Bowdoin and its many
praiseworthy college activities, and to
use such things to advantage in their
talks to the fellows at the preparatory
schools.
President Sills, the next speaker,
said that this new idea was one way
to aid the college greatly. He said
that he hopes that next year's class
of 1925 will be the largest and best
class; in quality a duplicate of the
class of 1825. The main point is to
let secondary school boys know what
Bowdoin really is. He told students
to point to themselves when the ques-
tion of difficulty of admission was
raised. The president pointed out that
the theory of the small college is to
gain out of life just what one puts
into it. If a boy has good health and
the ability to work he can stay at
Bowdoin. He emphasized that we
must bring the boys here over week
ends and to the interscholastic meets
and introduce them to Bowdoin.
Lloyd Hatch '21 was the last
speaker of the evening. He said that
we had plenty of propoganda but no
means of distributing it but that the
faculty had devised a plan. Every
man was to be excused from classes on
Wednesday or Monday if on either one
of those clays he would speak before
the student body of his high school ex-
plaining the advantages of Bowdoin,
and to receive from the principal a
list of all fellows in the Junior and
Senior classes who are planning to go
to college. He said that we must
break down certain false impressions
about Bowdoin and we must be care-
ful at all times that our actions do
not belie our words. Bowdoin men are
proud and self-satisfied in regard to
their college and fraternities and
snobbish appearances should be avoid-
ed.
After the speeches the men from
each county elected a chairman and
men to represent the preparatory
schools of that county. The students
planned to talk to the two upper
classes of preparatory schools indi-
vidually as well as assembled and to
bring to the college a list of all who
have a college course in view. The
project was commenced November 29
— all aiding in this movement being
excused from college on that day. All
indications point to success and a
boom for Bowdoin in the near future.
Red Cross Chapel
(Continued from page 245)
and Union Colleges had enrolled 75%
of their student bodies as Red Cross
members, while Wheaton and Welles-
ley Colleges were 100%. He said that
Bowdoin, too, had been approached in
this altruistic spirit and that Bowdoin
was responding nobly although no
statement of percentage could yet be
made. He explained that fifty cents
of every dollar goes to the local
chapter of the Red Cross while the
other fifty cents is used for humani-
tarian work in this and other coun-
tries.
Major Johnson spent a great deal
of his time in Czecho-Slovakia, which
he called "the newest, smallest, biggest
republic in the world," and the greater
part of his address directly concerned
that interesting country. Czecho-
slovakia consists of the Christian
provinces of Bohemia, Moravia and
Slovakia. The capital of the country
is Prague, that many-time hotbed of
war and intrigue in European history,
which is now the center of a region
famed for its wheat, textiles, and beet
sugar. The country formerly paid
one-half the taxes of the Austrian
Empire. The country has been under
the heel of the oppressor so long that,
in the words of Major Johnson, "pa-
triotism is a religion that burns like
fire." Under Austria they were
checked entirely in their natural
pursuits of government, so that their
genius expressed itself in art, scholar-
ship, and mechanical inventions. The
people are highly educated, Czecho-
slovakia having a lower percentage of
illiterates than any country in the
world. The University of Prague is
the oldest in the world excepting one,
and for centuries has been a center
of culture. Almost everyone there
knows four languages, and the speak-
er told of one girl of nineteen years
who understood eight languages and
spoke six of them with perfect
fluency. Not only are the Czecho-
Slovakians lovers of music and art,
but they are one of the kindliest and
friendliest peoples upon the face of
the globe. And yet, said Major John-
son, the average American thinks of
them as semi-barbarians working on
the railroad.
So strong was their admiration for
America that they came to America
to sign their declaration of independ-
ence, so that Independence Hall in
Philadelphia could be the birth-place
of their nation as well as of the great-
est democracy in the world. So great
was their love for our country that
when they chose a uniform for their
army they adopted the well-known
khaki of our own army above all the
uniforms of the other nations of the
world.
He described the Slovaks and Bo-
hemians as the most sympathetic peo-
ple in the world. He told of a Bo-
hemian girl whom he saw one day
with a bundle of bloody clothing which
she had neatly rolled up and over
which she was sobbing. This cloth-
ing was the uniform of an American
soldier who had been killed in an air-
248
BOWDOIN ORIENT
plane. She had gathered up the uni-
form and her one desire was to send
it back to his relatives in America.
This is but one illustration of the
great spirit of kindliness of this peo-
ple.
He described the Bohemians as an
aesthetic people. When the soldiers
went to war each one carried a flower
on his gun; the people did not cheer
them or weep, instead they stood in
silence.
The strategic points for peace, de-
mocracy and the existence of the
United States are Poland, Bohemia
and Jugo-Slavia, situated as they are
between Germany and Russia. This
theory is pointed out in the book, "The
United States and Pan-Germanism."
Major Johnson emphasized this belief
and said that those who help these
countries of Central Europe are work-
ing for the best interests of the United
States.
The Red Cross is carrying on a
noble work in Central Europe, where
over eleven million children are
fatherless. These children have been
starving all during the war and at the
present time the Red Cross is feeding
400,000 daily.
At the close of his talk Major John-
son showed an American flag which
he had found attached to a machine
gun surrounded by hundreds of dead
soldiers. This, he said, was a chal-
lenge for every man to work for the
Red Cross and Czecho-Slovakia as our
soldiers worked who had died for de-
mocracy.

Bradbury Debates
Are Postponed
Prof. — Is it correct for me to say,
"I can't learn you anything?"
Fresh. — Sure.
Prof.— How is that?
Fresh. — Becus you can't.
On account of the need of haste be-
fore the Dartmouth debate the usual
custom of holding the Bradburys to
pick the varsity will be broken. It is
hoped to hold them before the debate
with Ripon.

Paul Elmer More
(Continued from page 245)
which is rare enough at any time, and
exceedingly rare so far in the
twentieth century writings of Eng-
land and America. That quality is
nobility. His work is of the kind that
wins a slow but firm hold upon
thoughtful readers. And I think that
many Bowdoin men fifty years hence
will wish, in looking back, that they
could have had our privilege of hear-
ing Mr. More in person. He is be-
ing recognized, increasingly, as one
of the two chief guides (his friend,
Professor Irving Babbitt of Harvard,
being the other) of American stu-
dents who are seeking old truth in its
bearing upon our new age.
His career has favored a clear un-
derstanding of the present upon the
basis of a rich knowledge of the past.
Born in St. Louis in 1864, he had his
formal education at Washington Uni-
versity in that city and afterwards at
Harvard. Subsequently he taught at
Harvard and Bryn Mawr, and is at
present lecturing at Princeton. He
was early a profound student of the
Latin and Greek classics, notably
Plato, whose philosophy — tempered
with the religious thought of ancient
India, which he mastered also in the
original tongue — has been the chief
formative influence upon his own
thinking. But Mr. More's interest is
not remote or academic. His studies
proceeded into modern French, Ger-
man, and Italian, as well as into the
whole range of modern English and
American literature, with which his
literary essays are mainly concerned.
As literary editor (1901-1914) suc-
cessively of the "New York Independ-
ent," the "Evening Post," and the
"Nation," and now of the "Unpartizan
Review," he has been occupied
at close range with the litera-
ture and thought of the present time.
Throughout, his aim has been to
bring the surest light of the past to
focus upon our changeful present. No
other essayist since Arnold has ful-
filled this aim with such profundity
of insight together with such clear
charm. And Mr. More surpasses Ar-
nold, I think, in his consistent pene-
tration to the centre of our modern
problem.
His message has gained poignancy,
during the past six years, from the
unexampled outbreak of bitter war-
fare between nations and between
classes. During the preceding decade,
the roots of this two-fold struggle
were being traced premonitorily by
Mr. More in the very structure of
nineteenth century civilization. His
criticism appreciates the stores of
fresh emotion and knowledge which
"the wonderful century" unlocked for
us, and its intense zest for human
welfare. But he shows that, at the
same time, the essential condition of
true human happiness became extra-
ordinarily obscured. The imaginative
and speculative writers of the past
hundred years and more have tried,
predominantly, to envisage life as a
single great stream of vital energy,
flowing through nature and mankind.
In so doing they have obscured the
fact that life, when it is most real, is
not single but dual: comprising both
a stream of natural desire and a
higher mode of life which controls
that stream. Only through such con-
trol, though it continually involves
some degree of pain, can we attain to
that state of mind and heart which
attends the full health of human
nature. "This," writes Mr. More, "is
the feeling of happiness, which is not
the same as pleasure, and may exist
in the absence of pleasure, and de-
spite the presence of pain; and op-
posed to it is the feeling of misery,
which is not the same as pain, and
may exist in the absence of pain, and
despite the presence of pleasure." By
assimilating happiness and pleasure
in a single conception of human wel-
fare, popular writers and thinkers
have fostered in our democratic pub-
lic the urge of expansive desires
which have no boundary, and which
inevitably overflow into social war-
fare.
In bodying forth in the whole range
of his essays the essential duality of
life, Mr. More has attained, without
seeking it, a high level of literary
originality. He rarely departs from
the method of a fine literary artist.
He shuns dogmatic abstraction, and
gives his thought "a local habitation
and a name." He treats the past, not
as a mine of curious information, nor
as a fixed and dull authority, but as
a book wherein we may read, after
long labor and mysteriously, that
which is least transitory in ourselves.
In his style, if we miss the subtly
colorful imagery which is so much
sought for in the prose of today, we
find more and more the beauties of
rich simplicity and fine cadence, as in
the following two sentences: "And
humanitarianism, however it may be
concerned with human destinies and
however it may call upon our emo-
tions, leaves out of acc'ount the deep
thirst of the soul for the infinite wells
of peace; it has forgotten the scrip-
tural promise of peace and the truth
which St. Augustine knew." — "We
reach, therefore, a clear definition of
justice: it is that government and
harmonious balance of the soul which
arises when reason prevails over the
feelings and desires, and when this
dominance of the reason is attended
with inner joy and consenting peace;
it is the right distribution of power
and honour to the denizens within the
breast of the individual man."
Mr. More's most important works,
with the exception of Platonism
(Princeton, 1917), are collected under
the title of the Shelburne Essays
(1904-1920) in ten volumes; each of
which contains at the back a table of
the contents of preceding volumes. The
general student would do well to read
first the Ninth Series (Aristocracy
and Justice), particularly the essays
on Academic Leadership, Justice, and
The New Morality. For a general
view of his work I would suggest also
the following essays in this order:
Socrates, The Forest Philosophy of
India, Saint Augustine, Pascal, Her-
bert, Pope, Rousseau, Wordsworth,
Tennyson, Whittier, Whitman, Huxley,
Nietzsche, Symons, Lafcadio Hearn,
William James. A reading of his
essays on American writers might be
particularly suggestive in preparation
for Mr. More's lecture here on The
Spirit and Poetry of Early New Eng-
land. Something of the best of that
spirit comes down into Mr. More's
own work; and his lecture offers an
excellent way for Bowdoin to com-
memorate the tercentenary of the
Pilgrim Fathers.

OEOttorial
Chapel Decorum.
As long as chapel is an established
institution at Bowdoin why not ob-
serve it with the dignity and decorum
which should be its due? There are
two matters in which the Student
Body can show better taste in its
chapel deportment. In calling atten-
tion to them we believe that it is mere
thoughtlessness on the part of those
present rather than any wilful at-
tempt to appear disorderly.
We refer in the first place to the
almost universal habit of dropping the
hymn books on the seats in the forms.
Not only does this mar the appearance
and contribute to the wear and tear of
the books, but it also causes a re-
peated thud all along the line that
must be disconcerting to whomever is
in charge of the chapel exercises. A
little care on the part of every one
present will easily eradicate this evil.
The other matter is in regard to
the form of applause that greeted a
recent speaker in chapel after the con-
clusion of his remarks. Certain mem-
bers of the Student Body saw fit to
express their appreciation of the
speaker's talk by banging their feet
against the radiator pipes. It was
noticeable that this commotion came
principally from the two lower forms.
While the spirit of the applauders was
praiseworthy, would it not afford the
speaker more satisfaction to be
greeted by the traditional handclap-
ping or to refrain from any expres-
sion of approval whatever?
We hope the members of the Stu-
dent Body will take these matters to
heart and see to it that chapel pro-
ceeds in a more orderly and dignified
way hereafter.
Interfraternity Conference
Professor Bell Representative From
Bowdoin.
One of the largest interfraternity
conferences that have been held for a
number of years took place recently
at New York. Professor Bell repre-
sented Bowdoin at this conference,
which held a comparatively long ses-
sion, in which many fraternity prob-
lems were discussed.
The interfraternity conference has
been organized for twelve years, but
only during the last four years have
college representatives attended, in
addition to the three men from each
national fraternity. There are 46
fraternities represented, and only a
few with over five chapters are not in-
cluded.
The most important matters taken
up were: the problem of extending
fraternities into colleges where there
are none at present; the situation at
Leland Stanford; the abolition of
Theta Nu Epsilon; the system of stu-
dent government at Virginia; and
finally a plan of co-operative buying
in respect to board and various other
fraternity necessities.
At present there are about seventy-
five colleges giving degrees where
there are no fraternities. The confer-
ence expressed a strong desire that
the fraternities be extended to these
colleges in some manner as soon as
possible. Along this same general
topic came the problem at Leland
Stanford University. Many people
have the erroneous idea that the presi-
dent wishes the abolition of frater-
nities there. On the contrary he de-
sires that all the fraternities have
their houses on the campus, that these
houses be more or less uniform in size
and architecture, and that the college
exercise complete control. Further-
more the houses are to be university
property, and they are to be built
with money borrowed by the univer-
sity from the fraternities.
Dean Clark of Illinois had a paper
on the subject of the Theta Nu
Epsilon fraternity, which was abol-
ished at Bowdoin a few years ago.
This society, which is condemned by
other fraternities is still active in
many places. All the letters received
by the conference on this subject con-
demned T. N. E., except two which
were non-committal. An unanimous
resolution was passed to the effect
that all fraternities ought to forbid
any of their members from becoming
or remaining members of Theta Nu
Epsilon.
There was some discussion of the
system of student self-government at
the University of Virginia. In ac-
cordance with the honor system which
is applied there, all violations are
dealt with by a student court, the
penalties from which are usually very
severe.
One of the most important prob-
lems of all that was dealt with by the
conference was that of co-operative
buying by the fraternities at any given
college. Professor Paul Warner of
Wisconsin read an unusually interest-
ing paper on this topic. The system
involves co-operation of all the chapter
house stewards, who are to deal with
business concerns through the medium
of one man. All bills are sent to the
chapter for approval, after which they
are passed over to this man. Over
fifty chapters at Wisconsin, Michigan,
and Illinois are saving a great amount
of money by means of this system.
At Wisconsin excellent board is pro-
vided at the rate of 87* cents a day,
which includes 15% of the house
rental, and also the maintenance of
kitchen and dining room. Further-
more the plan tends toward more sat-
isfactory interfraternity relations.
In one group of fraternities there
should not be more than a dozen fra-
ternities dealing with one man. In a
good average group each new steward
BOWDOIN ORIENT
251
receives careful instruction in the uni-
form bookkeeping system and in other
branches of his work before he can
commence his term of office. In ad-
dition to the provision of supplies the
fraternities are better enabled to em-
ploy men for house repairs, sometimes
getting- as much as 19 % discount on
such work. The whole system, though
fairly elaborate, is one well worthy
of consideration at Bowdoin, especial-
ly in view of its great success in the
Middle West.
At an informal meeting of some of
the general secretaries of the frater-
nities, not in connection with the con-
ference, an evening of discussion led
to these two conclusions: that rushing
agreements are undesirable and futile,
and that every college ought to have
a deferred initiation (this last particu-
larly so that students will not enter
a fraternity if they fail out of college
after a short time).
Other matters discussed by the con-
ference were the desirability of elimi-
nating traveling salesmen of frater-
nity jewelry and to confine purchases
of this nature to one official fraternity
jeweler; the possibility of interfrater-
nity councils at the various colleges,
and the desire for some improvement
in scholarship.
JOINT HOUSE PARTY
Delta Kappa Epsilon and Alpha Delta
Phi.
Tuesday night before the Thanks-
giving recess the Delta Kappa Epsilon
and Alpha Delta Phi fraternities held

What Is Air?
BEFORE 1894 every chemist thought he knew what air is. "A
mechanical mixture of moisture, nitrogen and oxygen, with
traces of hydrogen and carbon dioxide," he would explain.
There was so much oxygen and nitrogen in a given sample that he
simply determined the amount of oxygen present and assumed the
rest to be nitrogen.
One great English chemist, Lord Rayleigh, found that the nitro-
gen obtained from the air was never so pure as that obtained from
some compound like ammonia. What was the "impurity"? In
co-operation with another prominent chemist, Sir William Ramsay,
it was discovered in an entirely new gas — " argon. " Later came the
discovery of other rare gases in the atmosphere. The air we breathe
contains about a dozen gases and gaseous compounds.
This study of the air is an example of research in pure science.
Rayleigh and Ramsay had no practical end in view — merely the dis-
covery of new facts.
A few years ago the Research Laboratories of the General Electric
Company began to study the destruction of filaments in exhausted
lamps in order to ascertain how this happened. It was a purely
scientific undertaking. It was found that the filament evaporated
— boiled away, like so much water.
Pressure will check boiling or evaporation. If the pressure within
a boiler is very high, it will take more heat than ordinarily to boil the
water. Would a gas under pressure prevent filaments from boiling
away? If so, what gas? It must be a gas that will not combine
chemically with the filament. The filament would burn in oxygen;
hydrogen would conduct the heat away too rapidly. Nitrogen is a
useful gas in this case. It does form a few compounds, however.
Better still is argon. It forms no compounds at all.
Thus the modern, efficient, gas-filled lamp appeared, and so argon,
which seemed the most useless gas in the world, found a practical
application.
Discover new facts, and their practical application will take care
of itself.
And the discovery of new facts is the primary purpose of the
Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company.
Sometimes years must elapse before the practical application of a
discovery becomes apparent, as in the case of argon; sometimes a
practical application follows from the mere answering of a "theoret-
ical "question, as in the case of a gas-filled lamp. But no substantial
progress can be made unless research is conducted for the purpose of
discovering new facts.

Intercollegiate
Boxing Association
At a recent conference of delegates
from various colleges plans were made
regarding an intercollegiate boxing
association. Major Thomas L. Pierce
'98 was the Bowdoin delegate, but as
he was unable to attend the meeting,
Mr. Harry L. Palmer '04 went in his
place.
At the present time arrangements
are being made for the establishment
of a New England Intercollegiate Box-
ing Association. It seems that Bow-
doin will probably not become a mem-
ber of the national association for the
time being, but instead will be likely
to join the New England group.
Juniors and Seniors who had boxing
last year are being admitted to an
advanced group this year, under the
direction of Needelman '21, and from
this group it is expected to find ma-
terial good enough to represent the
college in intercollegiate contests
(Continued on page 262)
The Musical Clubs
The final selections in the Glee Club
were made recently. There have been
regular rehearsals at which a fine

of the club. The men who have been
selected are as follows:
First Tenors: Sprince, Medic '23, H.
Nixon '21, Black '23, Dow '24, Reed
'23. Second Tenors: Woodbury '22,
Butler '22, Hatch '21, A. M. Smith '23,
M. P. Chandler '23. First Bass:
Mitchell '23, Grenfell '24, R. C. Tuttle
'22, Brewer '22, Ryder '21. Second
Bass: Congdon '22, Turgeon '23, Sul-
livan '23, Dudgeon '21, Ferris '22.

Varsity Debating Trials
The trials for the varsity debating
team were held Wednesday afternoon
at 3.30 in the Debating Room. The
team that was chosen consists of Jo-
seph L. Badger '21, A. Rudolph
Thayer '22, and George B. Welch '22.
. On January 14 this team will de-
bate with the Dartmouth team at
Brunswick, on the question, "Resolved,
That the United States should restrict
further immigration."
Later in the year this team plans
to debate the same question with the
Ripon College team when it comes
east to debate with Bowdoin and nine
other colleges.
NOMINEES FOR FOOTBALL
ASSISTANT MANAGERS
At a meeting of the Athletic Coun-
cil last Friday, R. D. Hanscom '23, K.
R. Philbrick '23, and J. R. Sheesley '23,
were nominated for assistant man-
ager of football, for the season of
1921. At an election to be held some-
time before the Christmas vacation,
two of these candidates will be elected
assistant managers.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
PEARY'S CLASS ODE
Reminiscences of Frank Winter '80 on
Peary's College Days.
Some unusually interesting remi-
niscences of the late Admiral Peary's
college days taken from the "La
Crosse (Wis.) Leader-Press," are re-
printed below. The clipping was sent
to the "Orient" by Mr. Fred G. Swett
'92. Little has ever been printed of
the great explorer's undergraduate
life, and the fact that he was such
a strong leader here at Bowdoin as
well as in his later career makes these
comments by Mr. Frank Winter '80 all
the more valuable to present readers
of the "Orient."
That Robert E. Peary in addition
to being an adventurous traveler, was
a famous athlete and at the age of
twenty attained fame in college as a
poet and scholar, is the declaration of
Frank Winter, La Crosse lawyer, who
was intimately acquainted with Peary
when they were students together in
Bowdoin College in the 70's.
To prove his contention that Peary
was gifted as a poet and could have
achieved honor in literary circles had
he chosen to devote his time and en-
ergy to writing, Mr. Winter submits
a class ode written by him and here-
tofore unpublished. This poem was
found in a graduation program got-
ten out for Peary's class, and it is
one of the cherished relics of collegi-
ate days possessed by Mr. Winter.
Bert Peary, as he was familiarly
known in college, was the most popu-
lar man in Bowdoin, an all-around
athlete, lover of the great outdoors
and sports, and ranked high as a
scholar and speaker.
"I knew Admiral Robert E. Peary,
the Arctic explorer well when we were
students together at Bowdoin in 1876-
1877," said Mr. Winter. "He was a
senior and I a freshman, but every-
body in college, even the freshmen,
knew Bert Peary. He was a marked
man as he has been ever since his
graduation in 1877.
Ranked High as Scholar.
"He was second in scholarship in
a class of more than ordinary ability.
His class graduate Cobb, a future gov-
ernor of Maine, Beal, a partner of
Robert Lincoln, and one of the gen-
eral counsel of the Pullman Company
of Chicago, and Charles Morse, the
banker and ship owner, who, when he
tried to corner and control the ocean
shipping of the country incurred the
enmity of powerful men in New York
and was made the goat of bankers
who were doing the same thing he
did in the panic in 1907. Morse was
sent to the penitentiary at Atlanta for
fraudulent banking and illegal combi-
nations, and was pardoned by Presi-
dent Taft for the reason that he was
about to die. Since then he has re-
covered both his health and his
fortune.
Led in Athletics
"Peary was not simply the leader
of his class in scholarship, but in al-
most every college activity. Tall,
slender and wiry, you would not have
said he was particularly athletic, yet
he excelled in every outdoor sport. He
was the best horseman in college, a
tireless ranger of the woods and sea-
shore, fishing and hunting.
"At Commencement in 1877 he was
one of the ten speakers appointed on
account of their high rank in scholar-
ship, and was a Phi Beta Kappa man,
and one of the six speakers appointed
to speak in competition for the most
coveted prize in college, that awarded
for the best spoken, written and de-
livered oration. At Bowdoin, the two
leaders of the class three years before,
speak at each Commencement with the
ten Commencement speakers of the
graduating class. He delivered the
valedictory address in Latin when I
graduated, three years later, speaking
almost immediately after me for his
Master of Arts degree.
Employed by Navy
"He was one of the three civil en-
gineers of his class. Professor Vose
who had charge of the engineering
department, was a well known civil
engineer and author of text books,
and his students, if recommended by
him, had no trouble in getting good
positions. Peary was almost immed-
iately employed by the Navy as a
civil engineer. As such he had charge
of the surveys for the proposed Nicar-
agua Canal, and for his distinguished
services there was made a lieutenant
in the Navy. From that time on his
history is a part of the history of the
country, known to all since his dis-
covery of the North Pole.
"In college he was a genuine all-
round man, liked by everybody, and
was something of a poet.
Writes Class Day Ode.
"I find by reference to an old pro-
gram that he wrote the class clay ode
of his class at graduation. It is of
such unusual merit for a boy of 20,
that possibly it is worth printing. To
understand the references in it, one
should know that the class day ex-
ercises at Bowdoin are held under the
Thorndike Oak, planted as an acorn
on his graduation day, by George
Thorndike of the class of 1806. It was
the poor boy's sole memento, for he
died suddenly the next year at St.
Petersburg. Cherished by succeeding
generation of students, at Peary's
graduation it was a sturdy tree nearly
a foot and a half in diameter. Under
this tree his class sang Peary's
CLASS ODE
Listen, old Oak
Aid I invoke.
Aid from thy sylvan heart.
Hush thy soft sighs.
Bend from the skies,
Teach me one song ere we part.
Teach me those mystical, murmurous strains.
Born of the sunshine, the winds, and the
Give me thy restless, wild essence of life ;
Let my verse thrill like an army's wild strife.
Softly, O friend,
This is the end.
End of our college days.
Fleeting so fast,
Here is the last,
Gilded by sunset rays.
Down on the meadows at evening tide.
Noiseless and spectral the river-mists glide.
Up from the campus and halls as we gaze,
Float the while wraiths of Collegiate days.
Now with a sigh ,
Whisper good bye,
Bowdoin, fair Eastern queen,
Treasure her gems.
Opaline gems,
Lucent with astral sheen.
Let their keen gleamings our young brows
enshrine.
They shall the stars of the morning outshine.
Led by their clear light again and again,
We will be rulers and kings among men.
" And Robert Edwin Peary was a
ruler and king among men."
The Musical Clubs
(Continued from pase 261)
The Mandolin Club had another re-
hearsal last Friday at 4.45 p. m. A
large number turned out. A plan of
reorganization was brought up and
finally decided on. Professor Wass
believed that on former occasions
when the club had given a concert the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
263
music had sounded rather weak and
was lacking in power. Hereafter the
club will consist of banjo-mandolins.
There will be no mandolins in the club
this year. This plan was approved
by all the men at the rehearsal.
There is to be another rehearsal soon
when final cuts will be made. There
will be about fifteen men selected for
the Banjo-Mandolin Club.
Plans are being arranged for con-
certs in Reading, Mass., Springfield,
Mass., Philadelphia, and Saco, Me., in
addition to the trips taken by the
clubs last season.

Active Membership
In Y. M. C. A.
The college "Y" has inaugurated a
drive for active memberships, the or-
ganized effort to continue until Christ-
mas vacation. The purposes of this
drive are worthy and command the
loyal support of every man interested
in the welfare of the college and its
institutions. The Y. M. C. A. here
is struggling under a burden of ex-
pense which must be removed by the
student body. Appropriations and
advertisements were insufficient to
cover the expenses even of the pub-
lication of the Freshman Bibles and
there are' still the regular expenses
to be attended to. The Blanket Tax
is not high enough to cover all stu-
dent activities, and, unless the present
rate is to be increased, Bowdoin men
must do their share by supporting the
individual organization as they will-
ingly support major sports. In con-
sideration of the fact that club
privileges in any city "Y" are usually
double the amount asked for active
membership here (a membership
which affords club privileges in any
"Y" in the country) it seems a small
thing to ask of students. There is a
representative of the "Y" in every
house. Don't wait to be asked, but
show your allegiance to Bowdoin by
giving him your membership fee of
$1.50 now.
The representatives in the houses
are:

Intercollegiate
Boxing Association
(Continued from page 261)
when once the associations are estab-
lished in an active manner.
Dr. Whittier has received a detailed
report of the recent conference from
Mr. Palmer, which is as follows:
This meeting was held for the pur-
pose of the adoption of the Constitu-
tion and By-laws to govern the activi-
ties of the association, which matters
had been generally discussed and
partially formulated at a previous
meeting held on October 22, 1920.
Letters were read by the chairman,
Dr. McKenzie, from ten or twelve col-
leges— some of which looked with
favor on the idea, others were in
doubt as to the feasibility of the plan,
and still others, in one or two in-
stances, were frankly opposed to the
sport as a recognized intercollegiate
athletic activity.
The question of the eligibility of
Springfield College was raised by Dr.
Rowe, of M. I. T., and the opinion was
practically unanimous that, owing to
the fact that this institution had not
been given admittance to the I.C.A.A.
A.A., it would be unwise to include it
as one of the charter members of the
association. They were accordingly
omitted.
The meeting then proceeded to the
formal adoption of the Constitution
and by-laws as they had been drafted,
the official name of the association be-
ing The Intercollegiate Boxing Associ-
ation of America.
The following officers were elected:
President, Lt. Com. W. A. Richardson,
U. S. Naval Academy; vice-president,
R. C. Harlow, Pennsylvania State Col-
lege; secretary-treasurer, M. J. Pick-
ering, University of Pennsylvania.
The Executive Committee to be
composed of the above officers with
certain representatives at large as
follows: Dr. A. W. Rowe, M. I. T.,
graduate member; Gen. Palmer E.
Pierce, West Point, graduate member;
Allan Addicks, M. I. T., undergraduate
member; Robert J. Ward, University
of Pennsylvania, undergraduate mem-
ber.
In as much as one of the articles in
the Constitution provides that, in
order to qualify as a member of this
association, a college must hold at
least two boxing meets with other
members of the association during
each athletic season, I withheld agree-
ment to the entering of Bowdoin as a
charter member until the matter
could be referred to the proper auth-
orities at the college. Col. Keeler, of
West Point, was also unable to defi-
nitely commit the Military Academy
for membership until reporting back
to his institution.
In view of the generally favorable
letters received from several colleges,
the sug-gestion was made that a rea-
sonable time be given for such col-
leges to consider the matter and still
be eligible for charter membership.
The secretary was accordingly directed
to send copies of the Constitution and
By-laws and rules for boxing to each
of the colleges, with the explanation
that thirty days would be given for
consideration and decision as to their
desire to enter as a charter member.
I presume that within the next week
you will receive copies of such docu-
ments. Those colleges which are al-
ready definitely committed as charter
members are Massachusetts Institute
of Technology, Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity, U. S. Naval Academy, Pennsyl-
vania State College, University of
Pennsylvania, Boston University.
During the general discussion of the
evening there was very much evidence
of the existing and growing popularity
of boxing at the different colleges. It
was reported that at the University
of Pennsylvania there were seventy
men in the Freshmen class who were
taking gymnasium training in boxing.
Other colleges reported similar inter-
est.
My understanding of the article in
the By-laws in regard to two inter-
collegiate contests being necessary
each year in order to qualify as a
member, is that a "home and home"
meet would be all that would be re-
quired. For instance, if Bowdoin
should meet M. I. T. at the latter in-
stitution and a return engagement at
Bowdoin, the qualification would be
met.
Copies of the Constitution and By-
laws were not ready for distribution,
but you will receive them by mail, as
indicated above, from M. J. Pickering,
secretary, whose address is Franklin
Field, Philadelphia, Pa.
I am enclosing copies of the Rules
for Boxing, and no doubt you will re-
ceive further copies from the secre-
tary.
The following men were present:
Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, University of
Pennsylvania (chairman) ; General
Palmer E. Pierce, West Point, Presi-
dent of N.C.A.A.; Dr. A. W. Rowe,
M. I. T. Advisory Counsel; M. J. Pick-
ering, University of Pennsylvania;
Col. H. J. Keeler, West Point; C. W.
Martin, Pennsylvania State College
Graduate; H. L. Palmer, Bowdoin Col-
lege Graduate; Allan Addicks, M. I.
T. Undergraduate; Robert K. Ward,
University of Pennsylvania Under-
graduate.
I think in the above I have covered
all the essential points about the meet-
ing. The Intercollegiate Boxing As-
sociation of America is now a duly or-
ganized association and the entering
of Bowdoin as a charter member is
now dependent upon what action the
college and its athletic interests de-
cide to take within the time allowed,
after due notipe from Mr. Pickering,
the secretary.
Yours very truly,
H. L. PALMER,
Class of 1904.
Everybody Happy.
Much to his annoyance, they were
late for the game, arriving at the
sixth inning.
"What's the score, Fred?" he asked
a fan.
"Nothing to nothing."
"Oh, splendid!" she exclaimed radi-
antly. "We haven't missed a thing." —

BOWDOIN ORIENT

The November "Quill'
The November "Quill" is of marked-
ly uneven quality; nor is the inferior
portion fully redeemed by the excel-
lence of the rest. Beginning as one
may, even today, with entire ethical
if not aesthetic justification at the be-
ginning, one is forced to admit that its
opening poem, "To One Who Begged
for Verse," has unerringly found its
place in the Vestibule or Outer Hell,
the abode of those deserving "neither
infamy nor praise." The last line but
one of this sonnet is a bit intriguing to
the merely prose intelligence.
"Then is our glamor at a sudden end."
The succeeding pages however evoke
very definite, if mixed, impulses to
censure or approve. Against the
puerility and vulgarity of the others
one sadly tries to tip the beam with
the attractive content and sound
workmanship of "Life at Oxford,"
"Tragic Effect in the Plays of Chris-
topher Marlowe" and "Sea Turns."
The first mentioned brings genuine
satisfaction to all of us who enjoy the
"well-rounded" style — as our Latin
friends put it — that Mr. Hale in-
variably employs. He has given us a
vivid glimpse of the days and ways
of the Oxford undergraduates done
with insight and charm. One is con-
scious perhaps of undue compression
of material due doubtless to a wholly
groundless fear of wearying the
reader with descriptive detail and per-
sonal impression. Those of us who
have at heart the literary health of
the college are troubled by a symptom
of anaemia in a too heavy leaning
upon the alumni arm, however sinewy
and devoted.
The chief virtue of Mr. Welch's
study of Marlowe is the orderliness
of its thinking and expression. The
writer has set himself a problem ap-
parently of large proportions but
really lending itself easily to com-
pendious treatment. Mr. Welch, in
fact, does little more than define, with
happily chosen illustration, but this
he does with neatness and dispatch.
Mr. Morse, through endowment and
training, has earned the right to a
respectful hearing for experiments in
verse or prose. Each of his "Sea
Turns" has atmosphere — even if one
or two little corners of his art have
failed to tuck themselves quite out of
sight.
The remaining pages one is tempted
to pass over in merciless silence and
the present reviewer would do so but
for one humiliating fact, a fact that
should be brought home to the young
writers of these articles but more par-
ticularly to the editorial staff that al-
lowed them to appear in print. That
fact is the wrong that will be done
to Bowdoin's reputation for competent
undergraduate writing when these
pages of verse and prose appear on
the editorial tables of other colleges.
One can faintly imagine, for instance,
the unholy glee with which they will
be welcomed at Smith or Wellesley
as typical of the virile literary out-
put of a man's college. The "Quill"
does not need a reviewer if this is to
continue but a censor, with a regard
for the decencies observed in the re-
public of letters. F. W. B.
Data On Courses From
Psychology Department
The following data were collected
by the students of the course in ex-
perimental psychology from 92 upper-
classmen in Bowdoin. The results
represent the motives of these 92 men
for taking their courses this fall;
hence any one individual with his four
or more caurses may report quite a
number of motives. The data was
collected with the understanding that
their names were not to be known
except by the collector of the infor-
mation. The information was given
with apparent truthfulness; any that
appeared unreliable were discarded.
I. Theoretical 242
1. Desire for acquaintance
with subject 73
2. Liking for subject 96
3. Cultural value 53
4. Associated interest 18
5. Hobby 1
6. Obtain Scientific view-point 1
II. Practical 184
1. Usefulness in general 28
2. For life work (inc. business,
law, etc.) 81
3. Associated practical interest 17
4. As means to practical ends. 10
5. Graduate work 9
6. Timely 8
7. Better fulfill duties as
citizen 10
8. Teaching 5
9. Mental training 5
10. Develop reasoning capacity 5
11. Socially useful 3
12. Concerned with matters of
wide importance 3
III. Required 130
1. Complete major or minor. . 59
2. Modern language require-
ments 22
3. For Medical School 34
4. For degree . 12
5. Required for another course 2
6. Work off condition 1
IV. Character of Course at Bowdoin 65
1. Personality of professor... 20
2. Easy course 17
3. Easy to learn for particu-
lar individual 15
4. Presentation of subject. ... 4
5. Convenient hours 6
6. Popular course 3
V. Authority 23
1. Told valuable, with reasons 10
2. Told valuable, without rea-
sons 13
VI. Least Evil 5
1. To avoid another subject . . 4
2. To avoid taking subject in
graduate school 1
The results show that there is, con-
trary to common belief, a preponder-
ance of motives on the theoretical side
instead of the practical. The motives
given were often vague, so that the
collectors were forced to press the
observers for more specific informa-
tion. There are several possible ob-
jections to the validity of the data,
such as attempting to ascribe worthy
motives when such was not the case;
that the motives reported may not
have been those which in September
impelled the student to take the
course, that the motives are incom-
plete and that certain individuals may
not be competent adequately to re-
port them. The results were surpris-
ing in that the motives, authority,
personality of instructor and easy
course were so small; the 23 authority
motives were those of 21 different in-
dividuals; the 20 personality of in-
structor were those of 14, and the 32
easy course motives, of 25 individuals.
It is with the end in view of dis-
covering what criticism the students
themselves may have on their data,
that they are published by the kind-
ness of the "Orient."

On the other side, there is the
strongly entrenched argument of pre-
cedent and tradition. Many Bowdoin
men think the present "Orient" neat
and convenient in form and attractive
in appearance. Many of our gradu-
ates file their "Orients," and set great
store by their neatly arranged sets.
The present form is without doubt
well-adapted for that purpose. The
argument may be advanced, moreover,
that the "Orient," while a news
medium, is not a newspaper in the
commonly accepted use of the term,
since its "stories" cover at least a
week's happenings.
The idea of changing the form of
the "Orient" has been discussed many
times at great length.
A few of the arguments on either
side have been presented above. Be-
fore any definite action is taken in re-
gard to the matter, the sentiment of
the alumni and of the student body
must be ascertained. To this end we
invite any Bowdoin man to air his
views on the subject in these columns.
In so doing he will do much toward
arriving at a proper solution of the
problem.
OSOitoual
A College Newspaper.
How many of our readers would
like to see the Bowdoin "Orient" ap-
pear in the form of a newspaper in-
stead of the present style? We re-
fer to a form such as that used by
"The Dartmouth," "The Harvard
Crimson," and others of like nature.
Much can be said in favor of the
newspaper form. To begin with, it
represents considerable economy in
printing and binding. The paper stock
is much cheaper and requires less
time and material to put together.
Advertisers, too, usually favor the
newspaper form in that it offers better
display possibilities for their "ads."
Then there is the argument that the
newspaper is the logical agency for
conveying news and that the present
form is obsolete.
One of the New York alumni en-
closed the following comment from
the "New York Herald," in a letter
recently received at the college
office:
"Stevens Tech went through an-
other season without defeat — a feat
which was made possible by the sane-
ness of the engineers in drawing up
their schedule. Stevens realizes that
it cannot hope to cope with the big
teams, and it stays away from them.
It plays in its own class, and manages
to do mighty well in that."
In addition this alumnus said:
"The above comment is particularly
pertinent by reason of the recent game
at West Point, and I trust will be kept
in mind in making up future sched-
ules."
Bowdoin Students
Speak at Bangor H. S.
The following taken from a "Ban-
gor Commercial" of last week is of
interest in connection with the work
of undergraduate speakers in the high
schools outlined at the recent sectional
rally:
"An illustrated lecture on Bowdoin
College was presented in the Assembly
Hall at the High school Monday dur-
ing the last period. This lecture was
for the boys of the Classical and Sci-
entific courses in the junior and senior
classes, and was given by Oliver G.
Hall, Paul H. Eames and James E.
Mitchell, students of the college. Mr.
Mitchell, the first speaker, talked up-
on admission to the college, the possi-
bilities of the courses offered in the
curriculum, and the expenses of the
four year course. Mr. Eames gave a
short history of Bowdoin past and
present, what the college has done in
past years and is doing at present,
while Mr. Hall spoke on the college
life in general, showing views of the
buildings and equipment, pictures of
members of the facult}^ and famous
alumni."
According to a note received from
the college office the Bowdoin delega-
tion at Oxford consisting of Neal Tut-
tle '14, Robert P. Coffin '15, Sidney M.
Brown '16, Hal S. White '17, and
Philip D. Crockett '20, is one of the
largest among the American colleges
there.

showing as a pitcher. He is an all-
round athlete and it is to be hoped
that Bowdoin will see him again.

1911 — Charles Boardman Hawes has
had published by the Atlantic Month-
ly Press a new book, "The Mutineers,"
which has been very favorably re-
viewed. The following is taken from
the "Springfield Republican:" '"The
Mutineers' reads like one of the old
sea captain's journals to be seen in
manuscript in the Essex institute at
Salem. On just such material the
author has based his story of a voyage
to the Far East more than 100 years
ago. He makes the narrator a cer-
tain Benjamin Lathrop, a youth, who
tells of the struggles of his captain
and officers with mutineers, of the
free use of pikes, cutlasses and guns,
of adventures ashore on a strange
south-sea island, and finally of the ar-
rival of their good ship, the Island
Princess, at her destined port. It is
a tale with the true flavor of the time
it professes to portray, and will have
the genuine attraction for boys of all
ages that similar stories by Stevenson
and other lovers of the South Sea and
its shores possess."

What Is Air?
BEFORE 1894 every chemist thought he knew what air is. "A
mechanical mixture of moisture, nitrogen and oxygen, with
traces of hydrogen and carbon dioxide, " he would explain.
There was so much oxygen and nitrogen in a given sample that he
simply determined the amount of oxygen present and assumed the
rest to be nitrogen.
One great English chemist, Lord Rayleigh, found that the nitro-
gen obtained from the air was never so pure as that obtained from
some compound like ammonia. What was the "impurity"? In
co-operation with another prominent chemist, Sir William Ramsay,
it was discovered in an entirely new gas — "argon. " Later came the
discovery of other rare gases in the atmosphere. The air we breathe
contains about a dozen gases and gaseous compounds.
This study of the air is an example of research in pure science.
Rayleigh and Ramsay had no practical end in view — merely the dis-
covery of new facts.
A few years ago the Research Laboratories of the General Electric
Company began to study the destruction of filaments in exhausted
lamps in order to ascertain how this happened. It was a purely
scientific undertaking. It was found that the filament evaporated
— boiled away, like so much water.
Pressure will check boiling or evaporation. If the pressure within
a boiler is very high, it will take more heat than ordinarily to boil the
water. Would a gas under pressure prevent filaments from boiling
away? If so, what gas? It must be a gas that will not combine
chemically with the filament.. The filament would burn in oxygen;
hydrogen would conduct the heat away too rapidly. Nitrogen is a
useful gas in this case. It does form a few compounds, however.
Better still is argon. It forms no compounds at all.
Thus the modern, efficient, gas-filled lamp appeared, and so argon,
which seemed the most useless gas in the world, found a practical
application.
Discover new facts, and their practical application will take care
of itself.
And the discovery of new facts is the primary purpose of the
Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company.
Sometimes years must elapse before the practical application of a
discovery becomes apparent, as in the case of argon; sometimes a
practical application follows from the mere answering of a "theoret-
ical "question, as in the case of a gas-filled lamp. But no substantial
progress can be made unless research is conducted for the purpose of
discovering new facts.

The Football Games of 1920
Bowdoin has just finished one of
her most successful football seasons
among the Maine colleges in recent
years. Starting in with a light squad
and many odds against her, the faith-
ful White gridiron men fought up to
a tie for the Maine championship and
to a notable position among New Eng-
land elevens. The history of this sea-
son is that of a hard series of grid-
iron battles grimly contested and
never lost while yet an ounce of en-
durance remained in the Bowdoin
warriors. But in the face of the many
obstacles the Bowdoin gridders of this
season have followed the example of

Meeting of
Philadelphia Alumni
At a meeting last Friday evening
of the Bowdoin Club of Philadelphia
with Mr. Cyrus H. K. Curtis (Honor-
ary M. A., 1913), in the private dining
room of the Curtis Publishing Com-
pany, there was a larger number
of Bowdoin men present than at any
previous meeting. There was much
enthusiasm regarding the Bowdoin
Endowment Fund, and after this pre-
liminary meeting the club has sent
$300. It was further agreed that at
the next meeting every one would
come prepared to subscribe for just
as much as possible.
There was enthusiastic discussion
about the boulevard around the
campus which was proposed last
year by Frederick L. Smith '86. The
club also talked over various ways in
which it could be of assistance to the
Placement Bureau.
The Puritans— "The Huge
Mischance of History"
Author of Shelburne Essays Tells of
These Early New En glanders —
Their Ideals and Their Literature.
The Annie Talbot Cole lecturer this
year was Paul Elmer More, Litt.D., of
Princeton, whose studies in New Eng-
land literature have eminently fitted
him to speak upon "The Spirit and
Poetry of Early New England." His
address was delivered before a very
appreciative audience in Memorial
Hall on the evening of December 7.
The body of the address resolved
itself into three main divisions, name-
ly; the tracing of Puritan tendencies
in our New England literature to their
source in Puritan England; a general
discussion of the very early writers
and their works; and an illuminating
portrayal of the love of home and re-
ligion, with incidental recognition of
the hard path of religious evolution,
as the dominating element in the New
England spirit.

A. E. Morrell '22 Elected
Football Captain for 1921
Last Tuesday noon, after this year's
letter men had had their group pic-
ture taken at Webber's studio, Allen
E. Morrell '22 was elected captain of
the 1921 football team. As everyone
in college knows, he has been one of
the most brilliant stars on the team
this fall, particularly in the punting
game, in which he has been without
an equal in the state during the past
season.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
The 1920 Football Season
(Continued from page 277)
a long line of illustrious predecessors
who have made the Bowdoin fighting
spirit famous.
The season started at Springfield
under most unsettling conditions. The
weather was suffocatingly hot, the
field hard and dusty, while the home
team had the choice of a hundred
good men as against Bowdoin's seven-
teen. The heavier Y. M. C. A. eleven
gained its twenty-one tallies at a heavy
cost in injured, as the home players
required time out continually. But
Bowdoin's loss was far from light, for
after "Dumpy" Dahlgren had demon-
strated his ground-gaining prowess to
good effect, the game half-back was
forced to leave the field because of
an injury to his knee, which kept him
out of the game until the day the
Maine cohorts invaded Whittier Field.
Bisson's defensive work was a revela-
tion, and Joe Smith proved to be the
mainstay of the team after he got
into the game early in the first period.
His brilliant defensive checked no less
than six touchdowns.
The next game was a far different
story. At Medford, the Tufts eleven,
a shade lighter than Bowdoin, was
unable to cope with the aerial attacks
of Morrell and Parent and the high-
class punting of Morrell. Macchia's
lucky recovery of a fumble lost us the
game by a single touchdown. Bisson
was at his best until an injury forced
him to withdraw, not to play again
until the Bates game. Smith at
quater and Mason at tackle played re-
markably well. The press seemed
agreed that, but for the intervention
of luck, the game belonged to Bow-
doin.
When Bowdoin met Amherst the fol-
lowing Saturday, the line-up was
somewhat shattered by injuries which
kept a number .of first string men out
of the game. The Amherst team out-
classed the White in the first half,
scoring thirteen points. Bowdoin
came back in the second half, twice
reaching the enemy's five yard line
to be held for downs. The aerial work
was of considerable value and Al Mor-
rell's punting proved a feature, his
average being around fifty yards.
In the first home game, although the
score was but six to nothing, Bow-
doin played rings around Trinity. Un-
able at any time to pierce the solid
White line, the visitors had little hope
of a victory, but Bowdoin should have
piled up a much larger score. A pass
from Morrell to Parent behind the
posts was responsible for the touch-
down.
At Waterville Bowdoin cut her first
notch in the state series tally board
by obtaining the correct end of a
seven to nothing score. Al Morrell,
Turner, Dudgeon, and Gibbons were
the big sensations of the day, while
Parent, Mason, Eames, Smith, and
Whitney all did very creditable work.
Joe Smith made the only touchdown
of the game by nosing the leather over
the heaped mass of linesmen after
Turner had brought it to within a few
inches of the goal. The teams were
evenly matched and both in excellent
condition, but the Blue and Gray was
unable to compete with Turner's hard
line plunging and Al Morrell's slash-
ing runs.
At Lewiston the following Satur-
day, Bowdoin made gain after gain
through the Bates line, but was un-
able to get the ball over the last
chalk mark. Perry pulled a sensation
with his forty yard run, and Turner,
Dudgeon, and Gibbons earned new
laurels. Gibbons, -on a wonderful fifty-
yard pass from Perry, once reached
the Bates three-yard line but was
called back because of an interference.
Such unlucky breaks seemed to force
the scoreless tie onto Bowdoin. In
spite of the injuries he had received
in the Colby game, Pick Turner
played at his best, gaining consistent-
ly in his drives at the line and break-
ing- up play after play with his bril-
liant defense.
The big game of the year was on
the home grounds with Maine on No-
vember 6. The Blue warriors out-
weighed the White and showed a
slight edge in the way of line plung-
ing, but they were over confident and
Bowdoin's fight prevented the victory
which Maine had regarded a mere
certainty. Maine's sole touchdown was
scored on Small's seventy-seven yard
sprint, her backs being unable to
pierce the powerful Bowdoin defense
at other crucial moments. Pick Turner
played like a whirlwind throughout
the game, ploughing through the Blue
line for gain after gain and, on the
defensive, spilling the enemy runners
whenever they had the audacity or the
ill luck to come within running dis-
tance of him. Al Morrell's punting
surpassed anything exhibited in the
state this year, and Smith, Woodbury,
Dudgeon, and Miller fought their way
to enviable records in this season's
history.
Minus some of the best players on
the squad, Bowdoin played West Point
for the last game of the season and
was defeated ninety to nothing. Just
as Yale has decided to discard Boston
College from future football schedules
so it is surmised that in similar man-
ner Bowdoin will not include the Army
henceforth.
In spite of the last game and early
season reverses, Bowdoin men are
proud of this year's team as one of
the best fighting elevens that have .
represented the college in the last
several years.

erence. A study of these records re-
veals the following facts:
With the three colleges Bowdoin
has won 46 games, lost 31, and tied in
8. With Bates Bowdoin has won 18,
lost 8, and tied 2. With Colby Bow-
doin has won 17, lost 12, and tied 3.
In the U. of M. series each team has
won 11 games, and played 3 ties. The

COLE LECTURE
(Continued from page 277)
Mr. More devoted some time in
opening to the period of literary and
dramatic decadence under the violence
of the Puritans in Old England. Like
that of their successors in the New
World, theirs was a grim outlook on
life, and the inflexibility of their piety
is deeply embedded in many, yes, in
all of the written outpourings of that
era. But harsh and stern as it was,
the literature of Puritanism furnished
to both European and American litera-
ture a no slight elevation in moral
tone, a touch of the best in human
hearts to combine with the best in
human minds. Indeed modern litera-
ture owes much to the Puritans for
their ideals, if not for the beauty and
symmetry of their literary produc-
tions.
The pioneers of American civiliza-
tion, imbued with an insistent re-
ligious zeal, found little godliness
amidst the sombre forests, inhabited
as they were by "howling savages"
who knew nothing of Christianity and
who, according to William Strachem
(a Virginia pioneer), were nothing
more nor less than heathen devil-
worshippers. The gloom of their sur-
roundings was transferred to the
thoughts and writings of the early
men of letters. Even Captain John
Smith, that intrepid Indian fighter,
was moved to write doggerel verse
anent the tribulations of this world,
while later on and farther up the coast
in Massachusetts, the gruesome re-
citals of the colonists' terror of the
witches and their supernatural craft
became the foundation of Hawthorne's
dark psychology.
The lecturer read selections from
several early poets. Included among
these selections were portions from
the Psalms as translated by Cotton
Mather and some of his associates,
and a quaint bit of Michael Wiggles-
worth's theological monstrosity, "The
Day of Doom." These writings ex-
hibited all the crudity of structure to
be expected in the work of zealots
striving to change the whole struc-
ture of literature into something of
their own manufacture, but they are
of value, nevertheless, for their abso-
lute sincerity and the energy and
straightforwardness of imagination
exhibited in them.
Ann Bradstreet, the ancestress of
such men as Richard Henry Dana,
Oliver Wendell Holmes and Charles
Eliot Norton, was cited as a character
typifying the combination of spiritual
and literary impulse. Her poetry
took on very little more of polish and
form than that of her predecessors.
Mistress Bradstreet was possessed of
the happy faculty t>f being able to do
two things at once and to do both well.
In spite of the vast demands of house-
hold duties, which she performed en-
viably well, this sweet poetess found
much time for undisturbed study and
meditation. Hers was the spirit of
the times. Harsh as was the life of
the colonists, it contained the funda-
mentals of the truly beautiful, and it
was on account of this truth that the
early New England spirit has lived on
in the lives and writings of our later
poets. Whittier, Longfellow, and
Lowell found much of the essence of
their philosophy in the simple but firm
beliefs expressed by Mistress Ann.
New England philosophy has, of
course, evolved into something vastly
more complex than it was in those
early days, the heresies of the good-
wives having become the fundamentals
of more modern thought in religious
lines, but the base of it all is found
in the early New England spirit of
godliness and the love of home and
family.
Naturally enough, early theology,
philosophy, and literature were rather
crude but the constant enlarging and
improving which these have undergone
at the hands of the makers' descend-
ants, resulting in a glorious chapter
of American literature have more
than justified the humble beginnings
in literature of such as Michael Wig-
glesworth and Ann Bradstreet. "The
Puritans are justified of their chil-
dren." G. W. R.
The Puritan attitude in England
which resulted in the truly fine poetry
of such Puritans as Milton and Bun-
yan, very curiously produced no such
effects in the new-found colonies of
America. When considering this, one
must take into account that the Puri-
tans were drawn from only a few
counties of England and not the whole
country at large, or in the words of
Dr. More: "They are only a small
branch of the mighty tree of English
280

literature." Realizing- this, one gains
a keener understanding of the lack of
poetry in early New England. Any
poetry that they did produce had to be
kept within the narrow bounds of re-
ligious retsraint. This is why no love
poetry was written, and this is why
the poetry of that early age, has such
a cold and meagre appearance.
The Puritans, although they did not
produce a wealth of poetry, although
their lives were lonely and one per-
petual battle against evil, did make
one great contribution to literature.
This was their conception of moral
character, which the world at that
time, sadly needed. This contribution,
a most valuable one, has pervaded
American and English literature down
to the present day.
In that early Puritanage there were
rebels and leaders of revolt, just as
there have been in every country in
every period. Mistress Anne Hutch-
inson was the most notable of these
interesting figures. She taught, and
suffered for her teaching, the doctrines
which were afterwards perfected in
the essays of Emerson and the poems
of Whittier, these doctrines that are
among the choicest possessions of
American literature.
Whatever may be said against the
Puritans, one cannot deny that they
built a firm foundation for the noble
structure of New England poetry.
Longfellow, Hawthorne, Lowell
Holmes, and Whittier — such are the
descendants of the Pilgrim fathers.
One wonders what the old Puritan
fathers would say of Amy Lowell and
Robert Frost. They might find even
him too pagan. Nevertheless, their
spirit still lives on, and is expressed
in the virtues and limitations of this
great American republic.

Perley S. Turner '21— full-back.
Aside from the material in the
"Telegram," Jack has picked an all-
Maine team for this season, which
coincides exactly with the selections
in the "Lewiston Journal." Jack was
somewhat doubtful about the choice for
centre and for left tackle on this team,
thinking that Guptill was practically
as strong as Enholme of Colby in
every respect, and finding Guiney of
Bates not very far superior to other
possibilities for the tackle position.
In the "Portland Telegram" of last
Sunday appeared an article discussing
a team selected by Trainer Magee
from the football elevens of the last
eight years, since Jack has been here.
Following is the line-up of this all-
star team:
Benjamin P. Bradford '17 — left end.
Guy W. Leadbetter '16— left tackle.
James H. Brewster '16 — left guard.

Biology Club Meeting
Last Thursday evening the Biology
Club met at the Chi Psi Lodge to
complete initiations for the first se-
mester and to consider various other
matters pertaining to its work for
the present year. The following ten
men were initiated: L. E. Gibson '21,
A. B. Holmes '21, R. R. Schonland '21,
W. W. Alexander '22, J. L. Anderson
'22, H. R. Smith '22, E. S. Lothrop '23,
Thor Miller '23, E. J. Sirois '23, H. C.
Webb '23.
Plans regarding the Outing Club
were discussed. The last two Satur-
days some of the members have gone
with Professors Copeland and Gross
along Pine street about two miles be-
yond the Pine Grove Cemetery to the
location of a log cabin which, when
completed, is to be used for over-night
field trips taken by the Biology Club
and by the Audubon societies.
With this meeting the club has
completed its list of members, so that
it has forty-four men now in the
academic division of the college;
23 Seniors, 14 Juniors, and 7 Sopho-
mores.
Professor Copeland spoke of sev-
eral speakers, who, it is hoped, will
be able to address the club at differ-
ent times during the year. Among
them were Professor Pomeroy of
Bates and Professor Chester of Colby.

This number is the last issue of the
"Orient" for the fall term. The next
"Orient" is scheduled to appear Tues-
day, January 4, 1921, the first day of
the winter term.
It has been impossible to include a
number of news items this week clue to
lack of space resulting from the foot-
ball articles.
OBOitorml
The 1920 Football Team.
Bowdoin has reason to congratulate
herself on this year's football team.
The reason for congratulation lies not
so much in a brilliant season as in the
spirit that every member of her ag-
gregation displayed. Nor was the
season by any means unsuccessful in
any sense of the word. Though the
White lost all its extra-state games,
the scores, with the exception of the
last, did not show the opponents to be
overwhelmingly superior. Bowdoin
was handicapped, too, in its early sea-
son games by injuries to several of
her first-string men. After the first
half of the Amherst game, however, a
new spirit seemed to grip the "de-
fenders of the White," and was fol-
lowed by defeats over Trinity and
Colby. Against the desperately fight-
ing Bates players Bowdoin was un-
able to score, though several times in
striking distance of the Garnet goal
line.
It was in the Maine game that the
traditional Bowdoin fighting spirit
reached its climax. Then it was that
the team gave its utmost for its alma
mater, and refused to be beaten in
spite of seemingly unsurmountable
odds. Maine scored, but Bowdoin took
the ball down the field with a terrific
drive that nothing could stop. A
Princeton man declared the game to
be the best exemplification of pure,
downright fight that he had ever
seen, and his opinion was sub-
stantiated by scores of competent
critics.
According to Coach Greene, the
team deserves more credit than as if it
had won an easy championship. And
Coach Greene certainly deserves his
share of praise for developing such
an eleven from material that was, for
the most part, extremely mediocre at
the beginning of the season. The
members of the squad know that
"Roger" worked day and night to per-
fect his organization, and in this he
was ably seconded by Assistant Coach
"Jim" Brewster. On the training end,
Trainer "Jack" Magee was invaluable
in building up the condition and
morale of the team. An unusually
able bunch of assistant managers co-
operated in attending to the needs and
comforts of the squad, and the con-
census of opinion, is that "Larry"
Willson was the "best little manager
ever." In this issue are sung the
praises of those men who won their
letter; we wish to give our tribute to
those unsung heroes, the substitutes,
who bear the brunt of the scrimmage
and whose only reward is the satis-
faction of doing their bit for their
alma mater.
Yes, it was a great team, great not
for victories won, but great on ac-
count of that something that makes
men play better and harder than they
know how. That is why Bowdoin men
are satisfied with their team and why
they look toward future years with
confidence and courage.
F. A. S.
St. Clair '21 has recently been ap-
pointed Intercollegiate News Editor of
the "Orient," which not long ago en-
tered the Intercollegiate Newspaper
Association. It is expected that many
interesting items of news from other
colleges will be included in the
"Orient" beginning next term.
It is regretted that in the list of en-
rollment in courses printed not long
ago in the "Orient," English 5, in
which there are six students, was
omitted. If any other courses were
also overlooked the "Orient" would
gladly print a supplementary list, if
so desired.
Freshmen Win
Interclass Debate
The annual Freshman-Sophomore
debate, which was held in the debat-
ing room of the library on December
6, was fairly easily won by 1924. The
winners upheld the affirmative of the
question, "Resolved, that before the
next Presidential election a system of
direct voting should be substituted for
that of the electoral college."
The winners had a considerably
better ordered argument than their
opponents, and also their delivery was
far more forceful. The members of
the Freshman team were George E.
Hill, Donald W. MacKinnon, Clarence
D. Rouillard, and Glenn W. Gray (al-
ternate). The Sophomore team con-
sisted of Theodore W. Cousens, Leo
A. Daviau, Clifford O. Small, and Roy
M. Fitzmorris (alternate).
The coaches for the debate were
Welch '22 for the winners, and Helson
'21 for the losers. Hatch '21 acted as
presiding officer. The judges were
Professor Andrews, Professor Van
Cleve, and Principal Philip H. Kim-
ball '11 of Brunswick High School.
The committee in charge consisted of
Thayer '22 (chairman), Buker '21, and
Helson' 21.

CAPTAIN-ELECT A. E. MORRELL,
All-Maine Half Back.
Allen E. Morrell '22 of Wayland,
Mass., the Captain-elect for the sea-

on the all-Maine team chiefly through
his splendid punting. In the Maine

being one of the most influential mem-

Manager M. Lawrence Willson '21
of Sussex, N. J., has been awarded a
letter this fall. He has been very
prominent in campus activities, being
class vice-president in Junior year,
and a member of the Abraxas. Last
year he won his letter in hockey, and
of course, bids fair to represent the
White in that sport this winter.
P. S. TURNER,
All-Maine Full-back.
Perley S. Turner '21 of Portland is
another fighter of much the same type
as Dudgeon. He had not the slight-
est difficulty in gaining the full-back
position on any all-Maine eleven
chosen this fall. He was the sensa-
tion of the Maine game ,and in near-
ly every game he succeeded in bring-
ing the crowd to its feet with his
brilliant line plunging and no less ef-
fective defensive work. This year
was his first appearance in a Bow-
doin uniform since 1916 when' he won
his football letter for the first time.
Pick has also starred for Bowdoin in
track, winning his letter in Freshman
year as a middle distance runner. We
expect to hear from him again this
year on the cinder path.
Paul H. Eames '21 of Bangor was
another guard who won a letter this
season. He and Haines played beside
the centre in nearly every game.
Eames came through in superb fash-

fore the play, and could be depended
on to snap it at the right time to just
the right place.
N. W. HAINES,
Guard.
Norman W. Haines '21 of Green-
land, N. H., played guard throughout
the season, and won a well-earned let-
ter after being a second-string man
for three years. Not many plays were
forced through him, although a large
number were headed his way in the
Maine game, in which it was impossi-
ble, however, to gain consistently
through his section of the line. He
has been active in campus organiza-
tions, being Editor-in-Chief of the
"Orient" and a former manager of
tennis.
Wilfred L. Parent '21 of Boston
guarded the left end of the team dur-
ing most of the games this season.
He is always there when a tackle is
to be made, and is invariably a close
follower of the ball, having made a
number of brilliant runs down the
field in the course of his four years
on the Bowdoin team. As for re-
ceiving passes he is found clear from
the enemy linemen time and again, —
witness the passes that won the
Trinity game and saved the Maine
game this year as only two of the
examples. Along with his football
work, Bill has starred in track, show-
ing himself to be the best low hurdler
in New England last spring, and the
best broad jumper in Maine.

the Springfield game, and never again
during the whole season, was he able
to show much of the work that won
him such a name a year ago. The
"Lewiston Journal" in its all-Maine
selection would have considered him
strongly for a position if these in-
juries had not ruled him out so much
of the time.
H. G. McCURDY,
Centre.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
Hugh G. McCurdy '22 of Spring-
field, a letter man of last year, was
unable to repeat his performance of
last season, largely owing to injuries,
which kept him out of many of the
games. He has a keen knowledge of
football, and is an expert at the spiral
pass. With better fortune next year,
he is sure to be a powerful factor in
the centre of the Bowdoin line.
R. G. WOODBURY,
Quarter-back.
Roliston G. Woodbury '22 of Saco,
Smith's running mate at the quarter-
back position, has made an enviable
record for himself in various games
this fall, particularly in the Maine
game, when he engineered the 77-yard
march finally resulting in the tying
score. His forward pass to Parent in
this game was a perfect play, and
showed good headwork in the tightest
kind of a position.
Casimir A. Bisson '23 of Skowhe-
gan has been handicapped nearly all
season with injuries, but not enough
to prevent him from winning a letter.
He has played good ball as a back
field man, and was able to rip off sev-
eral good runs, so that other teams
did not sit back and rest when he
started to carry the ball. This year
he is president of his class. Last year
he showed up strong in track, but was
unable to compete in the Maine meet.

back to punt or drop-kick, serving as
a punter at times when Morrell was
on the injured list. He was the one
who was cool enough to place the ball
between the goal posts to tie the score
with Maine.
Norman F. Miller '23 of Lewiston,
another half-back handicapped with
injuries during a good part of the
season, was able to win his letter this
fall. He played in the back field regu-

himself of this task in fine style, go-
ing into eveiy play with all kinds of
fight, such that more than one com-
ment was made on his woi'k by the
spectators. Though denied the chance
of playing all the time this year with
his injuries, there is little doubt as to
his making an excellent record in
future if good luck keeps him off the
injured list.

Joseph I. Smith '23, one of the first
string quarter-backs, has always
shown all kinds of pep and fight, —
the spirit that wins football games.
He could always get the most out of
the team as "field general." His de-
fensive work was of high order, as,
for example, his tackling in the
Springfield game which produced such
widespread newspaper comment.

won this year in football, is the base-

runs, as well as getting in some credit-
able defense work.
A. E. GIBBONS,
All-Maine End.
Albert E. Gibbons '24 of Reading,
Mass., has developed from an entirely
inexperienced player to the best end
(according to Jack Magee) who has
represented Bowdoin in the last seven
years. He got into every play, never
set out to pull spectacular plays, but
did the work of saving the back field
as much as possible on the defense,
and breaking down as much opposition
as he could on the offense. He has
made, however, not a few brilliant
gains as the receiver of forward
passes. He had no difficulty, of course,
in being chosen an all-Maine end this
fall.
Malcolm E. Morrell '24 of Wayland,
Mass., and brother of next year's cap-
tain, made a fine start this fall for a
brilliant football career as a half-
back. He played in numerous games,

LECTURER ON THE
SITUATION IN INDIA
Monday, December 6, in Adams
Hall, Rustom Rustomjee, former edi-
tor of the "Oriental Review" of Bom-
bay, India, and member of the Indian
National Congress, gave a lecture on
the political, religious, and educa-
tional conditions in India. The main
point of his discussion was that the
people of India are satisfied with the
India of today and with British con-
trol, and that Great Britain ought to
remain in power in India both for her
own interests and for the welfare of
the Hindu nation.

Henry Sprince of Lewiston was
elected secretary and treasurer.
Two papers on medical subjects are
to be read by members at each meet-
ing. The readings will be followed
by a discussion of the material con-
sidered in the papers.
Initiation of the Freshman Medics
and other activities were brought up
at this meeting. The club expects a
very active and successful season.
HISTORY CLUB
Last Friday evening the History
Club met with Professor Van Cleve
for a preliminary discussion of the
French Revolution in general, with its
causes, chief events, results, and so
forth. As planned at a previous
meeting the members will give a
series of papers during the year on
the prominent figures in the revolu-
tion. In this way the events of the
revolution will be set forth in an in-
teresting manner, with a large num-
ber of notable details which might
otherwise be easily overlooked. Last
night (Tuesday) the club met again
at the Delta Upsilon house, where
Toyokawa '21 read a paper on Turgot.
Bowdoin Leads New Eng-
land Colleges in Red
Cross Memberships
As reported in a recent issue of the
"Boston Transcript," Bowdoin had the
largest percentage of members en-
rolled during the Fourth Red Cross
Roll Call in any of the men's colleges.
However, as the returns were not re-
ceived until too late, the honor flag
offered by the New England Division
of the Red Cross was awarded to Wil-
liams, which actually finished second.
Bowdoin enrolled 356 students, or 90
per cent., while Williams enrolled 492,
but only 86 per cent. Brown was
third with 80 per cent.

Meeting of Bowdoin

Largest Gathering in History of Club
— Speakers From Faculty and Un-

The meeting of the Bowdoin Club
of Portland held in the Falmouth
Hotel Tuesday, December 28, was the
largest and most enthusiastic in the
history of the club. Two hundred and
fifty-six men were seated at the tables
which filled the large dining room to
its capacity. After the dinner Presi-

Turner and Gibbons
On Football Honor List
Among the 156 college football
players in the country to be selected
by the Outing Magazine this year
are two Bowdoin men, Turner '21 and
Gibbons '24. These two stars are the
only ones from the Maine colleges to
be chosen. The names on the list are
chosen as the result of careful selec-
tion by prominent football coaches of
the country, all-around ability being
considered rather than spectacular
performances. At least two coaches
have recommended every player
whose name appears in the list.
The choice of Turner is a fine re-
ward for his excellent work on the
team each year while he has been in
college. This makes it all the more
manifest that Bowdoin is suffering a
heavy loss in the backfield next fall
without him. On the other hand the
selection of Gibbons, a first-year man,
is a splendid augury for the future.
Let us merely think what can easily
be expected from a player who has
started his_football career in such
first-class fashion.
A Record and a Tribute
In a notable record of the part
played by American college men in
the war — "The American Colleges and
Universities in the Great War"- — by
Charles Franklin Thwing, President
of Western Reserve University, there
appears at the close a quotation in full
of the poem of Hal S. White '17,
which appeared in the "Boston Tran-
script" of October 29, 1918, and was
copied in the "Orient" of November
12, 1918. The poem is preceded by
these words of President Thwing:
"Whatever special shape they (college
memorials) assume they will embody
the spirit which stirred the soul of
the soldier student who went forth
prepared to die. The spirit has been
movingly set forth in many a poem
and noble paragraph. But in no verse
written by college man for college
man has the spirit been more fitting-
ly embodied than in the verses which
Lieutenant White wrote of his Bow-
doin friend, Forbes Rickard, Jr., who
was killed in action in the summer of
1918."
President Sills at
Important Meetings
in Chicago
During the Christmas holidays
President Sills went to Chicago to at-
tend various meetings of importance
to the college. On December 28 he
was at the meeting of the Bowdoin
Alumni Association of Chicago, and
the day following at the meeting of
representatives of the National Inter-
collegiate Athletic Association. Presi-
dent Sills also conferred with several
of the officers of the Council on Medi-
cal Education of the American Medi-
cal Association. In addition to these
affairs in Chicago, President Sills was
also invited to the annual banquet and
meeting of the Minneapolis Alumni
Association, which was held last week.

Special Meetings of
Trustees and Overseers
Offer of Education Board Accepted —
Thomas Means, Yale '10, to Teach

Judge Powers '75 Elected to Trustees — Judge
Morrill '76, Vice President of Overseers
— Action Taken on Medical School
Friday and Saturday, December 17-
18, the governing boards of the col-
lege held special meetings to decide on
a number of important matters which
called for immediate consideration.
The chief subject decided upon was
the action to be taken in regard to
the medical school. The result of this
is contained in President Sills' state-
ment in chapel, which is to be found
elsewhere in these columns. A com-
mittee of the boards was chosen to
attend to all business pertaining to
the closing of the medical school, con-
sisting_of President Sills, Franklin C.
Payson '76, Hon. William T. Cobb '77,
and Hon. Charles F. Johnson '79, from
the Trustees; Dr. Daniel A. Robinson
'73, George F. Cary '88, and Philip G.
Clifford '03, from the Overseers.
Hon. . Frederick A. Powers '75,
former judge on the Supreme Court
of the State, was elected from the
board of overseers to fill the vacancy
in the trustees caused by the death of
Judge Lucilius A. Emery '61. Judge
Powers was also chosen to fill the va-
cancy in the examining committee.
The newly elected trustee has been a
very prominent man in state circles.
From 1885 to 1888 he was a member
of the Maine House of Representa-
tives, and of the state senate in
1891-2. From 1893 to 1897 he was
State Attorney-General, and soon af-
ter this won a seat in the Supreme
Court. In 1907 he resigned this po-
sition. The following year he was
elected to the board of overseers at
Bowdoin. In 1912 he was a Republi-
can candidate for the National Senate.
Bowdoin conferred the degree of
LL.D. upon Judge Powers in 1906.
Hon. John A. Morrill '76, who has
been a member of the board of over-
seers since 1888, was elected vice-
president to succeed Judge Powers.
The offer of the General Education
Board of New York City, which Pres-
ident Sills announced to the college in
November, was accepted. The sum of
$150,000 toward $600,000 for endow-
ment (the income from this to be
used for the increase of teachers' sal-
aries) has been offered by the Educa-
tion Board together with a grant of
$7,500 a year for the next three years,
as the equivalent of the income of the
fund. It was decided that the sup-
plemental sum of $450,000 to complete
the $600,000 fund should be collected
by July 1, 1922. Of this $100,000 has
already been received. The raising of
this endowment fund has been placed
in charge of the directors of the
Alumni Fund, of whom Philip Dana
'96 is chairman. The other eight di-
rectors are William J. Curtis '75,
Franklin C. Payson '76, Charles T.
Hawes '76, Harold L. Berry '01, Rip-
ley L. Dana '01, George R. Walker '02,
E. Farrington Abbott '03, and Ralph
O. Brewster '09.
Professor Ham was elected to the
George Taylor Files Professorship of
Modern Languages, which was estab-
lished last June by Mrs. Files in mem-
ory of Professor Files.
It was voted to grant Dean Nixon a
leave of absence for the next
semester, and Thomas Means, Yale
1910, was selected to fill his place for
the remainder of the year. Mr. Means
received an A.M. from Yale in 1911,
after which he spent three years at
Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. In 1916-7
he studied in the graduate school at
Harvard, but for the next two years
served in the war. At present he is
teaching in a Yale tutorial school. He
has made a brilliant record in the
study of the classics, and it is ex-
pected that his work here will be
highly successful.

leader. A notable list of speakers
had been secured by the officers in
charge of the meeting.
Professor Mitchell '90 began with a
discussion of the traditions of Bow-
doin. Professor Meserve '11 discussed
the entrance requirements. McGor-
rill '22 analyzed the cost of education
at Bowdoin. Buker '21 presented an
account of student government, the
problems involved, and the methods
of solving them. Jack Magee gave a
detailed and interesting account of
the opportunities for physical culture
and athletic training. G. R. Asnault
'20 recited his well-known 'tragedy,'
"A Wife in Name Only, or, Lemons
in Orange Blossoms." Dr. Frank A.
Smith '12 described with apt illustra-
tion the quality of the "Bowdoin
morale." Turner '21 concluded the
list with a speech on the Bowdoin
spirit.
Among the faculty present at this
meeting were Professors Andrews,
Burnett, Cram, Ham, Meserve, Mitch-
ell, Moody, Van Cleve, and Whittier.
For this highly successful and im-
portant meeting great credit must be
given to the committee who had it in
charge.
According to the "Portland Ex-
press,"— "Replete with real Bowdoin
spirit, enthusiastic speeches, ringing
songs, and the rolling Bowdoin yells,
the annual observance of Bowdoin
night by more than 250 alumni, un-
dergraduates, and guests was staged
at the Falmouth Hotel last night.
There was nothing lacking in the ar-
rangements for the annual get-
together and there was an atmos-
phere of good fellowship and fra-
ternity throughout the evening."
College Tea
For the first time in the last few
years a college tea was held in Hub-
bard Hall, Friday afternoon, Decem-
ber 17. A large number of the faculty
and students with their guests at-
tended, and consequently this revival
of a recent custom was successful and
very satisfactory.
In the receiving line were Mrs.
Sills, Mrs. Moody, Mrs. Hutchins, Mrs.
Whittier, Mrs. Mitchell, and Mrs.
Ham. The several pourers were Mrs.
Burnett, Mrs. Copeland, Mrs. Davis,
Mrs. Hormell, Mrs. Wilder, Mrs.
Wass, Mrs. Gross, Mrs. Nowlan, and
Miss Anna E. Smith.

Organization of
Bowdoin's Eleventh
Greek Letter Society
For a number of weeks this last
term a group of some twenty-five odd
students have been arranging and or-
ganizing a new Greek letter society
at Bowdoin. Just before Thanks-
giving their petition to the faculty
was acted upon and shortly before the
Christmas vacation the group had
completed its organization except for
obtaining a chapter house. Plans are
being made at present to purchase or
rent some building near the campus
which will be temporarily sufficient
and satisfactory. The name which
has been decided upon is Phi Delta
Psi. This year it is expected that
the members will do little more than
establish this eleventh fraternal or-
ganization on as firm a basis as possi-
ble, but it is hoped by these students
that next year Phi Delta Psi will hold
a good position in the college.
Classical Club Meeting
Tuesday evening, December 21st,
the Classical Club held its first meet-
ing of the year at the residence of
Dean Nixon on Federal street.
Officers for the year were elected, the
'pentathlon' was held, and plans were
made for the initiation to be held at
the next meeting (which will be
some time during this month). Nor-
man W. Haines '21 was elected
praeses, and Alexander Thomson '21,
elected scriba last spring, is to have
that office this year.
The new members to join the club
this year are W. F. Ferris '22, W. B.
Jacob '23, R. B. Love '23, G. T. Mason
'23, and W. W. Poore '23. The
'pentathlon' contest was easily won by
Mason, over Laughlin '21, Love, and
Poore.
ENTRANCE EXAMINATIONS
Entrance examinations for the re-
moval of conditions will be given this
month at the convenience of instruc-
tors. Men wishing to take these ex-
aminations should consult the depart-
ment concerned immediately, and
should also leave their names at the
Dean's office.

The Football Situation
No additional or different decision
has been made as yet regarding the
choice of a football coach for next
fall since the Athletic Council met
last term. During the vacation there
has been keen discussion between the
newspapers of Lewiston and Port-
land as a result of the student rally
held Monday, December 20. The
final outcome of this rally showed
that the students favored the reten-
tion of Major Roger A. Greene as
football coach by a vote of 125 to 34.
The minority favored the selection of
Fred V. Ostergren, the Portland H.
S. coach for the last several years.
The meeting of the Athletic Coun-
cil at which the choice of Ostergren
was made, was secret. According to
the statement of two of the members
the list of those voting for Greene
and for Ostergren as printed in the
"Lewiston Sun" on December 22 is
entirely incorrect.
There has been much argument as
to what extent the rally of December
20 was actually representative of stu-
dent opinion. There were numerous
speakers on both sides of the question
at the rally, among those in favor of
Major Greene being Willson '21,
Hatch '21, Wing '21, R. G. Putnam '22,
Boardman '21, and Miller '23, and
among those for Ostergren, Turner
'21, Myers '21, and J. I. Smith '23.
The most important statement that
has appeared in the newspapers is
the opinion of Captain-elect Morrell,
who has pointed out numerous rea-
sons for supporting Major Greene.
The football squad has voted 18 to
9 for the present system and the foot-
ball committee was unanimous for it.
Nothing is known, as yet, regarding
the nature of any action that may be
taken on this matter during the com-
ing month.
"I wrote the Prof, a little note at
the end of my examination, saying-
how much I enjoyed his course."
"What did he do?"
"Said I could take it over again if
I liked it so much." — Yale Record.
He didn't want to hit him hard, so
he pulled the trigger easy. — Brown

BOWDOIN ORIENT
Action of Boards
On Medical School
The following statement in regard
to the future of the Bowdoin Medical
School was issued by President Sills
in chapel on Wednesday, December
22, 1920:
By action of the Boards of Trustees and
Overseers of Bowdoin College at a meeting
held December 17 and 18, 1920, the Bowdoin
Medical School will be finally closed as a de-
partment of Bowdoin College at the end of the
current year, June, 1921, unless by that time
some way shall be found to meet the require-
ments necessary to keep the school in Class A
of American Medical Colleges. It has been
conservatively estimated that for this purpose
there must be an addition to the resources of
the school of $25,000 for immediate equip-
ment of laboratories and of at least $50,000
yearly income for more teachers and for up-
keep. Unfortunately at the present time the
College sees no way of securing such funds ;
the need of such an endowment has often been
placed before the people of Maine but the
appeals have never received an adequate re-
sponse.
The College will not apply for state aid for
the school. But if the citizens of Maine and
the friends of medical education who believe
that the maintenance of a Medical School is
properly a state function, desire to have the
Medical School re-established as a state insti-
tution under state control and adequately sup-
ported by the state, Bowdoin College will be
glad to give all assistance possible to that end,
and would doubtless offer for such a purpose
for temporary use, if desired, such part of the
buildings and apparatus of the College as
might be available.
The action of the governing boards of the
College, which contemplates the closing of the
school in June so far as Bowdoin is concerned
unless large and unexpected gifts should fur-
nish the necessary funds, was taken with deep
regret and for financial reasons. In 1820 the
Maine Medical School was established by the
State of Maine and placed "under the control,
superintendence and direction of the President
and Trustees and Overseers of Bowdoin Col-
lege." For over a hundred years the College
has carried on this trust to the best of its abil-
ity and has recently assumed cheerfully the
deficits of the school which in the aggregate
amount to over $38,000. If it were possible to
continue the school in Class A without great-
ly impairing the funds of the College, no doubt
the College would do so gladly. But it has
not the funds that will yield the necessary $50-
000 annual additional income. The Trustees
and Overseers of the College believe that there
is a place for a medical school in Maine and
are hopeful that the people of the state, de-
spite the great demands on the incoming legis-
lature, will establish such a school as a state
institution, around which all the medical and
public health of the state would be centered.
Hockey Schedule
Just before the vacation the hockey
schedule for this winter, as approved
by the faculty, was announced by
Manager Vose. Bowdoin is to have
five home games, on the new hockey
rink which has been constructed on
the Delta. The rink was flooded dur-
ing the vacation, and was ready for
practice for players coming back be-
fore the opening of college.
The season is to be opened with a
game against King's College of Wind-
sor, Nova Scotia, on January 6. This
team is touring New England playing
all the college hockey teams in this
vicinity. Two games are slated with
Tufts and three with Bates. The
schedule may be extended in the near
future, but at present it is as follows :
Jan. 6 — King's College at Brunswick.
Jan. 14 — Tufts at Brunswick.
Jan. 22 — -Bates at Brunswick.
Jan. 26 — Portland Country Club at Brunswick.
Feb. 12 — Bates at Lewiston.
Feb. 18 — Tufts at Boston.
Feb. 23 — Bates (place yet to be determined).
Feb. 26— Springfield Y. M. C. A. at Bruns-
wick.
There are five letter men from last
year's team, who recently elected A.
E. Morrell '22, captain. The other
letter men are M. L. Willson '21, R.
G. Putnam '22, D. F. Tice '23, and V.
S. Whitman '23.
Baseball Schedule
Bones — "What's a divorce suit?"
Groans — "The opposite of a union
suit." — Williams Purple Cow.
Football Schedule
A tentative football schedule for
next autumn appeared just before the
Christmas holidays. Bowdoin is to
play seven games, four of which may
be at Brunswick. Although all of
the colleges scheduled present strong
teams, they are, nevertheless, in Bow-
doin's athletic class. The game with
Tufts will be played either on Whit-
tier Field or in Portland. There is a
movement among the Portland alumni
to have the game played there. The
schedule follows:
October 1 — Rhode Island State at
Brunswick.
October 8 — Wesleyan at Middle-
town.
October 15 — Trinity at Hartford,
Conn.
October 22 — Colby at Brunswick.
October 29 — Bates at Brunswick.
November 5 — University of Maine
at Orono.
November 12 — Tufts at Brunswick
or Portland.
Bowdoin's baseball schedule of
twenty-four games this year is by far
the most ambitious one arranged for
the White for a number of seasons.
The outstanding feature of the sched-
ule is the Southern trip, in which
Bowdoin will measure up against
Princeton, Columbia, Dickinson, and
the University of Pennsylvania. The
team will be gone on this trip for
about a week during the Spring va-
cation. There will also be the usual
Massachusetts trip in which Amherst,
Wesleyan, Trinity, Boston College,
Boston University, and Brown will be
played. The schedule is as follows:
March 30 — Princeton at Princeton,
N. J. (pending).
March 31— Columbia at New York
City.
April 1 — Dickinson at Carlisle,
Penna.
April 2 — University of Pennsyl-
vania at Philadelphia.
April 9 — Open.
April 16 — Open.
April 19 — Bates at Lewiston (exhi-
bition game).
April 22 — Boston College at Bruns-
wick.
April 27 — Amherst at Amherst,
Mass.
April 28 — Wesleyan at Middletown,
Conn.
April 29— Trinity at Hartford,
Conn.
April 30 — Boston College at Chest-
nut Hill, Mass.
May 3 — Boston University at Bos-
ton.
May 4 — Brown at Providence, R. I.
May 7 — University of Maine at
Brunswick.
May 11 — Open.
May 14 — Tufts at Medf ord, Mass.
May 18 — Holy Cross at Portland.
May 21— Colby at Waterville.
May 25 — Colby at Brunswick.
May 28 — University of Maine at
Orono.
May 30 — Bates at Lewiston.
June 2 — Tufts at Brunswick (pend-
ing).
June 3 — Bates at Brunswick.

Next Season's Football Coach.
Just now discussion is rife concern-
ing the selection of next season's foot-
ball coach. Such discussion, if car-
ried on in the right spirit and ignor-
ing personalities, is a good indication
of a healthy and lively interest in
the affairs of the College.
Unfortunately, however, the discus-
sion did turn toward personalities,
and has developed into a pseudo-
sectional feud between the presses of
two nearby cities. Such an airing of
the matter through the press can only
put the College in an undesirable
light. To the public the logical con-
clusion is that the athletic authorities
do not know their own mind and are
liable to be swayed by the force of
public opinion, as expressed through
the newspapers.
The mass meeting of the student
body, though perhaps ill-advised and
not the best means of bringing about
the desired end, seemed the most
feasible way of conveying the senti-
ment of the students to the attention
of the athletic authorities. The fact
is regrettable that at this meeting,
too, personal issues were brought into
the discussion. While the Athletic
Council has undisputed authority in
the matter, there is no reason to
wonder why the undergraduates were
indignant that their opinion was not
even sought before taking action. It
is significant that a large majority of
those present favored retaining the
present coaching system.
Whatever the outcome of the affair
may be, we feel that the under-
graduates will stand behind any
action the Council may see fit to take,
whatever may be their personal
opinions or beliefs. As somebody
said at the mass meeting, Bowdoin is
bigger than the individual, and it is
toward the interests of Bowdoin that
all of us are looking.
MEDICINE IN MAINE.
One of the first acts of its Legis-
lature after Maine had been ad-
mitted to the Union was to provide
for the establishment of a medical
school in which there might be trained
the doctors who would care for the
health of the people of the young
State. Now, shortly after Maine has
completed a century of statehood, its
Legislature will again be called upon
to consider the problem which, very
likely, the legislators of a hundred
years ago thought they had solved
for all time.
The Maine Medical School was
placed under the care of Bowdoin Col-
lege, and has since been conducted by
that institution, but the time has
come when the college feels that it
can no longer bear the deficits of the
school, if it is maintained at a high
standard, and the Bowdoin trustees
and overseers wisely take the position
that the college shall not conduct a
school that is not properly equipped
and sufficiently endowed to fulfill its
mission efficiently and creditably.
Therefore, unless some action is taken
by the public or by the State between
now and next June which will over-
come the difficulties experienced in
maintaining the school, its doors will
be closed at the end of the college
year.
Announcement of the decision of
the governing boards of Bowdoin does
not come as a surprise. It has been
known that such action was to be ex-
pected. It means that the State will,
in all probability, be called upon to
provide for medical education within
its borders by a State institution. It
has already been pointed out that
in parts of rural Maine there is a
scarcity of physicians, and that it is
not to be expected that graduates of
the great medical schools outside the
State will remove to it to become
country doctors. Maine needs a
school that will adequately train the
general practitioner rather than the
specialist. It needs an institution
from which will go forth men who
are ready and willing to take the
places of the devoted doctors who
have occupied so large a place in the
life of rural communities in this
country. The question is one which
does not concern Maine alone. It en-
ters into the general problem of mak-
ing rural life attractive, a problem
which touches the well-being of the
people who dwell in all the states.
How the Pine Tree State undertakes
to solve its problem is, therefore, of
much more than local interest. — Edi-
torial in "Boston Transcript" of De-
cember 22.
COMMUNICATION
Editor, "Orient," Bowdoin College,
Brunswick, Maine.
Dear Sir: — There has often been
discussion, disjointed more or less to
be sure, concerning basketball as a
major sport at Bowdoin. But discus-
sion, concentrated and propelled into
action, means results. Hence this
communication.
With the impetus which this winter
sport has already gained in practically
every section of this country it ap-
pears to be quite appropriate and
pertinent to place the question, name-
ly, "Why not basketball at Bowdoin?"
in at least an argumentative position.
It occurs to the writer that on sev-
eral occasions some years ago this
question was advanced but met with
little or no support. This stand, how-
ever, is not at all discouraging at the
present time for we have several rea-
sons for pushing the introduction of
this sport at Bowdoin now.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
299'
Basketball, as a sport, certainly has
all the elements and possibilities of a
training which tends to develop and
retain speed. The playing of this
game necessitates clear and quick
thinking, accurate and sound judg-
ment. Endurance, gained only by
proper training, is one of the prime
requisites of a real basketball team.
It is comparatively an inexpensive
sport to manage. On the other hand
a long season with good seating facili-
ties and possibilities of other forms of
entertainment linked with the games
mean good income.
Basketball is rapidly drawing the
interest of amateurs and professionals
to the exclusion of many other winter
sports. The feeling is not limited to
any one section of the country. It ap-
pears to be a wave which is destined
to become permanent all over.
Basketball in New England among
amateurs, school and professional
circles needs no comment. It is firmly
established already.
Basketball in Maine is not so firm-
ly entrenched in collegiate athletics.
But with the advent of reform rules
and fast playing teams it must be
forced to the attention of all the col-
leges. Bates and Maine are introduc-
ing the sport with teams this fall.
Why should'nt we organize and train
a team?
With the facilities for training
which we enjoy and the men from
whom we have to pick, we are in a
position to place this addition to our
athletic program on a real satisfac-
tory basis. We need not make it a
major sport this year but it seems as
though it should be introduced if only
in class teams.
In closing, there perhaps should be
emphasized: the nature of the game
which certainly must develop an ath-
lete along the proper lines for other
sports; the popularity and develop-
ment of the sport in recent years in
all athletic circles; our unparalleled
facilities for handling this sport, to
say nothing of many other points
which could be raised in favor of
basketball at Bowdoin.
With these points in mind and ap-
parently no real objections except in-
difference let us answer the question
with action.
Very truly yours,
J. C. OLIVER '17.
It has already been decided that a
faculty committee shall give basket-
ball consideration this term. A com-
mittee of the faculty, consisting of
President Sills, Dr. Whittier, and
Dean Nixon, plans to give hearing on
a petition for permission to organize
a college basketball team. The com-
mittee intends to discuss the matter
with the students desiring the estab-
lishment of this sport.
Intercollegiate News
This week we are starting a new
department in the "Orient." At a
recent meeting of the board it was
voted that the paper apply for mem-
bership in the Eastern Intercollegiate
Newspaper Association. This as-
sociation provides for the election of
an Intercollegiate News Editor and
the maintenance of a separate depart-
ment. In this paper it shall be the
aim of this department to put before
the college items of interest found in
the columns of the various exchanges.
It is hoped that the department will
be one of real value and real service.
Just a word of explanation. The
Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper
Association is an association of the
publications of the leading colleges
and universities of the East. Its aim
is to establish better and more har-
monious news relations between its
members. It already numbers among
its members all the more widely
known college news sheets. We
should be very proud to see Bowdoin
in the van in such a movement.
On the editorial page of "The Mid-
dlebury Campus" for November 17,
is an article which should be of vital
interest. The article in question is
entitled "The Open Door" and deals
with the importance of getting out
and competing in the various college
activities. It points out that the dif-
ferent campus organizations are
planned solely for the benefit of the
students; their object is to furnish
an outlet for surplus energy and to
develop a wide range of talents that
might otherwise remain dormant. It
particularly stresses those activities
that receive but minor attention. Only
the few can star in athletics, but
there are unlimited possibilities in
the other fields of undergraduate
activity — musical, literary, religious
and numerous others.
At Middlebury they seem to be con-
fronted with much the same difficulty
that faces us here at Bowdoin. These
activities mentioned above are vital
to the life of the college and it is up
to the new men to take them up and
carry them on. The difficulty lies in
waking the new men up to a realiz-
ation of the possibilities that are at
hand. Why not find your niche and
fill it? You will help yourself and
make Bowdoin a better college.
In several of our exchange sheets
are departments devoted to Campus
Comment — departments which en-
courage general expression of opin-
ions concerning matters of interest
in the life of the college. It seems
that a similar department in our
paper would not only greatly increase
the value of the sheet, but would go
far toward building up a better Bow-
doin spirit by drawing out those in
our college who at present find no
expression. All that is necessary to
start such a department is material —
give us the dope and we will give
you the department.
In these columns it seems only fit-
ting to say just a word about the
subject of basketball. At the present
time there is a petition before the
student body asking that basketball
be allowed in Bowdoin. Let us note
how the sport stands in the other col-
leges of the country. In practically
every recent exchange upon our files
one finds a long article on basketball.
Nearly every college of any worth is
turning to that sport now that the
football season has closed. What is
the matter with Bowdoin?
Sometimes it almost seems that we
men here at Bowdoin are failing in
our great trust; it almost seems that
at times we forget that famous Bow-
doin spirit. If we all love this col-
lege the way we should, why do we
not show it? Other men from other
colleges simply burn things up with
enthusiasm for their alma mater.
Won't you do as much for Bowdoin?
Think Bowdoin, talk Bowdoin, live
for Bowdoin, twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week!

Meeting of Ibis
Professor Cram Reads Selections
From War Diary.
A meeting of the Ibis, with guests,
was held Monday evening, December
13, at the Chi Psi Lodge.
The program consisted of a read-
ing by Professor Cram of selections
from a diary which he kept of events
in the college and Brunswick during
the war. Professor Cram said that
when the United States entered the
war he tried to find in the Library
some account of how the daily life of
the college was affected by the
Spanish War, but beyond what was
given in the "Orient" for that time,
there appeared to be no more com-
plete record. This determined him to
keep a record of what might be com-
ing during the last war. The diary
runs from April 2, 1917, to April,
1919, and its completeness may be in-
ferred from the fact that at the meet-
ing this week, at which he read for
one hour, only the portion from April
2, 1917, to Nov. 9, 1917, was covered,
and that with many omissions.
The intrinsic value and interest of
the selections read, their precision of
style, their impersonal yet human
quality, and their frequent humor,
gave great pleasure to the Society.

What Is Vacuum?
IF THE traffic policeman did not hold up his hand and control
the automobiles and wagons and people there would be collisions,
confusion, and but little progress in any direction. His business
is to direct.
The physicist who tries to obtain a vacuum that is nearly perfect
has a problem somewhat like that of the traffic policeman. Air is
composed of molecules — billions and billions of them flying about
in all directions and often colliding. The physicist's pump is de-
signed to make the molecules travel in one direction — out through
the exhaust. The molecules are much too small to be seen even
with a microscope, but the pump jogs them along and at least starts
them in the right direction.
A perfect vacuum would be one in which there is not a single
free molecule.
For over forty years scientists have been trying to pump and jog
and herd more molecules out of vessels. There are still in the best
vacuum obtainable more molecules per cubic centimeter than there
are people in the world, in other words, about two billion. Whenever
a new jogging device is invented, it becomes possible to eject a few
million more molecules.
The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company
have spent years in trying to drive more and more molecules of air
from containers. The chief purpose has been to study the effects
obtained, as, for example, the boiling away of metals in a vacuum.
This investigation of high vacua had unexpected results. It be-
came possible to make better X-ray tubes — better because the
X-rays could be controlled ; to make the electron tubes now so
essential in long-range wireless communication more efficient and
trustworthy ; and to develop an entirely new type of incandescent
lamp, one which is filled with a gas and which gives more light than
any of the older lamps.
No one can foretell what will be the outcome of research in pure
science. New knowledge, new ideas inevitably are gained. And
sooner or later this new knowledge, these new ideas find a practical
application. For this reason the primary purpose of the Research
Laboratories of the General Electric Company is the broadening of
human knowledge.

Action On
Basketball Deferred
Last Saturday at a meeting of the
faculty committee on' basketball with
about twenty-five students, in the
library, it was not decided to recom-
mend any definite action as yet to
the faculty. Dr. Whittier felt that it
would be best to wait until Bowdoin
has a building which will contain both
a regular hall for basketball and also
a swimming pool. The opinion was
also voiced that basketball under
present conditions would interfere
materially with track. In view of
these objections it is expected that
basketball will not be included very
soon among the sports entered into by
Bowdoin.
Bowdoin's Track Program
This year's track schedule has re-
cently been announced by Manager
McGorrill, and an active year is in
store for the track and field athletes.
The B. A. A. meet in Boston on

son. Bowdoin will send ten men to
this meet where a triangular race is
to be run against Worcester P. I. and
Williams. On February 22 there will

Track Schedule
(Continued from page 309)
be another meet in Boston, the East
Armory meet. The annual Sopho-
more-Freshman meet will be held on
the evening of Friday, March 4. Two
weeks later on Friday evening, March
18, will be the Inter-Fraternity meet;
this will be the last indoor meet of
the season.
The annual indoor school-boy meet
will be held on Saturday afternoon,
March 5. This meet should be one of
the most successful meets of this kind
ever held at Bowdoin, for there has
been an awakening of interest among
the preparatory schools of New Eng-
land in track athletics within the last
few years. Several Massachusetts
schools are expected to enter teams.
For May 7 there is a dual track
meet with the University of Vermont
at Burlington. The New England
Inter-Collegiate meet will take place at
Boston on May 21, and the I.C.A.A.A.
A. meet on the week following. There
will also be the M.I.A.A. meet at Wa-
terville on the 14th of May. The
Bowdoin outdoor school-boy meet
comes on the same day as the big
collegiate meet, May 28.
Altogether Bowdoin can look for-
ward to a very successful track sea-
son, as the team is promising and
there are many goals to reach and
laurels to win.
The schedule is as follows:
Feb. 5 — B.A.A. meet at Boston.
Feb. 22 — East Armory meet at Bos'
ton.
March 4 — Sophomore - Freshman
meet.
March 5 — Bowdoin Indoor School-
boy meet.
March 18 — Inter-Fraternity meet.
May 7 — Dual Track meet with the
University of Vermont at Burlington.
May 14 — M.I.A.A. meet at Water-
ville.
May 22— N.E.I.C.A.A. meet at Bos-
ton.
May 28— I.C.A.A.A.A. meet at Bos-
ton.
May 28 — Bowdoin Outdoor School-
bov meet.

Alumni Meet in Rockland
(Continued from page 309)
meeting of the new association. The
banquet was held largely at the pro-
posal of F. A. St. Clair '21.
Dean Nixon talked of the increased
personal happiness derived from go-
ing to college — the social and in-
tellectual training, the increased op-
portunity and material advantages
which it furnishes; the altruistic ob-
ject of going to»college — the increased
national service for which one is
fitted; the expenses and requirements;
and some of Bowdoin's splendid tra-
ditions.
Ensign Otis '07 gave a humorous
comparison of college life thirteen
years ago and now, emphasizing seri-
ously, however, the fixed unchanging
quality of the Bowdoin spirit.
E. C. Moran '17, the newly elected
president, discussed the idea of snob-
bishness which has been wrongly as-
sociated with Bowdoin men, as well as
the desirability of a liberal arts
course, which provides a first-class
foundation for the pursuit of a techni-
cal course.
Standish Perry '22, speaking for
the undergraduates, discussed the firm
and lasting character of Bowdoin
spirit, citing numerous good examples
of its manifestation in the past.
The meeting, with all the songs and
cheers in addition to the speeches,
was one of high enthusiasm and
splendid success. More similar to it
are to be held regularly in the future.
Our idea of a tough situation is for
a fellow to get a kiss fairly well
launched, and then have a sneeze beat
him out. — M.I.T. Voo Doo.

American Exploration, 1921
The editorial, which is printed be-
low, from the "Brooklyn Standard
Union" for Sunday, December 19,
1920, has been sent to the "Orient"
by Mr. John W. Frost '04. Regard-
ing the authority of this editorial on
exploration, Mr. Frost writes, "I
presume it is from the pen of Mr.
Herbert L. Bridgman, who was, for
a number of years, Secretary of the
Peary- Arctic Club which suported Ad-
miral Peary's efforts, and of which
General Hubbard was President. Mr.
Bridgman has been a patron of ex-
ploration for a long time; he is busi-
ness manager of 'The Standard
Union.' "
Exploration, vanguard of progress,
halted, with all the other arts of
peace, by the war, begins to stir again
with life, and next year bids fair to
open with rather more than normal in-
terest and expectations. How many of
the ambitions and enterprises, now on
paper, will get no farther one may
not undertake to say, but no activity
depends more intimately and com-
pletely on what is called good times
than discovery and exploration, and
they quickly fall into the class of ex-
penses and luxuries which may be
easiest cut out or indefinitely post-
poned. The notion, however, current
a few years ago that because the Poles
had been attained and man had won
his age-long contest with nature there
v* r
312
BOWDOIN ORIENT
was no more to do, has already been
proved a mistake, and those who wept
because there were no more worlds to
conquer know that their tears were
premature. British adventurers are
coquetting by means of airplanes with
the summit of Himalayan Everest,
highest point of the earth's surface,
and never trodden by human foot.
Naturally enough, America is in the
front rank in next year's column of
exploration, and one of its expeditions,
that to North and Central China, is,
perhaps, in its plan and scope, more
important and farreaching than any
prospected by any other country. Pure
science, represented by the American
Museum, and finance and politics, or-
ganized in the Asiatic Association,
will undertake to develop a five-year
scheme of investigation which, by it-
self, would be of the first order either
in research or commerce, but when of-
ficial sanction and support of the Chi-
nese Government are added, becomes
one of highest international import-
ance. On the scientific side the ex-
pedition will work the little known
but probably fruitful field from which
scientists agree the human race of our
era were dispersed over the globe,
with more than an even chance that
one or several missing links may be
discovered, while the co-operation of
the Chinese Government means access
to all that they have and division of
results assures indefinite and thorough
prosecution of the work, after this
particular campaign is ended.
Science, toiling with meagre and
widely scattered remains of European
prehistoric man, but pebbles, as New-
ton said, along the ocean of knowl-
edge, will await eagerly the evidence
which a well organized and properly
handled expedition will contribute to
one of the most fascinating branches
of human knowledge, and one which
interests every human being who
cares whether he is descended from a
man or a monkey. Co-operation of
the Chinese Government means, like
its front seat in the Council of the
League of Nations, not so much in and
of itself, but that the spirit of pro-
gress and development is awakening
in this great but little known people,
that the day of the dead past is over
and that there is something beyond
the open door for those who come in
a spirit of fair play and of mutual re-
spect and obligation.
American medical education is on
the eve of extraordinary growth and
development in China, where it has
already abundantly made good, and
the conjunction of the hospitals and
schools which American endowment
will open next year with the expedi-
tion of science and commerce is
fraught with great promise to both
countries. Leadership of the Museum
expedition will be in most competent
hands, proved by two highly success-
ful seasons in other parts of the em-
pire. Dr. Roy Chapman Andrews, ac-
companied, as before, by Mrs. An-
drews, artist and naturalist, sister of
the lamented Borup, are a team which
is guarantee of all that courage, in-
dustry and enthusiasm can accom-
plish, and what valuation the backers
of the undertaking, which include
some of the best known men and wo-
men in science and finance, put upon
it may be gathered from the fact that
a capital of a quarter of a million
dollars is at its command.
Another American enterprise in ex-
ploration, less expensive and ambi-
tious, but full of interest and promise
and far along toward the active stage,
is Donald MacMillan's Baffin Land re-
connoissance, for which he is having
an eighty-ton, fifty-five-foot auxiliary
schooner built which will probably be
launched next month and after try-
outs in May ready to leave in July for
the scene of operations. Baffin Land,
the third largest island in the world,
as large as Ireland, has for centuries
been sort of an unknown land, neither
far enough north to attract the true
Pole hunters nor far enough south
to invite, by reasonably safe naviga-
tion, commercial and industrial ex-
ploitation. MacMillan, one of Peary's
most apt and loyal though rather un-
lucky pupils, carries on his enterprise
in the name and under the auspices of
Bowdoin College, their alma mater,
and it will be interesting to note in
the final accounting how much glory
and distinction Maine takes to itself
for the achievements of these two dis-
tinguished adventurous sons of Penn-
sylvania and Massachusetts. MacMil-
lan will inaugurate a new method
with his "Bowdoin" in that he will
keep the ship with him during the en-
tire four or five years of absence,
beaching or otherwise protecting dur-
ing the winters and using her for
cruising, dredging, sounding and other
work during the summers. A rapid
survey of the field in a Canadian fur
trading vessel last summer satisfied
MacMillan more thoroughly than
ever of the merits and inducements of
his project, and though Stefansson's
Hudson Bay caribou breeding enter-
prise may open up some of the south-
ern coast section of the island, there
is no doubt that the field is large
enough for both and the lines of ac-
tivity and investigation so unlike that
no competition for glory or money
will result.
Colleges and universities will send
as many annual fossil and mineral
gathering expeditions into the East-
ern states next summer vacation as
they can pay for. Each seems to find
it necessary to have its own particular
bone-yard and fossil museum, exclud-
ing trustees and faculties, and the
more adventurous will find oil, rubber
and mineral prospects farther afield
alluring. Some of the propaganda al-
ready afloat concerning oil in South
America, among the peaks and in the
forges of the Andes, separating
Colombia and Bolivia, leave little or
nothing to imagination and suggest
the Arctic explorer, who invited sub-
scriptions on the promise that moun-
tains should be named for the givers,
elevation and contributions adjusted
to a compensating scale. And since
England's "marchaunt adventurers"
of the Sixteenth century nothing more
glittering has been dangled before the
speculative explorer than the pre-
posterous Vanderlip's $3,000,000,000
Soviet Kamchatka concession.
Exploration of 1921 and the years
beyond will plainly differ from that
which has gone before in that it will
be sharply divided into two classes,
scientific and speculative. The old-
time human element of adventure, of
personal daring, patience and forti-
tude has completed its task and re-
tired in favor of organization, capital
and sustained effort. From this time
forward the study of the world will be
intensive, scientific and systematic.
Motor cars have taken you along the
Cape-to-Cairo route, for which tickets
may be bought on Broadway, in
twenty-four hours, through the Sem-'
liki forest, where Stanley toiled and
fought and starved for more than as

many weeks. African and South
American tropics, now practicable by
the internal combustion engine, will be
the salvation, in food and main-
tenance, of the race, in the near-com-
ing generations. And will it be worth
the price?

PROPOSED TENNIS
TOURNAMENT
Plans for an Eastern States inter-
collegiate championship tennis tourn-
ament have recently been laid before
the Bowdoin officials, and, in fact, be-
fore most of the colleges and universi-
ties of the East. The proposed tourna-
ment is to be held at Harvard on May
13, 14, and 15. The purpose of the
tournament is to determine the best
collegiate team in the eastern states,
instead of the best individual cham-
pion. The colleges invited to take part
in the tournament are: Amherst,
Brown, Bowdoin, Colgate, Columbia,
Massachusetts Institute of Technol-
ogy, University of Maine, University
of Pennsylvania, Wesleyan, Williams,
and Yale. Several colleges have al-
ready responded very enthusiastically.
Chicago Alumni Meeting
An enthusiastic meeting of the
alumni of Chicago was held at the
Union League Club on December 28th.
Warren R. Smith '90, President of the
Association, was in the chair. There
were no formal speeches, but Presi-
dent Sills represented the College and
gave an account of the year at Bruns-
wick. It was decided to hold meetings
at least twice a year from now on. Dr.
Smith was re-elected President, and
Joseph H. Newell '12 was elected Sec-
retary. Among those present were:
George W. Tillson '77, Richard W.

The Basketball Discussion.
The discussion concerning basket-
ball at Bowdoin came to a head at the
hearing on the question, conducted by
the Faculty Committee on Saturday
afternoon. There were few speakers
on either side, but the ultimate con-
clusion reached was apparently that
the introduction of basketball was not
advisable at the present time.
One argument advanced against the
establishment of the sport was that
it would seriously infringe on track
athletics, now the most successful and
popular of winter sports. Many men
who take track would undoubtedly be
drawn to basketball, were it in effect.
This would be only natural due to the
more attractive nature of the sport.
There is the additional fact worthy of
note that hockey, as a major sport at
Bowdoin, is now in its infancy,- and
that basketball would detract from
the interest in this as well as in track.
Such an effect might prove decidedly
unfortunate during this critical period.
The present size of the institution
does not permit the encouragement
of too many activities.
The College authorities are natural-
ly reluctant to favor any athletics for
which there is no suitable place. It
is feared that basketball would in-
terfere with the proper and legiti-
mate use of gymnasium equipment.
Present plans contemplate the con-
struction of an annex to the present
structure, which shall include a
basketball hall as well as a swimming-
pool.
While the force of Mr. Oliver's re-
marks in last week's issue of the
"Orient" can not be denied, it must be
admitted that basketball does require
certain conditions that Bowdoin does
not completely fulfill at present.
Perhaps certain of the arguments
against the introduction of the sport
seem to be over-emphasized and more
or less easily overcome. In any case,
it is to be hoped that as the result of
the discussion basketball will take its
rightful place at Bowdoin in the near
future.
COMMUNICATIONS
December 29, 1920.
Editor Bowdoin Orient,
Brunswick, Maine.
Dear Sir:
It is an indication that an alumnus
is getting into the class of the "older
alumni" when he begins to notice in
reading- his Orient that propositions
are suggested as if new which he re-
members have been recurrently before
the college public.
So with your recent editorial on the
knocking- of the steam pipes in ^hapel.
I am personally rather pleased that
this subject still bobs up once in a
while because it gives the editor a
good topic for his editorial. I have no
doubt that the editorial is for a time
effective, thus showing anew the pow-
er of the press on public opinion.
But the particular suggestion which
causes me to remove the cover from
my typewriter and write these few
words to you is your leading editorial
in the issue of December 8; the ques-
tion of the form of the Orient.
I venture to say that no recent col-
lege generation has gone by without a
discussion of this subject.
As far back as when I was on the
board the proposition came up prob-
ably for the first time and we voted,
after careful consideration, to retain
the old form. I cannot see that the
arguments for a radical change in
form have strengthened with time.
The chief reason against it is that a
weekly publication in a college the
size of Bowdoin should evidence more
of a literary standard than shown by
a mere newspaper. The Orient has
never been simply that. It nas always
had a dignity of character which its
form has helped to maintain. The
change made in the present volume,
it seems to me, is as far as innovation
should proceed. I should be much sur-
prised if the magazine form has gone
out of use with similar publications in
other colleges the size of Bowdoin.
Personally I should also regret the
change because it would throw out of
gear my file of Orients in whose com-
pleteness and symmetry I take pride.
Many other alumni have the same
personal reason for opposing the al-
tered size of page.
I believe that the opposition to the
change among the alumni readers of
the Orient would be almost unani-
mous.
Very truly yours,
C. F. Robinson (1903).
Mr. Donald C. White '05, one of the
Alumni members of the Athletic
Council, has sent the following ex-
tract regarding the football coach
problem to the "Orient" from a letter
written by his nephew, Herbert Frye
White, who is a pupil at Hill School,
and who is also the son of Congress-
man Wallace H. White, Jr., '99.
"Say, what's this thing I see in the

December 13, 1920.
Mr. Norman Haines,
Editor-in-Chief,
Bowdoin "Orient."
My dear Mr. Haines:— In behalf of
the Executive Committee of the
Brunswick Chapter of the Red Cross
let me heartily thank the Bowdoin
under-graduates for the large num-
ber they have added to the member-
ship of the local chapter. May I also
heartily congratulate them on having
secured the lead of all the men's col-
leges in total per cent, of students
enrolled in the Red Cross. Ninety
per cent, is very high indeed.
Yours very truly,
CHARLES T. BURNETT,
Chairman.
November 29, 1920.
To the Students of Bowdoin College:
Mr. ' William M. Harris, who has
"been in charge of the College Roll
Call, has brought to my attention that
over eight thousand students in the
New England colleges have become
members in the American Red Cross
for 1921. This is a splendid showing
and a very generous response. As
Manager of the New England Di-
vision, I desire to express my appre-
ciation to the students of your col-
lege.
We are counting on your member-
ship, not only for the coming year but
in the years to come, knowing that as
members you will always be potential
factors for service 'wherever the Red
Cross is needed.
Cordially yours,
ARTHUR G. ROTCH,
Division Manager, New England
Red Cross.

Intercollegiate News
Bowdoin needs an Outing Club. For
a good many years we have struggled
along without anything of the sort
and it is high time that we started.
P'or some time there has been an un-
der-current of feeling for such a club,
but it has lacked the necessary push.
There are unlimited possibilities for
good healthy out-door sport at and
near Bowdoin. Let's get out of the
rut!
For just a moment let us turn to
what other colleges are doing in this
regard. It is of course unnecessary
to mention what Dartmouth has done
with her Outing Club. Everyone
knows the great success that it has
enjoyed and further knows the atten-
tion that it attracts. If we want to
put Bowdoin to the front what better
way to do it than this? An Outing
Club would surely attract the atten-
tion of the red-blooded, clean-minded
type of young man that we want.
Dartmouth, however, is not the only
college that is showing its heels to
Bowdoin in this respect. Maine has
stolen a march right under our nose
and his already formed such a club.
Some of the pessimists will at this
point start objecting — no hills, not
enough snow, and others equally
pointless. In reply and to promote
friendly feeling with the conscientious
objectors we will grant their objec-
tions. But can anyone hold that "Out-
ing" means nothing but skiing and
snow-shoeing? Bowdoin needs an
Outing Club. Let's give her one and
after we have formed it then let's de-
cide how we shall "out."
In a recent issue of the "Dart-
mouth" there apeared an editorial ex-
pressing the appreciation of the col-
lege for all that the Alumni are doing
for Dartmouth. The article was writ-
ten at the time when the Green team
was on its western trip and empha-
sized the fine and loyal spirit of the
grads all over the country.
Our football team does not take
such a trip as that, but Bowdoin men
scatter far and wide and we certainly
owe a lot to our Alumni. In many
ways they are striving to make Bow-
doin a bigger and a better college, not
in mere numbers, but in the more se-
rious aspects of life, those that really
count. For example, turn to the re-
cently installed system known as the
Alumni Placement Committee. Under
this plan each man graduating from
Bowdoin College is assigned to one
alumnus who is in a position to help
that man to a place in his chosen field.
It is easily seen what a sacrifice it
must be for a busy man to assume the
added work that this involves. Yet
our Alumni are doing it and doing it
gladly. Again let us look back to our
recent vacation. Here at Brunswick
we have been doing all in our power
to increase the Old Bowdoin Spirit,
but it remained for our Alumni to
start that spirit where it would touch
the prep school men. That they did
this we all know — Bowdoin gatherings
were conducted this last recess with a
new fire. And our Alumni were large-
ly responsible for this spirit for they
knew that we needed them. In these
and many other ways the Alumni of
Bowdoin College serve her and serve
her well. If those men can find time
to devote to us, surely we can do as
much for them. Let's all get together
and thank our Alumni with results.
In the "Daily Princetonian" there has
lately been considerable controversy
over the forming of a Society for the
study and criticism of Socialism. Af-
ter a great deal of argument such a
society has been formed and is meet-
ing with some success. It aims not to
uphold Socialism but to study it and to
understand it. As it is only with the
full understanding that we are able
to commend or condemn, it would
seem that such a society is an excel-
lent thing both for the Socialists and
the opponents of Socialism.
We drop this out as a suggestion
and if it strikes fertile soil the Orient
stands ready to include in its columns
any communications concerning the
subject. F. A. S.

BOWDOIN ORIENT
DARTMOUTH DEBATE
(Continued from page 309)
Pray English Prize for 1919-1920, and
is representing Bowdoin for the first
time in this debate. His home is in
Biddeford.
Albert R. Thayer '22, the second
speaker, was ' a member of. the Bow-
doin Unit of the S.A.T.C. He won a
place on both his Freshman and his
Sophomore class debating teams, and
last year led the home team in the
victorious debate with Rhode Island
State College. He is vice-president
of the Debating Council, student as-
sistant in Economics, and a winner of
Bradbury Debating Prizes. He is a
member of the Zeta Psi fraternity, is
intending to become a lawyer, and
has his home in Collinsville, Conn.
Joseph L. Badger '21, the third
speaker, had extended overseas ser-
vice, largely on the Mediterranean,
in the Navy. Before leaving Bowdoin
among the earliest to do so in his
Freshman year he had debated on his
class team and had been alternate on
the Bowdoin team against Hamilton
College. Last year he led to victory
the Bowdoin team which met Rhode
Island State at the latter institution.
He played on the Second Football
Team and is a prominent member of
the Fencing Squad. He is manager of
debating. He belongs to the Psi
Upsilon fraternity, is preparing to go
into business, and comes to college
from Pittsfield.
Since 1916, when Bowdoin lost one
of its debates to Hamilton College at
Clinton, New York, Bowdoin teams
have been consistently victorious. The
opportunity to engage in debating
with Dartmouth College, notwith-
standing the disparity of the two in-
stitutions in size, is welcomed by all
friends of Bowdoin. W. H. D.
The question of the debate is "Re-
solved, that European immigration
should be further restricted." The
Bowdoin team has been working hard

during the last month under the
coaching of Professor Davis.
The Dartmouth team is composed
of H. N. Caldwell '22, G. H. Mason '23,
and A. W. Sprague '24.
The judges for the debate will be
Professor W. R. Hart of Massachu-
setts Agricultural College, Professor
J. R. Carroll of Bates, and Principal
W. B. Jack of Portland High School.
President Sills will preside during the
debate.
FENCING.
Candidates for the fencing team
are practicing regularly this month
in preparation for the matches to be
played in February. The opening
match is to be played with Harvard
at Boston on Saturday, February 5,
the day of the B. A. A. relay meet.
Arrangements are being made by
Manager Osterman for a match with
Columbia. From last year's team
there remain only Captain Ogden '21
and Osterman '21. The team this year
is handicapped considerably by the
loss of Scholsberg '20, last winter's
captain and manager.

At a Sophomore class meeting last
Thursday in Memorial Hall, the fol-
lowing committee was elected to
manage the Sophomore Hop: Palmer
(chairman), Black, Hill, Jacob, and
Whitman. Miller was elected vice-
president of the class.
It is greatly regretted by the stu-
dents, and particularly by those in his
class, that Donald W. MacKinnon '24
is unable to return to college this
year on account of illness. He had
been doing brilliant work scholastical-
ly and in college activities. He is
hoping to come back next fall.
Major examinations in English and
Chemistry took place Monday of this
week — the first of these important
tests to be given.
Last week a new arrangement was
made of the magazines in the periodi-
cal room in the Library. Instead of
being in the cumbersome case where it
was not easy to find a desired issue,
all magazines are placed on shelves in
alphabetical order, so that there is no
difficulty in finding any copy of a
magazine from the current number to
an issue dating back several months.
The engagement of Miss Isabel E.
Stultz of Portland to John Garnet
Young '21, was announced last week.
Because of the unusually mild
weather the hockey game which was
scheduled for January 6 with King's
College of Windsor, Nova Scotia, had
to be called off.
The History Club meets tonight at
the Delta Kappa Epsilon house.
Hatch '21 is to read a paper on
Mirabeau.
Members of the Junior class should
arrange immediately with Tileston at
the Beta Theta Pi house to have their
pictures taken for the "Bugle." If
these pictures are not taken before
February 1, it will be impossible to
use them in the 1922 "Bugle."
There is a growing movement
among the students for the organiza-
tion of a "B" Club, which shall con-
sist of the varsity letter men. Any
man winning a letter in football, base-
ball, track, tennis, or hockey, would
be eligible for membership. The pro-
posal will go before the Student Coun-
cil in a very short time.

1915 — Robert P. Coffin, who is now
in his third year of residence as a
Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, has poems
in recent numbers of "McClure's" and

1915 — Word has just been received
of the apointment of Alvah B. Stetson
as the first Adjutant General of the
Department of the State of New York,
Veterans of Foreign Wars of the
United States, the "gold chevron" or-
ganization. The State Department
was officially organized last week at
the convention in the Hotel Pennsyl-
vania, Manhattan, which was attended
by over five hundred delegates. Mr.
Stetson is a charter member of Ar-
gonne Post, No. 107, Brooklyn, N. Y.,
of which he has acted as Adjutant
since June, 1919. That he has been ac-
tive in the work of the organization is
attested to by the fact that he was se-
lected by Department Commander,
Captain James Rorke, to fill this im-
portant position. Adjutant General
Stetson served with the U. S. Naval
Reserve as Chief Quartermaster,
aboard the U. S. S. Ranger on Convoy

ing resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted:
"Resolved, That it would be a great
detriment to the people of Maine to
have its Medical School discontinued
and to be obliged to depend upon
other states for the education of its
young people who desire to become
physicians.
"Resolved, That we pledge the best
efforts of the Bowdoin Alumni of Ban-
gor to aid in securing sufficient funds
to enable the school to be continued
as a class "A" school.
"Resolved, That to meet the present
emergency we appeal to the legisla-
ture of Maine to grant an appropria-
tion sufficient to carry on the school
until some permanent arrangement
can be made to ensure its successful
continuance."
President Sills sent greetings to the
association, and expressed regret that
he could not be present at the meet-
ing. He gave high commendation to
Bangor boys at Bowdoin, and hoped
that their number would be increased.
The principal speaker of the eve-
ning was Professor Van Cleve. He
spoke of Bowdoin's high ideals of
scholarship, the entrance require-
ments, the war record, the way in
which he became acquainted with
Bowdoin by reading the life of Long-
fellow. Professor Van Cleve alluded
to the late Professor Johnson, author
of the already famous translation of
Dante's "Divina Comedia," as typify-
ing Bowdoin's scholarly ideal.
Paul H. Eames '21, vice-president
of the Student Council, spoke for the
undergraduates. He discussed the re-
quirements, the college life, and meth-
ods of obtaining financial aid while
in college.
The meeting was enlivened not a
little with songs and enthusiastic
cheers. It is hoped to repeat the suc-
cess of this assembly at another ban-
quet and meeting later on in the
winter.

RESOLUTION
Hall of Theta of Delta Kappa Epsilon:
We have learned with deepest sor-
row of the death of our Brother, Paris
Gibson.
Born at Brownfield, Maine, July 1,
1830, he developed an extraordinary
personality. Three years after his
graduation he was in the Maine Legis-
lature. Shortly afterwards he went
to Minneapolis. In 1882 he founded
the City of Great Falls, Montana, and
became its first mayor. He was one
of the members of the convention, in
1889, which framed the Constitution
of Montana, and also served in the
Montana Senate. In 1901 he was
elected to the National Senate. That
same year Bowdoin conferred upon
him the degree of LL.D.
In the death of Brother Gibson
Theta has lost a loyal member whose
excellent life is a true example of his
high ideals, and his superiority of
wisdom.
Wherefore, be it
Resolved, That Theta extends its
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
relatives and friends of the deceased.

Neither Bowdoin or Tufts was able
to push through a tally when the two
teams clashed on the Portland Coun-
try Club rink last Friday afternoon.
More miserable conditions for a
hockey game could not be imagined
than those which attended this game.
The rain was driving down in a steady
stream and the surface of the rink

DATE OF NEXT ORIENT
Owing to financial reasons, it has
been found impossible to have an is-
sue of the "Orient" next week, Janu-
ary 26. Furthermore, in past years
it has always been customary to omit
the issue during the examination
periods, so that consequently, the next
number of the "Orient" is scheduled
to appear Wednesday, February 9.

DARTMOUTH WINS
CLOSE DEBATE
. For the first time in the history of
the two colleges, Dartmouth and Bow-
doin met in debate last Friday eve-
ning in Memorial Hall. After an hour
and a half of skilful manoeuvering
on both sides Dartmouth emerged the
winner by convincing two of the three
judges that the need for restricting
immigration was insufficient.
The Dartmouth team supported the
negative of the question, "Resolved,
That European Immigration should be
further restricted." The visitors'
team was composed of Arthur W.
Sprague, 1924, of La Grange, 111.;
George H. Mason, 1923, of Worcester,
Mass.; Hartley M. Caldwell, 1922, of
Pomona, Calif.; and Haskell H.

OSTERGREN TO COACH
HERE NEXT FALL
It has been definitely decided that
Fred V. Ostergren, present coach of
football at Portland High School, has
signed the contract to coach football
here at Bowdoin next fall, so that the
discussion which has been rife around
the campus since the middle of De-
cember has been finally settled.
The Bowdoin Bear Skin
"The Bowdoin Bear Skin" is the
new college magazine that will make
its debut just before the Sophomore
Hop. "The Bear Skin" will be a
comic magazine and such a
jocular one that the old "ends"
themselves will rock in merriment,
to say nothing of the students,
the faculty, and the loyal alumni — it
will be extremely droll and diverting
to them also. "The Bear Skin" will
be similar to the "Harvard Lampoon,"
the "Tech Voodoo," the "Pennsyl-
vania Punch Bowl," the "Dartmouth
Jack O'Lantem," and such college
publications, but, of course it will be

LECTURE BY
PROFESSOR POMEROY
Last Wednesday night, January 13,
the Biology Club held an open meet-
ing to which all the members of the
college were invited. Professor
Pomeroy of Bates College gave a
very interesting account of his ex-
periences in the Bermudas during the
summer of 1913. He illustrated the
lecture by stereopticon slides and
specimens which he had collected.
Bermuda is a group of islands be-
longing to Great Britain, 575 miles

REGISTRATION FOR
NEXT SEMESTER
On penalty of the usual fees all men
are to register for the second semester
by January 29. Signatures of instruc-
tors are unnecessary. No students
need personally obtain the Dean's sig-
nature at the time of registration,
but men who are in doubt as to num-
ber of courses and required courses
necessaiy for graduation, or who are
doubtful as to their eligibility for
some new course, should certainly see
the Dean before making definite de-

BOWDOIN ORIENT
NEW COURSE IN PHYSICS.
Next semester Mr. Little plans to
give a new course in the department
of Physics. The subject is to be elec-
tric oscillation and wireless teleg-
raphy. This course, Physics 10, is to
be given three times a week at hours
to be arranged for.
HISTORY COURSES FOR
NEXT SEMESTER
The statement in last week's
"Orient" to the effect that courses in
History may be taken in the second
semester without the work of the first
semester was erroneous. The correct
rulings are as follows: Seniors are
permitted to take History 8 without
History 7, and History 10 without
History 9. Juniors may do this only
with the permission of the instructor.
A student must have had History 3
and 4, or History 5, in order to be
eligible for History 6. The require-
ments for eligibility to History 12 are
as stated in the catalogue.

off Cape Hatteras. It was formerly
called the Devil's Isles on account of
the many wrecks which occurred on
the shoals surrounding the islands.
It is now used as a naval base, and
has a fine, well protected harbor.
There is but one means of approach
to vesels of any considerable size.
The main island is about twenty
miles long and half a mile wide on
the average. Formerly it was
thought to be a coral reef on account
of the abundance of limestone but
now it is known that an enormous
volcano formerly existed here. The
crater became filled gradually and the
land sank almost to sea-level. This
afforded a fine opportunity for the
growth of shell-fish. Finally the land
rose again, and the sand which had
been formed by the action of the
water on the shells, was piled up into
hills by the wind.
Beautiful white limestone roads
traverse the island everywhere and
would be a paradise for the motorist
if he were allowed to come here. But
the roads are not wide enough for
automobiles, and the natives content

and bicycles. Goats are very abund-
ant on the islands, and are seen in
every imaginable place. Among the
interesting animals which are known
to inhabit the islands are the buffo-
gua, the largest toad in the world
with a virulent poison of sufficient
strength to kill a dog, and many frogs,
bats, rats, turtles, and lizards.
Birds are very numerous and of
many varieties. Professor Gross is
thought to be the greatest expert on
the ornithology of Bermuda in the
country. Fish are very numerous
and many brightly and strikingly
colored species are found in the
waters. Many molluscs with bright-
ly marked shells are also seen here.
The conch shell is used by the native
fisherman and often by others for a
fog-horn. The note is very pene-
trating and exceedingly loud. The
octopus is also a resident of the
islands. Corals, and animal life of
all kinds, as well as many kinds of
plants are found here, the varieties
and forms of which are too numerous
to mention.

The "Bear Skin"

vastly more amusing. This magazine
will be the same size as the "Orient"
so that they can be bound in one
volume. There will be about forty
pages in all, of which at least thirty
will be filled with jokes, dissertations,
solemn (or otherwise) upon life et
cetera, clever and funny illustrations.
The cover will be in color
and will most probably be
changed with each issue. At the
present it is planned to print three
issues a year, a Christmas number, a
Sophomore Hop number, and an Ivy
number — thus, only two issues will
appear this year. And it will — well,
just wait until you see that Sopho-
more Hop number!
The ingenious and fertile imagina-
tions of Ryonosuke Toyokawa and
Bruce White are responsible for this
new venture. They conceived
the plan and then offered a
prize for a title. "The Bowdoin
Brew," the "Bowdoin Bachelor," and
the "Bowdoin Bear Skin," all sounded
equally good to them, but they finally
decided upon the "Bowdoin Bear
Skin." They submitted their plan to
the Student Council, which was high-
ly in favor of this new magazine.
So, on Wednesday night, Janu-
ary 12, a meeting of all students in-
terested in it, was held at the Delta
Kappa Epsilon house. The meeting
was well attended and it was decided
to make the thing a go.
The students are asked to contribute
original jokes or jesting articles to
the "Bear Skin." Any man with a
knack for drawing should submit not
only one or two drawings to the edi-
torial board, but at least a score or so.
The Sophomore Hop is not far off and
the first issue will soon come out, so
everybody fall to and think — and
think up some jokes that will make
A. temporary board of editors has
been appointed by the Student Coun-
cil, consisting of Bruce White, editor-
in-chief; O. G. Hall, Lloyd Hatch, and
Victor Whitman, associate editors;
E. W. Hunt, exchange editor; and Ryo
Toyakawa, business manager. The
position of art editor has been left
open until Friday, January 21, when
someone will be selected on the basis
of the best set of drawings handed
in before that time. It should be un-
derstood that immediately after the
Sophomore Hop a full board of editors
will be chosen for the rest of the year.
All contributions will be credited to
the writers, although no names will
be published. Selection of the Board
will be made according to the quality
and quantity of the material printed.
The copy should be typewritten if
possible, accompanied by the name of
contributor, and handed to White, at
the Deke House, or to any member
of the editorial board. No discrimi-
nation is to be made as to those who
may contribute. The undergraduates
will undoubtedly do their part, and
the alumni are strongly urged to lend
their assistance in the form of any-
thing humorous and original.
The alumni will be able to assist
also by subscribing liberally to the
new paper. Fifty cents is to be the
price of one issue, an illustrated book
of from forty to fifty pages, while
both Spring and Ivy numbers will be
sent for ninety cents. All checks
should be sent to The Bowdoin "Bear
Skin," care of Ryo Toyokawa, Delta
Upsilon House.
Rickard and Pray Prizes
The Forbes Rickard Verse Compe-
tition is open to all undergraduates.
The prize of ten dollars, for the best
single poem, will be awarded by a
committee of the faculty. The com-
mittee will consider all poems sub-
mitted to it in typewritten form, and
also all poems published in "The
Quill," up to May 31. Competitors
may send manuscripts to Professor
Mitchell; each may submit as many
328
BOWDOIN ORIENT
poems as he wishes.
The Pray English Prize of forty-
five dollars will be awarded for the
best essay on the subject of "Humor
in the Poetry of Robert Burns." This
year the competition is open to all
undergraduates. Competitors must
give their names to Professor Elliott
before February 7, and obtain from
him a sheet of directions and sug-
gestions.
English 9, the new course in Ameri-
can Literature, to be given by Pro-
fessor Mitchell in the first semester
of 1921-1922, will count toward a
Major in English. It was omitted by
inadvertence from the list on page
67 of the present catalogue.

take it over and continue it.
Dr. William T. Foster, a former
member of the faculty, also addressed
the assembled alumni. He declared
that there is no field in which a col-
lege can make greater progress than
in economics. In discussing the
economic situation he stated that the
present age surpassed all others in
production. He attributed the pres-
ent economic discontent to the ex-
cessive wealth of the past few years.
Some of the other speakers were
Professor Moody '82, Henry Hill
Pierce '96 of New York, and John G.
Young '21, president of the Student
Council. Professor Moody asked the
alumni to take an active interest in
college affairs. He said that the
world must look to the educational
system for the preservation of civil-
ization.
Following the banquet an election
was held in which the following
officers were chosen: President, Al-
fred B. White '98; vice-president,
John Clair Minot '96; secretary,
Stephen H. Pinkham '05; assistant
secretary, John H. Joy '12; treasurer,
Charles L. Favinger . '06; executive
committee, George P. Hyde '08, Albert
T. Gould '08, John L. Crosby '10, Clif-
ford T. Perkins '15, and John Rol-
lins '15.
The Prof, didn't want to flunk him
cold, so he decided to put off marking
him until he had taken the course over
again.
Dartmouth Debate
(Continued from page 325)
affirmative, consisted of George B.
Welch, 1922, of Biddeford, Maine; Al-
bert R. Thayer, 1922, of Collinsville,
Conn.; Joseph L. Badger, 1921, of
Pittsfield, Maine; and Theodore W.
Cousens, 1923, of Kennebunk, Me., al-
ternate. The judges were Professor
W. R. Hart, Massachusetts Agricul-
tural College; Professor J. I. Carroll,
Bates College; and W. B. Jack Prin-
cipal of Portland High School.
That the United States is justified
in considering herself first of all; that
proper concern for social and political
integrity demand further restriction;
and that economic integrity demands
further restriction of European im-
migration were the arguments ad-
vanced by the affirmative. The nega-
tive maintained that the scare caused
by present immigration is exagger-
ated; that we can Americanize and
assimilate all foreigners who come to
America; and that we can make good
use of all European immigrants.
The negative accepted the first ar-
gument put forth by Bowdoin as a
basis upon which the debate could
proceed. Dartmouth maintained that
there is a large shortage of unskilled
labor in the United States, which can
be solved only by opening America's
doors to immigration. Moreover the
negative claimed that the way to solve
the immigration problem is by inter-
nal methods and distribution, and not
by restriction. Against these argu-
ments the affirmative pointed out a
falling off of labor and the increas-
ing army of unemployed. Bowdoin
showed that the present labor short-
age is not in industries which may be
greatly influenced by immigration.
The affirmative showed further that
the system of distribution is theoreti-
cally and practically a failure, as
shown by an attempt to put such a
system into operation in 1907.
One amusing feature of the debate
was a long controversy over statis-
tics of immigration and emigration,
which Thayer rather conclusively
settled in the rebuttal.
The members of the Bowdoin team,
though defeated, are highly to be
commended for their good form and
excellent spirit during the debate, and
also for the many hours of hard work
in preparation for this contest.
Yes— They Are All
Rich Men's Colleges
Some Notes on the Financial Standing
of the Students of One of Our
"Old, Prosperous, Aristocratic"
Institutions.
The following- article by Dean Nixon
appeared in the "Boston Transcript"
of January 14, and it will unquestion-
ably be of great interest both to un-
ci erg-raduates and Alumni.
Yes, it looks the part, thank heavens — an
old prospei-ous. aristocratic institution. The
charming- Greek affair, for instance, over
there to the west, which Messrs. McKim,
Mead and White are rather proud of. con-
tains one of the four or five best . art col-
lections in New England. That big- Gothic
library to the south cost somebody, not Mr.
Carnegie, close to half a million dollars. And
that huge pile to the east, where you can
simultaneously put two or three hundred stu-
dents through gymnastic stunts, run off a
track meet, and hold a baseball game, took
a fairly ponderable sum out of certain
alumni pockets. And southeast of it you
see that trim, cheerful building among the
evergreens ? "Well, with its pleasant sun
porches and operating tables and white-
f rocked nurses and contagious wards, it goes
far toward making one in love with death,
or life. But someone must have spent at
least a hundred thousand dollars to erect
it, and another hundred thousand to ensure
every undergraduate the privilege, of being
cured (or killed) in it perfectly free of
charge. And that chapel with its twin .gray
spires gleaming high above the elms and
ivy, those fine gateways here and there ; the
massive grandstand at the end of those
paths through the pines which lead to the
athletic field — these, and a dozen other struc-
tures palpably suggest generations of gradu-
ates with plenty of money, as well as love
and idealism and practicality. And as for
undergraduates — those debonair young fellows,
in front of the comfortable fraternity houses
across the mall there, appear to be quite as
well ac iuainted with the amenities and
luxuries of life as undergraduates anywhere
ought to be. One day they'll take their place
in the ranks of loyal, well-to-do alumni, and
send their sons to their own old, prosperous,
aristocratic Alma Mater.
Yet, if you have some slight fear that oc-
ular evidence may be misleading, ask the
treasurer. He knows everything. He*s an
Amherst man. His office is in that very
red brick building with "1802" over the door-
way, and the bronze bas-relief of an aged,
furrowed gentleman on the western wall.
(Historically, the date marks the erection
of the building, and the bas-relief is a por-
trait of Elijah Kellogg, who. together with
Longfellow and Hawthorne — longo intervallo
— gives the college a rather uncommon literary
heritage. But traditionally — and campus tra-
dition is twice as penetrating and pervasive
as your safest historical fact — traditionally,
the bas-relief pictures Sam F — , the present
treasurer, in his youth, somewhat worried
over his last failure, at the date above the
door, to collect triple damages for deface-
ment of some dormitory wall paper.) Un-
less the treasurer is truculent, as often, or
pessimistic, as usual, he will feel forced to
tell you, lugubriously, that the college is
really in very sound condition, has some-
thing like three million dollars of produc-
BOWDOIN ORIENT
329
tive funds, an equipment second to that of no
small college he knows of, a fairly impressive
list of wealthy alumni, some four hundred
undergraduates whose ability to pay their
bills is exceeded only by their lethargy in do-
ing so, and a faculty so exasperatingly un-
businesslike as to be quite unworthy of their
comfortable monthly checks. Yes, it's a
splendid college — for the boys of our good,
old, substantial New England families.
Ask the Dean — He Knows
However, if you still have some fantastic
apprehension that this may not be exclusively
a rich man's college, you might interview
the dean, too. His office is right here across
the hall. He will be glad to see you. Any
dean is at any time glad to see, just for
variety's sake, anyone who has not yet
. established a criminal record. Unlike the
treasurer, the dean is genial, handsome,
clever, witty, a really rare composite of man,
gentleman and scholar. Being the dean my-
self, I ought to know.
But the dean will not show any inclina-
tion to dispute either obvious evidence, or
the treasurer's report upon the material
felicity of the institution. He may mention
most casually, in addition to Longfellow,
Hawthorne and Kellogg, a dozen other fam-
ous graduates of the college, from President
Franklin Pierce to Tom Reed to Admiral
Peary. He may intimate that the lineal
inheritance and personal quality of more re-
cent graduates and of present undergraduates
are such as not to allow the college merely
to bask in umbra magnorum nominum. He
may even conduct you into the future and
show you lists of prospective students, sons,
grandsons and great-grandsons of prosperous
and distinguished alumni
So. appearances, the treasurer and the
dean, all agree. What more can the mind
of a -mortal desire? Here, certainly, is a
college which frankly, proudly, purposes to
take only boys of our oldest and best na-
tive stock, to train them and to nourish in
them that esprit de corps, that spirit of
noblesse oblige, which at their finest can be
developed only in a group of young fellows
with pretty much the same backgrounds and
traditions. Moneyless men, young limbs of
no special family tree, should be educated,
of course ; but they can go elsewhere.
Just about now, when you are on the point
of hinting to the dean your pleasure that
patrician ideals are still being upheld in at
least one American institution — or your pain
that he and the whole college are such en-
tirely unmitigated snobs — he is apt to pull
you to a window and point out to you some
of the campus celebrities.
"See that slender, good-looking lad with
the near-Greek profile? He's an honor man.
a Latin prize winner, varsity end, captain
elect of the track team, 'Popular Man' of
his class, and a variety of other things
'Money?' Why, yes. enough. Works every
vacation in mills or with construction gangs,
steward at his fraternity house, dormitory
proctor, gets good scholarships. Oh, yes, he
has money enough, or nearly enough. He's
got through to his senior year at his own
cost except for a hundred and fifty dollar
loan.
"Speaking of men without money, see that
short, stocky fellow over there? He came
here from Texas with that fighting face and
fifty dollars, or thereabouts, and that's the
only money he has got from home in three
years. Office work, foreman's work on the
athletic field, any work at all. 'Socially handi-
capped?' Not particularly. He's president of
the Student Council, varsity track man, varsity
debater, and generally recognized as the most
influential undergraduate on the campus. And
that big-jawed, powerful chap sauntering
along with the tall, lackadaisical, thin one —
he's the varsity football captain ; and the
thin one is the best pole-vaulter in the State.
Last year they didn't look like such fortunate
youths. But this summer they rented some
land, on borrowed money, planted it with bor-
rowed potatoes, cultivated it with borrowed
machinery, and cleared about a thousand dol-
lars apiece.
"That thousand would look good to Bill —
there, that lad with the nautical gait and
somnolent air. All his seafaring was done
in Kansas ; but the somnolence was honestly
acquired in the telephone office down town
where he works when he must and sleeps when
he can from 9 p. m. to 6 a. m. Yet that
Kansas mariner's stride got him second place
on the varsity cross country team. Bill
makes a good satyr to that Hyperion be-
hind him. You wouldn't think, from his
ruddy complexion and six feet of muscle, that
a board of federal physicians almost withdrew
him from college by reason of an overdose
of chlorine overseas. If they could observe
him stoking furnaces, or serving soup at
his fraternity house, or catching on the
varsity, they might applaud his respect for
the legend on the Roman tombstone: "The
number of his doctors killed him." What's
that ? Sorry he has to fight his way through
college, as well as through the war? Sorry
for him? Why, he's one of the men here
that all the other freshmen envy. Ask him
if he needs commiseration. And that matured
lad over there with the sober, detached look —
he doesn't want any sympathy either, for
having to earn nearly all the money he gets.
When he thinks of the fourteen times he took
his men over the top, and of the fact that
only eleven out of his company were able
to stand on their own two legs and yell that
first Armistice Day, he's precious glad to be
here on any terms. His chief grievance is
that he can't make the football team, owing
to that slight limp.
More and More of Them
"Thought it was a rich man's college "
Well, those poor men you've just seen don't
seem to realize that they're down-trodden mis-
fits, do they? "Because they're athletes?"
We'll change the type, then. That slight,
wiry lad over there, for instance — he's a
junior Phi Beta Kappa and simply can't
escape being awarded a Summa Cum next
June. Varsity debater and prize winner, too!
Quite incidentally he did win his letter in track
last year. Every cent he has ever had here
he has earned — waiter, jaintor, steward, fire-
man, canteen clerk, proctor, student assistant
in the history department — catch-as-catch-can.
Or that tall, pre-Raphaelitish lad — when he's
not engaged as a library attendant, or waiter,
or railway mail or hotel clerk, or camp
counsellor, he edits the college literary maga-
zine, or bags prizes, or preens himself for his
Phi Beta Kappa key and Magna Cum Laude.
"No. not all our poor men are athletes.
Nor are they all brilliant students, either.
That big, strapping chap with the rugged
face, for example. He's getting 'straight A's'
in his economics courses, as it happens ; but
res angustissimae domi — which he probably
can't translate unless he has improved since
leaving my Latin class (they often do) — pre-
sented him from getting a really good start
in his education. Yet if he perseveres in that
eagerness of his to work his head and hands
and heels off, whether it's in grinding up
statistics or washing windows, or peddling
'hot dogs,' that lad will never regret leaving
his father's scraggly farm or deciding to
come here and not to a 'poor man's college.'
There's nothing noisily bucolic about him now-
adays. A few weeks ago he made a visit to
New York — his first — with one of his class-
mates from that city, and introducing himself
to some potentate of the Stock Exchange, was
personally conducted all over the place. He
now intends to own it' one of these days.
That cheerful little fellow next to him.
though, nurses no such hopes. His ambition
at present is to outguess his professors ; but
that grin and twinkle of his are never more
conspicuous than when he has signally failed
to do so. Rightly or wrongly, he seems to
consider the whole curriculum a joke, and the
Faculty a priceless collection of unconscious
humorists. But how he does perspire to pay
for such an education as he is allowing him-
self! Nearly every mill within twenty miles
has enjoyed his week-end and vacation ser-
vives. Last summer he took a night shift
in a sewage company's stoke hole, so as to
buy his ticket of readmission to our academic
vaudeville show.
"Speaking of night shifts — that rather jaded
lad there has put in sixty hours a week all
year, most of them between six and twelve
p. m„ serving ice cream sodas to the idle rich.
But even so, his rank card, and probably his
digestive apparatus, are in much better shape
than those of most of the students he serves.
They're certainly in better shape than those
of that peaked little fellow in the freshman
cap. We discovered a while ago that he had
been boarding himself, for a longer time and
on shorter rations than anybody but a pro-
fessional anchorite would find agreeable. He
had thirty-five cents left and therefore would
not accept a loan ; but he did welcome a job
setting up pins in a bowling alley and has
lived happy ever after.
"Then it's not a rich man's college?" Well,
at any rate the rich men here are not grind-
ing the faces of the poor to any noticeable
extent. You may be surprised by some sta-
tistics on the scholarship and college activities
of our sixty poorest men, men who are work-
ing their way through in whole, or in large
part.
"The scholastic standing of the senior and
junior classes is 11.2558 and 11.1000, respec-
tively ; the standing of the seniors and juniors
among these sixty is 12.8666 and 11.9333. In
both classes the average of the men among the
sixty is higher than that of any fraternity
or of the graduates of any school represented
at this college by three or more men. The
sophomore class average is 8.7853. that of
sophomore members of the sixty 9.6250. Only
in the case of the freshmen is the academic
standing of the labor group lower than that
of the class — 6.5000 and 7.2406. respectively.
Five of our twelve Phi Beta Kappa men are
among those sixty ; seven out of fourteen
honor men ; five varsity debaters : the varsity
football captain and three football letter men :
the varsity track captain, captain-elect, and
eight track letter men ; two varsity baseball
men ; the varsity football manager ; the varsity
track manager ; the leader of the glee club ;
the editor and editor-elect of the college
monthly ; the 'Popular Man' of the junior
class ; the president of the Student Council ;
the 'Enough?' Well, the list might
be extended to include every varsity and class
organization on the
" 'Must go ? Yes,' and there are all kinds
among those sixty. All kinds. Well, good-
bye. On your way out notice that lad in the
outer office at the desk by the door. He earned
his way through school and he's earning his
way through college. He puts in more hours
a day in these offices than the registrar and
dean combined. If you think his quiet man-
ner is due to stolidity, get him started on
some question in economics, or government,
or literature. You'd predict considerable suc-
cess for him, some reward commensurate with
his many years of industry and self-denial
and development. He is looking forward to
such a reward himself. And next June he
plans to sail to Africa to find it — as a mis-
sionary."— Boston Transcript.

The "Bear Skin."
The need has long been felt for a
college publication, which should give
expression to some of the amusing in-
cidents occurring on the campus. The
"Bugle," though it embodies a section
for material "of this sort, obviously
can not supply this need satisfactorily
because of the general nature and the
limited space of the volume. The
"Bugle," moreover, appears only once
a year. It is not the intention of the
new publication to compete in any
way with the "grind" section of the
year book, but to establish something
entirely different. The other two un-
dergraduate publications, the "Orient"
and the "Quill," have aims quite dif-
ferent from those of a humorous pub-
lication. In its proposed form, the
"Bear Skin" will be more or less on
the same order as the "Brown Jug,"
Amherst "Lord Jeff," and other col-
lege papers of the same type.
Such a publication merits and
should receive the hearty support of
undergraduates and " alumni. Both
may show their appreciation of its
advent by generous subscription and
liberal contribution to its content. The
"Orient" wishes the new publication
the best of luck.
The Blanket Tax Problem.
Last Friday the Student Council
held a meeting to consider the ad-
visability of raising the price of the
Blanket Tax. The Council decided
not to raise the tax, but since the
money is sorely needed for support of
athletics and other activities at Bow-
doin there are several devices for
raising the needed amount of money.
This is a matter which should be
carefully thought over by every Bow-
doin man before the time for decision
comes.
The cost of athletic equipment, the
price of railroad fares and the like,
has taken such a rise recently that
some means of raising more money to
carry on athletics, other than the
amount secured through the Blanket
Tax, must be devised.
Track started its season this fall
under a heavy burden. That depart-
ment was under a debt of approxi-
mately $600. Yet this is not to be re-
garded as unusual when it is realized
that track has but a small opportunity
to meet its expenses. The compara-
tively small gate receipts which are
received are barely enough to pay for
the cost of transporting the men to
the State meet.
The college went into hockey in
thorough fashion this year. A new
rink was built, an electric lighting
system was installed, and so forth, all
of which makes necessary a tremend-
ous increase in the amount of funds.
Football enjoyed a successful sea-
son this year, financially. The big
game of the State series was played
here at Whittier Field and even in
the out of town games Bowdoin was
a strong drawing card. Consequently,
the gate receipts piled up and pro-
duced sufficient money to pay for
practically all current expenses.
But considering now the money
owed in track, the salaries of coaches,
the increased cost of athletic equip-
ment, the costs of transportation, etc.,
already noted, it is clearly to be seen
that money must be raised, and more
than can be obtained by the present
Blanket Tax of $7.50 per man for
each semester. This fall when the
final checking of blanket taxes paid,
was compiled, it was discovered that
388 students had loyally done their
duty. As far as is known, it is prac-
tically safe to say that this number
represents a greater percentage of
paid taxes than has ever been reached
before. But even with this the case,
the financial demands for this year in
the support of major athletic activi-
ties here at Bowdoin will require more
money. The Student Council met Fri-
day for the express purpose of decid-
ing on a plan to settle this question.
It had been rumored about the campus
that the price of the tax would be in-
creased in the coming semester, but it
has been decided not to do this. The
following plan has been approved by
President Sills, the Student Council,
and the Athletic Council: That the
price of the Blanket Tax shall remain
at fifteen dollars a year; that the
extra amount of funds necessary for
this year should be raised by means
of an assessment of five dollars per
student, to be paid sometime in the
spring. Next year this expense will
be borne by the Athletic Council or
the College.
Since it is impossible to levy a tax
on the student body without their con-
sent, a mass meeting will be called
this spring to vote on the question.
This problem should be a vital one to
every Bowdoin man. Each of us
should come to some conclusion. Then
when the mass meeting is called this
spring, every man will know just what
is the best thing to do. Think it
over! p. D. S.
ADVANCE NEWS ON
THE B.A.A. MEET
Coach Jack Magee is planning for
a strong showing in the B. A. A.
games to be run off in Boston Febru-
ary 5. In addition to the relay team
a number of others are going to take
the trip for numerous track events.
A relay team of four (with a fifth as
substitute) is to be selected for the
one mile race (each man to go 440
yards) against Williams, from the
following candidates : Goodwin,
BOWDOIN ORIENT
331
Turner, Hatch Palmer, E. A.
Hunt, Partridge, G. V. Butler.
and Hardy. Last Saturday the
various runners showed up better
than last year's team, according to
Coach Magee, and it is expected that
the quartet finally selected will easily
uphold past standards.
Jack is training Goodwin particu-
larly for the Hunter mile classic, ex-
pecting very successful results. Bill
Hart is slated to try the three-mile
invitation race for the Gardner-Wil-
liams cup according to present re-
ports. One pole vaulter will probably
be selected from Cook, Mallett, and
F. P. Bishop. If Philbrook attains a
certain required height in the running
nigh jump, he too will be taken to
Boston.
One hurdler is to be chosen from
Captain Thomson, Pierce Clark,
Hardy, and Worsnop. Thus far
Thomson and Clark are the chief can-
didates. As for sprinters, one is to
be taken in addition to" any relay men
who may try the short dashes. The
candidates are Captain Thomson, Bis-
son, Butler, Palmer, Beals, J. T.
Small, and Worsnop.
Regarding the relay race, the "Bos-
ton Herald" has said, "The race ought
to be a gem. Bowdoin has George
Goodwin and Steve Palmer, two local
lads, ready for the fray, while Coach
Jackie Magee writes he has several
other capable men."
It is expected that a number of
Boston alumni and other Bowdoin
supporters will form a cheering sec-
tion to back the team. C. P. Rhoads,
last year's football captain, Sherman
N. Shumway, captain of the 1917 foot-
ball team, and Arthur H. McQuillan
'18 are making the arrangements for
this organized cheering. With the
runners all in good condition, and the
"dope" pointing favorably in all re-
spects, there is no reason to look for
results other than highly satisfactory.
BOWDOIN COLLEGE FORUM.
Since the war the Debating Council
has undertaken the conducting of a
Student Forum. The first meeting of
this season will be held on Monday
night, January 24, at 7.30 in the de-
bating room, Hubbard Hall.
Mr. James E. Rhodes, 2d., '97, will
talk on "Insurance as a Vocation."
Mr. Rhodes is an attorney of the
Travellers' Insurance Company and is
instructor in Insurance Law at the
Insurance Institute of Hartford.
Mr. Melvin T. Copeland, 1906, pro-
fessor of Marketing in the Harvard
University Graduate School of Busi-
ness Administration is to talk at a
meeting of the Forum early in the
second semester — watch for date.
With these two capable Bowdoin
graduates scheduled, the Debating
Council feels assured of a successful
season. The Student Forum is for
the students — interest on the part of
every man will make it a success.

THE DECEMBER "QUILL"
When a "Quill" comes out, the
"Orient" asks for a "Review" of it.
This critique — let us call it that tem-
porarily, since there is nothing else
to call it — undertakes to comply with
such a request, yet disclaims being a
Review. Reviews are professional,
extensive things, conceived in care
and clothed with authority. Here you
have, rather, merely a view, or some
views — some notes on the contents of
the December "Quill," random, im-
pressionistic, partial, capricious,
hasty.
The "Quill" is the organ of the
literary aspiration or inclination of
Bowdoin College. As such it should
be made up almost altogether of un-
dergraduate contributions. This con-
dition the December number amply
satisfies: only the first poem comes
from a graduate. Any gift of this
sort from an Alumnus should, by all
the laws of graciousness and grati-
tude, be exempt from appraisal here,
and it is the "Quill" Board which says
the "thank you." One might add,
however, that the rest of us who are
interested in the literary accomplish-
ment of the College always like to
find an impulse to write triumphing
over the pressures of graduate life.
The verse, the bits of fiction, the
essay-ettes, in the last "Quill" show
pretty generally, too, an impulse to
write. The writers would like to
writer — they do write. What they
write is not very spontaneous, or
flexible, or true to life, but they do
write. In some instances they write
because what somebody else has writ-
ten stirs the impulse. Here, for in-
stance, the signature may be in the
hand of the writer, but the voice is
the voice of Robert Frost. There the
voice is as the mingled echoes of the
various voices of Pre-Victorian sing-
ers of the twilight and the stilly night.
Since those singers quit, how oft, not
only in the stilly night but in the day-
time, right along, year in and year
out, have amateur poets written lines
like
" 'Mid deep'ning shades"
in the idea that the elision of harm-
less, necessary vowels, aside from
making the bes t come out right, is,
in itself, a sort of poetical grace?
Tom Moore and Tom Hood have much
to answer for. Or perhaps it is not
they who are to blame. We are not
a Review, and we are not very ac-
curate. We only want to blame some-
body. The point is that, even though
one may now and then still find
apostrophes successfully shortening
words for the convenience of the most
business-like of the most modern
manipulators of metre, the disem-
voweled line of the amateur always
looks and sounds hopelessly anti-
quated and affected.
To get back to Robert Frost: he is
very skilful in bringing out the lurk-
ing rhythms of just ordinary homely
talk, and he can go on for so long
keeping it just ordinary talk we get
the illusion that real persons are talk-
ing, and begin to think ordinary con-
versation and real characters and
poetry — that is, metrical language —
are quite one thing.
"I'm as particular as anyone"
is a fine specimen of natural talk, as
a real person talks it, and if you push
matters, you will find it is metrical.
But sometimes Frost comes to a place
where metre and the real talk of real
persons do not agree and cannot be
made to agree:
"I want him to; he'll have to, soon
or late — "
That is metre but not real talk. The
illusion of reality that "sooner or
later" would preserve is shattered.
Like master, like pupil. Mr. Coburne's
"With Mother Gone," though it is sin-
cere in feeling, and grips one on a
first reading, and though it contains
excellent lines (like "That is, to
Mother — she meant home to him")
and, as a whole, is by far the best
thing in the "Quill," suffers in spots
from the contention of metre with il-
lusion: "Brother Jamsie from Far
332
BOWDOIN ORIENT
East" is not real talk; only "Brother
Jamsie from the Far East" ap-
proaches reality to a certain degree.
"The profane hand of stranger
woman" is neither metre nor natural
talk. And then, as to the plausibility
of the underlying situation; the tone
of the poem is that of fresh sorrow,
still acute; one would date the utter-
ance at latest a day or two after the
funeral. But so soon as that seems
extremely soon for the stranger
woman to be looming up as Father's
second wife. Perhaps she is not quite
so much of a stranger to Father as
to the boys; perhaps Father has been
thinking for some time of a certain
widow woman — an old schoolmate
who is also a good cook. Is Father so
callously far-sighted as that? Is he
the villain of the piece ? The only
definite notion the reader gets of him
is that he is at worst testy, choleric
perhaps — anyway, disagreeable to
James.
The weaving of plots that turn in-
stantaneously on a pivot of irony is
part of the art of O. Henry. 'The
Back of the Picture" possibly con-
tains a hint of O. Henry; more prob-
ably it was generated by the movies.
The plot is ingenious; the substance
invented.
"In the Cynic's Tub," "Assorted
Nuts," and "The Strenuous Life" are
alike in dealing with things near
home; the writers have clone what un-
dergraduate writers are always being
urged to do; they have taken themes
from their own everyday existences,
and sought to depict life at first hand.
The first of these three contributions
sets forth a certain dejection that
seizes on those who use their brains
and get tired of using them. This
nameless sadness is often gibed at as
a mere figment of callow youth, in
spite of the fact that Solomon, who
started it, was much troubled by it
in his maturity. Our Diogenes has
not a veiy hard attack; he roars as
gently as a sucking dove. The ex-
perience of disillusionment has been
good for him; it has not made him
give forth anything so pithy as the
proverb about the undevout astrono-
mer, but has taught him the truth
that underlies that stale, perennial
saying. 'Assorted Nuts" is a com-
positional guffaw. It seems like an
improvised attempt to fill a gap in
the program. It does not measure
up to the standard the "Quill" ought
to maintain. Not because it is trivial.
Horseplay is one of the sheer spon-
taneities of college life. But you must
keep the charm of the spontaneity to
make such a subject interesting in
print — a very difficult thing to do, of
course. An obvious rule of farce is —
To stir a sure laugh, say "damn."
"Damn" always tickles the ears of
the groundlings, always sounds spon-
taneous. "Damned thing" is the most
spontaneous touch — or rather, the
two most spontaneous touches — in
"Assorted Nuts." On th? other hand,
"H-ll" is very much constrained and
ill at ease; it acts ashamed of itself.
Can anyone recall, in the whole range
of fiction or history from the child
Eva to John Woolman, a single char-
acter so ingenuous as to be capable
of being misled into the belief that
"H-ll" means anything different
from "hell?" "An Unromantic Ro-
mance" says "Hell" boldly; it has
that merit. "The Strenuous Life"
says something better; it says: "The
freshman is the man whose stern duty
is representation." That observation
is founded on fact. It is true to life.
It is put with dignity. It is almost
an epigram. If you like epigrams,
you will probably call it the best thing
in the December "Quill." H. E. A.

Bowdoin Undergraduate
of Twenty Years Ago
List Contributed to "Orient" Provides
Excellent Material for Compari-

This is a list of the books read for
fun, that is, not in connection with
courses, by an undergraduate at Bow-
doin some twenty years ago. The list
is taken from a journal of books read.
It includes books read both in term
time and in vacation. More than half
of the books are fiction, but most of
the authors are standard authors.
There is nothing at all extraordinary
in the list; it may be of interest to
undergraduates today for purposes of
comparison.

A meeting of some thirty letter men
was held in the debating room of the
Library last Thursday evening for the
purpose of starting a B Club. It was
decided that any man who had won a
letter in any of the six sports should
be eligible to membership in the club
and a committee of five was appointed
to draw up a constitution before the
next meeting, which will be held to-
morrow evening. The members of
the committee are Cook '21 (chair-
man), Holmes '21, McCurdy '22,
Partridge '22, and Mason '23.
Knowlton '22 and Cousens '23 were
elected to the "Quill" board last week.
All wishing to try for the position
of artist for the "Bear Skin" should
submit trial sketches to White at the
D.K.E. house by Friday, January 21.
At a recent meeting of the Student
Council it was decided that hereafter

bids for the two Junior societies, the
Friars and the Abraxas, are not
to come out until April 19.
Will all those Juniors who have had
a sitting at Webber's please order
their pictures now. The "Bugle"
cannot get the glossy print until you
order. Do it now!
At the recent meeting of the Ath-
letic Council the important matter be-
fore the body was that of changing
the dates of the interfraternity and
Sophomore-Freshman meets. Since
the Maine Interscholastic meet is held
in Hyde Gymnasium Saturday, March
5, it was decided to hold the more
representative meet the night before.
The Interfraternity meet was to have
been held two weeks later, Friday the
18th, but it will now be held on the
evening of the fourth while the inter-
class events will be called for the
later date.

DEATH OF WILLIAM
S. CORMACK '17
The facts recently received in re-
gard to the death of William S. Cor-
mack of the Class of 1917 are as fol-
lows:
He had been employed by the
Chinese Government to establish a
school of Aviation and to instruct
Chinese students. At the time of the
accident he was up with a Chinese
student and also with his flying part-
ner, Billy Smith, who is left to tell
the tale.
They flew to an altitude of about
5,000 feet above the clouds when sud-
denly something went wrong with the
machine. Cormack glided within 100
feet of the water when the motor
stopped completely, and within 600
yards from shore. He swam to with-
in 100 feet from the shore and went
down. Very probably he was injured
in some way when the plane fell.
The accident happened Nov. 16. The
body was recovered and buried in
Canton; service being held in the
home of Dr. Thompson, an American
missionary. Later the body will be
brought home to this country.

RESOLUTION
In Memoriam
Hall of Theta of Delta Kappa Epsilon:
In the death- of Brother Americus
Fuller, Theta Chapter of Delta Kappa
Epsilon has lost one of her oldest and
most respected brothers. Soon after
graduating from Bowdoin, he joined
the Union Army where he served in
the capacity of Chaplain, till the close
of the war. Up to the time of his
death Brother Fuller was one of the
few living members of this chapter,
who served during the war of the re-
bellion.
Shortly after the close of the war
he went to Turkey where he remained
nearly thirty years in the capacity of
missionary, and also as President of
Central Turkey College. At Bowdoin
Brother Fuller was a member of Phi
Beta Kappa and he received the de-
grees of A.M. and D.D. respectively.
The chapter extends its deepest
sympathy to the family and relatives
of the late Brother Fuller.

Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
God in His infinite goodness and wis-
dom to summon unto Himself our be-
loved brother, Malcolm Sumner
Woodbury, and
Whereas, In his death the Eta
Charge of Theta Delta Chi realizes
that it has lost a true and faithful
brother, whose every effort was for
the welfare and comfort of those
about him, therefore be it
Resolved, That the members of Eta

deeply beloved by all who knew him,
into the halls of Omega, that their
heartfelt sense of bereavement be ex-
tended to his family in their sorrow,
and that they be assured of the in-
expressible grief of the Eta Charge at
the loss of one who was bound to it
by the closest ties of friendship, and
be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered upon the records of Eta
Charge, that a copy be sent to his
bereaved family, to the Grand Lodge,
to each Sister Charge, and to the
Shield of Theta Delta Chi.

In consequence of the death of Hon.

GOVERNOR PERCIVAL P. BAXTER
cival Proctor Baxter, Bowdoin 1898,
automatically succeeded him as gov-

of the State Senate.
After first hearing of Governor

Plans for February 18-19
The president and the faculty of
the college are inviting the principals
of the leading schools in Maine and
Massachusetts to visit Bowdoin on
February 18 and 19, with such of their
students as are interested to see the
college at work under normal condi-
tions. Usually some athletic event
has been the chief attraction when
high school students have come here,
but this time it is the plan to have
demonstrations of all aspects of the
college in their usual appearance.
The visitors will have opportunities
to visit classes, to see numerous or-
ganizations carrying out their usual
duties, as well as to enjoy a special
program which has been planned for
these two days.
Students are being asked to co-
operate in this scheme, and they are
requested not to leave town over the
week~end, but to stay here and do all
they can to show the college at its
best.
INCREASE IN RHODES
SCHOLARSHIP
The General Secretary of the
Rhodes Scholarships has announced
that there will be a temporary in-
crease in the value of the scholarships
Until further notice each holder of a
Rhodes Scholarship will receive £350
per annum instead of £300.
Bowdoin opened up the 1921 track
season last Saturday night at the B.
A. A. games in the Boston Arena in
such brilliant fashion as to give all
supporters sufficient satisfaction for
the next few months until the Maine
championship meet. While the relay
team was fighting Williams for every
inch to a victory, it was entirely run-
ning away from the Brown quartet in
the triangular race between the three
colleges.
Cuddeback of Brown had the pole
at the start and broke away into the
lead. At the end of the lap both
Palmer of Bowdoin and Godding of
Williams had caught up with him, but
Palmer succeeded in giving Turner a
yard lead when the batons were
passed. Murphy of Brown made a
desperate attempt to take the lead,
but after this failed, his team began

PROFESSOR STANWOOD
UNABLE TO GIVE
COURSES THIS TERM
It is much to be regretted that Pro-
fessor Stanwood will be unable to give
his courses in International Law and
Common Law this semester, owing to
a serious trouble with his eyes. The
course in International Law will have
to be omitted entirely from the cur-
riculum, but Common Law will be
given as usual.
Mr. Clement F. Robinson '03 of
Portland, son of the late Professor
Franklin C. Robinson, is to teach the
Common Law course for the remaind-
er of the year.

H. D. Gibson Given High
Honor in Financial World
Harvey D. Gibson, LL.D., of the
Class of 1902 at Bowdoin, has been
recently honored with one of the high-
est positions in the world of finance.
The New York Trust Company and
the Liberty National Bank have re-
cently consolidated under one head,
to be known as the New York Trust
Company. Mr. Gibson is to be the
president of this new bank. As a re-
sult of this consolidation, the New

Last Friday afternoon the Bowdoin
fencers met the M. I. T. team at Cam-

his bouts, Ogden two, and Osterman
one. The Tech captain lost all three

tained his great ambition, and
was looking forward with the
best interests of the state at heart
to be at the head of an administra-
tion worthy of his best efforts."
Governor Baxter is one of the
youngest men who have been called
to be the chief executive of the state.
He was born in Portland on Novem-
ber 22, 1876, the son of Hon. James
Phinney Baxter (Litt.D., Bowdoin
1904, and a member of the Overseers
since 1894). Three years after he
graduated from Bowdoin he com-
pleted his course at the Harvard Law
School. Since that time he has served
in the Maine legislatures of 1905,
1909, 1917, 1919, and 1921.
His undergraduate record is of con-
siderable interest in that he was not
only a high grade student, but also
an unusually prominent figure in col-
lege activities. His chief campus
honors were the managership of the
baseball association, membership on
the College Jury (comparable to the
present Student Council), and the
editorship of both the "Orient" and
the "Quill." He was the first editor-
in-chief of Bowdoin's literary paper.
Besides these honors he was treas-
urer of the football association one
year, a member of the Glee Club and
of numerous other clubs. He won a
number of high scholastic honors.
In his second year he won the Sopho-
more Prize Declamation; in his third
year he was second in the Junior Prize
Declamation; and in his fourth year
he was Class Day Orator and had a
Commencement Day appointment.
Lastly he graduated with Phi Beta
Kappa honors. His fraternity is
Delta Kappa Epsilon.
Concerning his career since gradu-
ation, the "Boston Transcript" has the
following: "Mr. Baxter has been in-
terested in politics for twenty-five
years and has demonstrated the
ability as well as the inclination to
carry his convictions to definite con-
clusions. This is demonstrated more
particularly in his determination to
have the people of Maine benefit from
development of water power in the
state and to safeguard home consump-
tion. Support of his proposition was
meagre and hesitating at first. Even
those who give credit grudgingly are
forced to admit that he has accomp-
lished in large part that which he set
out to establish."
The "Transcript" also has this in-
teresting paragraph in reference to
his class of 1898: "His Bowdoin class
of 1898 in the twenty-three years
since it took degrees at Brunswick,
has accredited itself well. Among
his classmates are Guy H. Sturgis, at-
torney-general the past four years;
Emery G. Wilson, during the last two
terms members of the House of Rep-
resentatives from Portland; John F.
Dana, lawyer; Herbert H. Gardner,
lawyer; Theodore Gould, banker; Don-
ald Baxter MacMillan, Arctic ex-
plorer and Bowdoin professor; Dr.
Clarence F. Kendall; numerous bank-
ers, lawyers, and business men in the
list, most of whom are located in New
England."
Graduate Scholarships
The Longfellow and Everett Schol-
arships, giving Bowdoin men oppor-
tunities for graduate work in definite
selected fields, are to be awarded in
the near future. The Seniors wish-
ing them should send their applica-
tions to the Dean's office before Feb-
ruary 15.
Bowdoin Night at Augusta
Splendid Celebration of Kennebec
Alumni — Many Prominent Speakers
— Entertainment Well Managed By
Towle '22.
Last Saturday evening the Alumni
of Kennebec County celebrated their
annual Bowdoin night with much en-
thusiasm ■ in Augusta. Carroll S.
Towle '22, chairman of the Kennebec
Sectional Club, was largely responsi-
ble for the arrangements for the oc-
casion.
After a short business meeting, at
which Emery O. Beane '04 was elected
president of the association for the
present year, there were a number of
excellent speeches by various alumni
and guests. Professor Van Cleve was
the representative from the faculty.
He talked of the college as a whole;
its traditions, what it has stood for
scholastically in the past and what it
hopes for in the future, and the col-
lege spirit.
President Sills and Professor Wood-
ruff, who came to the meeting later
on, also talked on various subjects.
President Sills began his speech with
a laudatory reference to the late Gov-
ernor Parkhurst, and then spoke of the
work of Police Commissioner Curtis
'82 in the recent Boston police strike.
He told of the splendid spirit at some
of the alumni meetings which he has
been attending recently, and also of
the good work of numerous of the
younger graduates.
Towle '22 spoke for the under-
graduates, and after describing the
benefits to be derived from college
not only intellectually, but also in so-
cial training and character forming,
he did the novel act of introducing
the dozen or more undergraduates
present and enumerating the honors
which they had won in college.
Among the other speakers were
Melvin S. Holway '82, Mayor San-
ford L. Fogg '89, Lewis A. Burleigh
'91, Senator Frank G. Farrington '94,
Charles A. Knight '96, Rev. Henry E.
Dunnack '97, F. Keith Ryan ex- '05,
and Colonel R. B. Cooke, University of
Tennessee '85. Mr. Beane was the
toastmaster.
Over a hundred people were pres-
ent, including alumni, undergraduates,
BOWDOIN ORIENT
and guests. The meeting, like other
alumni meetings of the last month or
two, was highly enthusiastic and the
speaking was of unusually high order.
Insurance As a Vocation
Lecture By J. E. Rhodes '97 at First
Forum Meeting.
The first meeting of the Bowdoin
Forum for the year was held in the
Debating Room in the Library on
January 24. James E. Rhodes, 2d, '97,
spoke on the history of insurance and
its various forms in a lecture entitled
"Insurance as a Vocation."
In discussing the history of insur-
ance, the speaker alluded to its oc-
currence among the Romans, at
Rhodes, among the Lombards, in Eng-
land after the London fire of 1666,
and eventually in this, country. The
origin of both property insurance and
life insurance is very obscure. Life
insurance can be traced back as far
as 1760, while property insurance is
thought to have originated at Rhodes.
Mr. Rhodes discussed the definition
and the significance of insurance, re-
garding it rather as a means of pre-
vention than of compensation.
In concluding his talk, Mr. Rhodes
told of the opportunities in insurance.
He described the qualifications for
selling and for home-office work, as
well as the general character of
these two divisions of insurance posi-
tions.
B. A. A. Games
(Continued from page 341)
to lose ground continually until the
end of the race. Turner maintained
his lead over Crofts of Williams, and
Hunt kept it over Mondes. Goodwin
started off with this same advantage
over Richmond, and held it until the
end, although the Williams man
pushed him to the limit.
E. A. Hunt, Bowdoin's entry in the
660-yard handicap, which was won by
Stephen Palmer last winter, came
through and repeated the Bowdoin
victory of last year. There were
three trial heats, the fastest of which
was won by Hunt in the time of one
minute, twenty and three-fifths sec-
onds. In the final heat Hunt bettered
this time by two-fifths of a second.
According to the "Portland Tele-
gram," "Hunt took the lead and pole
at the gun, held it three laps and lost
it twice, and then sprinting like a
cyclone at the yarn, copped the de-
cision by an eyelish over Reinacher
of Yale."
In the Hunter mile, which was won
by H. C. Cutbill (Boston A. A.) in
4m. 22 3-5s., George Goodwin finished
third. Cutbill set the pace for the
first lap and then Goodwin took the
lead to hold it for five laps. Cutbill,
Connolly (Georgetown), and Devaney
(Milrose A. C.) passed him about this
time, but in the tenth lap Goodwin
regained third place, which he held
to the end, despite an eleventh hour
spurt by Sanborn of M. I. T.
Captain Thomson, Pierce Clark, and
Hardy started the hurdles, but none
of them succeeded in qualifying, al-
though each of them ran a creditable
race. Bill Hart had the ill for-
tune to get cramps after going two-
thirds of the distance in the three-
mile run.
The summary (involving Bowdoin
events) :
1852- Yard Relay — Bowdoin (S.
Palmer, P. S. Turner, E. A. Hunt, G.
R. Goodwin); Brown (C. E. Cudde-
back, J. F. Murphy, J. F. Beagan, W.
C. Farstall); Williams (J. W. God-
ding, Jr., J. W. Crofts, J. 0. Mondes,
S. Richmond). Won by Bowdoin; sec-
ond, Williams; third, Brown. Time,
3m. 50s.
660-Yard Handicap— Won by E. A.
Hunt, Bowdoin (24 yards); second, G.
L. Reinacher, Yale (18 yards); third,
A. V. Greeley, Exeter (18 yards).
Time, lm. 20 l-5s.
Hunter Mile— Won by H. C. Cut-
bill, B. A. A.; second, J. J. Connolly,
Georgetown University; third, G. R.
Goodwin, Bowdoin. Time, 4m. 22
3-5s.
The Saturday before the B. A. A.
games, the trials were held for the
relay team. Hunt tied the record for
the 390-yard distance, and Turner and
Goodwin were both one-fifth of a sec-
ond behind him. Palmer was three-
fifths of a second slower than Hunt,
while Butler, finishing fifth, won the
alternate position on the team. Hunt's
performance won him the Augusta
Cup, awarded annually to the relay
man making the fastest time in these
trials.
52nd Annual New York
Alumni Dinner
One of the most enthusiastic and
enjoyable gatherings of Bowdoin men
held since the memory of man run-
neth not to the contrary occurred at
the Hotel Pennsylvania, New York,
N. Y., Friday evening, January 28th,
when one hundred six (106) men met
for the New York Alumni's annual
dinner. Singing and cheering were
the order of the evening, and many
staid and dignified men of prominence
in the metropolis were moved to dis-
play vocal and terpsichorean abili-
ties of no mean order.
H. D. Gibson, 1902, president of the
association, presided, and acted as
toastmaster, introducing as the prin-
cipal speakers, President Sills of the
College, Mr. John Garnett Young of
the Student Council, Mr. Philip Dana,
chairman of the Alumni Fund; and
Dr. H. B. McCracken, president of
Vassar College. Rommilly Johnson,
1906, well-known opera and concert
singer and composer, rendered sev-
eral delightful selections during the
dinner and led the impromptu sing-
ing in which all the ex-glee club men
and would-be glee club men of an-
cient years joined lustily. A promi-
nent Wall Street banker and an ex-
Major in the A.E.F. offered a charm-
ing feature dance as a special num-
ber,' and a baseball captain of the
vintage of fifteen years ago pleasing-
ly rendered a resurrected version of
"And When I Die."
In interims during the excitement,
letters of regret were read from Con-
gressman White, Major George Haven
Putnam, Chancellor Day of Syracuse
University, and other distinguished
Bowdoin men. During another lull
the meeting voted unanimously to
subscribe three hundred dollars to-
ward the expense of sending a team
to win at the Milrose A. C. games,
and in another period of suspense the
following officers of the association
were elected for the ensuing year:
President, George R. Walker, 1902.
Vice Presidents, Frederick W. Pick-
ard, 1894; Hon. Henry B. Quinby,
1869; Emery H. Sykes, 1894; Hoyt A.

National Security League
of the true civic patriotic American
of the present hour. . . . The
American college, as a protecting
shield of Americanism, is asked to co-
operate in this new campaign for a
better America."
A branch of the league has recently
been formed at Williams, where over
two hundred men have become mem-
bers. The league is hoping to have
a similar success here at Bowdoin, in
spite of the fact that this sort of
thing has not as yet obtained much
of a foothold here.
RHODES SCHOLAR FROM YALE
TO GIVE COURSES IN CLASSICS
A circular letter, accompanied by a
pamphlet and membership application
blank, has been sent to every student
in college by Edwin L. Harvey '05,
Executive Secretary of the National
Security League. The purpose of the
league, "to keep America American,"
is an idea originated by the late ex-
President Theodore Roosevelt.
"The spirit of his teachings as re-
gards the security of American in-
stitutions, individuality, and loyalty,
is immortal and lives on in the soul
During the next semester Mr.
Thomas Means, Yale 1910, is to teach
various courses in the classics in
place of Dean Nixon, who is absent
on a sabbatical period. Mr. Means
has made a fine record in classical
study, both in his undergradute work
at Yale and in his work since then.
A year after graduating from Yale
he received the A.M. degree from
that university, after which he went
to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. After
his three years abroad he was in the
graduate school at Harvard (1916-17).
During the two following years he
served in the war, and since then he
has been teaching in a Yale tutorial
school. This semester he Ss expected
to teach the classes in Latin 2, Latin
4, and Greek B.
Bowdoin Loses To
Portland C. C.
Bowdoin lost its second game of the
hockey season on Wednesday, Janu-
ary 19, to the Portland Country Club
on the Portland rink. The score was
four to one, Bowdoin's goal being
made by Palmer.

Portland C. C. 8, Bowdoin 4
The Delta was the scene of much
action a week ago Wednesday after-
noon when the Portland Country Club
hockey team took Bowdoin's measure
to the tune of 8-4. It was a fast
game, full of action from beginning
to end. Bowdoin scored twice soon
after the game had started, but the
visitors found themselves quickly,
took the lead, and were never again
in danger throughout the game.
The cold snap of the preceding
days had put a fine surface on the
rink and the weather conditions were
admirable. About 150 witnessed the
game.
Hall of Portland was the individual
star of the game, his superb skating
and accurate shooting resulting in
half of his team's scores. Provost oi
Bowdoin played his position in fine
fashion, while Captain MorrelPs de-
fensive work was of the same quality
that he has shown in preceding games
this season. Whitman also shewed
up well.
The summary is as follows:
PORTLAND— —BOWDOIN

land Country Club. Time. 15-minute periods.
Bates Wins Hockey Game
The first hockey game of the sea-
son to be played at Bowdoin on the
new rink resulted in a score of four
to nothing with Bates the winner.
Bates scored once early in the first
period. In the second period the
visitors forced the playing into the
Bowdoin territory very quickly and
scored three goals in rapid succession.
A subsequent change in the Bowdoin
line-up appeared to make a decided
difference in the home team's playing,
keeping Bates from scoring and also
threatening her goal at times.
Stanley and Cutler were the chief
individual stars of the game, while
Whitman and Miguel did well for
Bowdoin. Stanley's goal in the sec-
ond period was easily the best play
of the game. Bowdoin's lack of team-
work was the chief weakness in the
White's performance.
The summary:

OEDttorial
The New Semester.
The second semester opens with the
temporary loss of four of the Faculty.
Dean Nixon and Professor Elliott are
taking their sabbaticals. Professor
Woodruff is called from his academic
duties by the Maine Legislature. Pro-
fessor Stanwood has also been excused
on account of the weakness of his
eyes.
The withdrawal of these men from
the ranks of our professors will be
keenly felt by all connected with the
College. All have been zealous in the
performance of their undertakings,
and their zeal has been rewarded by
worthwhile results in class room and
in public life.
The college professor is becoming
less and less the recluse that tradi-
tion has painted him; more and more
he is becoming a man of affairs as
well as a man of letters. This change
can not but be for the better, both
for the college professor and for the
general public.
All of the men who are leaving us
this semester have been connected
with enterprises and activities outside
the immediate circle of the college
community. Their influence has,
therefore, been of corresponding value
upon the community at large.
We bid our professors farewell
,vith regret. We hope, however, that
hey may return to their duties here
still further inspired with zeal for
their mission.
Stanley Plummer
Prize Competition

President Sills Speaks
At Alumni Banquets
During the examination week,
President Sills made a trip to New
York and Philadelphia, and was the
principal speaker at the annual alumni
banquets in those cities. On January
27, the day before the New York
Alumni meeting, he presided at a con-
ference of the presidents of five
Episcopalian colleges in New York.
On Friday evening, the 28th, Presi-
dent Sills attended the annual dinner
of the New York Alumni Association
and spoke concerning the policy of
limitation in regard to number of stu-
BOWDOIN ORIENT
347
dents as carried out here at Bowdoin.
The following was quoted from Presi-
dent Sills's speech in the "New York
Herald" of January 29:
"The discovery of those conditions
which have led Princeton to this ac-
tion was made at Bowdoin a great
many years ago. We have not been
willing to surrender our standards or
to interfere with what we believed
were the principal standards of a col-
lege. We have our minds set upon
a college of not more than 500 stu-
dents that shall preserve the New
England tradition. We want to draw
largely from New England stock, but
we also hope that the number of stu-
dents coming from states outside of
New England will increase. A col-
lege is not simply a social club or an
athletic club or a religious institution,
but a home of learning."
On Monday night, January 31,
President Sills spoke at the reunion
of the Philadelphia Alumni Associa-
tion. These dinners of the New York
and Philadelphia Alumni Associations
were huge successes and totalled the
largest attendances yet present.
In Worcester, Tuesday, the Presi-
dent attended the inauguration of
President Atwood of Clark University.
President Sills concluded his trip
last Wednesday in Boston on college
business.
Annual Banquet of
Philadelphia Alumni
The annual banquet and meeting of
the Bowdoin Alumni Association of
Philadelphia was held on Monday,
January 31, at the Bellevue-Stratford
in Philadelphia. President Sills was
the principal speaker, and among the
others who gave brief remarks were
Frederick W. Pickard '94, Joseph A.
Davis '08, John H. Halford ex-'07, and
Edgar C. Taylor '20. Walter L. San-
born '01 presided at the meeting, as
the association president for 1920.
The newly elected officers for 1921 are
Frederick W. Pickard '94, president;
and John W. Leydon '07, secretary.
This year's meeting of the associa-
tion was the best attended of any
that have yet taken place. About
forty men were present, and the re-
sults of the meeting give every indi-
cation of similar successes in the
future.

In the January number of the
"Union College Alumni Monthly," ap-
peared the following paragraph re-
garding presidential teaching in col-
leges: "There was nothing strange
about presidential teaching eighty
years ago. It was the normal order
and men like Woods of Bowdoin, Way-
land of Brown, and Hopkins of Wil-
liams are recalled as great teachers
rather than as men skilled in adminis-
tration. The wisdom Dr. Nott im-
parted to hundreds of students, among
them, by the way, being Woods and
Wayland, could not be found within
the pages of Karnes. It sprang from
his own powerful intellect and un-
usual knowledge of men and public
affairs."

Resolution
Bowdoin Delta Upsilon:
The untimely death of Brother Wil-
liam Sinclair Cormack, of the Class
of 1917, occasions to Delta Upsilon a
sorrow that is difficult to word, be-
cause it goes somewhat deeper than
words. There is a peculiar grief that
comes from the spectacle of well-
balanced powers cut off before ma-
turity, and Brother Cormack was a
man of unusual poise, coupled with a
strain of adventurous daring. His
activities in college covered literary,
scientific, athletic, and executive
tastes, in all which he acquainted him-
self with quiet credit.
In the war he made a fine record
in naval aviation in the north of
France. Upon his discharge he ex-
plored Labrador by airplane, and at
the time of his death he was pioneer-
ing as a teacher in one of the first
schools of aviation to be established
in China.
Delta Upsilon extends to the family
and friends of Brother Cormack its
respectful sympathy.

Program For Friday
and Saturday
As announced last week, principals
and students from numerous Maine
and Massachusetts schools are visit-
ing Bowdoin this week-end at the in-
vitation of the president and the
faculty. A prog-ram has been ar-
ranged whereby the guests of the col-
lege will have an opportunity to see
Bowdoin in its every-day appearance.
Not only will there be athletic
events on the program but also many
other aspects of the college are to be

Professor Crawford On
Arthurian Legend
King Arthur From Celtic Fable To
Tennyson — Ibis Open Lecture.
At the annual open meeting of the
Ibis last Friday evening in the De-
bating Room of Hubbard Hall, Pro-
fessor Douglas Gordon Crawford of
Boston University, lectured on the
subject of King Arthur and the de-
velopment of the Arthurian romances.
The speaker was introduced by R. W.
Morse '21, president of the Ibis.
Professor Crawford began his lec-
ture by dividing the writers of Ar-
thurian tales into four classes; his-
torical, epic, romantic, and allegorical.
Sir Thomas Malory was the first
writer to collect these stories and
weave them into some sort of a
fabric.
These tales, beginning as early as
the fifth century, underwent a con-
tinual alteration and change, which
has lasted up to the present day. As
the years passed by the characters
developed and grew along with the
times. Thus we have many different
Arthurs. ' First there was the dux

Zeta Psi Wins Friar Cup The Welcome of the College

The cup is awarded by the Friars to
that fraternity securing the highest
average scholastic grades in each se-

A is set equal to four units, B three,
C two, D one, and E minus two.
The non-fraternity group leads all
the organizations on the campus, with
Zeta Psi second. The cup is given

The Ripon Debate
Next Tuesday evening in Memorial
Hall the Bowdoin debaters are to meet
the team from Ripon College of Ripon,
Wisconsin. The visiting team left
Ripon last Thursday and debated with
Northwestern College at Naperville,
111., on Friday. The second debate
was against Westminster at New Wil-
mington, Penn., on Tuesday of this
week. The next debate is today (Fri-
day) against Union College, after
which Bowdoin is to be Ripon's op-
ponent.

SCHOLASTIC RECORD OF
FIRST SEMESTER
The work of the undergraduates at
Bowdoin College as tested by the re-
cent examinations is the best of which
we have any record. Despite the fact
that standards in the courses were
rigidly maintained, there were fewer
failures than ever, and fewer stu-
dents who were unable to meet the
requirements laid down. This record
of fine scholarship is probably not as
interesting to the public as would be
athletic vicitories; but the facts are
set forth for what they are worth.
KENNETH C. M. SILLS.
President Sills Greets Our Visitors
From the High Schools.
Bowdoin College is very glad to
greet so many boys from so many
schools who are thinking seriously of
a college education. We are anxious
to show that the modern college has
many different aspects to its life and
activities — the social, the literary, the
athletic, the scholastic.
Not long ago one of our most dis-
tinguished alumni, who in his day oc-
cupied a position of great influence
in the national government and who
also has written books of worth, said:
"As I grow old, I lose somewhat of
my interest in politics: the books I
have written seem to me utterly to
belong to the past: but in two things
my devotion is unflagging and my in-
terest never lessens — the one is my
church, the other is my college."
If schoolboys can catch something
of the influence that radiates from
Bowdoin and from other colleges no
less, they will see how much richer
their lives will be if in the most
plastic period of their youth they
learn the lessons which every good
college teaches — the lessons of honest
work and hearty play and inspiriting
comradeship. And by showing what
the college really is, we hope to help
many a lad to come to a decision that
will have far reaching consequence in
his life. K. C. M. S.
Inter-Fraternity Basketball
Last week, Thursday, the first
games of the Interfraternity Basket-
ball League were played. Four games
have been played now, and according

been shown in all respects thus far,
and the future of the season "looks
rosy" for the league. From now on

Medical School Offered
$50,000 Building
Hugh J. Chisholm of New York,
the son of the donor of the Chisholm
scholarship, has recently offered to
give the sum of fifty thousand dollars
to the Medical School for the purpose
of erecting a building on Chadwick
street, Portland. This fine offer is
being made on condition that the
Medical School have income sufficient
to meet the requirements of a Class
A institution, and also that the col-
lege give the Medical School the land,
building's, and equipment in Portland
which have been heretofore used ex-
clusively in connection with the Medi-
cal School.
The committee appointed by the
governing boards to supervise the af
fairs of the Medical School has unani
mously recommended that the Trus-
tees and Overseers accept Mr. Chis-
holm's offer with the conditions speci-
' fled.
This offer of a building, and the
willingness of the college authorities
to transfer the old property to the
school, make the question of the Medi-
cal School a perfectly definite prob-
lem for the State legislature to con-
sider.
RIPON DEBATE
(Continued from page 357)
Concerning the Bowdoin debate, the
"Ripon College Days" for February 8
says: "Bowdoin is recognized as one
of the oldest and most exacting in-
stitutions of New England. Profes-
sor H. P. Boody (Bowdoin, 1C06), has
no fears, however, in sending his
negative team against representatives
of his Alma Mater." Ripon meets
Dartmouth and St. Lawrence Univer-
sity after the Bowdoin debate.
The Ripon team is composed of
Paul G. Rodewald (leader), Arthur H.
Filbey, and J. Harold Bumby, with
Bruno E. Jacob as manager. Profes-
sor Henry P. Boody is coaching the
team in preparation for its long trip
to the East. The team is reputed to
be one of the strongest that the col-
lege has yet had; and for this reason
the debate next Tuesday should have
an added interest for Bowdoin sup-
porters.
Bowdoin is to be represented by Jo-
seph L. Badger '21, Albert R. Thayer
'22, George B. Welch '22, and Lloyd
H. Hatch '21 (alternate). As in the
Dartmouth debate, Bowdoin is to sup-
port the affirmative of the question,
"Resolved, that European immigration
should be further restricted." The
Bowdoin men have been working un-
der the coaching of Professor Davis
since the Dartmouth debate both for
the Bradbury prizes and for the de-
bate of next Tuesday.

Bowdoin Has Easy Win
At Milrose Games
Tuesday, February 8, at the Milrose
A. C. games in New York Bowdoin
ran in a one-mile relay race against
Colby and New York University. The
race resulted in a complete walk-
away for the White. So easy was the
victory that it was impossible to set
up a time record satisfactory for
making- comparisons between Bowdoin
and the other colleges represented in
the games.
Palmer led off for Bowdoin and se-
cured a fifteen-yard lead with ease
for Turner to work with. Each Bow-
doin man continued to increase this
lead, until finally Goodwin finished
some sixty yards ahead of Brier of
Colby, who in turn was about fifty
yards in front of Mayer of N. Y. U.
Considering this race, and also the
races at the B. A. A. games, it does
not seem out of place to proclaim
Bowdoin the State relay champion be-
yond any reasonable doubt.
The line-ups of the three teams
were as follows: Bowdoin (Palmer,
Turner, Hunt, Goodwin); Colby (E. C.
Niles, N. Foran, J. W. McGary, W. G.
Brier) ; New York University (M.
Spitalney, W. W. Cullin, W. B. Mil-
holland, H. Mayer). Time — 3m. 37
l-5s.
BASKETBALL

Bradbury Debate
Last Wednesday evening, the an-
nual Bradbury debate was held in
Memorial Hall. The subject, "Re-
solved, that, European immigration
should be further restricted," is the
same as in the Dartmouth debate,
and is also the one to be treated in
the debate with Ripon next Tuesday.
The negative team, consisting of F.
W. Anderson '21, L. A. Daviau '23,
A. R. Thayer '22, and C. 0. Small '23
(alternate), was awarded the first
prize over the affirmative team, con-
sisting of J. L. Badger '21, L. H.
Hatch '21, G. B. Welch '22, and J. W.
Hone '21 (alternate).
Professor Davis presided over the
debate, and the judges were Profes-
sor Andrews, Professor Catlin, and
Mr. Wilder. The team to debate with
Ripon was selected, the three speak-
ers being Badger, Thayer, and Welch,
with Hatch as alternate.
The January "Quill.'
For the present reviewer, the con-
tents of the January "Quill" naturally
divide themselves into those which he
has seen before and those which are
new to him. To the second category
belong Mr. Draper's poem, Mr.
Morse's sketch, and Mr. Noyes' essay.
Each of these contributions is worthy
to appear in the Bowdoin College
magazine. The types represented in
"Rusticators" are not very clear cut,
and the manner of depicting them is
heavy. The author would do well to
frame his comments upon the highly
concrete, more penetrating model of
the seventeenth-century character
writers. "Dreams" succeeds in con-
veying the impression named in the
title; its first stanza is very satis-
factory, but the second seems incon-
sistent— it is hard to reconcile, even
in dreamland, the third and the tenth
lines. "A Tragic Lover" deals with a
biographical situation which is neither
recondite nor elusive, but presents it
in a firm, workmanlike, literary man-
ner. Contributions such as these
three, though they may not win new
laurels for the publication, quite
justify its continued existence, and
must, I think, provide mild relief if
not gratification to recent "Quill"
critics.
The other four contributions belong-
to the first category named above, be-
ing already familiar to the reviewer
in manuscript; each was presented to
him by its author who, as the pro-
vincially unidiomatic Bowdoin phrase
has it, was "taking a course to him."
Each then, as the reviewer now re-
calls it, seemed to him pretty good,
worth an A as a piece of day-to-day
composition. Mr. Cousens has sus-
tained a difficult and generally inex-
pressive verse form without burlesque,
with a measure of dignity. Vocabu-
lary, an ear for word-music, and either
commendable facility or commendable
industry are reflected in Mr. Bitun's
effusion (I connive at his attempt to
conceal himself, noting merely that
the veritably Baconian clue I. M. B.-

over-weighting expression. And Mr.
Klees has selected so cleverly his lit-
tle excerpt from busy, mid-semester
life that one feels as if he had been
just outside the door on the actual
or well-imagined occasion it depicts.
But not all of these productions,
"excellent" as they were in a college
course, would have been approved by
the reviewer for publication in the
"Quill." "Life" may be nearly as sin-
cere as most modern poems on its
particular theme, but there is far too
little distinction in its expression to
redeem the utter commonplaceness of
its thought. "To My Lady" might at
least have been revised carefully: the
punctuation of the third stanza is de-
fective; the rhyme of "Diana" with
"manner," though phonetically cor-
rect in the prose of educated English-
men is not poetically accepted in Eng-
land nor in any sense desirable in
America (a famous rhyme of "beata"
with "mater" to the contrary notwith
standing); and the use of "deign" in
the last stanza is simply impossible.
Each of these compositions would
have served its writer nobly if he had
produced it, got what he could out of
it among a hundred or so other ex-
periments in expression required in a
college course, and then consigned it
to oblivion.
"The Death of Sir Skeeter" is more
worthy. To have conceived such a
burlesque was a kind of triumph; to
have executed it with no greater vio-
lence to language and tradition than
these verses exhibit; was another. Per-
haps it belongs ' in the "Bear Skin"
rather than the "Quill," perhaps in
some future catch-all which may be
developed to accommodate worthy
productions not quite suitable for
either of those best-sellers. The col-
lege world would be poorer by far
without it and without an occasional
production of smaller type and
quality.
"Poor Old Lady" surely justifies its
place in the "Quill." With an eye
for situation, for completeness in the
midst of the incompleteness of every-
day undergraduate life, with facility
and felicity in selecting and enforcing,
its author has produced something
which years hence will bring back to
a careworn graduate pleasing and
vivid recollection of the gladsome
trials of educating himself. Why,
even "To My Lady" and "Life" might
have figured commendably in the
pages of the "Quill" if embedded in
genuine undergraduate common clay
like the fragment about the "poor old
lady."

this is — whether or not I should give

Interscholastic Meet
Manager McGorrill of the track
team has sent invitations to about
seventy-five secondary schools of
New England for the interscholastic
meet to be held March 5 in the Hyde
Athletic Building.
Exeter and Andover are both plan-
ning to enter teams and the Hunting-
ton School of Boston will send a team.
As Huntington won the meet last year,
defeating Hebron overwhelmingly for
the first time in an interscholastic
meet in Maine, the school is especially
eager to compete again this year when
there is to be the added competition
provided by Exeter and Andover.
A silver cup is to be awarded to
the highest point winner, this trophy
being offered this year for the first
time.
Added interest in the meet for the
smaller schools is promised this year
on account of a change in the scor-
ing of points. Heretofore first place
has counted five, second three, and
third one. This year third place is to
count two and fourth place one.
Among the more prominent schools
included in this meet are Exeter, An-
dover, Huntington School, Moses
Brown School, Hebron, Marblehead
(Mass.) High, Deering High, Port-
land High, Westbrook Seminary,
Maine Central Institute.
The largest entry yet recorded is
expected for this meet. In addition
to the prominent Massachusetts
schools, a large number of small
Maine schools hitherto unrepresented
are planning to enter teams, such as
Waterville High, Kennebunk High,
Newport High, and Oak Grove Semi-
nary.
IBIS LECTURE
(Continued from page 357)
bellorum, the rough and ready soldier.
He was an actual man, but the tales
told in the chimney corners on a
winter's night, added many brave and
valorous deeds to those he had really
performed, until by the twelfth cen-
tury the historic Arthur was trans-
formed into the epic and romantic
Arthur, the hero of chivalry. With
the passing- of the Crusades and of
the age of chivalry, the stories of
Arthur became less popular until re-
vived in recent times. Tennyson
painted Arthur as an allegorical
figure, "whose priggishness makes
one wish to slap his Victorian wrist."
Even today King Arthur and the
legends of the Round Table are im-
mensely popular, for when the out-
ward form no longer attracts peo-
ple, they are moved by the inner sig-
nificance.
The origin of the legends is not
altogether certain, but it is most prob-
able that they came from Ireland. At
the beginning Arthur was represented
as a king of fairyland and he seems
to be in the midst of a web of Celtic
fancy. Merlin well represents this
side of the legends, and it is signifi-
cant that Merlin plays an important
part only in the earlier stories.
These legends, particularly those
concerning the Grail, have a large and
varied appeal. Probably it is because
unconsciously we are idealists at
heart, and to us these tales are "the
mystic symbol of a great and unsel-
fish sacrifice for the sake of a high
ideal."
Professor Crawford's address was
cordially received, many in the audi-
ence expressing the wish in particular
that he had, in illustration, read more
poetry, an art in which he has much
skill. Professor Crawford was form-
erly instructor in English at Phillips
Andover Academy. He is at present
much interested in the work which
Boston University is doing in the edu-
cation of returned soldiers who are
now attending American colleges and
universities under assistance from
the Federal Government.
Before the lecture the Ibis gave a
dinner at the Hotel Eagle, in honor of
Professor Crawford. Besides the un-
dergraduate members of the society,
there were present at the dinner
President Sills, and Professors Bell,
Cram, and Elliott, who are honorary
members of the Ibis.
He — "Now do you understand the
game?"
She — "Perfectly, but why are all
those players chasing that poor fel-
low?"
He — "Oh, he has the ball."

other one?" — Washington Sun Dodg-
Inter-Collegiate News
In the past Bowdoin has very large-
ly confined herself to the field of ath-
letics in entertaining men from the
various preparatory schools. We are
this year endeavoring to do some-
thing different, something that will
reach not only the athlete but also
the young men who are interested in
other fields. Tonight and tomorrow
we are entertaining here at Bowdoin
men from the secondary schools in
this and in other states. There are
no athletic contests staged at this
time, but a committee from the
faculty and student body has drawn
up a program that should be of last-
ing interest to every one who is
privileged to be here. This program
aims to show those activities of the
college that do not gain such pub-
licity at other times. Of course ath-
letics do a lot for a college and we
do not want Bowdoin to fail in that
respect, but studies are also a feature
of college life and if we want the best
in athletics we also want the best in
scholarship. Let's do our best to
show this side of Bowdoin just as we
do to show the other side of our col-
lege life.
It is interesting to note the ways
in which the other colleges seek to
attract sub-freshmen. They have
their athletic carnivals much as do we
here and besides they have different
schemes for attracting the non-
athlete. Notable among such schemes
is that of inter-scholastic debating
leagues such as we have and such as
are found in many other places. Again
we note prize speaking contests that
are held at the college itself, a plan
that is in practice at Princeton and
other institutions. And all these
plans have a common end — to attract
and interest the prep school man
whose bent lies outside athletic effort.
As has been pointed out the import-
ance of this field is generally recog-
nized and in the past Bowdoin has
gone at it in the same manner as
have nearly all other colleges. Under
this present plan, however, she seems
to be striking a new note. The plan
goes much farther than anything that
has been done before along this line
and we hope for great success.

"Is College Worth While?"
Bowdoin College is trying a new ex-
periment this week. It is an experi-
ment in education, not for the men
on her class lists, but for the boys
of the territory from which most of
her alumni and her resources have
been drawn. It is a short course but
a broad one. It involves no entrance,
requirement but interest, no fees but a
willingness to see and hear, and no
examination but such self-examination
as the student cares to give. It is a
course of education in college educa-
tion, an attempt to teach by practical
demonstration what college may do
for the boy who brings to it his brains
and body, his time, his money and his
industry. It is an effort to meet the
rjucstion which high school principals
hear so often, and which writers in
popular magazines delight to answer:
:'Is college worth while?" Hundreds of
millions of dollars have been given to
the colleges, and in the income of
these great funds every high school
graduate may claim a share. If he
selects a college which is generously
oiovided, and especially one where
scholarships abound, his share may be
large; but in any case he must make
contributions of his own which call
for careful thought. Mindful of this,
Bowdoin has invited boys of the sur-
ounding schools to come and see, —
,d come and estimate what it will
ost them to take what one college
ias to offer, and, having estimated.
to judge whether the advantages of-
fered are worth the price.
What is the offering that this col-
lege has to make ? It is the offering
that all colleges of the highest class
have made for many years, the offer
of all-round development, develop-
ment of brain and body, of capacity
for enjoyment of the better things in
life, and, through all, of character. It
is the old mens sana in corpore sano
in twentieth century guise. But
methods of attaining this ideal may
differ, and Bowdoin has hei own solu-
tion. "To her, minds are made healthy,
not by vain repetitions such as the
heathen use, not by the cramming
and repetition of mere masses of fact,
but by exercises in speed and supple-
ness and agility, — by exercises in the
sure selection of the essential, the or-
ganization and mastery of knowledge
in such manner that it may be of use
in all contingencies. In short she
would offer a mental gymnasium
where men can learn to think clearly,
to think quickly, to think accurately,
and to think through. This is the
training that men in business, in pro-
fessions, and in all other activities
that are worth while, need most: and
this is the training which the college
in her laboratories, and in the small
and intimate groups where the letters
and the social sciences are taught,
strives above all to give. Not that
the teaching of subjects for them-
selves, the imparting of definite and
specialized knowledge for particular
ends, suffers by this; for it is recog-
nized that healthy minds must have
full diet as well as exercise. Are
minds more fully exercised and fed
outside the college or within?
As for the healthy body, the offer-
ings of the college are more manifest.
Compulsory and regular exercise in
the form, as far as may be, of games
that builel up character and muscle
simultaneously, games taught by ex-
perts and adapted to the make-up of
the man, games for which the gen-
erosity of others has supplied gym-
nasium, athletic building, field and
court and rink, this is the college of-
fering. Is it surpassed outside ? And
even yet the list of college benefits
is not half told. Pleasure and even
profit may come in after life even
from the little training that college
"activities," musical, dramatic, debat-
ing or literary, may give. But pleas-
ure and profit both can scarcely fail
to come from four years' comrade-
ship with men who, while of all the
types that most of us will encounter
in a life's career, are yet with few
exceptions of one type in the honesty,
the fairness and the democratic open-
heartedness of the "college man." Is
such comradeship at the most forma-
tive period of life worth while, or
does a boy find better in the old home
town ?

How The Women Have
Transformed Oxford
The following article by Robert P.
Coffin '15, which appeared recently in
the "American Oxonian," was copied
in the "Boston Transcript:"
The most impressive and striking
thing about Oxford this term are the
women students. Of course, there
have been women students at the uni-
versity for some years, but now they
seem a part of the place by virtue of
their academic regalia. Yesterday's
ladies of learning were hardly dis-
_ tinguishable from their city sisters;
but that was when they were still
parasites in the masculine eyes of
university authorities. Today they
have taken the habit that goes with
their entrance upon all the privileges
of members of the University of Ox-
ford. Some artist soul surely has de-
signed the cap that so becomes them.
After lengthy and weighty deliber-
ations upon this matter of the new
headgear, ruling powers have had the
inspiration to revert to the late Mid-
tile Ages, rather than to the sixteenth
century as in the case of the Mortar-
board, for a design most flexible and
most ornamental. The cap is four-
cornered, but, being of soft material,
it is capable of folds and sags that
suit and set off the individual who
wears it. There are no two alike;
some are tipped skyward at Neo-
Platonic angles, some turn eastward
and give a touch of natural grace be-
coming in the younger wearers of
the cap. Some are severely bristling
with the owners' angular knowledge
(or is it their coiffure?), others droop
with sheer femininity. Of course, the
gowns are those of the other mem-
bers of the University, graduate or
undergraduate; but they are worn
with a cap, and this makes all the
difference in the world. The women,
naturally more thoughtful about mat-
ters of becoming clothes, take to the
dress, and there is none of the non-
chalant negligence and revulsion
common among the men in regard to
the gown. They like to wear it, and
do, even to the reductio ad absurdum
hat recently has been commented
:pon by bicycling hockeywards in it.
jjrtainly, they will never stoop to
sing it as a firescreen to kindle their
1 dging fires as male wearers of it
ave been known to do befoie now.
t'he rule of wearing dark clothes with
the cap and gown has so far been
pretty generally observed and incon-
gruity in this direction happily
avoided. What warm spring days
may bring we can leave to the future.
In spite of masculine tirades against
the admission of women into full
membership in the university and of
Jeremiah-like prophecies of evil days
to come when Oxford will be all
women and when men must go to
Cambridge for higher education (the
blight has not fallen there yet, they
say), there can be no denying that the
university halls and the city have
gained much in picturesqueness.
Charming Portias are seen every-
where and Mediaeval atmosphere is
the thicker along the High. Mindful
of Irish matters, the male under-
graduates have applied to the women
the epithet "Black-and-Tams."

Joseph William Hewitt, Ph.D., Pro-
fessor of Classics, Wesleyan Univer-
sity, was born in Armsley (Leeds)
England, on August 23, 1875. He
came to America with his parents in
1885, and entered Bowdoin from the
Deering High School in 1893. In col-
lege he was a member of Kappa
Sigma, and at graduation he was
elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Dr.
Hewitt graduated with the Class of
1897, and was the Class Day Poet.
The year following his graduation he
was Assistant in Latin and Greek at
Bowdoin, and then passed one year as
Principal of the High School at Han-
over, New Hampshire. He received
the degree of A.M. from Bowdoin in
1899, and that fall entered Harvard
and passed three years there in gradu-
ate study in classical philology, re-
ceiving the degree of A.M. in 1900 and
that of Ph.D. in 1902.
Dr. Hewitt was Instructor in Latin
at Worcester Academy in 1902-03, and
Master in Latin 1903-05. In 1905 he
was called to Wesleyan, and was As-
sociate Professor of Greek and Latin
there until 1913 since which time he
has been Professor of Classics.
It is hard to describe Dr. Hewitt's
activities at Wesleyan and to tell of
his usefulness. He has at all times
taken a deep and intelligent interest
in all of the college activities, and
BOWDOIN ORIENT

has been particularly useful in the
solution of the problems which relate
to college discipline and the relations
of the students to the faculty and to
each other. Perhaps the estimation
in which he is held by his associates
can best be described by the words of
CLASS OF 1898.

and friend indeed of many a one
of us, do we, the students of
Wesleyan, dedicate this volume,
hoping thereby to express in
some small measure our appre-
■ ciation of his tireless service of
our beloved college."
Dr. Hewitt was married in June,
1903, to Miss Evelyn S. Clark, of
Portland, Maine, and they have one
daughter, Dorothy Carleton, born Oc-
tober 16, 1905. They reside at 31
College place, Middletown, Conn. He

How is a Wireless
Message Received?
EVERY incandescent lamp has a filament. Mount a metal
plate on a wire in the lamp near the filament. A current
f leaps the space between the filament and the plate when
the filament glows.
Edison first observed this phenomenon in 1883. Hence it was
called the "Edison effect."
Scientists long studied the "effect" but they could not explain
it satisfactorily. Now, after years of experimenting with Crookes
tubes, X-ray tubes and radium, it is known that the current that
leaps across is a stream of "electrons" — exceedingly minute par-
ticles negatively charged with electricity.
These electrons play an important part in wireless communica-
tion. When a wire grid is interposed between the filament and the
plate and charged positively, the plate is aided in drawing electrons
across; but when the grid is charged negatively it drives back the
electrons. A very small charge applied to the grid, as small as that
received from a feeble wireless wave, is enough to vary the electron
stream.
So the grid in the tube enables a faint wireless impulse to control
the very much greater amount of energy in the flow of electrons,
and so radio signals too weak to be perceived by^ other means be-
come perceptible by the effects that they produce. Just as the
movement of a throttle controls a great locomotive in motion, so
a wireless wave, by means of the grid, affects the powerful electron
stream.
All this followed from studying the mysterious "Edison effect" —
a purely scientific discovery.
No one can foresee what results will follow from research in pure
science. Sooner or later the world must benefit practically from the
discovery of new facts.
For this reason the Research Laboratories of the General Electric
Company are concerned as much with investigations in pure science
as they are with the improvement of industrial processes and prod-
ucts. They, too, have studied the "Edison effect" scientifically.
The result has been a new form of electron tube, known as the
"pliotron", a type of X-ray tube free from the vagaries of the old
tube; and the "kenetron", which is called by electrical engineers a
"rectifier" because it has the property of changing an alternating
into a direct current.
All these improvements followed because the Research Labora-
tories try to discover the "how" of things. Pure science always
justifies itself.

Nine game were played last week

leagues. Coach Magee is well satis-

of the games are being played. In
the majority of cases the playing is

Beginning this week Coach Magee
plans to have the games refereed by
captains of teams instead of by him-
self on account of his work in track.
In this way he hopes to give the
players, through their captains, a bet-
ter knowledge of the rules.
Thirteen games have been played
since the season began, and it is

BOWDOIN ORIENT

Week End Activities
(Continued from page 373)
Student Council, was the first
speaker of the evening. President
Sills and Alexander Thomson '21, cap-
tain of track, also addressed the visit-
ors and students.
Speeches by President Sills,
Young '21 and Thomson '21
President Sills told the preparatory
school men a few of the many ad-
vantages which Bowdoin offers, the
attitude of the students toward the
officers of the college, the harmony
between them and the interest of the
students in outside activities as well
as courses.
Young '21 spoke on the Bowdoin
spirit, which he defined as "something
to live for, to cherish, to love, to fight
for, and if need be, — to die for." He
mentioned a little of his own experi-
ence at Bowdoin, stating that he had
come here from Texas, and that he
would never regret his choice of col-
lege, like any man who has stayed
here more than one semester.
Thomson '21 discussed the student
activities more in detail, and also
pointed out the means of financial aid
which the college offers to students.
He emphasized the value of athletics,
as the best activity for a man to enter
into. He alluded to the uselessness of
a student who is a mere "grind" and
nothing else.
The main part of the evening's en-
tertainment was furnished by the fra-
ternity vaudeville acts and by the
Musical Clubs. The program was so
arranged that the three speeches were
separated by the skits and the Musical
Club numbers. Young's speech was
directly after an opening selection by
the Banjo-Mandolin Club.
Vaudeville Numbers
The first act was given by Delta
Upsilon: "The Delta U. Jazz (?)
Boys." The skit was performed by
Lyseth '21, H. Nixon '21, Ryder '21,
Ball '22, Congdon '22, T. Nixon '22,
Sullivan '23, Whitman '23. Several
popular pieces were played and sung,
with numerous "asides" which were ef-
fective.
After President Sills's talk, Alpha
Delta Phi presented "Professor Pana-
giotti (A. H. Merrill '24) and his
pachyderm-quadruped." After Mer-
rill had completed his act with more
or less oratorical effect, he dismissed
his elephant, which suddenly broke up
into its elemental units (Hunt '23 and
Palmer '23) and disappeared in op-
posite directions.
"The Beta Bum-Bards" (Beta
Theta Pi), ably led by H. A. Small
'24, performed the third act of the
progiam. A trio consisting of L. M.
Butler '22, H. V. Davis '23, and F. K.
Turgeon '23, was augmented at the
beginning of the act by Small who
came through the audience to the
stage, shouting out a number of clever
remarks on the way.
Psi Upsilon offered a humorous dia-
logue, "The Copper and the Nurse, or,
Five Minutes off Duty." Quinby '23
played the policeman, and Redman '21,
well known for his work in feminine
roles in the Masque and Gown, took
the part of the girl.
After another number by the Banjo-
Mandolin Club, R. T. Phillips '24
(Kappa Sigma) effectively declaimed
the poem of "Casey at the Bat."
Reiber '21 and Ranney '24, in
tropical garb and appearance, ex-
changed a series, of amusing quips in
the Sigma Nu skit, which was en-
titled the "Burnt-Net Twins."
J. A. Black '23, as "Rosalie Xavier
in Opera a la Zeta Psi," drew forth
round after round of applause from
the audience. D. J. Eames '23, at
the piano, and J. E. Mitchell '23, with
the violin, helped to a great extent
to make the musical numbers of this
trio an unusual success.
"Phony Phaculty Photos," pre-
sented by Theta Delta Chi, consisted
of the drawing of several cartoons by
Klees '24, accompanied in each case
by comments and brief witty jingles
spoken by Bartlett '22. President
Sills, Professor Cram, Professor
Meserve, Mr. Lewis, and Coach Jack
Magee were the five who were char-
acterized in this manner.
The vaudeville acts were closed with
an excellent minstrel show given by
Delta Kappa Epsilon. This was per-
formed by Ridlon '21 (interlocutor),
Cook '21 and Savage '24 (ends),
Brewer '22 (piano), Standish '21,
White '22, Ferris '22, Mason '23, L. I.
McLellan '23, Baldwin '24, and Ross
'24.
After this last act, Thomson '21
gave his speech, and then the meet-
ing ended with the singing of "Bow-
doin Beata."
Saturday Events
Saturday morning the guests of the
college visited classes (all of which
were open), conferences, laboratories,
and buildings on the campus not con-
nected directly with the management
of courses. Experiments were per-
formed in the laboratories of the de-
partments of chemistry, physics,
biology, and psychology. Conference
groups were held in history, eco-
nomics, government, and philosophy.
In the afternoon there was indoor
baseball practice in the Hyde Athletic
Building, and also relay races. One
of the fraternity basketball games
was played during the latter part of
the afternoon.
In the evening the college observa-
tory was open to the visitors. Enter-
tainments were provided at the fra-
ternity houses except during the
hockey game, in which Bowdoin de-
feated the St. Dominique team of
Lewiston.
Bowdoin 4, St. Dominique 1.
Bowdoin's clash with Saint Domini-
que on the Delta rink resulted in a
four to one victory for the White.
The Lewiston puck chasers were fast,
and strong defensive players, but they
seemed to lack an eye for straight
shooting. Miguel at the Bowdoin goal
for two periods had little to do, but
when the puck came his way he was
always ready for any trick that the
visitors might attempt. Provost had
his usual speed but with the whole in-
vading team upon him whenever he
started one of his long dashes down
the rink, he had little opportunity to
get within striking distance of the
goal.
Whitman was in everything and
succeeded in caging one of the four
Bowdoin tallies. Morrell, Provost and
Holmes accounted for the other three.
When Palmer broke his skate, he was
relieved by Preston Putnam who got
in some speedy work. The passing
and covering up of the team was a
promise of greater success for our
hitherto ill-starred seven. The sur-
face of the rink was hard and smooth
but shell ice along the edges and in
one spot in the middle of the rect-

angle was the cause of more or less
difficulty in play.
Saint Dominique was represented
by a well balanced team whose in-
dividual stars were Simpson and
Forgue.

Referee — Leon Leighton '19, Portland C. C.
There is no doubt that the entire
affair of the two days has been highly
successful, and all the more so upon
consideration of the fact that this is
the first time that Bowdoin has at-
tempted an undertaking of this na-
ture. Professor Bell, as chairman of
the committee in charge, deserves
great praise for the success of the
entertainment. The other members of
this committee, P. H. Eames '21, and
S. C. Buker '21, are also entitled to
a large share of the credit in the
management of the various events.
The interest that the boys from the
schools manifested, not only in the
athletics and in the vaudeville, but
also in the more scholarly aspects of
the college, is a cause for much satis-
faction. Many showed decided in-
terests in the classes, in the art col-
lections, and in the different buildings.
The general success of the enter-
tainment, coupled with the genuine in-
terest of the boys, indicates that such
a week-end may well be repeated in
another year with every prospect of a
similar success.
INDOOR MEET
(Continued from page 373)
possession of the cup for one year,
after which it will pass to the second
winner of the event. After it has been
won four times, it is to be placed in
the trophy room of the Gymnasium
(with the name of each winner en-
graved upon it). Arrangements re-
garding the cups have been made
largely at the suggestion of Coach
Magee.
Cups have been given by the record
holders wherever feasible, but in some
cases, for example, when one man
holds two records, or is still in col-
lege, the cups are offered by other
men who have been prominent ' in
Bowdoin track.
For the forty-yard dash the cup is
being offered by Archie 0. Dostie '20
(Chi Psi), who is one of the five men
who are tied for the record (4 3-5 sec-
onds) in this event. The Dostie cup
is being given by him as he has been
a captain of track. The other record
holders are H. H. Sampson '17 (Beta
Theta Pi), D. W. Pierce '17 (Beta
Theta Pi), Roderick Pirnie ex-'18
(Delta Upsilon), and George S.
Nevens ex-'18 (Zeta Psi). Sampson
was also captain of track, but as the
record holder in the pole vault, he
has offered the cup for that event.
His record is 11 ft., 2 1-4 in.
W. A. Savage '18 (Delta Kappa
Epsilon) holds the record in both
hurdle events, 5 2-5 seconds in the low
hurdles, and 6 seconds (equalling the
world's record) in the high hurdles.
He is offering the Savage cup for the
low hurdle event while Donald S.
Higgins '19 (Alpha Delta Phi) is giv-
ing the cup for the high hurdle race.
Higgins has the next best time to
that of Savage in his event.
The Ireland cup for the 440 is be-
ing presented by William D. Ireland
'16 (Beta Theta Pi), in place of M. H.
Smith '20 (Kappa Sigma), who holds
the record at 54 4-5 seconds.
R. E. Cleaves '20 (Alpha Delta Phi)
has offered the cup for the half-mile,
as a former captain, instead of G. R.
Goodwin '21 (Kappa Sigma) who is
now in college. Goodwin's time is 2
minutes, 6 seconds.
Clarence H. Crosby '17 (Delta
Kappa Epsilon), who holds the mile
record with a mark of 4 minutes 42
3-5 seconds, has given a cup in
nemory of Benjamin P. Bradford '17
(Delta Kappa Epsilon), a former
baseball and football player who lost
his life in the war. Bradford was
captain of baseball in 1917.
The White cup is being offered for
the high jump. Hal S. White '17
(Alpha Delta Phi) holds the record
in this event with a height of five
feet nine. Since graduation he has
made a name for himself at Oxford
University by winning his "Blue" in
track.
The broad jump cup is given by P.
S. Smith '15 (Alpha Delta Phi), who
holds the record with a distance of
twenty-one feet six and a half inches.
The three cups in the weight events
are being given by J. B. Moulton '16
(Beta Theta Pi), G. W. Leadbetter '16
(Beta Theta Pi), and H. A. Lewis '15
(Beta Theta Pi). Moulton holds a
record of 121.58 feet in the discus,
and Leadbetter holds the record in
both shot and hammer. His mark in
the shot is 41.28 feet and 155.17 feet
in the hammer. Lewis, who was cap-
tain of football as well as being promi-
nent in track, is giving the cup for the
shot-put event.
Another interesting feature of the
meet will be the uniforms worn by
the representatives from the different
fraternities. These uniforms are to
have the fraternity colors and also
the Greek letters, so that there will
be no difficulty in distinguishing the
various contestants.
Any man in college is entitled to
compete provided he will have had
three weeks of training beforehand.
Informal trials are being held for the
various fraternity relay teams.
Captains of fraternity teams are to
make arrangements with Coach Magee
regarding the time when the trials
take place.
A number of alumni are expected
to come back for the meet, among
them some of those who are offering
the cups. There will unquestionably
be some splendid competition, and
the meet will probably be one of the
best in years.
Dr. Copeland '06
To Address Forum
Next Tuesday evening (March 1),
Dr. Melvin T. Copeland '06, professor
of marketing in the Harvard Gradu-
ate School of Business Administra-
tion, is to speak in Memorial Hall on
"Business Research." This lecture,
which has been arranged by the col-
lege forum, ought to be of interest to
all undergraduates, especially to the
large number who are taking courses
in Economics.

SUNDAY CHAPEL
Chapel services last Sunday were
conducted by Rev. Dr. Albert Parker
Fitch of Amherst College. Taking
Matthew 10-39 as his text Dr. Fitch
developed the distinction, which most
of us so easily overlook, between
"having" and "being." Possessions
of every kind — gold, knowledge, skill
— are good only in so far as the
possessor himself is large enough,
great enough in scul to master
them, to make them his servants;
otherwise these possessions inevitably
master the owner, deaden his soul,
lead him to slavery and destruction
The free man is the man of person-
ality, of large and generous soul, to
whom possessions are always a
means, never an end in themselves.
To get a clear perception of this dis-
tinction, and in general to keep his
sense of values true, is one of the
chief duties of the college man.
Dr. Fitch presented his theme ad-
mirably and with a great wealth of
pertinent illustration. His presence
here always marks an event in the
lives of Bowdoin men and it is to be
hoped that we may be permitted to
hear him often in the future.

Dr. MacMillan intends to circum-

western coast, a thousand miles in
length, and the longest stretch of un-
known coast line in the world. Dr.
MacMillan will cruise along the Maine
coast during May and June and then,
with a party of six men, will depait
from Boston about July 1st to the
frozen North. If the weather is favor-
able the "Bowdoin" will reach Fury
and Hecla Strait in September, where
the ship will be frozen in. From there
the party will push forward on a two-
hundred mile trip on sleds drawn by
dogs. One of the main objects of the
trip is to establish a camp 700 miles
south of Etah in the northwestern
part of Greenland.
MacMILLAN'S SHIP
ALMOST FINISHED
The work on the hull of the "Bow-
doin" is rapidly nearing completion.
The "Bowdoin" is the ship in which
Donald B. MacMillan '98, the well-
known Arctic explorer, will make an-
other voyage into the Arctic regions.
The launching will take place early

The First "Quill" Board
The "Quill," the medium for the
literary expression of the students of
the college, was founded early in the
year of 1898. In looking back upon
the foundation of the "Quill," it is an
interesting and perhaps significant
fact that all the members of the
original "Quill" board, and those mem-
bers were, of course, the founders,
have been very successful in their
work after graduating from Bowdoin.
The members of the first "Quill"
board were: Percival Proctor Baxter
'98, William Witherle Lawrence 'S8,
Thomas Littlefield Marble '98, Frank
Herbert Swan '98, Roy Leon Marston
'99, and Stephen Emerson Young '98.
Mr. Baxter, now the Governor of
Maine, was the chairman of the
board. Besides being the chairman
of the "Quill" board, Mr. Baxter was
the editor-in-chief of the "Orient." He
was unusually prominent as a student
here at Bowdoin. Not only was he
prominent on the campus, but he was
also a brilliant scholar, winning sev-
eral prizes and exhibiting a decided
ability in declamation. He was elected
class orator in his Senior year. He
took a post-graduate course at Har-
vard and there received the degree
of LL.B. in 1901. Thereupon he re-
turned to Portland where he practiced
law. He soon became engaged in
politics and in 1905 was elected to

The New Fraternity.
The "Orient" takes pleasure in wel-
coming to the Bowdoin campus the
eleventh of the Greek-letter societies,
known as the Phi Delta Psi. The so-
cial life at Bowdoin, fostered by her
fraternities, has long been one of the
most desirable and attractive features
of our college life. The new organiza-
tion will still further make good, we
hope, Bowdoin's boasted democracy
by extending the privileges of assem-
bly and good fellowship to those out-
side of the existent groups.
To many it may appear that the
present size of the institution does
not permit the organization of an ad-
ditional body. The ten national fra-
ternities already on the campus, it is
alleged, feel even at present the pres-
sure cf competition. Sooner or later,
it is feared, one of them will be forced
out of existence, if rival groups make
their appearance.
In spite of certain restrictions
upon its activities the society can
no doubt maintain a healthy and
worthwhile existence. Since the
burning of the Union, non-fra-
ternity men have had no rec-
reational or social rooms whatsoever.
This is hardly fair to these men, for
the members of fraternities, although
they enjoyed the use of the Union as
a convenience or diversion, did not
feel its loss so keenly in view of the
social and recreational advantages of
their chapter houses. It is only
natural and right that the non-fra-
ternity men should desire to have a
gathering place in which they may
have the opportunity to hold meet-
ings, conduct dances, and, in general,
entertain themselves and their friends.
It is understood that such a house is
to be secured and utilized.
We extend our hearty congratula-
tions and best wishes to the members
of Phi Delta Psi. We wish their or-
ganization the best of luck for this
and future years.
Peary's grandson, Peary Stafford,
of Washington, D. C, aged seven
months, has already been registered
for the class of 1942.

Portland C. C. Wins
Again From Bowdoin
Bowdoin's second meeting with the
Portland Country Club puck chasers
showed that the home team has im-
proved somewhat since the last en-
counter. Although the invaders
caged five tallies to nothing and kept
the action around the Bowdoin goal
most of the time, Bowdoin's defensive
work was much improved and the of-
fensive showed team work and in-
dividual skill.
Gunn of the visiting team was in
every play and received much com-
ment from the spectators. The game
was for the most part fast and clean,
but a tendency towards "rough-
ing it up a bit" caused the
suspension for five minutes of
a man from each team. Provost
and Palmer, along with Miguel at
goal, starred for the home team while
the best performers for the P. C. C.
septet were Hall, Boyd, and Gunn.

Hall was responsible for three of the
five scores.
This was the first game played un-
der the arc lights and it proved very
successful. The ice was in fair con-
dition considering the extremely
warm weather of the previous day.
Professor Means acted as referee.

IN MEMORIAM
EDWARD BAGLEY MERRILL
The following verses have been
sent to the "Orient," in memory of
Edward Bagley Merrill '57, who died
last fall:
A philosopher in temperament,
He passed his years and days
In serenity and happiness
Through all Life's devious ways.
The love of Books and Nature
Filled his heart and mind;
His true love for all Humanity
Made him friends of many a kind.
With patience and with courage,
And a faithful, cheerful soul,
He passed beyond in peaceful, sleep
Unto the "Blessed Goal."

The First "Quill" Board
(Continued from page 377)
the legislature, and in 1909 to the
Maine Senate. From then up to the
present time Mr. Baxter has figured
prominently in Maine politics. This
year by the untimely death of Gov-
ernor Parkhurst he became the Gov-
ernor of the State. It is an inter-
esting fact that in his Senior year,
Governor Baxter roomed with Presi-
dent Sills (then a Freshman) in
South Appleton.
William W. Lawrence, another
member of this "Quill" board, is now
professor of English at Columbia Uni-
versity. When a student at Bowdoin,
Professor Lawrence was the Ivy
orator and the editor-in-chief of the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
381
"Bugle." He studied in the gradu
ate school at Harvard after gradu
ating from Bowdoin, and was given
the degree of A. M. in 1900, and of
Ph.D. in 1S03 by that university. He
taught at Harvard and the University
of Kansas for a few years, but in
1907 went to Columbia and in 1916
was appointed professor of English.
Thomas L. Marble, who in 1897
was the Ivy Day poet, likewise at-
tended Harvard after his graduation,
and there in 1904 received the de-
gree of LL.B. Mr. Marble has prac-
ticed law since 1904 and at the pres-
ent time is an associate justice of the
Superior Court of New Hampshire.
Frank H. Swan, after graduating
from Bowdoin, took a special course
in law at Boston University, and has
practiced law since he completed this
course. At the present time he is
the senior member of a Providence
law firm specializing in corporation
law and trials. He is also a director
of various banking corporations, and
during the last two years has been
receiver of the Rhode Island Electric
Company.
Roy L. Marston was the only mem-
ber of the class of 1899 who was on
the first board. During his four-
years at college he became both
editor-in-chief of the "Orient" and
chairman of the "Quill" board. Mr.
Marston took a graduate course in
forestry at Yale, and taught that sub-
ject there from 1903 until 1906. He
was soon after appointed forester of
the United States Military Academy
at West Point. In 1906 he went into
business in timber lands, and since
that time has been a lecturer on
forestry, a member of the Tariff
Board, a member of the Maine legis-
lature, and is the author of various
technical articles on forestry and
timberland subjects.
Stephen E. Young took a graduate
course at Harvard after leaving Bow-
doin and since 1902 has been a lawyer
in Boston. He is now a member of
the firm of Pillsbury, Dana & Young.
All the members of this board are
still living and they have all been
eminently successful in their careers.
The "Quill" too has flourished and is
still existing, and thus their fears ex-
pressed in the first number of the
"Quill" (January 15, 1898), that
it might have but a short career like
that of its early predecessor of 1826,
the "Escritoir," have not yet been
justified.
The "Orient" in the early days of
the "Quill" reviewed it just as it does
today. The opinion of the "Orient"
towards the first number of the
"Quill" was:
"The quality of the literary work,
while representing the best talent in
college, is not of the highest order
possible."
However two months later it ad-
mitted that the "Quill" had "stimu-
lated such an interest in literary work,
as the college had not seen for a long
time."

man of the "Memorial Commission for
the Massachusetts Dead" in a lengthy
communication to the Boston "Trans-

1915— Rev. John Wesley Threlfall
■was born in Shaw Mitts, England,
July 6, 1889. He came to America in
1910 and studied at Bangor Theologi-
cal Seminary, graduating in 1913.
While there he held a pastorate at
Falmouth, Maine. Coming to Cam-
bridge, he matriculated in Harvard
Law School, receiving his degree in
1919. During this time he held a
pastorate in Edgartown, Southboro
and South Sudbury, Mass. Somewhat
broken in health, he decided to go
West, and accepted a call to St. John's
Congregational Church, Portland, Ore-
gon, last spring. His family followed
a little later. The work was opening
up splendidly and he already gained
for himself a large place in the hearts
of the people, when he was stricken
with acute apepndicitis and died Janu-
ary 15, 1921. In his going the world
loses a sterling man of many rare and
winsome traits, and the church, a
young leader of brilliant promise. —

Mr. R. A. Lasley of Yale University wrote us, after
finishing his summer's work, as follows: — "I wish to ex-
press my satisfaction and appreciation to the National
Map Company for the opportunities they have given me
during both summers of 1919 and 1920. During this last
summer my gross commission for three months was slight-
ly over $2,400.00; and my first summer it was nearly $1,-
400.00. I consider that the company has always been
square with me and their co-operation has always been
hearty and effective. I recommend this work to any man
who wishes to crowd a year's work into three months in
consideration of a year's pay. The experience gained is
worth much."

SOPHOMORE HOP
AND HOUSE PARTIES
Last Friday evening the annual
Sophomore Hop was held in the Gym-
nasium. The dance v._as attended by
over a hundred and fifty couples, and
was a very successful occasion. For
the first time the orchestra was
placed in the middle of the hall in-
stead of in one of the corners on the
side next to the athletic building.
The music was furnished by Loew's
orchestra of Boston. The ushers were
R. D. Hanscom '23, E. W. Hunt '23,
and H. C. Webb '23.
The patronesses at the dance were
the wives of members of the faculty.
The committee in charge consisted of
Stephen Palmer '23 (chairman), J. A.
Black '23, F. B. Hill '23, W. B. Jacob
'23, and V. S. Whitman '23.
Some of the fraternities held
dances Thursday evening and others
had informal dances Saturday. Fol-
lowing is a summary of each of the
fraternity parties:
Psi Upsilon
The Kappa Chapter of Psi Upsilon
held a fraternity dance at the chapter
house the evening before the Sopho-

The patronesses were Mrs. Charles

Ibis Meeting
The Ibis Senior Society met at the

evening. Haines '21 read a paper on

the club were present, and there was
interesting discussion after the essay
of the evening was read.
Appearance of Bowdoin's
New Publication
Last Thursday the first copies of
Bowdoin's new humorous magazine
made their appearance on the
campus. The Bowdoin "Bear Skin"
was enthusiastically received, and the
editors were given credit for publish-
ing a paper which ranks well with
similar publications in the other col-
leges of the country. In view of
the limitations of undergraduate
humor and the dearth of subjects from
which it is drawn, it is especially
creditable to the initial number that
its contents have called forth such
general praise from faculty, students,
and our week-end visitors.
The drawings particularly aroused
favorable comment on all sides, and
the jokes and other material were
given much commendation. The edi-

Nominations for
"Orient" Editors
At a meeting of the "Orient" board
Monday noon, nominations were made
for the editor-in-chief and managing
editor of the next volume of the
"Orient." The nominees to be voted
on by the student body are: Edward
B. Ham '22 and William R. Ludden
'22 for editor-in-chief; and George H.
Quinby '23 and F. King Turgeon '23

decided to hold a meeting of the board
on Wednesday, March 9 (in the Pub-
l'shing Company's office at 1.00 p. m.),
' o elect the new members of the board
from the class of 1924. Four men will
be elected at this time, and a fifth
will be added in June. There are
seven candidates whose names will be
considered: Glen Chamberlain, George
T. Davis, Irvine W. Jardine, Fredric

Rowe, P. Dennison Smith.
Bowdoin Wins
Brilliant Victory From
Ripon Debaters
Bowdoin defeated Ripon College
(Wisconsin) in debate Tuesday eve-
ning, February 22, in Memorial Hall,
by a two to one decision. The de-
bate was a direct clash on the vital
principle of the immigration question.
In this respect it was a highly satis-
factory contrast to the quibble over
statistics in the debate with Dart-
mouth. This victory is an especial
success for Bowdoin since Ripon has
won several debates in the West, and
had won all the debates on its East-
ern trip previous to meeting Bow-
doin. On this trip Ripon had defeated
Northwestern University, Illinois;
Westminster College, Pennsylvania;
and Union College.
The Ripon team upheld the negative
of the question, "Resolved, That Eu-
ropean immigration should be further
restricted." The visiting team was
composed of J. Harold Bumby, Arthur
H. Filby, Paul G. Rodewald, and Bruno
E. Jacob as manager. It is interest-
ing to note that this team was
coached by Professor H. P. Boody,
Bowdoin, 1906. Bowdoin's team, which

STATE TRACK MEET
AT BRUNSWICK
Place Changed by Association at An-
nual Meeting — McGorrill '22
Elected President.
At the 26th annual meeting of the
Maine Intercollegiate Association,
held at the Elmwood Hotel in Water-
ville last Saturday, it was decided to
hold the Maine State Track Meet at
Brunswick on May 14 instead of at
Colby, as previously planned. The
date is one week after the New Eng-
land meet, but this arrangement is
to be carried out this year only, and
hereafter the association will go back
to the old plan of having the Maine
meet first.
At the beginning of the meeting the
following officers were elected for the
season: President, Virgil C. McGor-
rill, Bowdoin; first vice-president,
Herbert W. Fifield, Maine; second
vice-president, Maurice Dean, Bates;
secretary, Thomas G. Grace, Colby.
There was discussion of a motion
which was proposed to make it possi-
ble for a man who transfers from his
first college to another and if during
that time he does not take part in
any athletic activities, to be eligible
to compete for his alma mater, in
case he decides to return to it at any
time after leaving the second college.
This motion was tabled until the
next meeting.
It was voted that the college bands,
including twenty pieces, shall in
future be admitted to State meets on
complimentary tickets. The meeting
closed with discussion of officials who
are to be chosen definitely at the next
meeting.
DEBATING VICTORY
(Continued from page 389)
supported the affirmative, consisted of
George B. Welch '22, Albert R.
Thayer '22, and Joseph L. Badger '21,
with Lloyd H. Hatch '21 as alternate.
The judges were Dr. Augustus E.
Thomas, State Superintendent of Pub-
lic Schools; Judge Joseph E. F. Con-
nolly of Portland; and Mr. Thomas E.
McDonald of Portland. President Sills
was the presiding officer.
The affirmative case was: Fir:t
that the United States is faced by
the real problem of an unprecedented
flow of immigration; and second, that
further restriction of European immi-
gration is necessary to the welfare
of the United States. Under the sec-
ond issue, the affirmative showed the
dangers to the social, political and
economic institutions of this countiy
The negative case was: First, that
the present restrictions are sufficient
to safeguard us against any incoming
tide of immigrants, if such a problem
really exists; second, that a continu-
ation of immigration without further
restriction is necessary to the indus-
trial progress of the United States;
and third, that immigration is not
dangerous to the social well-being of
our country.
Thursday evening Ripon debated
Dartmouth at Hanover and lost.
Through some misunderstanding there
was only one judge for the debate,
and consequently there was more or
less doubt as to the validity of the
result. Dartmouth defeated Bowdoin,
to be sure, but our victory over the
champions of the West seems to
render Bowdoin's defeat from the
Dartmouth team even harder to ex-
plain now than before the White's
meeting with Ripon.

The "Orient" extends a most cordial
welcome to our new publication in be-
half of the college, and wishes it
every success in future issues. The
Sophomore Hop number, as the first
issue, has surely measured up to all
expectations, and is certainly a
promise of a periodical which will
satisfy Bowdoin standards of ac-
complishment in the future.
Inter-Fraternity Basketball
Last week only one of the six
scheduled games in the basketball
Uagues was played. In this game
Beta Theta Pi defeated Delta Upsilon
by a score of 21 to 14.
A revision of the standings as
printed last week is necessary owing
to the fact that Delta Kappa Epsilcn

of February 19, contrary to the result
stated in the last issue.

Springfield Defeats
Bowdoin in Hockey
Bowdoin's encounter with the
Springfield Y. M. C. A. puck chasers
was ill fated. Although the home
septet started the play with a strong,
and at times flashy, aggressive which
brought the first period to a close
with the score one to nothing in favor
of Bowdoin, the second period was
hardly under way before Fink of the
visiting team had caged a neat slash-
ing shot at the corner of the goal.
Noren followed his team-mate almost
immediately with a sizzler in prac-
tically the same groove. Each of
these visitors scored another goal
before the period ended. The Spring-
field team was not as fast as the ice
artists from Portland but it showed
BOWDOIN ORIENT
391
evidence of good training and made
much of teamwork.
Shell ice around the edge of the
rink caused some difficulty but it
could not be blamed for the difficulty
which Bowdoin frequently had in
keeping alongside the play. Al Mor-
rell had a rather bad spill near the
goal which came near putting him
out of the game but he finished strong
breaking up more than one goalward
dash of the enemy. Whitman and
Provost were as usual the center of
attraction but the Springfield goal
tender was too much for the frequent
speedy attempts which must go by a
less capable man. The game was
shorter than usual, lasting only two
fifteen minute periods.

Bowdoin Loses Again
To Bates, 2-0
Bates white-washed Bowdoin's
hockey seven at Lewiston last Tues-
day. There was considerable rough
playing throughout the game, several
men being put out of the game when
there was apparently no cause for
calling any foul. Morrell's clever de-
fensive work was in evidence through-
out the game. Cogan of Bates was
the individual star of the game, his
shots accounting for both his team's
points.
A preliminary game was part of
the program. The Bates Freshmen
defeated Hebron Academy 4 to 1.

SUNDAY CHAPEL
One of the most moving recitals of
the war's ravages was the address in
chapel last Sunday by Dr. Rosalie S.
Morton, who spoke on Serbia's brave
share in defending two fronts with-
out assistance, the devastation of her
resources, and the extreme wretched-
ness of her soldiers, whom the speaker
worked with in hospitals, poorly sup-
plied with the barest necessities.
Dr. Morton, who has received many
decorations, described vividly the
scene of her work on the Salonica
front and pleaded for help for a na-
tion whose spirited defense met with
so little recognition from its allies.
She is now undertaking to educate in
American colleges fifty young Serbian
men and women. These students will
return to Serbia to take practical part
in reconstruction and it is to meet the
expense of their education that Dr.
Morton is asking help from our own
number as from other institutions.
The Student Council was asked by
President Sills to take the matter un-
der consideration. Surely Bowdoin
can be depended upon to identify it-
self with a work so deeply appealing.
The February "Quill"
The impressions end reflections that
follow, concerning the February
"Quill," are those of a layman in
literary matters, and offered frankly
as such. Of course he feels sure of
general tolerance for his opinions,
however unacceptable, by this ac-
knowledgment.
The various pieces of verse — three
of them — deserve first comment. They
are all characterized by a significant
theme and by progress and contrast
in development. This is high praise.
"Christmas," by Jere Abbott '20, in
free verse, having set itself the least
confining prescription, has succeeded
best. It admirably combines sim-
plicity, even bold realism, of state-
ment with large emotional effect. One
ends the reading with a little catch in
the breath.
The Rickard Prize Poem, called
"Mother Croon," by Robert Morse, is
good enough to have deserved more
careful treatment from its author.
The memory of Forbes Rickard de-
mands it. One is harassed by the
minor near-rhymes that divide so
many of the lines. Evidently they
are not intended as a minor sequence
within the major rhyme-scheme, yet
the ear cannot get away from the
suggestion.
"The Voyageur" (why make it
French?), by E. W. L. '22, has good
emotional quality. The emphasis on
loneliness is arresting. Its author
might have played up still more to
this, the real and excellent theme of
the verses, by a few obvious changes.
The workmanship is not careful
enough. Some lines sway and stumble
that might easily have mended their
gait. The lack of punctuation in the
last two lines invites an ambiguity
that seriously threatens the entire
emotional effect of the poem.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
393
"Absurdities I Have Met in Bow-
doin," entitled, to be sure, by its
author, Robert Morse, "A Dis-
tinguished Visitor," pokes real fun at
accepted features of student life and
environment. It has a relishing local
quality, occasionally so "local" that
the humor, if intended, is esoteric for
the reviewer. Why drag in by name
two Bowdoin students as attendants
to St. Peter? The author is here too
lavish or too sparing. However, one
hopes that this article and that of
Klees '24 in the January issue are
forerunners of a "Quill" series in
this vein — with a minimum, however,
of "cherubims."
The most extensive article is the
Class of '68 Prize Oration, entitled
"The Demands Upon College Gradu-
ates of 1921," by Hugh Nixon. It is
fluent in expression and correct in
sentiment and ideal.
The continued story, "A Case of
Espionage," by F. W. A. '21, which
makes its first appearance, is left to
the consideration of some later re-
viewer.
A final question on a general im-
pression made by the February
"Quill." Why do not the editors ex-
ercise more strictly their right to
criticize details of the manuscripts
they accept? Blemishes in language,
obvious faults in style, minor incom-
petencies in verse technique, ought
never to escape into print. The
lengthening list of editors shows a
staff large enough for this work. Is
it suffering a bit from "editorial
courtesy?"

States; and a third prize of five hun-
dred dollars open to high school stu-
dents.
An essay, to be considered for any
prize, must have not more than ten
thousand words, and must be on one
of the following subjects: (1) "The
part that money plays in economic
theory;" (2) "Causes of unemploy-
ment and remedies;" (3) "Conditions
which determine how much the con-
sumer gets for his dollar."
The judges will be Irving Fisher,
Professor of Economics, Yale Univer-
sity; Wesley C. Mitchell, Director of
the National Bureau of Economic Re-
search; and Wallace B. Donham, Dean
of the Harvard University Graduate
School of Business Administration.

contest may be obtained from Dr.
William T. Foster, Director of the
Pollak Foundation, Newton 58, Massa-
chusetts.
LEE PATTISON
TO GIVE CONCERT
Well Known Pianist Under Auspices
of Saturday Club at Memorial Hall
March 3 — Concert Open to Stu-
dents.
Tomorrow evening (Thursday,
March 3) there is to be a piano con-
cert in Memorial Hall by Lee Patti-
son, one of the most prominent of the
younger generation of American
pianists. This concert is being given
under the auspices of the Saturday
Club of Brunswick, and will be open
to all students.
Mr. Pattison's work has been very
favorably commented upon in the
"Boston Herald" and elsewhere. The
following brief sketch of him ap-
peared last week in the "Brunswick
Record:"
"Among the younger generation of
American pianists, Lee Pattison
stands out prominently, not only be-
cause of his broad artistry and
musicianship but also because of the
magnetic charm of his personality.
As a youth he came from the Middle
West to Boston for study. Subse-
quently he went to Europe, where he
lived and studied for the two years
just preceding the outbreak of the
World War. Returning to America he
became a member of the faculty of
the New England Conservatory of
Music. Soon after our declaration of
war he enlisted in the 303d Infantry,
and served thirteen months in France
— rising from the ranks to a lieu-
tenancy and after the armistice be-
came conductor of the District of
Paris Headquarters Band. Here he
came into close touch with the musi-
cal life of the French capital, and be-
came widely known for his extraor-
dinary pianism and fine musicianship.
"In America, Mr. Pattison's playing
has appealed to an ever-increasing
number of music lovers, both because
of its rare interpretive power as well
as its whimsical charm."
THE "BEAR-SKIN"
When the managing editor of the
"Orient" asked me to criticize the
"Bear-Skin" (Vol. I., No. 1), I won-
dered why it was I whom he selected
for this doubtful honour. Perhaps it
was because both of us were strang-
ers here, and were making our debuts
this semester at Bowdoin, and that
I would treat it gently for fear of re-
taliation on Ivy Day. I also wond-
ered whether he had noticed that of
the forty-five "exchanges" from other
contemporary collegiate humourous
sheets, only one was an excerpt from
the "Yale Record." Perhaps he
agreed with the editors of the "B.
S." that the "Record" was not a
humourous paper. In which case, my
doubts are confirmed.
The title is novel, to say the least.
The other evening I was dancing with
a "S. Y. T." who had the mistaken
notion that a dreamy waltz is the
time and place to make irrelevant ob-
servations and passed some remarks
apropos of our paper but failed to
spell it out. Which gave me a con-
siderable jar. I was relieved to see
Bowdoin Banners, — my trick memory
recalled the tithe collector in the
vestibule, and another awful social
crisis was safely passed. One shud-
ders to think of the number of
changes that will be rung on the
name. Yet the Peter part of St.
Peter was a pun.
Which reminds me that I overheard
a budding Ananias explaining to one
of the "S. Y. T." on the track that
the big dirt enclosure below was

OEOitorial
Payment of Blanket Tax.
There are still a large number of
students who have not yet paid their
blanket tax for the second semester.
There is no excuse for such delay,
especially this year when the college
activities are needing so much money
that an extra assessment will be
necessary. For further detail regard-
ing the specific reasons for more
funds, numerous facts are to be found
in the editorial on this subject in the
"Orient" for January 19.
A few things pointed out at that
time are as follows: "Track started
its season this fall under a heavy
burden. That department was under
a debt of approximately $600. . . .
The college went into hockey in tho-
rough fashion this year. A new rink
was built, an electric l:ghting system
was installed, and so forth. . . .
Considering now the money owed in
track, the salaries of coaches the in-
creased cost of athletic equipment,
the costs of transportation, etc., it is
clearly to be seen that money must
be realized, and more than can be ob-
tained by the present Blanket Tax
of $7.50 per man for each semester."
If an extra assessment is neces-
sary when a normal number of
blanket taxes are paid, just how are
the finances to be handled when an
unusually large number fail to pay
even the minimum $7.50?
Last semester 388 men loyally paid
their blanket tax, but as yet only about
200 have paid since mid-years. Numer-
ous extensions have been granted, to
be sure, but it is absolutely neces-
sary to have the money collected very
soon. Those men who have neither
paid nor obtained extensions should
immediately see someone who is in
charge of this, to let him know just
when it will be possible for them to
settle their accounts.
All these students who have not
paid, and especially Seniors who may
feel less responsibility in the matter
in their last term of college, should
manifest some loyalty, some spirit,
some interest in Bowdoin, by "coming
through" and doing their share to-
wards helping the activities of the
college out of their present financial
condition.
Maine Medical School.
The hearing at Augusta Wednes-
day on the establishment of a medi-
cal school under the auspices of the
State, was a distinct surprise to the
opponents of the plan. They had lit-
tle idea of the strong sentiment
which seems to prevail in favor of
some method for continuing this hun-
dred year old institution. When such
men as former Governor William T.
Cobb, President K. C. M. Sills of Bow-
doin College, Dr. John F. Thompson,
Dr. Addison S. Thayer of Portland
and others of equally high standing
declare their belief that the State
should conduct such a school provid-
ing it can be done within the amount
specified it shows that there is a genu-
ine feeling that we cannot dispense
with a medical college in Maine.
All of them were agreed that it
was worth $75,000 a year to the State
and these men who should know and
who have endeavored to ascertain be-
lieve that it can be done inside of
this figure. In their opinion Maine
does not require an elaborate medical
school with great opportunities for
research, that work can be carried on
by the larger institutions with their
great endowments. What Maine does
want is a medical college that can
turn out good every-day doctors, and
when specialists are desired then the
larger institutions outside of the
State can be patronized.
It is interesting to note in connec-
tion with a claim at the legislative
hearing that the Maine Medical
School was a "dead school," these
figures taken from a report for 1919
published in April, 1920. The total
number of graduates from all medi-
cal schools in the United States from
1915 to 1919 was 4,736. The total
number of students who failed to pass
was 676. The total percentage of
failures was 14.3. The graduates of
the Medical School of Maine in six
different states who took this exami-
nation numbered 25. Those who failed
to pass numbered 0. The percentage
of failures from the Maine institu-
tion also numbered 0. For a "dead
school" it strikes us this is rather a
good showing. It is a fact that if this
institution is allowed to pass into
oblivion now it will never again be
possible to re-establish it. Maine
wants to add to its desirable assets,
not lessen them. It is to be hoped
the Legislature will take favorable
action in connection with the. medical
school for it fills a need that is real
and vital. — "Portland Express."
Intercollegiate News
This year we have started at Bow-
doin a Press Club. This has been done
because it was felt that such an or-
ganization would be of great benefit
to the college. That this movement
really is valuable would seem to be
evidenced by the fact that it is be-
ing taken up by various other insti-
tutions. One that has recently come
to our attention is Davidson College
in North Carolina. Not only have
they formed a Press Club, but they
have gone a step farther. Recogniz-
ing the value of such an organization
to the college itself they have con-
tinued it to include the other institu-
tions of the state and have formed the
BOWDOIN ORIENT
395
N. C. Press Association. We know-
that the Press Club is a good thing
for Bowdoin; may it not likewise be
a good thing for the other colleges
of Maine ? Such an organization as
Davidson has started ought to be
worth while for us. Does Bowdoin
want to put it over? Or do we want
to wait and let some other college
eteal a march on us ?
In "The Dartmouth" of a recent
c'.ate appeared an article anticipating
the meeting of the Dartmouth debat-
ing team with the team from Ripon
College, Wisconsin. The western
team was described in glowing terms
as the champions of the West and
styled the contest the hardest ever
attempted by a Dartmouth team. The
article further stated something of
the record of the visiting speakers
and mentioned the importance that
the Westerners placed on the debate.
Owing to Dartmouth's defeat of Bow-
doin the meeting at Hanover was con-
sidered one of the most difficult of the
Eastern trip.
At this point we would like to take
issue with the writer of the article.
He described the tour of the Ripon
team; named the colleges that had
been met; and stated that they had
all "fallen before the Westerners," in-
cluding Bowdoin in his statement.
Either the editor was hasty in amass-
ing his material or his excessive zeal
must have clouded his faculties for it
will be remembered that Bowdoin de-
feated Ripon College by a 2-1 decision.

Hon. 1871 — Professor Charles
Henry Fernald, A.M., Ph.D., honorary
director of the Massachusetts Agri-
cultural College Graduate School,
died at his home in Amherst, Mass.,
February 22, after several months of
failing health. He was born March
16, 1838, at Mount Desert, Maine.
Soon after the opening of the Civil
War he enlisted in the Navy, where he
served for three years. He held a
commission as ensign during his
period of service. After teaching
five years at Litchfield Academy and
Houlton Academy, he became profes-
sor of natural history at the Univer-
sity of Maine, where he remained fif-
teen years. In 1871 he received the
A.M. from Bowdoin and in 1887 the
Ph.D. from Maine. From 1886 to
1910 Professor Fernald taught
zoology and entomology at Massachu-
setts Agricultural College. For the
next two years he was engaged as di-
rector of the graduate school of the
college. Since 1912 he has been the
honorary director until his death.
1895 — Perley D. Smith is a mem-
ber of the directorate board of the
Mattapan National Bank, Boston,
Mass.
1901 — Announcement has recently
been made of the engagement of Miss
Marion Stetson of Dorchester, Mass.,
to Hon. Alonzo Herrick Garcelon of
Medford, Mass.
1905 — Arthur Lewis McCobb was
killed in an accident in Buenos Aires,
Argentina, on January 30, 1921. The
particulars concerning his death and
the last few years of his life are
not known as yet at the college, so
that it is planned to print them in a
later issue of the "Orient." Mr. Mc-
Cobb was born at Boothbay Harbor,
Maine, September 24, 1883. For a
year after graduation he taught at
Elizabeth, New Jersey, and then went
abroad for a year to study in France
and Berlin. He taught at Rainbow
Lake, New York, from 1907 to 1909,
when he was appointed an assistant
professor in modern languages at
Trinity College, Durham, N. C. In
college he became a member of the
Delta Upsilon fraternity.
1916— Miss Goldie Solovich of Bath
and Abraham Seth Shwartz of Port-
land have been recently married. Mr.
Shwartz is a member of Phi Beta
Kappa. For the past four years he
has been in the Orient with the Pacific
Commercial Company, traveling in the
Philippines, Japan, and India.
1917 — Robert G. Albion is an in-
structor at Harvard College, where he
is taking a graduate course. Recently
he spoke at the Open Forum at the
Congress Square Universalist Church
in Portland, being the youngest
speaker to occupy the Forum plat-
form during the entire period of these
events. Mr. Albion spoke on "Heirs
of Turkey." He has made a special
study of this subject and at the meet-
ing revealed many interesting facts
on Turkey and its people.

THE "BEAR-SKIN"
(Continued from pare 393)
where they kept the big Polar Bear,
the college mascot, and fed him buns
from the railing. She had evidently
not visited the trophy room and he
scored heavily. If all the ridiculous
situations and faux pas of the past
week were saved for Ivy Day that
issue would boom. Unfortunately
few people relish jokes on themselves.
Imprimis I did not like the edi-
torials. They were too apologetic. I
doubt if Aristophanes apologized to
Socrates for exhibiting him in a
clothes-hamper before all his fellow
citizens. And what is more, I have
a shrewd suspicion that Socrates did
not call him out to pistols and coffee
for two, — or words to that effect. It
was in the "Cornell Widow," I be-
lieve, that the incoming board in their
first editorial congratulated their
customers on the demise of the out-
going board and assured them that
things were looking up. A little more
assurance, — which will come with
time and success, — and the tone of
the editorials will be firmer and more
sprightly, which will undoubtedly be
reflected throughout the paper.
The exchanges were better, as a
rule, than the body of the magazine.
Youth is not a fault, merely a status
which one out-grows only too rapidly.
But why should the "Harvard Lam-
poon," the first sheet of its kind in
America, be represented by only one
quotation and that too a pun, which
I ruled out of a High School paper
over fifteen years ago! Perhaps the
answer to that is that the editors
were not fortunate enough to have
read some H. S. p. In which case I
congratulate them.
A number of the pictures were de-
cidedly clever, there were also a num-
ber which were not so good. Did the
artist of the sketch on page 18, N. W.
corner, hesitate to initial his work
through modesty, or fear of the
Dean's office? I believe her older
sister was at the dance. But perhaps
I am wrong again.
"See America First" was, to my
mind, an amusing adumbration. It
reminded me of the latest possibili-
ties of the "Spoon River Anthology"
for elaboration into something larger.
Perhaps its brevity is its soul in
either case.
"Lady" (page 13) has a suggestion
of somewhere northwest of Suez, gold-
chevrons on the left cuff, and re-
pressed emotions. Its sincerity makes
one think that Calvin and New Eng-
land are operating the soft-pedal for
Cato's benefit.
Again "Alki Haul," one of the
most insolent puns I have ever heard
of, has clammy beads of sweat visible
in its making. It feels like a strained
tendon, just to glance hurriedly over
it.
Granting that it was a Prom, num-
ber, in which, — with apologies to
Atty. Gen. Palmer for using an alien
phrase, — "Wein, Weib, und Gesang"
were naturally the dominant notes, it
seems a trifle overdone, a bit mono-
tonous. We all realize the crimi-
nality of Mr. Volstead without run-
ning counter to his little pleasantries
in a paper avowedly designed to
amuse.
Let there be poignancy, subtlety,
and brevity. Let those who aspire to
motley read among the classic humor-
ists and develop style. Though this
last is as difficult as giving one's
astral soul a sitz-bath, away with
cheese-knife jests! Away with
false modesty! Let decency censor
the sheets, but let us have a bit of a
fling for our money.
Unofficially I enjoyed the "Bear-
Skin" a lot. My (adopted) dog
"Buster" will tell you I woke him
several times while reading it. It is
still in its infancy though. We hope
for and expect better things on the
third of June. (Have put away an
half dollar in an envelope against
that date.)
I wonder if all the editors realize
that there is really only one funny
paper in the world. It pays trans-
Atlantic passage money and seems to
be edited by an Hunch-Back. At least
he always has his picture on the
cover.

What Is Air Pressure?
THE air is composed of molecules. They constantly
bombard j^ou from all sides. A thousand taps by a
thousand knuckles will close a barn door. The taps
as a whole constitute a push. So the constant bombard-
ment of the air molecules constitutes a push. At sea-
level the air molecules push against every square inch of
you with a total pressure of nearly fifteen pounds.
Pressure, then, is merely a matter of bombarding mole-
cules.
When you boil water you make its molecules fly off.
The water molecules collide with the air molecules. It
takes a higher temperature to boil water at sea-level than
on Pike's Peak. Why? Because there are more bombard-
ing molecules at sea-level — more pressure.
Take away all the air pressure and you have a perfect
vacuum. A perfect vacuum has never been created. In
the best vacuum obtainable there are still over two billion
molecules of air per cubic centimeter, or about as many
as there are people on the whole earth.
Heat a substance in a vacuum and you may discover
properties not revealed under ordinary pressure. A new
field for scientific exploration is opened.
Into this field the Research Laboratories of the General
Electric Company have penetrated. Thus one of the
chemists in the Research Laboratories studied the disin-
tegration of heated metals in highly exhausted bulbs.
What happened to the glowing filament of a lamp, for
example? The glass blackened. But why? He discovered
that the metal distilled in the vacuum depositing on the
glass.
This was research in pure science — research in what may be
called the chemistry and physics of high vacua. It was undertaken
to answer a question. It ended in the discovery of a method of fill-
ing lamp bulbs with an inert gas under pressure so that the filament
would not evaporate so readily. Thus the efficient gas-filled lamp
of today grew out of a purely scientific inquiry.
So, unforeseen, practical benefits often result when research is
broadly applied.

Goodwin Breaks Two Records — Parent
High Point Winner— Tootell
Another Double Winner.
Last Friday evening in the Hyde
Athletic Building, Kappa Sigma re-
peated its victory of last year in the
annual inter-fraternity track meet.
The winners scored 36 points, leading
Delta Kappa Epsilon by a margin of
ten points. Chi Psi was third with
18 2-3, and Sigma Nu fourth with 15.
Beta Theta Pi and Zeta Psi each
registered 14 1-3, and Alpha Delta
Phi was next in line with 8. Other
scores were: Psi Upsilon 4, Delta
Upsilon 3 2-3, and Theta Delta Chi 2.
George Goodwin (Kappa Sigma)
broke the record of Clarence H.
Crosby '17 in the mile by nearly nine
seconds. The new record is two-
fifths of a second better than Good-
win's former indoor mark, which was
not made in a fraternity meet. Some-

Brown of Huntington, who had al-

Exeter for first honors in this last
event. They both cleared ten feet

Recital in Memorial
Hall by Lee Pattison
The audience which nearly filled
Memorial Hall last Thursday evening
was delighted with Mr. Pattison's
playing. It did not take the young
artist long to stamp himself indelibly
upon the feelings of all those who
knew what the art of piano playing
means.
With an intellect and temperament
splendidly equipped for the exacting
artistic demands of present day
musicianship, and with a technique
406
BOWDOIN ORIENT
distinguished by an incisive, brilliant
touch, clear, precise phrasing, and a
scholarly attention to the careful ac-
centuation of every phrase and every
nuance of the composer's meaning,
Mr. Pattison's attainments are indeed
remarkable.
In sweep of hand and swiftness of
finger, in fire and finesse of interpre-
tation, and graceful touches which
captivate even the indifferent ear, he
is an executant who holds his audi-
ence by the splendor of his playing.
Mr. Pattison's readings as tested
by the varied styles of composition in
his program are all alive with the in-
wardness of the genuine musical
heart, and while one listens to him,
one forgets to think how difficult or
how wonderful; one thinks how beau-
tiful.
The recital was given under the
auspices of the Saturday Club. The
program follows:
Beethoven — Sonata quasi una Fan-
tasia, Op. 27, No. 1; Andante — Alle-

Huntington Trailed
By Exeter
(Continued from page 405)
out his 20 points for the afternoon.
The final point score was as fol-
lows: Huntington 45, Exeter 44, Deer-
ing H. S. 7, Moses Brown 5, Morse
H. S. 2, Westbrook Seminary 2,
Hebron 1 1-2, Gardiner H. S. 1, Port-
land H. S. 1, Cony H. S. 1-2. Thir-
teen schools fail to score at all.
Huntington-Exeter Relay
After the point score had been de-
cided the final relay race took place.
Leonard of Huntington opened up a
lead on Lundell of Exeter, which he
held to the end of his two laps. Nor-
ing of Exeter started off like a streak
and at the end of his first lap had a
good lead over Brown, who was add-
ing relay to the rest of his work of
the afternoon. Archibald, Hunting-
ton's third man, almost overtook Nor-
ton, who, however, managed to hold
a lead of a scant yard or two which
he handed on to Swede. Robertson,
running anchor for Huntington,
started to pass the Exeter pole-
vaulter time and again, and finally
succeeded only near the end of the
last lap. The Huntington man broke
the tape about one yard ahead of his
rival, completing the fastest relay
race that has yet been run in the gym-
nasium. The college record held by
the Kappa Sigma fraternity team
since last year was lowered by one
second and a fifth.
Five Records Broken
Records were broken in the 220, the
440, the 880, the high jump, and the
relay; and the record in the hurdles
was equalled. Two of the trial heats
were won by Norton and Noring of
Exeter in the record time of 25 sec-
onds, two-fifths of a second faster
than the former record held by Jordan
of Hebron.
Robertson of Huntington lowered
the record of Marsters of Deering by
a fifth of a second in a trial heat of
the 440, and then later on, in the final
race, the Huntington man broke the
tape in 54 1-5 seconds, as against his
time of 55 seconds in the trial.
The half-mile record was broken by
Archibald of Huntington. The old
record (two and two-fifths of a sec-
ond slower) was set up last year by
Forbes of Huntington.
The record held for several years
by Pelletier of St. John's Preparatory
School in the running high jump was
excelled by one inch, by Bradley of
Moses Brown, the only representative
at the meet from his school.
Brown of Huntington tied the
record in the 45-yard high hurdles
held by Donegan and Andrews of
Hebron. The time was 6 2-5 seconds.
High Point Scorers
As mentioned above, Brown of
Huntington was by far the leading in-
dividual performer of the afternoon
with twenty points to his credit. Sec-
ond to him was Bayes Norton of
Exeter with two firsts which netted
him ten points. Lundell of Exeter
was third with nine. Other prominent
scorers were: Boettcher (Exeter) 6,
Robertson (Huntington) 5, Archibald
(Huntington) 5, Parker (Huntington)
5, Bradley (Moses Brown) 5, Driscoll
(Exeter) 5.
Norton Lands 40-Yard Dash Event
The meet began with the fifteen
trial heats of the forty-yard dash.
Huntington qualified five men for the
semi-finals; Brown, Archibald, Leon-
ard, Pierce, and Vining. Exeter and
Deering each qualified three; Norton,
Lundell, and Noring (for Exeter), and
Annis, Reynolds, and Ward (for Deer-
ing). Other men to qualify were
Junquera and Nichols (Hebron),
Lawry (Fairfield H. S.), and Bartlett
(Maine Central Institute). Of these,
three Exeter men and two Hunting-
ton runners won semi-final heats;
Norton, Lundell, Noring, Brown, and
Leonard. The final heat was a com-
plete victory for Exeter, whose three
men finished first, in the order of
their numbers (93, 94, 95), followed
by Leonard of Huntington. Norton
secured his first win of the afternoon
in this event.
Captain Robertson Sets Up New Mark
in 440
Three trial heats were run in the
440-yard run, prior to the semi-finals
and final of the forty-yard dash.
Makepeace of Exeter won the first of
these heats, Robertson of Hunting-
ton the second (in record time), and
Annis of Deering the third. The final
was run off about an hour later.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
407
Robertson blazed away to a win in a
time faster than his mark in the
trials, with Rogers of Exeter second,
Makepeace third, and Annis fourth.
Brown Equals Record in Hurdles
Four trial heats and a final sufficed
to obtain a decision in the 45-yard
high hurdles. The trial heats were
won by Farrington of Hebron, Brown
of Huntington, C. Linnell of Deering,
and Temple of Huntington. Brown
breezed through to a win in record
time in the final with his team-mate
Temple close behind. Linnell was
third, but Farrington was disqualified
for knocking over two hurdles.
Archibald Lowers Record in 880
One of the chief surprises of the
half-mile run was the failure of
Marsters of Deering to secure a place.
He drew a poor position at the start,
and then made the mistake of passing
the whole field too early in the race.
Archibald of Huntington and three
Exeter stars had the race to them-
selves after the fourth lap. Archi-
bald succeeded in breaking the record,
while the Exeter runners followed
after, Boettcher second, Jones third,
and Greeley fourth.
Norton Wins 220 and Breaks Record
Three trial heats were necessary to
pick a field for the final in the 220-
yard clash. The three heats were won
by Norton, Lundell, and Noring, again
in the order of their numbers (93, 94,
95), while the others who qualified
were Leonard of Huntington, Keogh
of Hebron, and Brennan of Westbrook
Seminary. Norton and Noring were
clocked in 25 seconds flat. In the
final heat Leonard and Noring both
lost out on account of falling down.
Norton registered his second win,
Lundell was second, and Brennan and
Keogh were third and fourth.
Mile Run Won By Parker
The only other track event except
the team races was the mile run,
which was won by Parker of Hunting-
ton in time only three-fifths of a sec-
ond short of the record held by Leath
of Hebron. Robertson ran for several
laps at the head of the field, merely
to set the pace, and then dropped out.
Parker was followed all the way by
Boettcher of Exeter. Jones, who was
expected to finish well, was left far
in the rear. Stover of Morse High
School furnished a surprise by finish-
ing third after running an excellent
race against the stars from the
Massachusetts schools. V. Linnell of
Deering took fourth.
Exeter Outclassed in Field Events
In the field events, Huntington
scored 21 points to Exeter's 12, which
outbalanced Exeter's margin of 32 to
24 in the track events. In the broad
jump, Brown and Spinney won first
and third for Huntington, while Lun-
dell took second and Fuller of Port-
land High was fourth. Bradley of
Moses Brown completely outclassed
the field in the high jump. After all
other competitors had been eliminated
at 5 feet, 3 inches, Bradley continued
jumping, until he had broken the
record. His final mark was 5 feet, 11
inches. Exeter failed to score a point
in this event, while Huntington took
four, with Brown winning second, and
Spinney tying for third with H. Hil-
dreth of Gardiner High and Ward of
Deering High.
Huntington won the shot put from
Exeter six to five. Driscoll of Exeter
was first, but the other three places
were taken by Brown, Nolte, and
Temple of Huntington.
The pole vault was the final de-
ciding event of the evening. Brown
and Swede tied for first, while repre-
sentatives of other schools divided the
remaining three points. Ward of
Deering was third, and Plummer of
Cony High School tied with Higgins
of Hebron for fourth.
Eleven dual relay races made up
the rest of the program. A few of
these were close and interesting, par-
ticularly, of course, the final clash be-
tween Huntington and Exeter.
Cony High Wins Portland "Express"
Cup
The first race was won by Cony
High of Augusta over Gardiner High.
Farrington of Cony obtained a lead
which was held throughout the race.
The time, 2.16 3-5, was sufficient to
win the Portland "Express" cup,
awarded to the Maine school record-
ing the best time in a relay race.
Westbrook Seminary won a fairly in-
teresting race from Maine Central In-
stitute. Biddeford High School won
by a comfortable margin from its old
rival, Thornton Academy.
Oak Grove Seminary and Fairfield
High School had walkaways from
Leavitt Institute and Goodwill Semi-
nary respectively. Rumford High
School defeated Winslow High rather
easily, and Kennebunk High School
came through for a win over South
Portland High.
Portland and Bangor had a close
race which was spoiled at the finish
when Harris of Portland fell and was
passed by Sweet of Bangor. Bruns-
wick High School ran away from
Morse High School of Bath after the
first lap had been completed.
Deering High School was pitted
against Hebron Academy, and suc-
ceeded in beating the Green team by
about seventy yards in 2 minutes and

(Continued from page 405)
silon), broke the tape in record time.
This second feat excelled Goodwin's
former mark of two minutes and six
seconds by 3 3-5 seconds.
Parent (Kappa Sigma) was the
high point winner cf the meet, with a
total of 15. He won the low hurdles
and the broad jump, finished second
in the high hurdles and third in the
forty-yard dash. Captain Thomson
(Delta Kappa Epsilon) and Tootell
(Sigma Nu) with eleven points each
were the next highest in the in-
dividual point scoring. Thomson won
the high hurdles, and finished second
in the forty-yard dash and low
hurdles. Tootell won both the discus
and the 36-lb. weight events, and in
addition placed fourth in the forty-
yard dash. Others who scored five
points or more are: Goodwin (Kappa
Sigma), 10, Turner (Zeta Psi) 8 1-3,
Butler (Chi Psi) 8, Cook (Delta
Kappa Epsilon) 6, Bisson (Delta
Kappa Epsilon) 5.
Seniors Win 58 2-3 Points
Although the meet was a contest
between the fraternities, it is of in-
terest to compare the scores totalled
by men from the different classes.
The Seniors had a good lead with
58 2-3 points, the Sophomores were
second with 45, the Juniors third with
17 1-3, and the Freshmen fourth with
10.
Kappa Sigma Repeats in Relay
The relay championship was won
by Kappa Sigma again. The four
trial heats were won by Chi Psi,
Kappa Sigma, Sigma Nu, and Psi
Upsilon. The last two of these races
were especially hotly contested.
Tootell opened up a lead for Sigma
Nu which his team mates managed to
hold to the end, although Partridge
and Turner pushed Young to the
limit in the last two laps. In the
fourth race Willson obtained the lead
for Psi Upsilon, but on the next lap
Clark won it for Alpha Delta Phi.
Hunt, running anchor for Psi Upsilon,
closed up the gap and then crossed
the line about five or ten yards to
the good. In the final Kappa Sigma
held the lead throughout, although
Sigma Nu and Chi Psi were follow-
ing close behind all the way.
BOWDOIN ORIENT
409
The cups which have been enumer-
ated in a recent issue of the "Orient,"
were awarded to the winners in each
event. The mile run trophy was of-
fered by the 1917 delegation of Delta
Kappa Epsilon in memory of Benja-
min P. Bradford '17, who died in the
service. The high jump cup was pre-
sented by the Alpha Delta Phi fra-
ternity in memory of Forbes Rickard,
Jr., '17, who was killed in the war.
The other ten cups were donated as
stated in the "Orient" before.
A cup which was donated by Dr.
Whittier was awarded to Parent '21
for securing the highest number of
points in the meet. Kappa Sigma won
the shield offered by President Sills
for winning the meet, and also the
cup presented by the Bowdoin Track
Association for winning the frater-
nity relay championship.
Largely through the efforts of
Coach Magee, Bowdoin obtained as a
referee for this meet and for the in-
terscholastic meet of Saturday, Wil-
liam C. Prout of the Boston Athletic
Association, and Vice-President of the
A. A. U.
Butler Ties Record in 40- Yd. Dash
The first event of the evening was
the preliminary part of the forty-yard
dash, in which twenty-two trial heats
were held. After these races, the
mile run took place. As said before,
Goodwin broke the record while win-
ning the race with ease. The only
runner whom he did not lap was Small
'24 (Alpha Delta Phi), who finished
second, ahead of Hart (Kappa Sigma)
and others. Hart was third, and Fill-
more (Chi Psi) succeeded in nosing
out Butler (Beta Theta Pi) just be-
fore the finish.
The semi-finals and final pf the
forty-yard dash were next on the pro-
gram. The six winners of the semi-
finals, Parent (Kappa Sigma), Thom-
son (Delta Kappa Epsilon), Willson
(Psi Upsilon), Butler (Chi Psi),
Tootell (Sigma Nu), and Hunt (Psi
Upsilon), lined up for the final. Butler
duplicated his feat of the semi-finals
by winning the event in 4 3-5 seconds,
tying the record. Thomson finished
second and Parent third, while Too-
tell came through for the weight men
by placing fourth.
Thomson and Parent Share Honors in
Hurdles
The four trial heats in the high
hurdle event were won by Clark
(Alpha Delta Phi), Hardy (Beta
Theta Pi), Thomson (Delta Kappa
Epsilon), and Parent (Kappa Sigma).
In the final Thomson broke the tape
in 6 1-5 seconds, with Parent, Hardy,
and Clark following in the order
named.
In the low hurdles the trial heats
were won by Parent (Kappa Sigma),
Worsnop (Kappa Sigma), Thomson
(Delta Kappa Epsilon), and Clark
(Alpha Delta Phi). The fastest trial
was won by Clark in 5 3-5 seconds,
one-fifth of a second better than the
result in the final. Parent and Thom-
son reversed the results of the high
hurdles, and Clarke finished third.
Fourth place was not counted.
Runaway For Turner in 440
Turner (Zeta Psi) had a runaway
in the quarter-mile run, finishing in
55 seconds. Butler (Chi Psi), Young
(Sigma Nu), and James (Beta Theta
Pi) took second, third, and fourth re-
spectively.
While Goodwin was breaking the
record in the half, Hunt was finishing
a strong second, with Partridge and
Lloyd Bishop (both Beta Theta Pi)
coming close behind for third and
fourth honors. Hunt led the field
most of the way, but Goodwin finally
broke away and took the race.
Tootell Wins Pair of Weight Events
The discus and 36-lb. weight were
contested in the afternoon. Tootell
won both events, while Stack and
Parsons (Zeta Psi), Walker (Chi Psi),
Perkins (Beta Theta Pi), Wagg
(Kappa Sigma), and Whitney (Delta
Kappa Epsilon) were the other
scorers in these events. The shot put
was won by Bisson (Delta Kappa
Epsilon), with Walker (Chi Psi),
Dahlgren (Kappa Sigma), and Perk-
ins (Beta Theta Pi) second, third, and
fourth.
Parent Captures Broad Jump
Parent won the broad jump with a
distance of 21 feet 1 1-2 inches. Bates
(Delta Kappa Epsilon) was second,
Kemp (Theta Delta Chi) third, and
Cook (Delta Kappa Epsilon) fourth.
The high jump resulted in a triple
tie for first between Fish (Delta Up-
silon), Philbrook (Chi Psi), and Tur-
ner (Zeta Psi). Fourth place was
captured by Hardy (Beta Theta Pi).
Cook Wins Pole Vault— F. P. Bishop
Strong Second
The last event of the evening be-
fore the final relay race was the pole
vault. As expected, Cook (Delta
Kappa Epsilon) won the event, for the
third time since he entered college.
Francis Bishop (Beta Theta Pi) put
up a strong fight which won him a
well deserved second. Mallett (Alpha
Delta Phi) took third, while fourth
was divided between Buker (Delta
Upsilon), Harvey Bishop (Beta
Theta Pi), and Philbrook (Chi Psi).

Rally in Memorial Hall
Presentation of Trophies for Track
Meets — Vaudeville Acts — Speeches
By Jack Magee, Thomson '21, and
Young '21.
Saturday evening after the inter-
scholastic meet an enthusiastic rally
was held in Memorial Hall, primarily
for the purpose of presenting the vari-
ous cups and shields which had been
offered to winners in the fraternity
meet of Friday night and in the inter-
scholastic meet.
Paul Eames '21, vice-president of
the Student Council, presided over the
meeting, and the three speakers were
Coach Jack Magee, Thomson '21, cap-
tain of track, and Young '21, president
of the Student Council.
Thomson and Young made brief
speeches on the Bowdoin spirit, what
Bowdoin has to offer in student
activities, particularly in athletics.
Coach Magee's speech was centered
chiefly around the presentation of the
trophies for the fraternity meet. He
presented the championship shield of-
fered by President Sills to Goodwin
'21 for the Kappa Sigma fraternity,
and also the cup given by the Bow-
doin Track Association for the cham-
pionship relay team. Wilfred L.
Parent '21 was awarded the cup do-
nated by Dr. Whittier for scoring the
greatest number of points. Coach
Magee presented the twelve cups for
the separate events to the different
winners. While presenting each cup,
he mentioned each donor and told in
what respect the donor had starred in
Bowdoin track in the past.
Eames presented the trophies for
the second meet. He first presented
the Bowdoin Track Association shield
to Captain Raymond Robertson of the
winning Huntington team. Roy
Brown was then given the cup for
winning the largest number of
points. Frank Farrington, captain
of the Cony High School team, re-
ceived the Portland "Evening Ex-
press" cup, awarded to the Maine
school recording the fastest time in
the relay races.
Four vaudeville acts were presented
by four of the fraternity teams which
had performed two weeks before.
Quinby '23 and Redman '21 played
"The Copper and the Nurse." Small
'24, Butler '22, H. V. Davis '23, and
Turgeon '23 put on a skit entitled
"The Beta Bum-Bards." Merrill '24,
Hunt '23, and Whalen '24, represented
Alpha Delta Phi in "Professor
Panagiotti and his pachyderm-quad-
ruped." The final vaudeville number
was "Rosalie Xavier in Opera a la
Zeta Psi," with Black '23, Eames '23,
and Mitchell '23.
The rally concluded with a round
of Bowdoin cheers and the singing of
"Bowdoin Beata."
Several Changes in Base-
ball Schedule Announced
Some changes have been made in
the baseball schedule as published in
the "Orient" several weeks ago. Fol-
lowing is the revised and, with the ex-
ception of two open dates, the final

16 a game will probably be arranged
with some Fort team. Manager Rid-
ley is also trying to secure a game

Meet this year was the award of in-
dividual silver cups to the winners
of their respective events. These
cups are in most cases the gifts of
those men holding the existent
records, and in every case are pre-
sented by or in memory of a man
prominent in athletics during his un-
dergraduate days.
The trophies are most appropriate
and praiseworthy. That they should
come from Bowdoin alumni is an in-
dication of the active and continual
interest that the graduate of the
College takes in the affairs of the un-
dergraduates. Much credit also should
be given to Coach Magee, who was
the originator of the idea.
As time goes on the cups will un-
doubtedly take on an added interest
and value. It is an honor worth
striving for to have one's name en-
graved on the cup, along with three
other winners of the prize, or it may
be possible in some cases for a man
to hold it throughout his college
course, which would be a signal dis-
tinction indeed. The winners or win-
ner will then have additional prestige
by placing the prize in the Trophy
Room of the Gymnasium for perma-
nent display, besides the pride of
holding it in his personal possession
for one year or more.
The cups, so generously donated by
loyal Bowdoin alumni, can not help
but create keener enthusiasm and
competition in future Interfraternity
Meets. This added impetus will re-
dound upon State and Intercollegiate
Meets, and will indeed be far-reach-
ing in its results.

Inter-Collegiate News
There are many and devious meth-
ods of gaining publicity. Some of
these are commendable and bring
credit; others are not commendable
and rather than attracting credit
they bring discredit and disapproval
upon an institution. In a recent issue
of the "Dartmouth" we observe such
a misdirected attempt at publicity.
We congratulate Dartmouth for hav-
ing defeated Ripon College in debate
— the speakers from the West are
worthy opponents. We cannot, how-
ever, congratulate her on her report
of the contest. Before making such
a bold statement as "Undefeated
Ripon Team Bows to Green Orators,"
the Green editors should be very sure
of their ground: — as was mentioned
before in this column, Bowdoin has
the distinction of being the first
Eastern college to defeate the de-
baters from Wisconsin, a distinction
that Dartmouth so boldly claims. A
publicity stunt such as that is very
cheap stuff and is exceedingly un-
worthy of a really great college.
Bowdoin may well be proud of last
week end. A great many colleges
hold similar events for the attraction
of men from the secondary schools,
but there are few if any of a higher
calibre than the last Interscholastic
Track Meet here at Bowdoin. There
was an exceptionally large entry list
this year and for the first time Exeter
entered a team. Events of this nature
do a great deal for Bowdoin and go
far toward maintaining that position
that she enjoys among the other col-
leges of the country.

sirability of following up classical
courses as well as those in business.
He stated that ten years ago there
was very little research work in busi-
ness; but that today there are many
fields in which business research is be-
ing carried on. This kind of work
was entered upon over nine years ago
by the Harvard Business School. The
first investigation was that of the re-
tail shoe business in the Middle West.
This showed that many firms did not
keep any organized system of books;
and that very few people used the
same definitions in business. There-
fore the first step for the Business
School to take was the establishment
of a uniform system of business defi-
nitions. At present the Harvard
Business School has been at work for
over a year on a bulletin which is to
give definitions of about 250 terms
connected with labor and its prob-
lems.
In carrying on business research the
school sends out blanks to be filled out
showing high and low expenses and
profit. Formerly this collection of
statistics was done through field
agents sent out by the school. At the
present time there is an enormous
field in business research, which in-
cludes manufacturing as well as
wholesale and retail industries. Dr.
Copeland explained that upon under-
taking a problem of research, an ex-
pert would start with one hypothesis,
transfer from that one to another, and
by the process of elimination find the
causes of failure and thereby obtain
better results. The Harvard Business
School carries on no special investi-
gation for private firms, but there are
companies in New York which carry
on this work for private houses.
The Business School is closely re-
lated to the Bureau of Research at
Harvard. In the school, students are
taught by the problem method of in-
struction, in which the Bureau of Re-
BOWDOIN ORIENT

search is invaluable. Dr. Copeland
laid great stress upon the importance
of good control over English compo-
sition. He estimated that during the
first year fifty to eighty per cent, of
the students fail to pass in the Busi-
ness School because of incompetence
in this one respect.
At the Harvard Business School
there are graduates from 134 colleges
throughout the country. Among these
Bowdoin men are ranking very favor-
ably with men from other institutions.
Later on in the evening Dr. Cope-
land and numerous guests were en-
tertained at the Beta Theta Pi house,
and there was interesting informal
discussion of the topics which the
speaker had treated of in his lecture.

Death of James
Louis Doherty '89
James Louis Doherty, an overseer
of Bowdoin College, and for many
years one of the leading lawyers of
Springfield, Mass., died at his home
after a long illness last Wednesday
(March 2). Mr. Doherty was bom in
Canterbury Parish, New Brunswick,
March 24, 1865. He fitted for college
at Houlton, Maine, and entered Bow-
doin in the fall of 1885.
Two years after his graduation he
was admitted to the Maine bar, and
for the next three years until 1894
he practiced law in Oldtown. In 1895
Mr. Doherty moved to Springfield and
has been engaged in law practice
there until very recently.
From 1910 to 1913 he served as
City Solicitor, during the administra-
tion of Mayor Edward H. Lathrop.
During the dissolution of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford merger
Mr. Doherty was appointed by the
Federal courts as one of the trustees
to take charge of the stock, and he
continued to hold this office until his
death.
In 1916, while the State troops were
guarding the Mexican border, he was
appointed by Governor McCall as a
member of the commission which went
to the border to conduct the voting
of the soldiers there on duty. Mr.
Doherty also served during the war
as chairman of the district exemption
board. He was also a director of the
Chicopee National Bank and a trus-
tee of the Springfield Institution for
Savings.
Last spring Mr. Doherty, who was
a trustee of the Boston & Maine rail-
road, was named as a member of the
Board of Arbitrators which acted in
the dispute between the Carmen's
Union and the Boston Elevated Rail-
way Company.
Mr. Doherty's election to the Board
of Overseers was in June, 1919. In
college he became a member of the
Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. His
two sons, James C. Doherty and
Louis W. Doherty, graduated from
Bowdoin in the class of 1919.
Professor Shorey To
Lecture at Bowdoin
On March 21 and 22 Professor Paul
Shorey, probably the foremost Greek
scholar in America, is to lecture at
Bowdoin. On the 21st his subject
will be Aristophanes, and on the 22nd
Dante. His lecture on Dante will be
of particular interest at this time in
connection with the six-hundredth an-
niversary of the poet's death. On
Washington's Birthday Professor
Shorey was the lecturer at the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania where he re-
ceived an honorary degree.
Professor Shorey is a graduate of
Harvard University, and he has
since studied at the University of
Leipsig, the University of Bonn, and
the University of Munich, at which
last institution he received the degree
of Ph.D. Since then he has received
honorary degrees from Iowa College,
the University of Missouri, Johns
Hopkins University, the University of
Michigan, the University of Colorado,
the University of Wisconsin, Brown
University, and the University of
Pennsylvania.
Dr. Shorey has been the head of the
Greek department at Bryn Mawr Col-
lege, the Turnbull lecturer in poetry
at Johns Hopkins, and the Roosevelt
professor at the University of Berlin.
He is the editor of "Classical Philo-
gogy/' and the president of the
American Philology Association. He
is the author of many books, among
them the following: "De Platonis
Idearum Doctrina," "The Idea of Good
in Plato's Republic," "The Unity of
Plato's Thoughts," "The Assault on
Humanism," and the text book, "The
Odes and Epodes of Horace," which
has been in use at Bowdoin College
until this year.
The students of the college can well
deem themselves fortunate to have
for a lecturer so remarkable a scholar,
so eminent a writer, and so popular
and interesting a speaker.
ALL GONE !
By J. B. D.
[All the members of my class at Bowdoin Col-
lege are dead, but me.]
Why -was I spared, the last of all ?
The bravest in the battle fall ;
The brightest in the shades of peace
Are called the soonest ; and they cease
To toil and mourn life's pilgrimage,
Crushed by infirmities of age,
Even while their minds are clear and bright.
They leave the world for realms of light.
And I am left alone, behind!
How loneliness comes o'er my mind !
The least deserving longest lives ;
A further time kind heaven gives
To fit my soul for trial dread,
When the loud trump shall wake the dead ;
'Tis mercy, waiting yet to see,
If hope of heaven shines on me.
McKeen, the just and honest 'John,'
My constant friend, his duty done.
Has gone t' enjoy his just reward.
Little, who won all men's regard,
By open heart and gen'rous hand,
Sleeps near his own productive land.
Merrill, the keen and quick; and he
Who won superiority.
Shrewd-thinking Redington, — no more
Learning's deep mysteries explore,
All, all are dead ! while I remain
To drag, alone, life's length'ning chain.
Standing upon the verge of life,
Weary of all its toils and strife,
Mourning companions passed away,
Fearing yet more another day,
With moistened eyes and downcast look,
Like one whom all men have forsook,
While painful thoughts my bosom swells,
I bid my youthful friends farewell !
The above lines, written by John
Barton Derby, of the class of 1811,
are taken from a clipping from "The
American Privateersman," recently
received by the college from Mrs. H.
B. Reed of Philadelphia. The clipping
is undated but seems to have appeared
in 1855. "The Privateersman" an-
nounces itself as "An Original Nauti-
cal and Literary Paper," It promises
to "give rich and spicy sketches, in-
teresting tales, choice poetry, etc. In
414
BOWDOIN ORIENT
short the new craft will be freighted
with the very richest cargo that
money, enterprize and tact can pro-
cure."
Mr. Derby was apparently not cor-
rectly informed on the vital statistics
of his small class of six members.
One had died in 1846; three died in
1860 and 1861, and Redington, certain-
ly the last surviving member, died in
1874, outliving Derby by seven years.
Nehemiah Cleaveland of the class
of 1813 writes as follows: "John Bar-
ton Derby, born in 1793, was the eld-
est son of John Derby, a Salem mer-
chant. In college he was musical,
poetical, and wild. He studied law in
Northampton, Mass., and settled as a
lawyer in Dedham. His first wife was
a Miss Barrell of Northampton. After
her death he married a daughter of
Horatio Townsend. They soon separ-
ated. A son by this marriage, Lieut.
George Derby of the United States
Army, became well known as a humor-
ous writer under the signature of
"John Phoenix." For many years be-
fore his death Mr. Derby lived in
Boston. At one time he held a sub-
ordinate office in the custom house.
Then he became a familiar object in
State Street, gaining a precarious
living by the sale of razors and other
small wares. He was now strictly
temperate, and having but little else
to do, often found amusement and
solace in those rhyming habits which
he had formed in earlier and brighter
years. His Sundays were religiously
spent — so at least he told me — in the
composition of hymns. The sad life
which began so gayly came to a close
in 1867."
BASKETBALL GAMES
SCHEDULED FOR WEEK OF
FEBRUARY 28 POSTPONED
The games scheduled for the week
starting February 28 in the Inter-
fraternity Basketball League were
necessarily postponed. Time trials
and track workouts for the coming
Interf raternity Track Meet have made
it impossible to use the space neces-
sary for basketball. A revised sched-
ule has been made out so that the
games may be played off beginning
this week, March 7.
jFacultp JSotes
Professor Johnson and Mr. Wilder,
with Principal Wilson of Bath, were
judges of the debate last Friday be-
tween Brunswick High School and
South Portland High School. The
winning Brunswick team had been
coached by F. W. Anderson '21, while
the coach for South Portland was S.
C. Buker '21.
Professor Ham will be a judge of
the debate next Friday at Livermore
Falls between Mechanic Falls High
School and Livermore Falls High
School.
Professor Davis officiated as judge
at a public speaking contest at Rum-
ford last Thursday.
In the "Lewiston Journal" last Sat-
urday, Mr. Wilder published an essay
on the history of the expression : "You
cannot make a silk purse out of a
sow's ear."
Professor Nowlan gave an excep-
tionally interesting lecture in the
Brunswick Court Room Sunday after-
noon on Number systems and some
of the ingenious devices known in
connection with systems of numbers
differing from the one now in com-
mon use.
Professor Hormell's analysis of the
finances of the town of Brunswick ap-
yeared in the "Brunswick Record" for
March 4.
President Sills had an article in the
warrant for Monday's town meeting
providing for a non-partizan secret
ballot. Professor Gross also had an
article in this warrant providing for
ordinances regulating the milk sup-
ply, that is, bottling and tubercular
tests; and Professor Hormell had an
article providing for proposed changes
in the organization of the town gov-
ernment.
Professor Catlin is chairman of the
Brunswick Democratic Committee. A
Democratic caucus was held last Fri-
day evening over which Professor
Burnett presided.
RESOLUTION
Hall of Theta of Delta Kappa Epsilon:
The death of Brother James Louis
Doherty of the class of 1889 is an oc-
currence producing great sorrow
among the members of this fraternity,
his own classmates and throughout a
large circle of friends and business
acquaintances. His loss will be very
keenly felt here at Bowdoin as he
was one who accomplished much in
furthering the interests of the col-
lege.
He graduated in 1889 with the de-
gree of Bachelor of Arts. Shortly
after this he took up residence at
Springfield, Mass., where he lived un-
til his ill-timed death. As an attorney,
he stood high among the members of
his profession. The confidence that was
placed in him as a business man is
well shown by the positions of trust
which he held. At the time of his
death he was a director and Federal
trustee of the Boston & Maine R. R.
He was the author of the book "Audi-
tors and Masters." As a member of
the Elks and other societies he was
held in high esteem.
The name of James Louis Doherty
will long be remembered and his
memory honored by all who knew
him.
Theta Chapter sends her deepest
sympathy to the family of Brother
Doherty for the loss of one whose
place can never be filled.

RESOLUTION
Alpha Eta of Chi Psi has learned
with sorrow of the death of John
Wesley Threlfall of the class of 1915.
While he was not a member of Chi
Psi, he was a member of the old local
fraternity, Phi Theta Upsilon. While
he was in college he was recognized
as a man of high quality, and we feel,
to quote the words of the "Congre-
gationalist" that, "In his going the
world has lost a sterling man of many
rare and winsome traits."
Therefore, be it Resolved: That Al-
pha Eta of Chi Psi extend its sym-
pathy to the family and friends of
Mr. Threlfall, and further be it
Resolved : That a copy of these reso-
lutions be entered on the records of
the Alpha, published in the Bowdoin
"Orient," and sent to the family of
the deceased.

BOWDOIN ORIENT 415
Alumni Subscribers to THE ORIENT
THE ORIENT is most grateful to you for your loyal interest and support. The
ORIENT is making every effort to deserve your support, not only by keeping you
posted on all important events here at the College, but by developing its ALUMNI
DEPARTMENT into a major feature of the paper.
Never before has news of the ALUMNI been featured so extensively as during
the past year.
Never before have the ALUMNI been able to read so much about their old friends
in Bowdoin.
Never before have the Class Secretaries been so energetically and successfully be-
labored for news by the ALUMNI EDITOR.
The ORIENT has duly qualified as the best unofficial organ for the collection and
dissemination of all BOWDOIN ALUMNI news. The ORIENT intends this spring to
publish full accounts of all plans for the Class Reunions at the coming Commence-
ment, and at the same time to print all the news of the classes and of individual mem-
bers that it is able to collect. Special attention will be given to the printed class re-
ports. These reports are sent only to the members of the respective classes — the
elaborate summaries which we are printing go to all the subscribers, so that members
of other classes who were in College at the same time and who knew the men in the
classes immediately preceding and following their own will get the news that they
want. To this end particular attention is being given to the organization of the Edi-
torial staff to promote this work and maintain its efficiency.
The ORIENT is under great obligations to the Class Secretaries for their cordial
co-operation and counts on them to send in all the news that comes into their hands.
They are earnestly requested to send in copies of their printed reports as fast as they
come out.
This all costs money ! One issue of the ORIENT costs nearly two and a half times
what it did before the War ! To keep the ORIENT up to its present standard we
must have MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS from the ALUMNI!!
Because of the facts that — The cost of printing the ORIENT has more than
doubled — Less than 500 of the ALUMNI are now subscribers — We can not get as
much advertising as would be possible if we had a larger circulation — Only two of the
ALUMNI are ADVERTISERS:
It will be necessary for the Publishing Co. to raise the price from $2.00 to $3.00.
Before doing this the company wants to be fair to all the ALUMNI, especially those
who are now subscribers. Subscriptions can be RENEWED at $2.50 — Provided — the
renewal and check are received here by April 15th. NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS for
Volume 51 will be accepted at $2.50 — Provided — the order is received here by March
30th. Check must accompany order!
There are over 2,500 living ALUMNI — less than 20% are subscribers to the
ORIENT ! ! There surely must be at least 1,000 out of this number who would be glad
not only to support the ORIENT but to get the ALUMNI NEWS regularly and to read
about the everyday life of the old College. Will you help us? Everyone of you must
know several Bowdoin men who ought to be taking the ORIENT, but are not. Send
us their names and addresses. Send them THIS copy of your ORIENT. Underline
these sentences in BOLSHEVIK RED for their benefit and ours, and persuade them
to come forward and send in their subscriptions at once to
EBEN G. TILESTON, Business Manager.

SENIOR PRESIDENCY
The class of 1921 held its elections
in Memorial Hall last Tuesday after-
noon at 3.30. Class officers were
chosen, the class day parts were voted
upon, and three committees were
elected.
John G. Young of Paris, Texas,
president of the student body, was
elected president of the class, and M.
Lawrence Willson of Sussex, N. J.,
was re-elected vice-president.
(Continued on page 423)
ORIENT ELECTIONS
Monday afternoon of this week the
annual student elections were held
for the positions of editor-in-chief and
managing editor of the "Orient" for
the fifty-first volume. Edward B.
Ham '22 was elected editor-in-chief,
and F. King Turgeon '23 was elected
managing editor.
Last Wednesday noon four candi-
dates from the class of 1924 were
elected to the "Orient" board: George
T. Davis, Fredric S. Klees, G. William
Rowe, and P. Dennison Smith. These
men are to serve as the department
editors of the fifty-first volume, which
begins immediately after the Easter
vacation.
Classical Club Meeting
The Classical Club met at the resi-
dence of President Sills last Thursday
evening. The annual initiations were
held at this meeting. Professor
Means, Ferris '22, Jacob '23, Love '23,
Mason '23, and Poore '23 were the six
who were initiated into the club.
Professor Van Cleve read a paper
on the "Relation of Latin to History,"
speaking particularly of the Roman

Sophomores Swamp
Freshmen in Track
Next month there is to be an Inter-
collegiate conference en undergradu-
ate government which is to be held at
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology. The aim of this conference
is to bring together representatives of
various universities and colleges at a
meeting to discuss the problems of
undergraduate government and stu-
dent activities.
The plans of the conference were
first proposed and discussed in a
meeting at the University Club of
New York last December of repre-
sentatives of Cornell, Dartmouth,
Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Tech-
nology. It was decided at this meet-
ing that the representatives there
should act as an executive committee
and take charge of the conference.
Forty-one colleges and universities
have been invited to send four dele-
gates to this conference. The date of
the conference has been set as April
15 and 16, at the Massachusetts In-

Six Records Broken — Tootell, Butler,
and Clark High Point Winners —
Bates 1924 Beaten in Relay.
Last Friday evening the class of
1923 had a decidedly easy victory over
the class of 1924 in the sixth annual
Freshman-Sophomore track meet. The
final score was 80 to 27. The losers,
however, had the satisfaction of a
double win in relay, as both the Bates
Freshmen and the Bowdoin Sopho-
mores failed to show their heels to
the Bowdoin 1924 quartet.
Six records went by the boards,
with Tootell '23 breaking two of them.
Francis Bishop '24 raised the pole
vault record, Bates '23 the broad jump
record, and Philbrook '23 the high
jump mark. Butler '23 clipped a fifth
of a second from the record in the 40-
yard dash which had been held jointly
by six men.
Tootell was the high point winner
of the meet with 13 3-4 points. He won
the discus and the 36-pound weight
events, breaking the record in each,
finished second in the shot-put, and
ran on the Sophomore relay team.
Butler, the other double winner of
the evening, won 11 3-4 points with

Sophomore-Freshman Meet
(Continued from page 421)
firsts in the 40-yard clash and the
quarter-mile run, a third in the broad
jump, and a place on the 1923 relay
team. The third highest point win-
ner was Clark '23 with 8 points to
his credit, for winning the high hurdle
event and taking second in the 40-yard
dash.
Captain Hardy of the Freshman
team was awarded the cup offered by
the U. Q. Society for the Freshman
scoring the highest number of points
in this meet. His total was 7 1-4,
which resulted from his second in the
hurdles and the high jump, and his
point and a quarter for running on
the winning relay team. Other promi-
nent point winners were: Bates '23
(63), Philbrook '23 (6), F. Bishop '24
(5), L. Bishop '23 (5), Bisson '23 (5).
Thirteen men qualified for the
semi-final heats of the 40-yard dash.
The winners of the semi-finals were
Bates '23, Butler '23, Clark '23, and
Beals '24. Butler broke the record in
his heat of the semi-finals. The final
sprint resulted in a complete victory
for the Sophomores, who scored all
nine points. Butler finished first in
slower time than in the semi-finals,
with Clark second and Bates third.
Three heats decided the line-up for
the final of the 45-yard high hurdles.
Clark '23 won the fastest heat, and
Towle '24, by finishing second in this
heat, qualified for the finals. The
other heats were won by Hardy '24
and Miller '23. Clark breezed through
to a win in the final, finishing only a
fifth of a second behind the record
of Savage '18 for this meet. Hardy
took second, and Miller third.
Hamilton came through for the
Freshmen in the mile, by taking the
lead in the third lap and then increas-
ing it so much that it was impossi-
ble for any others to catch him. Fill-
more '23 was second and Renier '23
came in third. Small '24, who placed
second to Goodwin in the fraternity
meet, being on the injured list, was
unable to run.
Butler '23, as was expected after
his performance a week ago, took first
honors in the quarter. Two Fresh-
men, Robinson and Lee, won second
and third respectively.
The Sophomores had a runaway in
the half-mile, scoring eight points to
one. Lloyd Bishop '23 won the race
and Jacob '23 followed after him for
second. Hamilton entered this race
after his hard work in the mile and
succeeded in finishing third. Palmer
'23, the record-holder in this event,
was unable to compete in this meet
as well as the fraternity meet, on ac-
count of an injury to his leg.
The two team races were both
highly satisfactory events. Early in
the evening the Bates quartet with
the speedy Farley, formerly of the
Huntington School, and three others,
failed to outdo the Bowdoin men. Al-
lan Robinson, an almost entirely new
man in the track field, showed up un-
usually well in this event. In his two
laps he caught up with Wilson and
passed him, handing on a lead of two
or three yards.
The Freshmen led all the way in
their race with the Sophomores.
Worsnop had the pole, and succeeded
in keeping Bates off during the two
laps. Hardy started off with a three
or four yard lead on Miller, and
passed on practically the same ad-
vantage to Beals, who gained a little
on Tootell. Robinson, running anchor,
was closely pursued by Butler, but
the Sophomore was unable to get
within two yards of him at any time.
The Sophomores scored 26 out of
27 points in the three weight events.
Tootell took 13 of these 26 points, and
the remaining 13 were divided be-
tween Bisson (who won the shot put),
Walker, Mason, and McLellan. Bur-
nell was the only Freshman to place.
Philbrook broke the record in the
high jump, and Hardy finished second
to him. Pierce '23 took third. Bates
broke the record in the broad jump,
while two of his class-mates, Kemp
and Butler, were taking second and
third.
Francis Bishop's performance in the
pole vault deserves the highest credit.
He and his brother, Harvey Bishop
'23, passed Philbrook '23 at the ten
foot mark, and then both of them
cleared ten feet one, breaking the old
record in this event, held by Cook '21.
The younger brother won the event a
few minutes later with a mark of ten
feet six. He tried three times for the
track record, of 11 feet, 2 1-4 inches,
but failed by a slight margin. His
first try was almost successful. Coach
Magee declares that the pole-vaulting
situation has never been better at
Bowdoin than it is right now.

events :

The Bates Football Game
For the last several weeks there
has been considerable discussion re-
garding the football game to be
played with Bates next fall. Nothing
of this has been mentioned in the
"Orient" as yet on account of the
lack of any very definite facts in the
matter. As is more or less generally
known about the campus, the Athletic
Council met in Portland recently, and
decided to offer Bates the date of
October 29 as the only one possible
on which Bowdoin can play this game.
At present Bates has a game with
New Hampshire College carded for
that day, and unless this game is re-
arranged in some way, it is very
doubtful that there will be any Bates-
Bowdoin contest. The Bates manage-
ment desires to have November 12 as
the date of the game with Bowdoin,
but the White is scheduled to meet
Tufts at that time.
It is much to be regretted that
such a misunderstanding has come up
between Bates and Bowdoin, after so
many years of keen and friendly
rivalry between the two colleges, but
for the present it seems impossible
for Bowdoin to do anything except to
play Bates on October 29 or else not
at all. It is to be hoped, however,
that the Bates management can make
some arrangement so that the game
can be played next fall as usual.
Masque and Gown
Philbrick '23, manager of the
Masque and Gown, has announced that
on April 8 "Stop Thief," the Ivy play,
will be presented in Camden. The
next week end a trip will be made to
Skowhegan and Augusta to give two
more performances; and on April 22
it will be played in Westbrook. It is
expected that at least one more ap-
pearance will be made, — at Boston
either the last of April or the first of
May. Arrangements are being made
424
BOWDOIN ORIENT
for the play to be given under the
auspices of Simmons College for the
Simmons College benefit fund.
Those on the cast have been putting
a great deal of time into rehearsing;
and are progressing very well under
the coaching of H. Augustus Huse of
Bath.
A few changes have been made in
the cast, which is at present, as fol-
lows :
Joan Carr Miguel '24
Mrs. Carr Black '23
Caroline Carr Ferguson '24
Madge Carr Clymer '22
Nell Daviau '23
William Carr Ridlon '22
James Cluney Quinby '23
Mr. Jamison Hall '21
Dr. Willoughby Kileski '21
Rev. Mr. Spelain Klees '24
Jack Doogan Ingraham '21
Joe Thompson Parcher '23
Sergeant of Police Fillmore '23
Police Officer Jewett '24
"Little Lord Fauntleroy"
Bowdoin students will be interested
in the announcement that on the eve-
ning of April 7th the play "Little
Lord Fauntleroy" will be given by
a group of Portland society young
people at the Cumberland Theatre.
There is no one who docs not re-
gard Lord Fauntleroy as a delightful
and glamorous friend of his youth
and who will not give him an en-
thusiastic welcome on the stage. The
full cast will be published later but
among those taking part are Mrs.
Phyllis Thaxter, Miss Katrina Schuy-
ler, Robert Hale '10, William D. Ire-
land '16, and Mr. Donald Payson.
The proceeds of this performance will
be used for the Wellesley Fund.
Remember the evening — April 7th!
M. I. T. Conference
(Continued from page 421)
stitute of Technology.
It is planned to have four separate,
but simultaneous meetings, one dis-
cussing the problems of student gov-
erning bodies, another athletics, an-
other publications, and another musi-
cal clubs and dramatics. Each col-
lege is to send delegates to represent
these four branches of student ac-
tivities.
As for the program of the confer-
ence, it is planned to have the dele-
gates arrive Friday morning, and in
the afternoon to begin the four con-
ferences. In the evening a formal
dance is to be held. Saturday there
will be conferences in the morning and
in the afternoon. At the end of the
afternoon there will be a meeting of
all the delegates, at which the chair-
man will give a summarized report
of the discussion in each of the con-
ferences. The program will be com-
pleted Saturday evening with a
formal banquet.
The executive committee in charge
of the conference consists of W. R.
Barker, M. I. T. (chairman); J. C.
Telmosse, U. of Penn. (in charge of
discussion on student government) ; F.
R. Dulles, Princeton (in charge of dis-
cussion on publications); Daniel B.
Strickler, Cornell (in charge of dis-
cussion on athletics); R. W. Elsasser,
Dartmouth (in charge of discussion on
musical clubs and dramatics). The
publicity committee consists of Carole
A. Clarke, M. I. T.; F. R. Dulles,
Princeton; and Charles Thompson, U.
of Penn.
The Student Council met Monday
evening of this week to decide re-
garding Bowdoin's part in the con-
ference. It is hoped that more than
the minimum four can be sent to this
meeting, and to this end plans have
been made for holding an informal
dance in the Gymnasium on the eve-
ning of April 9.
By means of such a conference as
this, Massachusetts Institute of Tech-
nology is offering other colleges a
splendid opportunity to derive some
excellent ideas and plans regarding
the control of their undergraduate
activities. Certainly Bowdoin will not
lose this chance to discover methods
of improving in any way its present
system of student organizations.

Bowdoin's Contribution to Armenian
Relief Funds.
It has been the custom both of late
years and before the war for Bow-
doin to support, with just as liberal
a contribution as possible, some for-
eign service and to make this one ser-
vice the appeal of the year.
Each year there are several ap-
peals that- come before the college
each wanting to secure a contribu-
tion from the college. This year
there have already been several and
there seems promise of still more. All
these several relief works have been
considered by the Student Council and
in consultation with the President, the
Student Council has decided to limit
the appeals to the student body to one,
that is, to adopt, so to speak, one line
of work and to follow it out with a
thorough convass of the entire stu-
dent body, appealing to the student
body to contribute as liberally as
possible knowing that this is to be
the only appeal for foreign work
made.
The Near East Relief or the Relief
for Armenia and the Near Eastern
lands has been decided upon as the
one to adopt. This organization is
chartered by the U. S. Congress and
is the only organization doing work in
that section, so no duplication is possi-
ble. They have a complete relief or-
ganization, providing orphanages,
food, clothing, employment in indus-
trial homes, hospitals, dispensaries
and numerous other lines of work to
that poor down-trodden section where
thousands are in daily want.
Before the vacation each student
will be appealed to, to contribute his
share and to be as liberal as possible
in his giving.
It is hoped that a good contribution
will be forthcoming from Bowdoin for
this is the only foreign relief that the
students are to be asked to support.
Please be prepared to do your part
and make this single relief work a
success for we as fortunate individu-
als should aid in every way possible
those whom we can. This cause is a
worthy one for it means the saving
of lives, the training of children, the
training of mind and body and the
actual relief of a great and wide-
spread want.

Some Examples of
Original Spelling
The list of spellings of the word
"Bowdoin," which are printed below,
was enclosed in a letter to President
Sills from the principal of the Woon-
socket (R. I.) High School.
March 4, 1921.
President K. C. M. Sills,
Brunswick, Maine.
Dear 'President Sills: — I trust you
will be more amused than pained to
learn that in Southern New England
the name of Bowdoin, while held in
high esteem, is not wholly familiar
to the eye. Several years ago, when
located in another town, I had oc-
casion to dictate to the high school
pupils some sentences containing the
name of Bowdoin College. As there
were many spellings, I repeated the
dictation on several occasions with the
enclosed results. Doubtless many
more spellings could be obtained
(possibly in Maine?), but I have tired
of counting. Perhaps you may detect
a little foreign flavor in some in-
stances but all contain the four chief
letters B-o-d-n.
Very truly yours,
C. C. SPRATT.

Ibis Meeting
A closed meeting of the Ibis was
held at the Delta Upsilon house on
Sunday evening. President Sills gave
the address on "The Right to be Pessi-
mistic."
The President raised the question
whether any public service corpor-
ation were now giving service equal
to what it gave five or ten years ago,
and in the discussion that followed
none was found. The President also
discussed, among other things,- the
morals of movies and dances, citing
numerous clear instances from recent
experience that show a steady de-
generacy. These were some of the
reasons, he felt, why it is one's duty
to be pessimistic today.
Other faculty members present
were Professor Bell and Pro-
fessor Cram. The next meeting will
be held at the Sigma Nu house on
Sunday evening, April 10.

1851 — Word has been recently re-
ceived at the library of the death of
John Warren Butterfield, who had
been engaged in the practice of law
at Washington, D. C, for over forty
years. As yet no information has
been received regarding the exact
date of his death. He was born at
Vassalboro, Maine, on December 20,
1829. After graduating he taught at
various secondary schools for about
six years. From 1861 to 1876 he was
in the United States Civil Service at
Washington. Since 1876 he has been
a lawyer in Washington. He received
a Master's degree from Bowdoin in
1854. Mr. Butterfield, a member of
Delta Kappa Epsilon, graduated from
Bowdoin with Phi Beta Kappa honors.
Medic-1870— Dr. Barzillai Bean
Foster died in Portland on February
17, 1921. He was born May 5, 1849,
at Unity, Maine. He had practiced
medicine in Portland for over fifty
years since his graduation from the
Medical School. He was city phy-
sician from 1871 to 1873. In 1907-08
he was President of the Maine Medi-
cal Association.
1875 — Francis Robbins Upton,
former associate of Thomas A. Edi-
son, died at his home in Orange, New
Jersey, on March 10, after a prolonged
illness. He was the first president of
the Edison Pioneers and helped the
inventor to work out a complete sys-
tem of electric light by incandescence.
Mr. Upton was born at Peabody,
Mass., July 26, 1852, of a family which
traced its American ancestors through
a hundred and fifty years. He was
educated at Phillips-Andover, Bow-
doin, Princeton and at Berlin. He
was a member of the Psi Upsilon fra-
ternity. His son, Francis R. Upton,

elected head of the Bath Chapter of
the American Red Cross. He has had
extensive experience in directing work

brings to the local work an experience
and scope in vision which will be an
important factor in its work.

HISTORIANS go into details and
know that George Washington
wasn't what might be called slow.
We know this of him, he fought
George with a vim, and he gave
Lord Comwallis a gosh-darned
good trim. We know, too, that he
cut down Dad's cherry tree, and he
spoiled thus the fruit that grew an-
nually. But few know this case,
that 'twas he set the pace for pro-
ducing most leaves in the last pos-
sible space. That's part of cigar
history, so they say, and the best
smoke of all is our own C. C. A.

Special Assessment
It is more or less known that the
finances of the various activities of
the college are in a deplorable con-
dition. It is time to bring the exact
facts to the attention of the student
body and to take action immediately
to cope with the situation.
To show the magnitude of the prob-
lem it is only necessary to publish
the deficit of the combined student
activities as determined by the Board
of Managers and the Athletic Council.
Below is a statement from Mr. Ly-
man A. Cousens, chairman of the
Athletic Council, which is self ex-
planatory:
Track deficit $1,500.00
Tennis deficit 175.00
Fencing deficit 20.00

The New Gilbert
Stuart Portraits
The Bowdoin collection of Gilbert
Stuart portraits has been materially
increased by the addition of two more
paintings. These two portraits were
bequeathed to the college by Miss
Mary J. N. Clapp of Boston. They
were, however, to have been the prop-
erty of Miss Dearborn during Miss
Dearborn's lifetime, and to come to
Bowdoin at her death. Miss Dear-
born has very generously waived her
right to the paintings, so they come
directly to the college.
The portraits are of General Henry
A. S. Dearborn and his first wife.
General Dearborn afterwards married
the widow of Hon. James Bowdoin,
the founder of the present art col-
lection. The portraits, which were
painted about 1812, are very admir-
able ones, and very little injured by
time. Added to the portraits of
President Jefferson, President Madi-

Musical Clubs Concert
In Brunswick
Last Thursday evening the Bow-
doin Musical Clubs played to a large
audience in the Brunswick Town Hall.
All the numbers on the program were
well received and it was necessary to
give encores time and again.
The concert began with "Rise Sons
of Bowdoin" and "We'll Sing to Old
Bowdoin," given by the combined
clubs. The Banjo Club played Bige-

Seniors' Last Gym
Friday afternoon the class of 1921
celebrated the end of its four years
of gymnasium classes. According to
the opinion of a large number, the
most creditable act of the celebration
was the addition of McCurdy '22 to
the parade, in return for the instruc-
tion in gymnasium work given by him'
this winter.
The Seniors paraded from the
chapel to the gymnasium and then
down town as far as the Town Hall.
After this the class marched back as
far as the residence of President Sills.
Opposite his house, following a prayer
offered by Rev. M. J. Wing, the phy-
sical training instructor was hung in
effigy. Following this act, the class
marched to the gymnasium, released
McCurdy, and disbanded.
The effigy was carried at the head
of the parade, followed by Oliver Hall
and a mournful band of two or three
pices. McCurdy was well guarded by
Eames and Gibson, armed with pitch-
forks. The rest of the procession was
made up of numerous members of the
class, all garbed in some sort of gro-
tesque costume.
The celebration was in charge of
a committee consisting of C. A.
Jordan (chairman), N. W. Haines, and
J. E. Woodward.

Bates Freshmen Win Relay
Last Wednesday the Bowdoin 1924
relay team lost its race against the
Bates Freshmen at Lewiston. This is
the second time that Bowdoin has lost
one of these races. From 1914 to
1917 Bowdoin won all eight races, and
in 1920 and 1921 each college has won
two, so that altogether Bowdoin has
won ten of the twelve races.
Although this year's Bowdoin
Freshman team had defeated the
Sophomores, and had had faster time
trials, Bates succeeded in winning in
time which was one second slower
than the time recorded by last year's
winning Bowdoin team. The time
last Wednesday was two minutes and
fifty-one seconds (each man running
four laps on a 72-yard track). Farley
and Dinsmore opened up a consider-
able lead on Beals and Worsnop re-
spectively, but Hardy and Robinson
were able to cut down this lead to
some extent, although not by any
means enough to win the race.
BOWDOIN MUSICAL CLUBS
(Continued from page 437)
low's "NC-4" march, and later on,
"Arabella" and the "Prince of India."
These numbers together with numer-
ous popular melodies played as en-
cores were given much applause.
A quintette composed of Sprince,
Black, Butler, Mitchell, and Turgeon,
sang "Rolling Down to Rio" and some
encores with especial success. Solos
by Mitchell and Sprince formed an im-
portant part of the program, and also
a number consisting of a series of
popular songs, played by Sprince,
Kimball, Claff, and Battison of the
Banjo Club.
The concert was concluded as usual
with "Bowdoin Beata" and "Phi Chi,"
by the combined clubs. After the con-
cert there was a short dance.
The Musical Clubs have thus far
had a very successful season, being
well received at all the places where
they have played. Much credit for
this success is due to the coaching of
Professor Wass.
This week, Saturday, the clubs are
to give their concert at the Hotel
Astor in New York. It is expected
that later on concerts will be given in
Portland, Lewiston, and Bath.

Brunswick concert:

The Gilbert Stuarts
(Continued from page 437)
son, the Honorable James Bowdoin,
and his first wife, and the portrait
of Phoebe Lord Upham, the wife of
the Bowdoin professor, they form one
of the notable collections of Gilbert
Stuart in this country.
The Rhode Island painter was in
his day, one of the greatest portrait
painters of the world. He rivalled
Gainsborough and Romney, and was
thought by many to surpass the great
Joshua Reynolds. He is, however,
more akin to Raeburn in his virile
style. He studied in London under
Benjamin West. There in England he
lived for quite a few years, having a
tremendously successful career. He
has painted portraits of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Munroe,
and John Quincy Adams, of George
III and George IV of England, of
Louis XVI of France, of Copley, West,
and Reynolds, and of Mrs. Siddons.
Two of these are the property of the
college, and the five other portraits
are worthy to be placed with them.
Bowdoin is indeed fortunate to have
such an excellent collection from his
work.
"Fauntleroy" To Be Played
At the Cumberland
Mrs. Frederick Ginoux who is
coaching and directing this play for
the Portland production and who did
notable dramatic work at Wellesley
will bring the cast to Brunswick,
April 7. Mr. Harold Oliphant, who
takes the part of the Earl of Dorin-
court, is head of the Portland Boys'
School and has played leading roles
in College Club plays. Miss Katrina
Schuyler is quite remarkable, Mrs.
Ginoux says, in the character of Lord
Fauntleroy. Her sister, Mrs. Thaxter,
takes the part of "Dearest," and
Robert Hale '10, of Mr. Hobbs, the
Grocer. Other parts are taken by
Mrs. McClintock and Miss Harrison,
Mr. Roger Snow, Mr. Ralph Hayward,
Mr. Donald Payson and William Ire-
land '16.
The scene is laid in New York and
in Dorincourt Castle, England. It is
known that Mrs. Burnett modeled her
little Lord after her own young son,
Vivian, who later when in Harvard
bore the sobriquet of "Dearest." Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Brown are interested
in the play and are giving generous
assistance to the committee who hope
Bowdoin may help to give the Port-
land friends a welcome.

Although the scores are unfavor-
able to Bowdoin, the fact must be
considered that the first match was
shot against a professional team and
that the later matches were against
colleges which began their season
earlier and consequently have had
much more practice. The Bowdoin
team has steadily improved and un-
doubtedly will better its scores in the
future. There is plenty of oppor-
tunity, however, for anyone in college
who is at all interested to join the
club and try for the team.
Special Assessment
(Continued from page 437)
Hockey deficit 570.00
Total $2,265.00
Football net profit 507.96
Total deficit $1,757.04
Following are the deficits of the
other activities outside of athletics:
Publishing Company $175.00
Y. M. C. A 100.00
Debating Council 50.00
$325.00
Total deficit of all activities . $2,082.04
This deficit might be materially
increased in case bad weather cuts
down the gate receipts in the coming
baseball season.
There are three ways to meet this
deficit:
First, by appealing to the Alumni.
The formation of an Alumni Athletic
Association was proposed by the Ath-
letic Council but did not meet with
the approval of the Alumni Council.
This plan having failed, the Athletic
Council proposed that a direct appeal
be made to the Alumni. The admin-
istration did not favor this because
of the endowment drive now in pro-
gress.
Second, by securing an appropria-
tion from the Alumni Fund for the
• support of athletics. The Athletic
Council endeavored to get some of this
endowment fund and learned that no
money for the support of student
activities was forthcoming from this
source.
Third, by a direct appeal to the stu-
dent body. While we realize this
means a hardship to many of us, it
seems to be the only alternative.
Under our present system the stu-
dent body has shouldered the respon-
sibility of financing its activities — we
must "carry on." Until another means
of securing funds is devised, which
we all hope will be realized next year,
we must strive to make student
managed activities a success. This
deficit must be wiped out or we have
failed. We must meet our present ob-
ligations and endeavor another year
to develop a better means of financing
our activities which we all realize is a
task of such magnitude that it de-
mands hard work, careful planning,
and sacrifice on the part of every un-
dergraduate. If this money is not
raised it will mean a curtailment of
college activities.
The only way to raise this money
is to increase the blanket tax by
means of a special assessment. The
Student Council, the Board of Man-
agers, and the Athletic Council have
tried in vain to relieve the under-
graduates of additional burden. As
a last resort the Student Council has
decided to present to the student body
the facts of the situation and a pro-
posal for a special assessment. Every
man should give this matter his care-
ful consideration. A. T.
Professor Woodruff Addresses
Augusta Rotary Club
Last Friday evening Professor
Woodruff addressed the Rotary Club
of Augusta on "Back to Greek Ideals."
Following is a brief excerpt from his
paper:
"The greatest service to the nation
is the making of men, a service to
which our schools and colleges are
loyally devoted. The college man gets
ahead because he can do what he had
never learned to do. Since the war
nothing remains as it was before. The
concentration of thought upon pre-
paredness, industrial and economical
as well as military has tipped the bal-
ances as never before to the practical
side of college training. This whole
country is honeycombed with restless-
ness and discontent, angry resentment
at real or imagined injustice. Instead
of unity there is division. Nobody is
satisfied with the present status and
everywhere there is dispute and con-
flict. Of this the U. S. Senate was
conscious for weary months by its
exasperatihgly futile discussions.
More alarming still is the invasion of
the freedom of free speech on grounds
that will not bear close investigation.
Is there any better objective for us
than the Greek conception of sym-
metry, the well-rounded development
of all the powers of body and mind?
"A sound strong body too, is re-
quisite for the best brain work. The
whole country needs to awake to the
fact that children's bodies as well as
their minds need education and train-
ing under expert supervision. After
the body the mind. The Greek love
of knowledge and of freedom were
combined in the endeavor to make rea-
son the guide of social life and to or-
ganize governments not by force but
by law. Solon said, 'A state is well
governed where the people obey the
rulers and the rulers obey the law.'
For the well being of society, for its
progress in intelligence and obedience
to law in freedom, political, religious
and economic, and in human brother-
hood we need to preserve and utilize
our Greek as well as our Christian in-
heritance and we can hardly do better
than make Socrates' prayer our own
by precept and example, 'Give me
beauty in the inward soul and may
the outer and inner man be a one.
May I count the wise man rich and
may my store of gold be such as only
the good, the man of perfect self con-
trol can bear.' A people that can sin-
cerely offer that prayer will find a
way to harmonize its conflicting in-
terests and live together in the spirit
of brotherhood."
Outing Club Meeting
Last Friday evening a meeting was
held in the debating room of Hubbard
Hall for the purpose of organizing
a much desired Outing Club. The
meeting was presided over by Young
'21. Professor Gross gave a few re-
marks in favor of the plan and a
letter by one of the alumni to Dean
Nixon was read which indorsed the
scheme highly.
The purpose of such a club would
be to encourage outdoor sports, such
440
BOWDOIN ORIENT
as rowing, skiing, skating, snowshoe-
ing, tramping, canoeing, swimming,
camping and fishing. A great amount
of interest was shown when the fact
was mentioned that this might possi-
bly be a substitute for gymnasium
classes.
At the close of the meeting a com-
mittee was appointed to further the
plans, consisting of Professor Gross,
Professor Bell, Haines '21, Lovell '21,
and Buker '21. It is planned to call
another meeting early in April.

Governor Bowdoin and
the Revolution
(From "The Boston Gazette," 1774.)
The following is an authentic copy
of a letter which was lately thrown
into the camp, with the following di-
rections:
"To the Officers and Soldiers of His
Majesty's Troops in Boston: —
"It being more than probable that
the King's standard will soon be
erected from rebellion breaking out in
this province, it is proper that you,
soldiers! should be acquainted with
the authors thereof, and of all the
misfortunes brought upon the prov-
ince; the following is a list of them,
viz.:
Samuel Adams,
James Bowdoin,
Dr. Thomas Young,
Dr. Benjamin Church,
Capt. John Bradford,
Josiah Quincy,
Maj. Nathaniel Barber,
William Mollineaux,
John Hancock,
William Cooper,
Dr. Chauncey,
Thomas Cushing,
Joseph Greenleaf, and
William Deming.
"The friends of your King and
country and of America, hope and ex-
pect from you, soldiers, the instant
rebellion happens you will put the
above persons immediately to the
sword, destroy their houses, and
plunder their effects; it is just that
they should be the first victims to
the mischief they have brought upon
us.
(Signed)
A friend to Great Britain and
America.
"P. S. — Don't forget those trumpet-
ers of sedition, the printers, Edes and
Gill and Thomus."
Resolution
Whereas: The due authorities have
engaged as coach of football at Bow-
doin College Mr. Fred Ostergren.
Whereas: These due authorities
have the moral support and co-oper-
ation of the entire student body and
faculty of Bowdoin College. And the
sentiment among the student body
and faculty is one of progress and
hearty support for its coaches and
teams and every Bowdoin man is
pledged to do his best in support and
co-operation.
Be it resolved: That the Student
Council of Bowdoin College as a rep-
resentative body knowing the condi-
tions, aware of the sentiment and
realizing the spirit of co-operation and
the importance of support, go on
record as unanimously sanctioning the
action of the due authorities in en-
gaging Mr. Ostergren. And that the
Student Council pledge its support
and the support of the entire student
body to aid, assist, and help in every
way Mr. Ostergren in his efforts, to
stand by and truly co-operate and co-
ordinate the sentiment and spirit of
work characteristic of Bowdoin Col-
lege.

The records of the old literary and
argumentative societies at Bowdoin,
the Athenaean and the Peucinian,
might lead one to think that they
were always grave and deliberative
bodies, for they debated such ques-
tions as, "Resolved, that infidels
should not hold public office." Their
lighter moments are revealed in the
poem printed below, "delivered before
the united societies of Bowdoin Col-
lege in August, 1854," as it is labelled
in the scrap-book of the late Edward
B. Merrill '57, and transcribed for us
by Mrs. Merrill.
It was Mr. Merrill, a prominent
member of the New York bar who, it
will be recalled, died only last fall,
who planted the English oak tree in
front of Memorial Hall, in memory of
his friend George William Curtis, one
of the leading literary and legal per-
sonalities of America in the seventies.
. . . Mr. Merrill's son has been
consul to Liberia since President
Roosevelt's time.
OH! SUMMER SEA
By Wm. B. Glazier, Esq.
Oh, Summer Sea, your murmuring waves are
singing
A song of sweetness in my listening ear —
Youth. Love, and Hope, that lulling strain is
bringin
Back to my heart in forms distinct and clear ;
Again the glorious visions of Life's morning
Rise on my sight and make the darkness flee.
Again upon thy shores, at daylight dawning
I walk with one beloved, Oh, Summer Sea
Your soft waves kiss her feet, and love to
linger
Upon the sand, where her light steps have
strayed ;
Now in thy tide she dips her sunny finger.
And now I feel it on my forehead laid
I sign thee with a sign, she softly murmurs,
And turns her blushing face away from me ;
Thou shalt be happy, Love, through many
And I will love thee ; Hear me, Summer Sea !
Thou heard'st the vow, oh gentle Sea of
Summer —
Thou heard'st it, laughing in the morning's
ray ;
Thou knew'st well, that Love, the earliest
comer,
Is very prone to make the shortest stay ;
.The sign dried up, beneath the rays of morn-
ing—
The vow formed wings, as fast and far to
flee-
Now, I prefer my sleep, at daylight's dawn-
ing
To wandering on thy shores, oh, Summer Sea!
To the kindness of Mrs. Merrill wc
are also indebted for the following
anecdotes of Judge William Gaslin '56.
who settled in Nebraska back in 1867.
and for many years administered
justice there in a manner unique and
long to be remembered.
AN ORIGINAL JUDGE.
No more unique figure is to be
found in the American judiciary than
Judge Gaslin of Nebraska, and many
are the stories told of this interesting
personality.
A 4 per cent, a month money-lender
had, through the instrumentality of a
small loan, secured about everything
a homesteader possessed except his
farm, but with all the payments the
loan refused to grow less. Finally
action was brought in court to en-
force payment of the alleged balance
by means of a judgment against the
man's farm. A jury had been secured
which understood its business, and in
spite of the instructions of Judge
Gaslin, which favored the defendant,
brought in a verdict for the plaintiff.
"Mr. Clerk," he said, "that verdict
is set aside. It takes thirteen men to
steal a man's farm in this court."
On another occasion a man who had
drifted over into Nebraska from Colo-
rado, who was not familiar with the
manner of administering justice on
the Nebraska side of the border, ap-
propriated a horse which he found
hitched to a post in front of a country
store. The horse happened to be the
property of Judge Gaslin. The thief
was captured, and later bound over
to await trial in the district court. A
few days after Judge Gaslin met a
fellow-Judge from another district,
and requested him, as a favor, to
come into his district, on a day speci-
fied, and sentence a horse thief, as
Gaslin said he felt a little delicacy in
sentencing a man for stealing his own
horse.
The fellow-jurist assented, and in-
cidentally inquired when the offender
was convicted.
"Oh, he isn't convicted yet," replied
Judge Gaslin, "but I'll 'tend to that
part of it."
And he did. — St. Louis Globe Demo-

H. S. White 17
Equals His Old Record
In Cambridge Meet
Last Saturday in the annual dual
meet between Oxford and Cambridga
Universities, Hal S. White '17 suc-
ceeded in equalling the Bowdoin Col-
lege record (which he has held for
four years) of five feet nine in the
running high jump. He finished sec-
ond in the event, which was won by
a Cambridge man at five feet ten.
The final result of the meet was a tie,
the score being five to five.
Last year White won this event
with a height of five feet seven, after
having won his "blue" in a special
meet at Oxford with a mark of five
feet eight.
Before the Cambridge meet this
year White tied for first at five feet
eight in the Oxford University Ath-
letic Association Track Meet. He
has been doing graduate work this
year and last in English literature,
as a Longfellow Scholar from Bow-
doin. _
GOLF TOURNAMENT
This spring Bowdoin is to be rep-
resented by a golf team. Whether
this team is to be informal or recog-
nized as representing a minor sport
is still undecided, but we have reason
to hope it will be the latter. At any
rate, we can look forward to a suc-
cessful season, with a good deal of
sport. There is considerable interest
in golf among the students, and keen
competition can be expected.
The plan, as now outlined, is to hold
a match-play, no handicap tourna-
ment, immediately after the spring
vacation. There will be an entrance
fee of twenty-five cents, and prizes
will be offered, a medal for low score
in the qualifying round, and a cup
for the winner of the match-play.
The tournament will be conducted
as follows : On April 7, 8, 9, 10 there
will be an eighteen hole, medal-play,
qualifying round, all scores to be wit-
nessed by opponent. The sixteen low
scores will qualify. The matches will
be played during the week of April
11, and the finals will be played April
19, Patriots Day. These matches are

OBDitorial
This issue brings to an end the
fiftieth volume of the "Orient." It
also marks the completion of the work
of this year's board of editors.
We shall not attempt here more
than to recognize simply and briefly
the turnover of the managerial and
editorial functions. The fiftieth
volume of the "Orient" has been the
first since the war to operate under
really normal conditions. The more
or less unsettled circumstances of the
S.A.T.C. regime have disappeared, and
a better planned and more established
program has been in effect.
Of interest to the readers of the
"Orient" has been the adoption of a
new form, conforming more to the
newspaper than to the old magazine
type. This innovation has met with
some adverse criticism by alumni, but.
on the whole, we think it has been
well received. It has resulted in
economy of space and is considered
by many to be more readable than
previous issues.
The managing editor has had this
year a splendid corps of assistants in
the Freshman "heelers," perhaps the
best in some years. To this, com-
bined with the zealous and untiring
activity of the managing editor, may
be attributed the "newsy" character
of our current "Orients."
The editorials have, in traditional
manner, aimed to interpret under-
graduate opinion. They have aspired,
too, to suggest improvements along
the general aspects of college activi-
ties.
We wish to emphasize the fact that
the "Orient" is dependent for success
upon the active support of students
and alumni. Not only have contribu-
tions failed to be forthcoming from
the student body at large, but, gen-
erally speaking, even the senior and
junior members of the "Orient" board
have failed to conform to the regula-
tion of writing at least one editorial
for each volume.
In this connection we wish to thank
the Student Council for its co-oper-
ation— we hope in the future even
more communications would originate
from that body, which should be truly
representative of undergraduate
opinion.
A few communications have come
from alumni, but not nearly enough.
We want you, undergraduates and
alumni, to fee] that this is you paper
and to make it yours.
From alumni, too, must come the
major burden of the financial support
of the publication. For the facts of
the case, we refer you to the business
manager's statements in recent issues.
We are confident that these facts, if
driven home, will create a larger and
more active circulation.
In conclusion, we have but to wish
the incoming board the best of suc-
cess in editing the initial volume of
the second semi-centennial of the
"Orient." Let us pledge them our
hearty support, one and all!
The "Professor" of
the 80th Legislature
In the "Lewiston Journal" for last
Saturday there was an article con-
cerning Professor Woodruff and the
State Legislature, part of which is
printed below.
What Legislators do after they get
together under the big dome at the
Capitol may be all "Greek" to a good
many of the unsophisticated Solons,
but not so to Professor Frank E.
Woodruff who knows Greek from Al-
pha to Omega, has sojourned in
Greece and knows all about Greeks
and Grecian literature.
Professor Woodruff has been im-
parting a knowledge of Greek and
Grecian literature to students for 38
years, for four years at the Andover
Theological Seminary, and for some
34 years at Bowdoin College. For
three years he was a lecturer on Gre-
cian literature at the Bangor Theo-
logical Seminary.
The coming to the Maine Legisla-
ture has been particularly pleasant
for Professor Woodruff who was im-
mediately thrown into contact with
many of his former students, among
them no less distinguished than Gov-
ernor Baxter, his brother, Senator
Rupert H. Baxter of Bath, and Sena-
tor Frank G. Farrington of Augusta,
a prospective gubernatorial candidate.
Professor Woodruff has been so
busy all his life, in an academic way,
that he has had little time to devote
to the affairs of government. At
three-score and five years he is hold-
ing his first political office and he is
the first Bowdoin College professor to
illumine with his presence the council
halls of the State in generations.
It is almost needless to state his
political faith for every lawmaker
that has hailed from Brunswick for
a generation has been a Democrat.
Professor Woodruff up to 1912 was a
so-called Independent, and be has al-
ways kept abreast of the times in cur-
rent and political affairs. He was sup-
erintendent of the public schools in
Brunswick for four years.
"It almost seems like sitting down
in the class-room and reviewing the
lesson, I see so many of my former
students and Bowdoin associates in
and around the Legislature," says
Professor Woodruff.
BOWDOIN ORIENT

"I'm serving on two quite innocent
committees, Library and Temper-
ance," says Professor Woodruff. "But
I escaped landing on the Federal Re-
lations Committee upon which they
have safely stowed away seven of
the sixteen Democrats in the House.
Professor Woodruff is an ardent be-
liever in ex-Pres. Woodrow Wilson
and his politics, and an uncompromis-
ing champion of the League of Na-
tions.
"It seems to me that the Repub-
lican attitude on the League of Na-
tions was forced upon the party by
the exigencies of the political cam-
paign, and that now, having assumed
the responsibility of directing our in-
tercourse with foreign nations, the
party will swing gracefully back to
political sanity, as soon as ft finds the
way clear to do so."

doin Medical School in 1905. He has
had a varied and extensive medical

where he served for a while as senior
assistant surgeon. Later he was for
nearly seven years chief surgeon at
the home at Los Angeles. He was
called into the World War on May 19,
1917, as major, and was sent to Fort
Douglass, Ltah, as post surgeon.
Later he was regimental surgeon with
the 20th United States Infantry and
then became assistant division
surgeon on the staff of Major General
Wood of the 10th Division. He was
assistant commanding officer at the
United States base hospital at Fort
Riley, and one of the largest base hos-
pitals in the United States, with 3,600
beds. He next became post surgeon
at Fort Shafter in Honolulu, and dur-
ing the last of his service in the
World War he was a post surgeon in
the Air Service, located at Ross Field,
Arcadia, Calif. — Portland Express.
1914 — In the "Weekly Review" for

to be match-play, without handicap,
but everyone is requested to play the
full eighteen holes in each match, as
the team will probably be chosen from
the medal score of the contestants.
Later in the season a general
handicap tournament will be held, but
this first one will be for the purpose
of choosing a team. The sixteen men
qualifying will elect a captain and
manager unless the college recognizes
golf as a minor sport. A seven man
team will be chosen, and we hope
matches can be arranged with Port-
land Country Club, Brunswick Golf
Club, Augusta Country Club, and
possibly others, such as Rockland,
Rockport, Portsmouth, N. H., and
others. We also hope to be able to
send one man to the New England
Inter-Collegiates.
The success of this sport depends
on the number of men interested
enough to come out and play. We
have set the tournament far enough
ahead to give you all a chance for a
little practice. We want a large en-
try list for this first event, so as to
be as fair in our choice of a team as
possible. Remember that there are
to be prizes awarded both for this
tournament and for the handicap one
later on, so get busy and dust off
your clubs. Get out now and start
playing, and hand in your entry to
either Toyokawa or Pickard before
April 7. Lets see if we can't have
a real team this year.
