Legislative Committee on ?
Education Visits Auburn
Members Get First Hand
Information on College
Needs
Visitors are Impressed
by Auburn Spirit
Auburn, Ala., May 1 (Special).—
Members of the joint legislative recess
committee on education of the
Alabama Legislature looked over Auburn
this week, gathered a wealth
of information and facts concerning
its needs, and without making
definite committment, in line with
an established policy, indicated
that they stood squarely behind
the movement for the highest possible
development of Auburn along
with other parts of Alabama's educational
system.
Representative Culver of Gadsden
struck one of the key notes of sentiment
of the committee when he
people of Alabama are in the most
receptive mood for an educational
rennaisance of any people in his
knowledge. He said he spoke for
the chief executive of the state in
urging the students of Auburn to
go back to their homes and put
forth their every effort toward
crystillizing the spirit for an educational
system in Alabama which
will rank with any state in the
Union. Mr. Culver is a graduate of
Auburn, Class '03, and one of the
leading exponents for an adequate
educational system in Alabama.
The committee, four of them,
Adams, Hudgens, Culver and Walton,
went to Camp Hill for an educational
rally, while the other four
left Auburn for Livingston to inspect
the Normal school there.
At Convocation and in informal
sessions each member of the committee
expressed himself or herself
as favoring a constructive program
for Auburn as well as other
state institutions. Mrs. J. G. Wil-kins
of Selma, Chairman of the committee;
Senators J. C. Inzer, Gadsden;
S. M. Adams, Chilton; Shorter
C. Hudgens, Crenshaw; Will 0.
Walton, LaFayette; Lewis Bowen,
Birmingham; G. J. Hubbard, Troy,
as well as C. A. Verbeck, Gadsden,
all spoke here at convocation exercises,
each one pointing out the key
note of the committee's observation
that there are great needs
along educational lines in Alabama
and that these needs are going to
be presented in a constructive program
prepared by the committee
and that ultimately the program
must be placed before the people
of Alabama. On every hand in
both public addresses and id' private
conversation members of the
committee indicated that after their
tour throughout the state they fully
appreciated the state's great educational
needs and that Alabama
must spend money on its system to
bring it to equal rank with the system
in any state in the Union.
Members of the committee were
given a rousing reception by students
at the convocation exercises.

The Auburn Players, college dramatic
club at Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, will close the season with
the presentation of "The Prince
Chap" Monday evening, May 14, in
Langdon Hall. The play will be
given in conjunction with other
special commencement exercises.
Presentation of "The Prince
Chap" will mark the culmination
of perhaps the most successful sca-son^
in the history of the Auburn
Players, otherwise known as the
Dramatic Club. This club was organized
in 1919, succeeding the o)jd
organization known as the Aubm'n
Footlights. Under the direction^ of
Prof. L. E. Saidla, of the English
department, the Auburn Pliiyers
made their debut in Broadhur.st's
clever farce, "What Happened to
Jones/' The presentation made, a
big hit with students, as fwell as
with citizens of both Auburn and
Opelika, and as a result, two other
plays, Shakespeare's '-Twelfth
Night" and Goldsmith's "She Stoops
to Conquer," followed, tile latter
"Flashes of Action"
Presented In Auburn
Officers of John H. Wells,
Post No. 36, American
Legion
The presentation of the American
Legion's film, "Flashes of Action,"
in Langdon Hall on April 25
not only interested the spectators
by the actual reproduction of battle
scenes, hut also recalled to them
the efforts and ideals of the nation
during the anxious months of 1917
and 1918. It revealed again the
value of team work and organization,
the power that resides in subordination
of self and a common
purpose, the pictures of doughboys
going over the top at the zero-hour,
rising from shell pits to hurl hand-grenades
into the enemy trenches,
and actually advancing through
bursting shrapnel thrilled and inspired
.as examples of fortitude
and bravery have thrilled and inspired
free men and women since
the love of liberty glowed in human
hearts.
The film was presented under
the auspices of the local post, John
H. Wills, No. 36, which is composed
largely of Auburn students. The I

and Swartout's "The Arrival

success. This year's productions
were "The Prince Chap" arid "Rob-ina
in Search of a Husband," by
Jerome K. Jerome. \
Recognition of the high | grade
work of the Auburn Players was
given in the establishment lu^e of
the National Dramatic fraternity
of Theta Alpha Phi, an honor organization.
Officers of the Aubutn
Players announced recently tbat
plans arc already being formulated
for the next season. A new curtain

Monday afternoon the Tigers met
the North Carolina Tarheels in Montgomery
and as had been the case in
the two previous games with Georgia
Tech, the contest resulted in a no
decision affair, the score being thre<j
all.
Slick Moulton and the Tarheels'
star hurler, Ferrabee, engaged in a
pitchers' battle after each team had
scored- a brace of counters in the
first inning. An error after two outs
in the first made it possible for
North Carolina's runs in the first, but
the Tigers came in strong in their
half of this frame and knotted the
score on Griff in'sjgValk. and Sterling's
long circiit clout to left. Big
,, JpS'-'-s aAve was "one of* the longer
ever seen in the bowl.
In the fourth Auburn untied the
count when Webb, Moulton and Gibson
hit in succession. This seemed
to be all that was needed to sew up
the game but three singles and a
sacrifice in the ninth tied the count
again and an extra inning failed to
decide the winner. The game was a
thriller and was a good display of
the quality of ball the Tigers have
been exhibiting all season. Slick
Moulton seemed to find himself completely
as he did not walk a single
man during the game.

Auburn 8, North Carolina 4. Stole*
Only one more foe of the diamond
is to be met this season and the
team is going strong and still in the
running. The final test of the year
comes with our old friends and foe
the Georgia Bulldog as the invader.
Two games this week and two next,
the first duo will be in Auburn and
Montgomery, respectively, and the
two finals in Athens, the native
haunts of the canines.
To date Auburn has only lost one
series, which was to Vanderbilt, who
in turn lost a two-game series to the
Bulldogs. It goes to show that Georgia
is truly a first rate contender of
southern honors, but if the Tigers
can annex the series it will in a large
measure wipe out the sting of
Vandy's thrusts and place Auburn in
a position with a good claim to the
honors.
It's going to be a real clash when
Coaeh Donahue's pill maulers go up
against the pitchers of the Athens
bunch. Fred Sale, pitching ace of the
Bulldogs, came through with a perfect
**we a?ains^''OU^^r£!i>Tjj^2i
Monday but it is not likely that any
such feats will occur against the hard
hitting Plainsmen. At- any rate It is
a crucial series and will be watched
with interest all over the south.
Saturday afternoon Coach Hut-sell's
wing-footed array will he met
by the colorful crew from Georgia
Tech. The meet will be the first
inter-collegiate setto on the new cinder
track that has been recently constructed
around Drake field.
Tech has one of the outstanding
track teams of the south and the
dope favors them to cop the big end
of the point scoring Saturday but the
Tiger tracksters have been improving
their work constantly and expect to
place first in several of the many
events. In the big southern relay
event at Atlanta last Saturday, Tech
placed second only to Mississippi A.
& M. and are expected to be strong
contenders for the high honors in the
S, I. C. meet in Montgomery on May
18.
In Welch and Welchel Tech has
two of the outstanding stars in the
country at pole vaulting and the java-lin
throw, respectively. In Bobby
Lock Auburn has the best pole vault-er
ever produced here and the blonde
lad has a chance to better Welch in
their event. Pippin and Williams
are both consistent twenty-one foot
jumpers and it will be interesting to
see which can do the better Saturday,
at least Pippin has a good
chance to better his rival.
Marcus, high point scorer of the
Auburn squad, is going goed in both
the hurdles and high jump and is expected
to make it hot for those competing
in these. Jimmy Brewster, of
football game, will be the Tech representative
for high jumping honors.
Frank Stockleberg will pit his wind
against the Jackets in the endurance
contests along with the others and it
would not be surprising to see the
lanky lad leading the field at the
close. This Panama product recently
succeeded in lowering the previous
mile record, made by Harvey in 1915,
from 4:45 to 4:32 1-4.
Regardless of the winner it will he
interesting to see the cinder artists
in competition against Auburn's old
foe Saturday afternoon.

LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE'S VISIT
Members of the joint legislative recess committee on education
of the Alabama Legislature have come and gone. As the direct result
of this memorable visit close observers of the situation a:
Auburn believe that the distance to the goal of Greater Auburn has
been materially reduced. This was the campus talk the latter part
of this week and it was based on observations made here last Tuesday
and conversations authentically reported.
Having given less than twenty-four hours' notice, the legislative
committee, which is making a tour of the entire state in a firsthand
search for information and facts concerning the state's educational
system, arrived in Auburn Monday evening at 7:50 o'clock.
At 8 o'clock the distinguished visitors were the guests of President
Dowell and administrative heads of the college at supper. Here
an informal discussion concerning the purpose of the visit and the
needs of Auburn was held in round table fashion. The following
morning the members of the committee began their labors long before
8 o'clock. There was a round of tours, visits, consultations,
executive sessions, review of the Reserve Officers Training Corps,
collecting of information and data, and sandwiched in two convocation
exercises in Langdon Hall."
It was in the convocation exercises that the legislators "spoke
out in meeting." It was here that members of the committees went
on record individually and collectively for a program of improvement
of the state's educational system from the bottom to the top
to the end that Alabama, wealthy in material things, may be rich
in the quality of its citizenship through adequate educational opportunity
for all.
There was no mincing of words. Charlie Culver, leader in
the Alabama legislature, member of the recess committee on education,
and Auburn alumnus, class '03, following a characteristic
Tiger greeting which shook the walls of old Langdon, sounded in
eloquent terms the keynote of the whole situation. Said he:
"We have been up and down this state in a searo*. for the facts
concerning our educational status and I am herte to tell vou today
«sy , fct •*fratJfec--f»!ftfrlg ©fyftrtS grc?V^t:''.e.a,.^'V the most reqopfive m<^od
for an educational rennaisancr of any people that I have ever
known of I bring to you a message from the chief executive of
the state, Governor Brandon, urging you boys when you return
home to put forth your best efforts in the matter of crystihzmg the
spirit and sentiment for a determined stand for an adequate educational
system for Alabama. This committee is going to propose
what we believe to be a constructive program which, if carried
out, should place Alabama among the leading states of the country,
educationally, but this committee cannot put this program through;
neither can ihe legislature put it through; it must come from the
people of this state."
There was also reference to Auburn, favorable reference, reference
which indicated clearly the hold that Auburn has upon
citizens in general, including members of the recess committee.
Nor were these remarks made exclusively by»Representative Culver.
There was Mrs. Wilkins, of Selma, Senator Inzer, a graduate
of Howard College; Representative Will Walton, graduate of Birmingham-
Southern; Colonel Hubbard, the Trojan, who holds a degree
from the University of Alabama; Hudgens, Bowen, Adams, one
and all, frankly and sincerely paid tribute to the Auburn spirit and
indicated they stood squarely on a program which would mean a
real Greater Auburn and a greater educational system throughout
the entire State.
The attitude of the recess committee as expressed by its members
while in Auburn is the most encouraging thing recorded recently
in the .discussions of the proposed improvement of the state's
educational system. This committee has gone on record for a program
which should place Alabama in the first rank educationally.
Will the legislature follow the lead of its committee? Will the people
at large, who pay the taxes, follow the lead of its legislature.'
Auburn men, remember Charlie Culver's admonition when you return
home this summer. Alabama is going forward or backward.
Much depends upon you. jf

THE SUMMER SCHOOL
Seventy Instructors — One-Hundred
and Fifty High School,
College and Professional
Courses
The eleventh session of the Auburn
Summer School comprises the
twelve weeks, June 4-August 24th,
the first term of six weeks closing
July 13th. This session bids fair
to be the most successful ever held
at Auburn, especially from the
standpoint of the number attending,
the number of college courses
offered and standard of Work. It
is contemplated that the Summer
Session in every respect be the
fourth quarter of the college with
practically all courses being offered.
In addition to a large number
of our college faculty as members
of the Summer School faculty, men
and women from other portions of
the State who rank high in the
teaching profession have accepted
positions on the faculty and besides
these at least two other educators
of national fame will lecture on
secondary education during three
weeks of the first term. Dr. George
S. Counts, Professor of Secondary
Education of Yale University, will
be here June llth-22nd, and w 11
give three recitations daily on secondary
school work. He will be
followed for one week, June i-fifh-
29th, by Dr. David Snedden of Columbia
University, who will lecture
three times daily, in addition to the
convocation hour, on secondary
education.
PROFESSIONAL ADVANCEMENT
The Summer Session offers an
exceptional opportunity to those
persons who desire to advance
themselves in general culture or
professionally, work being offered
for the issuance, extension and renewal
of teachers' certificates.
A large number of professional ,
courses, including methods in primary,
grammar grades and secondary
work are scheduled, together
with work in Observation and Prac-emic
and professional courses offered,
students will have an opportunity
to meet and hear some of the
most prominent men of this and
other states, either in the classroom
or in special lectures in Langdon
Hall.
APPEAL TO HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS
The Summer Session should make
a strong appeal to high school students
who desire to complete the
work for college entrance by studying
in our high school division
where practically all courses in the
high school curriculum will be offered
under capable instructors. It
is possible for a student to save at
least a year's time in his high
school career and to shorten his
college career one calendar year by
attending a few summer sessions.
APPEAL TO COLLEGE STUDENTS
The work has an appeal to college
students with a vision because
by attending three Summer Quarters
a student can shorten his four-year
college period to three years
and in this way get out into the
productive activities of life a year
earlier. Students who are deficient
or irregular in their college work
whether due to (1) failures, (2)
loss of work due to change of
course, (3) a shortage in quality
points, or (4) shortage on work as
a penalty for excessive absences,
will have an opportunity to make
these up in the summer.
HOME ECONOMICS
For young ladies the work in
Home Economics should be of special
interest. An unusually attractive
list of courses is offered under
most capable experts, including
two regular teachers in addition to
members of the Extension Division.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Perhaps three-fourths of the results
for male teachers are for persons
who can instruct in physical
education along, with some other
subject, such as mathematics or
science. It is well known that
jtuuiig rnewTfualiweo. 10 ctiion hugu
.school athletics receive much bet-teri
salaries than those who are not
capable of coaching high school
teams. The Summer Session offers
unusual advantages to students in
physical education courses, particularly
the courses in coaching of
football, baseball and basket ball
scheduled under Coaches Hutsell
and Wilson.
The old-time method of farming
four or five months a year and then
lying off the job in idleness during
the remainder of the year no longer
prevails. Science has cast this practice
into the background. It
is exceedingly wasteful from every
angle. School people are also
realizing that it is wasteful not
to spend ten or twelve months in
the schoolroom instead of eight or
nine. It is economical from the
standpoint of using the buildings
and equipment, and most of all, it
is highly sensible for the student
himself to compress his period of
preparation into the shortest time
possible, provided his work can be
well done. The Summer Quarter
enables the ambitious student to
complete his college course one or
two years earlier than in the traditional
time required. In this way
he can go into the field of production,
thereby economizing on his
own time and putting himself on a
living basis earlier as well as increasing
production in his state
and thereby benefiting humanity.
RECORD ENROLLMENT
Fourteen hundred students enrolled
last summer and this number
will very probably be greatly increased
during the present session.
For a reasonable outlay of money
and time a student can attend either
the six or twelve weeks term.
The wisdom of attending summer
school can not be doubted and it
is incumbent upon every ambitious
student to think over in a very careful
way the advisability of his <1OT
ing summer school work. He owes
it to himself to utilize his so-called
vacation period to the best advan-
Most students spend at least
family. To |t$ose students who
know that they have not a desirable
job for1 the summer, the summer
school should make a very
strong appea. Students who are
interested in the Summer Session
should write the Director regarding
their woik. He will be glad to
give fuller information regarding
courses, cost of attending, and
other matters pertaining to the
work. I

Boyle (1627-1691) proved more
"practical" by testing matter, discovering
its composition and then
drawing scientific conclusions that
could thereafter'be usefully and
honestly applied.' Alchemists con-jecturedanddied;
he experimented
.and lived.
Using the air pump Boyle undertook
a "theoretical" but scientific
experimental study of the
atmosphere and discovered that
it had a "spring" in it, or in other
words that it could expand. He
also established the connection
between the boiling point of water
and atmospheric pressure, a very
"theoretical" discovery in his day
but one which every steam engineer
now applies.
He was the first to use the term
"analysis" in the modern chemical
sense, the first to define an
element as a body which cannot
be subdivided and from which
compounds can be reconstituted.
Boyle's work has not ended.
Today in the Research Laboratories
of the General Electric
Company it is being continued.
Much light has there been shed
on the chemical reactions that
occur in a vessel in which a nearly
perfect vacuum has been produced.
One practical result of this work
is the vacuum tube which plays an
essential part in radio work and.
roentgenology.

Brown Pays Tribute
to Auburn Men
Dr. Charles A. Brown, associate
superintendent of schools of Birmingham,
addressed the Auburn students
at conviction. He spoke in a
very complimentary manner concerning
the work being done here. He
also said that the schools of the Birmingham
district were greatly indebted
to Auburn for the large number
of former -students who are at
present leaders in educational work
in Jefferson County.
On the other hand the speaker said
that Auburn was also indebted to
the city of Birmingham for the work
of such men as Victor Hanson,
Charles DeBardeleben and Erskine
Ramsey for their services rendered
in the promotion of the enlargement
program of the institution. According
to Dr. Brown, there are at present
167 students enrolled at Auburn,
who are graduates of Birmingham's
four high schools.
The speaker paid tribute to every
. branch of learning taught at Auburn,
pointing out the results of the engineering,
the agricultural development,
architectural graduates and
pharmaceutical men and their work
in Birmingham and other parts of the
country. He said that the leadership
of America must come from
such men as are being turned out at
Auburn.
Dr. Brown is an alumnus of Auburn,
having graduated here in 1892,
and later took a post course in engineering,
though his work since
leaving the institution has been along
educational lines rather than technical
industry.
Memorial Exercises Held
in Langdon Hall
Memorial Day f«r the Confederate
dead was fittingly observed in Lang-im
Hall April 26. President Sprignt
\&«r;oil--p*e9**«d, calling, attention to
the spirit of the day and introducing
the principal speaker, the Honorable
W. B. Bowling, congressman ,from the
Fifth Alabama district. The exercises
were held under the auspices
of the Auburn Memorial Associativa
of which Mrs. B. B. Ross is president.
Congressman Bowling said the saddest
picture in all history was tha
home-coming of the Confederate soldiers
after Appomattox. But, he
added, as in battle these men were
the bravest of the brave, in peace,
with wreck and ruin on every hand,
they were real statesmen who succeeded
in bringing order out of
chaos.
The speaker, touching on present
day problems, entered a plea for the
return of the principle of state's
rights so bravely defended by the
south as against what he termed the
present day tendency of centralizing
things at Washington. He also issued
a stern warning against unrestricted
immigration.
Other features of the program was
a reading by MUs Margaret Lane and
a musical number by Mrs. Norman
McLeod. Following the Langdoi:
Hall services, the infantry battalic"
of the Reserve Officers' Training
Corps fired volleys and sounded tap;:
over the graves of the Confederal-i
dead in the Auburn cemetery.
«rn smfTax, honeysuckle, bridle-wreath,
ferns and other spring flowers.
Good music was furnished by
a local six-piece orchestra. Mesdames
Wallace Tidmore and Kirk Newell
presided over the punch bowls, which
were frequented throughout the entire
evening.
The dance was featured by a beautiful
rendition of the "Dream Girl of
P. K. A." by Mrs. Newell, assisted
by Mrs. Tidmore at the piano.
Quite a large crowd enjoyed this
annual hospitality of the fraternity.
Several hundred of Auburn's more
socially inclined young men along
with the following young ladies were
present: Misses Martha O'Neal, Mat-tie
Mae Allen, Mary Haden, Verdelia
Simmons, Edith Moody, Jamie What-ley,
Effie Tuttle, Margaret Tuttle,
Oiline Tuttle, Effie Williams, Leta

The following officers were elected
for the coming year: President,
Margaret Wilbur; first vice president,
Dorothy Anderson; secretary, Geor«-

The women students of Auburn,
under the efficient direction of Miss
Zoe Dobbs, social director of A. P. 1..
have tried out student government
and find it works admirably. There
are a number of good arguments in
favor of student government but the
best argument for any new project Is
that "it works,' and that is just the
argument the girls have for student
government. We hope that the boys
will "follow suit."

And it came to pass that when
Ben Ali had become wise in the
knowledge of the grade schools that
ihis father sent a runner into the
fields to seek him and to send Ben
Ali unto him. And when, lo he had
arrived, his father spoke unto him
saying,. I have held counsel with the
Elders and we deem it wise that you
go to a far country to become wise
in the sciences that the wise ones of
our own country know little of. Ben
Ali was a precocious child and it was
not his aim to go through life in
company with the ignorant, but instead
he wished to mingle with those
pondered long before he decided
who were versed in the sciences. He
pondered long before he decided
which temple of wisdom he would attend.
And after he had decided upon
the temple that he would attend,
great was the rejoicing in the house
of his father.
„?Iis mother desired that he should
appear equally as well as the other
scholars, so she went unto of the
bazarrs and purchased many measures
of linen of the finest weave.
And for his heavier clothing, she procured
course jeans. And when B«*n
Ali was clothed in the attire cut by
the smart tailors of the land, he
shown forth resplendent even as the
morning star.
Thus attired he set forth on his
journey to a far country, even unto
Auburn. On his journey he saw
many strange sights and marveled at
them. When he came unto the city
of learning, he heard strange howls
late into the night, and the scholars
spoke in voices unknown to him. Bun
Ali being an apt pupil became accustomed
to his new abode and he
likewise began to utter strange
shrieks and speak in the language of
the Bull. He also went unto the
postoffice at al< hours of the day.
Ben Ali studied diligently and
great -was the rejoicing in the house
of his father when a messenger left
words of the great strides that Ben
Ali was making in the sciences.
All went well until the spring arrived.
Then the wise ones held council
and said: "Lo, we will have the
scholars to arrive within the halls ere
the dials registers more than ton
minutes after the hour". These
things were unknown to Ben Ali, and
so one day he came into the halls ^t
eleven after, and was marked absent
although he was among those nresent.
He marveled at his ability to be
there and yet not to be there at tho
same time. Thereafter he ran from
one hall unto the other, the sun beaming
down upon his back and his books
waxing heavily in his arms.
So, things continued in this wise
until one of the wise oass gave a
lengthy quiz at the end of the hour.
Ben Ali cried aloud, saying "I have
not the time to answer th sse questions".
But the wise one said unto
•aim • "you have full ten minutes to
/
answer six questions, an 1 that is
ample time for one who ha* pondered
over, the text." And heeding i.ie
words of the wise one, Ben All labored
hard to get through. Oi turnine
in his paper lie went straightway unto
another hall at a swift pace, but
lo, he was late and so his name was
listed among those not present. Aiul
on the morrow he was likewise rmtr.<-
ed absent for the same reaso:i. Tins
sorely vexed Ben Ali and he "labored
hard to conceive a plan by whicn he
might be able to get thither and yov.
in due time. And Ben Ali was sore
at heart knew not what to do until
there came a day when he saw the
track team clad in their scanty attire.
On the morrow Ben Ali went unto
his classes in the attire of a runner.
His appearance met with disfavor
on the part of the executive
council and so he was called in to
confer with them. They said "you
have lowered the dignity of the college
by wearing scant raiment so no
longer shall you be numbered among
the scholars. Ben Ali swore a mighty
oath and strode .from the halls with
a heavy tread.
Having told his father his sorrowful
story, he went straightway to the
swine herd where he tends swine to
this day.

"Say, bud, what's your occupation

Blazing Trails for Progress
Curiosity may have killed the well-known
cat, but it has been underneath most of the
hard-won developments that lastingly benefit
mankind. Once in a great while, perhaps, accident
has been the spark that has lighted
the torch of achievement; but much more
frequently •*- always, nearly — accomplishment,
especially in the field of science and invention,
has grown out of the%insatiable curiosity that
seems to be the heritage of us all. Mankind
wants to know — and is slowly finding out.
Curiosity, the complement of imagination,
knows no appeasement.
This is, however, no essay on the vague subject
of idle curiosity. There is.a vast difference
between that and the organized, untiring, well-planned
activity which, as an integral part of
Westinghouse organization, searches continually
for the answers to problems which intelligent
speculation sets up. This, if you please, is
curiosity in its highest and most intensified
form; and it is a fundamental thing in the Westinghouse
operations.
Research, as we know it, is the guiding hand
upon the purely creative activities of business.
Constantly it brings to light new aspects of
known laws, new visions of laws yet to be uncovered.
But the search for these is not haphazard
nor whimsical; it is organized and planned
as carefully and thoroughly as any other business
activity. Whether chemical, electrical, or
physical, it is engineering; and it follows engineering
methods and tradition.
Many great engineers have been wholly at ft
loss in this specialized activity. For research,
in a sense, reverses the usual order. Its endeavor
is to discover unknown laws in the known
facts—a thing which is quite at variance with
ordinary engineering practice. Yet there is a
fine type of engineering mind which finds its
great opportunity in this kind of work. And to
that type of mind, and that type of man, research
beckons with an unmistakable hand.
It is engineering pioneering, it blazes trails for
progress, to new triumphs, in a wilderness into
whose outskirts man has scarcely penetrated.

BERGTHOLD TO HEAD
Y. M. C. A. IN SOUTH
(Continued from Page 1)
United States, but many expressed
their personal regrets at having him
leave Auburn.
Someone said Auburn is to be
congratulated on having its Episcopal
minister, Rev. McDowell, elevated
to the leadership of his
church in Alabama, and on having
its Y. M. C. A. secretary elevated to
the leadership of the Y. M. C. A. in
the South.
At this annual banquet of
Friendship Council served by
Baptist ladies, each of the Y. M
A. committee chairmen reported
the work of his committee
year. The committees and chairmen
a r e :
L. W. Gardner—Athletics.
R. B. Reynolds—Bible Study.
J. R. Davis—Church and Sunday
School.
R. M. Reaves—Social.
M. M. Collins—Handbook.
L. T. Dyer—Religious Meetings.
Judge Lawson, in giving up the
Colonel's pin of the Friendship
Council, expressed his appreciation
of the cooperation which the
other fellows have given him this
year and said that he hoped for
greater things next year in the
Friendship Council. Mr. Bergthold
received the Colonel's insignia from
Lawson, and before presenting it
to our new Colonel and President,
L. H. Tapscott, explained that the
two rubies in its setting represent
the two majors, and the 20 pearls
represent the 20 captains in the
Friendship Council. This pin is
handed down from each presidenl
of the Y. M. C. A. to his successor.
L. H. Tapscott, president for next
year, expressed his appreciation
for being elected to that honor. He
said that he felt it to be the greatest
honor he has received so far and
asked for cooperation of all the
students in making the Y. M. C. A.
work grow next year for the good
of Auburn.
MEMBERS GET FIRST
HAND INFORMATION
and old Langdon Hall shook with
the thunder of Tiger yells as
each speaker was introduced by
President Dowell. Representative
Culver, of Gadsden, better known
to Auburn men as "Charlie," of the
class of '03, was the recipient of a
special ovation when he arose to
speak.
The convocation exercises were
sandwiched in between a series of
tours of the physical properties of
the college, executive hearings, informal
conversations and a military
review by the Reserve Officers
Training Corps late in the afternoon.
The committee, in keeping
with its plan of procedure, began
work early in the morning and
labored up to train time Tuesday
afternoon.
The members of the committee
arrived in Auburn Monday night at
7:50 o'clock. At 8 o'clock the distinguished
visitors were the guests
of President Dowell and administrative
officers at the Shikoku Tea
Room. Here after supper an informal
discussion of the purpose
of the visit and of Auburn's needs
was held. President Dowell and
members of the college faculty, including
Doctors Cary, Ross, Petrie,
Duncan, and Misses Harris and
Dobbs, spoke of the needs of the
college, while members of the legislative
committee responded, explaining
the purpose of the visit,
methods of gathering information
et cetera. Members of the committee
emphasized that the committee
was in no sense a "smelling committee"
but a delegation of legislators
sent out to search out the facts
concerning the educational needs
of the state with the view of gathering
data upon which a comprehensive
program for the proper development
of the educational system
might be worked out and presented
to the legislature and ultimately
to the people of the state.
The visitors indicated they were
impressed by the Auburn spirit and
that they were appreciative of Auburn's
needs.
Chemistry Department
Secures Fraternity
The Alchemist Club, composed of
a group of Juniors and Seniors in
Chemical Engineering, has been
granted a charter by the grand
council of the National Fraternity
of Gamma Sigma Epsilon. Gamma
Sigma Epsilon is one of the leading
fraternities for chemistry students
in the United States and has chapters
in a number of the leading colleges
and universities. Auburn is
the first institution in this section
of the country to be granted a
charter. The chapter will be installed
on May 9 and 10 by members
of the national council, including
Hon. M. R. Doubles, of
Richmond, Va., who is also chairman
of southern expansion.
Membership in this fraternity is
based on scholarship and good fellowship,
and it is believed that this
organization will be of great value,
both professionally and socially.
The following named men comprise
the charter members: Barnes,
A. A., Davis, J. R., Durban, S. A.,
Hunt, J. K., Jackson, J. H., Reynolds,
R. B., Saunders, C. R., Tid-morc,
D. B., Bell, B. C , Jones, H. D.,
