LEGIONNAIRES INVITED
The Annual Rat Game Between
Auburn and Georgia Tech
At 2 O'clock
Cooperating with all members of
the American Legion finding it pos­sible
to attend, an apropriate
Armistice Day celebration has been
arranged by the R. O. T.JD. unit, Nov.
11, beginning at 10 o'clock in the
morning, according to announce­ment
of Maj. John T. Kennedy, com­mandant.
The address of United
States Senator Hugo Black, of Ala­bama,
the official inspection and re­view
of the cadet corps and the an­nual
"Rat" football game in the"after­noon
at 2 o'clock between Auburn
and Georgia Tech will be the main
features of the day.
Maj. Kennedy has issued a special
invitation to all legionnaires in this
section of the state and adjoining ter­ritory
in Georgia to be in Auburn
for the celebration. Several hundred
World War veterans were present
last year on this occasion and a great
crowd is expected Friday.
Due to the lack of seating space in
Langdon Hall, the college chapel, the
entire exercises will be staged on the
drill field near the main building. A
speaker's platform has been construct­ed
facing the stands, from which
Senator Black will address the ga­thering.
The entire bleachers will be
reserved for visitors and Auburn co­eds
and the cadets will be assembled
at the side of the stand during this
part of the program.
This annual game for the freshmen
brings their season to a climax, as
does the yearly varsity clash with
Georgia Tech in Atlanta. For this
reason and the fact that the rivalry
is always keen between the two

Four Old Men Back to Build Team
Around
The Auburn Pistol team began its
regular practice, Tuesday, October
18, under the 'direction of Lieuten­ant
W. B. Leitch.
The outlook is favorable for the
usual Auburn team, however, matches
do not begin until sometime in April.
The Auburn team has made an envi­able
record for itself, having taken
first place three times and second
place twice out of five national R. O.
T. C. matches. It is expected that
this year's team will make a record
that will be equally as good as that
made by the team last year.
The first team is composed of the
following members: E. W. Root, Cap­tain;
S. S. Tatum, F. J. Bryant, D.
P. Johnson and J . A. Vines.
The following men are also on the
pistol squad: O. S. Adams, J. H.
Price, W. H. Gregory, J. D. Tucker,
J. R. Reed, 6. F. Smith, Ellenburg,
and Cumbee. The team is missing
one of its first team members in the
person of E. F. Pruitt, however, he
is expected to report back to Auburn
for the second semester. -
Coach Hancock will bring his ag­gregation
to Birmingham this week,
in hopes tff. sending the PlainsmSiT
back rn-deffeat, but under the guidance
of Coach "Boozer" Pitts, the Plains­men
arie determined to come through
the game with the big end of the score.
This is the first season that Coach
Hancock has been with A. & M. and
he has shown the Southern Confer­ence
spectators that he really knows
his stuff. This was remarbably no­ticeable
when his team ran across
the great Alabama Crimson Tide, and
gave them considerable worry on
their home grounds, and Homec
Day at that. They would havi
that game too, if they had not I N a
little hard luck. They shouldjH
won the L. S. U. game also. L^^gU.
beat them by the small score of 9 to
fT It was a tough break, but this
comes in football.
In the meantime, the Tiger has been
going through some stiff drills this
week, and by the time that the ref­erees
whistle blows Saturday, will be
primed for the affair. The injured
list is getting smaller, and we believe
that the Orange and Blue will put a
cromp in the Aggies.
' "Buck" Ellis, fleet halfback and ex-
Simpson star, will be on hand this
week, and will be one of Auburn's
chief ground gainers. He has made
some of Auburn's longest, and pret­tiest
runs this year.
There is another gentleman "that is
likely to be in the fracas Saturday,
who, although a Sophomore, proved
his ability to carry the ball in the Tu-lane
game last week. He is Callahan.
Iii the -Tulane game, he received the
ball on the kick-off and brought it
back 90' yards' for the touchdown that
tied the Greenies.
"Snitz" Snider will be another
drawing card for the Tigers.
Peppenheimer, Sophomore of the
Aggies, is a man that has been out­standing
in every game he has played
in. He is noted for having the ability
to toss passes with extreme accuracy.
A. & M. has a strong passing outfit,
and it was with this weapon that they
eaate so near ' giving: Aiahass*. - a

ChadwicV is -aUBtt**
Mississippi team that understands
his business. His main chores are
kicking and passing. There is still
another man in the backfield who is
mighty good. This is Wells, who has
made many substantial gains this sea­son.
Although Auburn has not scored
thing that no other team in the
Southern Conference has done. This
is that Auburn is the only Southern
team that has scored on Georgia.
So far as our records show, (since
1904), Mississippi A. & M. has never
beaten the Tigers. Very few times
the Aggies have even scored. But

DR. DOWELL MAKES PUBLIC
DENIAL OF ALL CHARGES
The evangelistic serivces held on
the campus November 1-3, conducted
by A. J . "Dad" Elliot, were the most
far-reaching and impressive services
of the kind that have been held on
the campus in a number of years.
It was the first attempt to hold an
evangelistic service during the foot­ball
season, but the results were
marked. Efforts were made to reach
all the social groupings, on the cam­pus
and administer to their particu­lar
needs.
Apart from the regular services, a
special talk was made to the women
students on Wednesday afternoon on
man and woman's relationships.
"Dad" urged thta the girls of today
seek a higher plane of conservation,
desire better music, have only modest
and Christian attitude toward men,
dress /decently, get a proper attitude
toward religion, and thank God for
what he has done for women."
(Continued on page 6)
To the People of Alabama:
Dr. Dowell has voluntarily presented
to this Board his resignation as Pres­ident
of the Alabama Polytechnic Ins­titute.
That resignation is reluctant­ly
accepted effective July 1, 1928.
Dr. Dowell's action in tendering his
resignation was actuated by the same
high, loyal motives that have char­acterized
his every act throughout his
entire administration.
This Board recommends that a
Committee of five of the Trustees be
appointed by the Governor, this Com­mittee
to be charged with the duty
and responsibility of finding an out­standing
educator, of national repu­tation
and proven ability, to be re­commended
to the full Board for elec­tion
to the presidency of Auburn.
The Board of Trustees of the Ala­bama
Polytechnic Institute has care- '
fully and conscientiously investigat­ed
the situation at Auburn and the
charges of incompetency and ineffi­ciency
made against President Dow­ell.
This Board consists of two .
members from the Third District and
one member from each of the other
"Congressional Districts of "the State,
appointed by the Governor from time
to time and confirmed by the Senate,
the State Superintendent of Educa­tion
and the Governor. The Govern­or
is ex-officio Chairman of the
Board. The present Board of Trus­tees
consists of Governor Bibb
Graves, Chairman, Dr. R. E. Tidwell,
State Superintendent of Education;
and the following members from
various Congressional Districts:
Dr. W. H. Oates Mobile
Gov. Chas. Henderson Troy
Chas. McDowell Eufaula
New Sweaters Are To
B* Worn By Band Men
Before departure far the TUIBM
game the members of the band re­ceived
their sweaters which will be
worn in the future with blue trousers
as street uniforms. These sweaters
which were made possible by the
untiring efforts of a few of the band
members last year and by a ruling of
much this year, she has done some-4-the executive council allowing any
Dr. Spright Dowell, president of
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
for more than seven years, tendered
his resignation to the board of trustees
Saturday afternoon and the board
immediately accepted it and announc­ed
that a Bub-committee of five will
be appointed by Governor Graves to
find the best man in the United
States for the position. Dr. Dowell's
resignation will be effective July 1,
1928, at the end of the term."
The board of trustees had been in­vestigating
charges against Dr. Dow­ell
since October 14, and resolutions
had recently been adopted exonerat­ing
him of these charges. During the
investigation Dr. Dowell made a
lengthy statement to the board, ex­plaining
the situation at Auburn and
what, in his opinion, were the causes
leading up to the present disturb­ance.
The following are some extracts
taken from the statement made to the
board of trustees, by Dr. Dowell, in
answer to the charges which were
then being investigated:
"Assuming that the charges which
have been made and are not supported
by evidence concern my fitness for
the presidency, it would be proper
for me to insist that proof be fur­nished;
that, in the absence of such
proof, the charges be dismissed and
those who are responsible for the mak­ing
and the presentation of the
charges be dealt with accordingly."
"I have neither desired nor sought
(Continued on page 3)
member of the band to wear a sweat­er
with a band monogram on it.
The sweaters are navy blue similar to
the sweaters given the athletes but
the monogram on the band sweaters
have an orange left lyre with a burnt
orange "A" superimposed on it. With
this new addition to their wardrobe
the band in the- future will be able
to put the Auburn spirit across to .the
public in big style.

PHI ALPHA CHI'S
ENTERTAIN WITH
OPOSSUM HUNT
The members of the Phi Alpha Chi
sorority entertained one night last
week with an opossum hunt. The
color scheme of white and black was
very - beautifully carried out byx the
presence at the end of the hunt of
a large white rabbit, alias the opos­sum,
and by the blackness of the
night. The "dogs" for the hunt were
procured from one of the numerous
hot-dog stands around Auburn and
served their mistresses well for the
duration of the hunt. After this
more "dogs" were obtained from the
same source. At the close of the
hunt a list of the results was taken
which was as follows: one large white
rabbit, five torn stockings, three
scratches, three bad colds due to ex­posure
to the night air without suffi­cient
covering, and two cases of in­digestion
caused by the "dogs".
NOTICE!
The Davidson Epworth League will
have a possum hunt at seven o'clock
Friday, November 18. Those wish­ing
to go will assemble at the zoo.
All leaguers and friends are cordial­ly
invited. Come and bring a date
as a good time is promised to all.

Whatever our beliefs or disbeliefs let us
meet on some common ground.
DO SOMETHING FOR AUBURN
Are you supporting Auburn? Do you be­lieve
that the college has reached its high­est
degree of efficiency? We are the ones
, who are most vitally interested in the wel­fare
and progress of the institution. There
is a stronger obligation to serve than to
merely absorb a few facts. The class
work is a larger part to be sure but should
this be all? The students and graduates
each year are bound by duty to carry on and
contribute to the upbuilding of the alma
mater. Have we asked ourselves whether
we have met our obligations? Most of us
are prone to avoid important issues.
We are each familiar with the needs of
Auburn but have we made any attempt to
delve .deeper in an effort to solve them?
The vast majority too often let the other
fellow do the work. Can it be that the
college life of America is disintegrating?
We are inclined to believe that such is ^not
the case but we cannot overlook the fact
that a large number of college students are
not entering into the work for a college
hereafter. They do not realize the mean­ing
of a college to the graduate or the old
alumnus. They believe that college life is
something to satisfy their passing fancies
and is not a thing that is steeped with love
and esteem with the coming years.
We appeal to your better natures for a
protracted awakening and to take advan­tage
of the splendid opportunities for self-expression
which mean a larger life to the
individual and add richness to that of Au­burn.
The difference between the chaff and
the grain is not so much what each is used
for but what amount of service is each cap­able
of giving?
An institution will grow" and progress
without our assistance but how much surer
and swifter would the progressive strides
be if we blend our energies into the making
of that which is more important than the
individual and more lasting than personal
gains.
• There are two southern colleges that
have one man teams. These have proven
more or less unsuccessful under teSt. Man
cannot govern a body with the harmonious
coordination of the component parts. Let
us not rumble through our college careers
like empty wagons but help carry the load
nor stop to turn back. There have been
controversies, difficulties-and contentions in
the past. Let these be buried forever. It
would be the acts of fools to fan the
sparks of enmity into flame again and let
those factions
"Which like the meteors of a troubled
heaven,
All of one nature, of one substance bred,
Did lately meet in the intestine shock,
Shall now, in mutual well beseeming
ranks,
March ail one way."-
STUDENT GOVERNMENT
The recent action by the board of trus­tees
abolishing student student government
at Auburn was an unnecessary move on
the part of that body. It seems to be the
opinion of this group that the- student
council was the main instigating body of
the movement to better conditions in the in­stitution.
This is untrue although the
state newspapers have published state­ments
to the contrary.
The council has been criticized by some
of the authorities for not quelling student
demonstrations and other actions of a
displeasing nature. It is not the duty of
the council to act as a police force or as a
detective agency but "to legislate in all
matters pertaining to the general conduct
and welfare of the student body." The
council has had nothing to do with the ac­tions
or expressions of students because the
spirit has never fallen to any unheard of
depths although the press reports were to
that effect. Probably the council should
have taken some part in the matter. ( There
is no doubt that the student government
has accomplished those things admirably
for which it was created. In this day
when democratic ideas hold sway in the
minds of a loyal constituency, such a cen­tralization
of power in an individual is
jeopardizing the student body: It is true
that in a large number of institutions the
student government has proved impracti­cal
and did not meet the needs for which
it was created. We do not believe that
this is the case here. Control should be in
the hands of a few and by-the consent of
the governed. The student body should be
represented but the alumni should not be
allowed to have the upperhand of the
scepter.
The students have been slapped in the
face. If grits is meted out to us there are
only two courses we may take;' namely:
swallow ^it or change our boarding place.
Only the narrow minded would allow an
individual or a group to banish them from
associations held sacred above all else, but
if youth cannot help serve then we will be
served.
IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT:
In onions there is strength!
J.n keeping with the progress of Auburn,
the Auburn Forensic. Council has been or­ganized.
Here's to its noted success.
"Dad" Elliot brought us some strong

HIGHER EDUCATION NEEDED
The fact that we must become better edu­cated
has been forced upon the present
generation by the trend of professions to­ward
specialization. The demands made
upon the individual are even more exacting
than before but the knowledge must not
necessarily cover every phase of the work.
There is a decided departure grom general­ization
in higher learning.
The colleges are facing a problem today
that has grown up in recent years due to
the fact that to be in school is one of the
most popular diversions of the modern
youth. The high and preparatory schools
are turning out graduates in ever increas­ing
numbers and the colleges are becoming
crowded. A vast number of these who
join the ranks of the would-be educated are
unfit for college life. Many soon drop out
because they can't stand the gaff. The pop­ularity
of being a college man has become
so common that many universities have be­come
factories. In order to save themselves
a few colleges have limited the number to
be admitted into the lower class and have
raised their entrance requirments. Thse
two factors have done much to elevate the
value of a college degree.
Genius and natural ability are assets to
a man but the time has come when they
alone will not suffice. There is yet ample
room at the top. One should give his col­lege
wdrk first place but today the new
conditions have brought a different atmos­phere
to our campuses. With the increase
in enrollment there has been an increase
in the number of honor societies and fra­ternities.
These collect those interested in
particular phases of endeavor into groups.
In a way they recognize the development
of personality which would otherwise be
lost. The fraternity system as it exists in^
our colleges today tends to wrap up vital
things in a small group thus losing view of
the fact that the institution is greater than
any of its parts and is vastly more im­portant.
There are some important problems to be
solved in the realm of higher learning which
must be met with soon. The growing popu­larity
and commercialization of football has
distorted our minds. We are putting too
much emphasis on having winning football
teams than we are concerned with scholar­ship.
Many are entering into a number
of activities for personal honors. We are
racing through our careers after trifles
and are forgetting many things that would
mean more to our alma mater and to our
fellow students. Concentration on a few
things will prove of more value in the end
both to the individual and to one's fellow-men.
It is not that the high school diploma is
decreasing in value nor the ^college degree
less meaningful of the amount and qual­ity
of training given. It is understood that
such is not the case. With the increasing
number of better educated and trained in^
structors, more modern equipment, and ex­tensive
facilities for research and experi­mentation
the modern college graduate
should be better fitted for life than form­erly.
The fault lies in the fact that we do
not take -advantage of the things that mean
most to us in college. The ever increasing
number of diplomas being given out every
year has cheapened them.
THE PARABLE OF THE NEW STUDENT
A certain freshman went down from home
to college; and he fell among sophomores
who robbed him of his fair, and who
amused themselves by letting him sing the
laundry list to the tune of "Home Sweet
Home" and yea verily, he did remove the
skin from, off his nose by rooting an article
across the floor even as the swine doeth;
and they sent him to the cemetery at mid­night
to take the census therein; and they
criticized his clothes, his manners and his
speech, and after they had done all of these
things and many more, they gathered to­gether
all the good boards in town and they
proceeded to have an old-time inspection
wherein they chastized them severely, and
they departed, leaving him to sleep in the
woods, lonely, and scared.
And when the- juniors saw it they were
amused and said among themselves: It is
well; for he hath not the making of a good
fraternity man inasmuch as he is not full
of hot air'and would not became a good
"bull-shooter." And they smiled and pass­ed
by on the other side for a "bull" party
was awaiting their attendance.
And in like manner, when the seniors
saw it they smiler and said among them­selves,
what a good job the sophomores are
doing on that freshman. And they passed
by on the other side to get their daily nap.
But a certain co-ed, as she went about,
came where he was and when she saw him
she had pity on him and bound up his
wounds by pouring in soft talk and much
mush. And she took him to a cozy corner
on the campus, and set him on her lap and
told him how big, and strong, and wonder­ful
he was.- And verily his chest expanded
until he though himself the owner of all
the college and everything therein.
Which now of these, thinkest thou, did
most good for him who fell among strange
things? Go. and do thou likewise.—G. B.
Phillips in the 1926-27 Ala. Farmer.

International Chemists Meet
The Eighth International Congress of
Applied Chemistry met in Washington and
New York September 4 to 13. This Con­gress
was attended by representative chem­ists
from all parts of the world. Three
thousand attendants.
Auburn was mrfre laVgely represented
than any other Southern institution at this
Congress, Profs. Ross, Hare and William­son
being in attendance. Prof. Ross read
a paper before one of the sections on a
method for the electrolytic determination of
sugars.
These Chemistry prpfessors are still soar­ing
to dizzy heights in the modern Chemis­try
of the world, especially our own "Ben-nie."
His name is a familiar emblem with
numerous National Chemical authorities,
this familiarity beginning with .and even
before the above mentioned occasion.
And just so have numerous other Auburn
profs risen to enviable positions. Dean
Petrie and Prof. Duggar have composed a
number of text books each. So have Prof.
i
Crenshaw and Prof. Kilebrew, Miss Gatchell
and others of the faculty.
We as students are enjoying the profes­sorship
of great men; are we making the
most of our chances?

Recent bonfire and celebration a scorch­er;
evidence of more real Auburn Spirit
shed abroad. Comments from townsmen
reveal that more enthusiasm and spirit was
displayed than ever before in years. This
attitude was a welcomed sign. Wood for
the bonfire was bought with an eight-dol­lar
collection taken at the secen. This was
an example of the proper spirit.-—Editorial
remark.
And men who witnessed that same occa­sion
verily augmented their comments con­cerning
a recent bonfire and shirt-tail pa­rade
staged here. Who says _we aren't
getting better with ttye years? Slabs and

Auburn Footprints
Recently,. Rush and Pfaff, two of Au­burn's
time-worn pestilences smashed
Lindy's record to shreds by starting out in
a collegiate puddle-jumper, drivings one
thousand miles and back in the same wreck.
They are trying to be conceited over the
fact that it didn't take them but three and
one-half days to complete the journey. In
a short interview the pair attributed their
success to their method of driving. Rush
would drive until he was exhausted from
hurling virulent ephilets at the car, and
then Pfaff would try his luck with coaxing
the car along. They finally came back to
our town, but we have refrained from stat­ing
how glad we were to see them.
It seems thatTommy Fowlks has reached
the stage where good men usually go wrong
for the laundryman sent him word that if
he intended to^put his wife's clothing in his
laundry he would have to pay double. That's
not fair, for maybe he didn't want anyone
to know that he was married. It seems, too*
that the marring habit has hit the senior
civils' girl friends, for they are all meet­ing
their mates.
Allan Rowe has sleeping sickness; he
sleeps through a great many classes when
he gets the chance which, we might say, is
most any time he wants it.
For some time we have been attempting
to determine "Bullet" Allen's position here
on the campus. We have at last found
that he found his calling to be that of a
matchmaker. To prove that he could make
any kind of a match, he enticed Rat Glen-non
from Mobile" (how he did it is a mys­tery)
to accept a blind date with one of last
season's debutantes. From all reports the
Rat and Miss Miami had a most enjoyable
time last Sunday evening.
If you ever want Tommy Baggette to do
anything, send him a telegram about three
days before time of execution. He needs
this much time to think the matter over.
We know this is the truth, for he received
a telegram last week from New Orleans.
He wasn't going to the game at first, but
Friday evening he was getting ready to
set sail. He refused to talk about his
journey when he came back, but he wore a
very happy smile, and the fellows who saw
him down there said that they" understood
that he was married. Well, we can't do
anything but wish him well.
Rat Walter Smith has the fever, too. It
appears that he and Vera are very good
friends; in~fact, if rbmors mean anything,
it is getting to be a serjous matter. We
have two other fellows watching him, but

Book Review
"THE FATHER OF LITTLE WOMEN"
We nominate, with apologies to Conde
Naste's Vanity Fair for the Hall of Fame,
Bronson Alcott. First, because he belongs
indossulubly to the circle of Ralph Waldo
Emerson, David Thoreau, Nathaniel Haw­thorne,
and other pioneer American intel­lectuals.
Second, because he was a roman­tic
lover. Third, because he was the father
of Louise May Alcott, and hence the spiri­tual
grandfather of Little Women. Fourth
because his projects were consistent fail­ures,
and finally, because Honore Willsie
Morrow has written a book about him
which she calls The Father of Little Women,
and Little, Brown and Company has pub­lished
it.
Mrs. Morrow wants it understood that
her book is in no sense a biography. It is,
so she says, "Merely an attempt to retrieve
something infinitely precious that has long
been mislaid in America: namely, Bronson
Alcott's 'theory of the best method to edu­cate
young children."
Mrs. Morrow's disclaimer of biographical
intentions wins her the right, we suppose,
to present the truly poetic scene under the
sweeting tree where Bronson, at dawn one
morning, with his small daughters, Anna,
and Louisa May, and little Beth, discusses
the coming on this earth of little souls and
finally announces the arrival that morning
of Abba May, a little, blue-eyed girl with a
fuzz of yellow hair. Little Beth wants to
know if they can keep her, and Louisa May
chimes in with a supposition that they'll
have to keep her. *
As a general rule we strongly object to
the habit of many modern biographers of
fabricating whole situations, not as they
were and based on facts, but as they might
have been and based on stray facts, or,
worse still, as the writer thinks they ought
to have been, and based 'entirely on the
whims of his mind.
On several occasions Mrs. Morrow, doubt­less,
is recording her conception of situa­tions
and resorts to the imagining of whole
dialogues. Unfortunately, these are the
most thirringly gripping portions of the
book. However, almost as a matter of
principle, it seems, Mrs. Morrow, as a gen­eral
rule, keeps her sources constantly be­fore
her readers. These, principally, are
Bronson Alcott's Unpublished Journals,
The Unpublished Journals and Letters of
Anna, Abba, Elizabeth, May and Mrs. Al­cott,
and-the Unpublished Correspondence
of Bronson Alcott.
Mrs. Morrow has done a splendid piece
of work in presenting us with a new idea
of Bronson Alcott. He will always live, of
course, with the immortal Dovecot and Mag
and John of Louisa May's Little Women,
but Mrs. Morrow believes that he should
live on his own rights. She hopes, doubt­less,
and with us her hope is realized, to
create an intellectual interest in this figure
once of prime significance to his contem­poraries.

"5. An aggravated instructional

the institution of more than 250 ex-service

out of institutional rivalries and the
lack of a unified and equitable pro­gram
of support."
"In my inaugural address I used
the following language which showed
quite clearly my recognition of the
major problem which confronted the
institution; namely, the absolute and
dire need of better support. That
problem has been squarely before the'
institution .since I became president,
and to its solution I have given my
constanir-and most earnest thought and
effort."
"Simple honesty compels me to con­fide
to you a very humiliating but
none the less real situation; namely,
the college is already facing the slow
disintegration that inevitably follows
a long period of undernourishment."
"Throughout my administration the
fundamental need of the institution
has been to secure adequate support.
In the outline of my record of which
you have already read paragraphs
68 and 69 show that the prpblem has
apparently been solved. (68) An
increase in the maintenance appro­priation
of $250,000 per year -for
teaching which exceeds by 200 per
cent the present state appropriation;
and of $80,000 per annum for re­search
and . Extension work. (69)
A total appropriation of three-fourths
of a million dollars for the remainder
of this quadrennium for buildings and
equipment."
"It has been charged that I am
physically unfit to carry the load
of president. It is true that on the
4th day of June, 1925, I suffered
a near-fatal accident while I was
being transferred from Elba to Troy
and in the discharge of official duty.
Through your liberality, I was grant­ed
a three-months leave of absence.
I returned for the opening of college
in September and, although my re­covery
was not then complete, I re­sumed
my duties with the coopera­tion
and sympathy of the faculty and
of the student body. From that date
to this, I have not missed a single day
of active work and I have neither
taken nor felt that I could afford to
take a vacation. The tri-facial nerve
was injured and my face will nev^i
be quite natural but I am well and
active and I am ready to undergo ar.y
physical examination."
"It may be that from the viewpoint
of youth I have in some measure mis­placed
emphasis in putting the need
of financial relief first, but I remem­bered
most vididly our financial disap­pointments
and struggles of the past,
I knew the impossibility of holding our
own as a standard institution of high­er
learning the next quadrennium
without larger appropriations and I
placed the emphasis where, for the
time, it was most needed and belonged.
I knew, too, that when age had
brought to youth the right' estimate
of values in the light of empirical
knowledge that those who now cen­sure
would then applaud. I might
have been less unpopular and I doubt
not that I might even have avoided
the present attack, if I had spent
more time on the ball field, on the
streets, and in social situations, but I
could not do that and be happy when
I knew thaf; Auburn's future was in
jeopardy and I carried a major res­ponsibility."
"
Tuurning from the improvements in
the material facilities of the institu­tion,
something should be said about
the instructional work of the insti­tution
and the recognition it has re
ceived. Early in the present admin
istration the conditional admission of
students was discontinued and plans
4
were inagurated to place the insti­tution
on the level of other ranking
institutions of higher learning. The
requirements of the Southern Associa­tion
of Colleges and High School—the
standardizing agency for the South
and for the country as a whole, for
the institutions of higher learning
of the South—were carefully studied,
the necessary changes were made, and
Auburn was admitted to full memberT
ship, the first Land Grant College in
the South to receive this recognition.
This is the most outstanding step of
scholastic advancement Auburn has
taken under the present administrat-tion
and is one of the most important
it has ever taken in the course of its
history in so far as its academic
standing is concerned.
"The institution has also received
distinctive recognition during the
present administration by the Society
for the Promotion of Engineering
which under a grant from the Car­negie
corporation has made a most
comprehensive investigation of engi­neering
education and in which Au­burn
lias been studied as one of the
eight representative engineering in­stitutions
of the country. There is
not a more successful college of en­gineering
in the South today than
the Alabama Polytechnic Institute
and this is attested by the relations of
the institutions with the General
Electric Company, the Westinghouse
Company, the Bell Telephone Com­panies,
the Alabama Power Com­pany
and a number of other leading
organization*- No engineering col­lege
in the South receives more fav­orable
recognition, none is ranked
more highly, and the graduates of
none are sought more actively.
"The influence and prestige of the
College of Agriculture, of the Ala­bama
Experiment Station, and of the
Extension Service are well known and
rank among the very first in effici­ency
by the United States Depart­ment
of Agriculture. The School of
Pharmacy has kept pace with the
standards prescribed as shown by the
privilege it enjoys of full member­ship
in the nationai standardizing
agency. The Veterinary College has
kept step with the advancement in
the field of Veterinary Medicine and
ranks with the best in this country
—a privilege enjoyed by only three
other institutions in the South.
"The School of Education has been
considerably strengthened and ranks
high in comparison with other insti­tutions
in the South. The School of
ft
Architecture has been strengthened
and enlarged and one year ago was
admitted to full membership in the
American Institute of the Associated
Schools of Architecture, a distinction
enjoyed by only. three other institu­tions
in the South.

"These and many other improve-ments
of greater or less importance
might be described at length but I
must leave to you the responsibility
for supplying the material with which
to develop the record already given
in outline. •
"Passing from the various items
of progress which have been enum­erated
and giving consideration to
the present period of disturbance, it
is difficult to trace the causes and
effects. Certain phases undoubtedly
antedated my connection with the in­stitution,
certain others in all proba­bility
grew out of my coming, others
may be traced to the attack made
upon me some three years ago, while
others have developed recently.
Through and underneath them all is
a connectedness which I will bring to
your attention before concluding.
"In so far as my own interpreta­tion
of the present situation is con­cerned,
and in arriving at this judge­ment
I have conferred with a num­ber
of men in whim I have the high­est
confidence, the more immediate
causes are four: : :
"(1) The action of the Executive
Council, of which I am chairman, in
deciding that a certain student who
had been guilty of unbecoming con­duct
in Auburn during the summer
months and who was quarterback on
the football team, would not be eli­gible
for registration for the first
semester of the current year.
"(2) My refusal to suspend the
rules of the institution governing
visits to fraternity houses until a new
policy had been authorized through
regular channels.
"(3) The misrepresentation of my
attitude about the use of Langdon
Hall for "pep" meetings.
"(4) The dramatic resignation of
Coach Morey to the bleachers at a
"pep" meeting on a stage set for the
purpose."
"In the statements of the students
who appeared before you are a num­ber
of assertions that are contrary
to fact. The following are typical:
that I am not physically fit to carry
on my work; that 75 per cent of the
faculty members who have left Au­burn
were disgruntled; that the coach
was under a three year contract;
that unfair treatment had been given
the student quarterback; that 75 per
cent of the old members of the faculty
would leave if they had not spent
their lives in Auburn and had its
welfare at heart; that the Extension
Service is dominating the policies of
the institution; that if a "yes" and
"no" vote were taken 85 per cent of
the members of the faculty would be
found to be against the present ad­ministration;
that the decrease in
student enrollment this year signifies
deterioration; that several members
of the Executive Council had stated
that there is lack of cooperation be­tween
the President and the Execu­tive
Council; that 94 per cent of the
alumni and 95 per cent of the stu­dent
body are against the president.

Auburn and Tulane Play 6-6 Draw;
Tigers Outclass New Orleans Team
Callahan Returns Kickoff Ninety-three Yards
for Auburn's TaHy
The Auburn Tigers outplayed and
outclassed Tulane at every stage of
the game in New Orleans last Satur­day,
but the best they could get was
a 6 to 6 tie. A 93-yard run by Calla­han,
who entered the game to jump
into the limelight, scored Auburn's
touchdown from the kickoff that fol­lowed
Tulane's touchdown late in
the second quarter. Auburn made
17 first downs while Tulane could
make but 5. Auburn gained 313 yards
from scrimmage, while Tulane- could
get but 130.
Baker of Tulane was greatly over­worked.
He gained fully two-thirds
of Tulanes yardage, carrying the ball
.^ihost of the time. He would havi;
made more if his interference, has
only gotten out of his way. Men-ville's
superb punting kept Tulane
from losing the game. He averaged
43 yards on 11 punts, 10 yards more
than Auburn averaged. He got off
boots of 50, 55, 60, and 65 yards. It
was a 55-yard kick to Auburn's 12-
yard line that indirectly led to Tu­lane's
touchdown. Crawford, of Au^
burn, punted back. Thinking to
catch Banker off his guard, he kicked
low across the field to the right.
- Banker scooped up the ball in full
speed on the 45-yard line, and was
around the Auburn team and head­ed
for a touchdown before anyone
could get to him. Crawford finally
downed him on the 1 1-2 yard line.
Banker gained a yard at center and
Menville took the ball on a fake over
center for the touchdown. Re missed
a place kick for the extra point.
It looked like that play would take
the heart out of the Tigers. They
seemed to look drooping when they
lined up to receive the kickoff. But
you never can tell By the looks of
things. The very next play might
have been taken from a movie thriller,
Porter Callahan being the hero. He
had just gone in the game for Craw­ford,
and on the kickoff,, gathered
Pizzano's kick into his arms on his-own
seven-yard line and headed to
his right, behind perfect interference.
He broke through a bunch of Greenies
and still had his interference with
him when he strode into the open and
he showed some fancy running as he
went across the goal line, niety-three
yards from where he started, with
Tigers, still protecting him. Ingram
missed the place kick.
Ingram was the victim of two un­fortunate
breaks. On the somewhat
lateral punt that Banker ran back for
a touchdown he failed to be outside
his man. He let Banker get by him
before he knew right well where the
" ball was. Then his failure to kick
the extra point that meant victory was
another heart breaker.
On that eventful kick-off and the
93-yard gallop, Auburn lined up with
five men halfway down the field. It
was intended to co-ordinate the in­terference
on returning the kick, and
it coud not possibly have worked bet­ter.
The game was a battle between two
hard playing squads, with several
men on each side that stood out
slightly more than their^mates.
For Tulane it was almost all Ban­ker
and Menville. Banker's whirling
runs and Menville's spectacular punts
kept the driving Auburn backs from
getting too close. In the last part of
the game Walker climbed into the
limelight at end by his zeal and suc­cess
in flagging Auburn backs on dif­ferent
sorts of plays. Rucker played
a good game too.
However, Auburn ripped off plenty
of yardage both through the line ,and
around the ends. Using a punt for­mation
to excellent advantage, Craw­ford,
Ellis, Callahan, Hodges and
Sellers performed equally well in
gaining. With the guards coming out
fast in the interference and the
backs picking openings well, Auburn
was often too much for Tulane to
stop in the middle of the field. On
the goal line it was different, Au­burn
seeming not to have the drive,
and also getting several bad breaks
through fumbles and intercepted
passes.
Burns set an example at end that
was nothing short of brilliant. He
kept Banker from getting loose many
times and was always on the "ball.
Included in his record for the day was
the recovery of a crucial fumble and
the completion of several neat passes.
He was down fast under punts and
generally played a first class game.
Cunningham was good in the line and
so was Captain Paterson at center.
The Auburn line outcharged Tulane,
which shows all the Tigers were put­ting
something into their play.
Tulane showed no offense, at all
except, of course, Banker. The
Greenies made two of their five first
downs on passes. Banker made one
on a 25-yard run. The other two
were made bit by bit, which doesn't
speak so well for Tulane's sustained
driving. Banker's long run gave Tu­lane
a first down on Auburn's 10-
yard line. Then Auburn took the
ball over on downs. Tulane had no
scoring play and Banker was smoth­ered
when he tried to hammer the
line. The ball went over on the
Plainsman's 4-yard line. This time
and the time they scored were Tu­lane's
only* scoring chances. They
spent the rest of the. time trying to
keep Auburn from swarming all over
them. Boozer Pitts had a fighting
team. The line opened up great holes
in the Green Wave, and Banker was
often called on at safety to stop an
Auburn' touchdown. Auburn played
a bold, aggressive type of football.
They thought nothing of passing on
first down deep in their own terri­tory
and completed more of these
passes than were good for Tulane's
health, completing seven out of 19
for a total of 90 yards. Tulane could
complete only three out of 12 for a
gain of 33 yards. Auburn had four
passes intercepted, and grabbed
down three of Tulane's.
Auburn made three threats for a
touchdown besides the cross country
run of Callahan, but were stopped
each time before they could carry the
ball over.

Dormitory Again
Victor Over The
West End Eleven
The Dormitory Wildcats beat the
strong West End team last Saturday
on Drake Field. The final scare was
13 to 0. Both teams showed much im­provement
over the way in which
they played last week, even though
several regular players on each team
were not in-the game.
The first score came in the first
quarter, when Sturkie, Dormitory
center, broke through the line, block­ed
a punt, and grabbed the ball and
ran 30 yards for touchdown. Jones'
try for goal went wild.
The second score was a result of
a few end runs and then several line
bucks. The ball was brought from
mid-field down to- the 5-yard line,
when Kenny went across for the
counter. A pass, Jones to Geist, was
good for the extra point.
The lines were pretty evenly match­ed,
and many times they showed real
ability in holding like a stone wall.
The Dormitory was penalized once
for off-sides, and twice for excessive
time out.
West End put up a good scrap, and
under the guidance of Captain Allen,
pulled some good plays. Allen ran
his team- in an admirable way, and
made some substantial gains.
Quinlivan was the outstanding lines­man
on the West End team. He
dealt the Wildcats a great deal of
trouble during the whole game, and
threw the backs for several losses.
West End gained most of their
ground on end runs, due to the fact
that they had some very fast and
shifty men in the backfield. «
The man that turned in the best
game of the day was Mr. Sturkie of
Alumni-Hall. He was in every play,
and made three-fourths of the
tackles for his team. He received
some hard knocks, but was right
back on his feet and-ready to go
again. He blocked two West End
punts. If Knute Rocke had only seen
this game, I am sure that he would
have signed him up.
Winter and Weatherby played
heads-up football, and made x some
good tackles. Shennesy also got some
pretty tackles.
Captain Joncfe of the Dormitory
conducted his team in a good man­ner,
and made some good gains
through the line.
Kenny, Ross, and "Worthington
made several gains, and exhibited
some beautiful form in-blocking.

To Run Against
Ga. Tech Friday
On Friday the cross country team
journeys to Atlanta • to try their
speed against the Tech cross country
team. Tech had a .meet with the
University of Georgia recently, and
were defeated 23 to 32. It will be
remembered that the University of
Georgia beat our own boys by the
score of 22 to 33. From this it seems
that the two teams should stack up
about even. In Tech's run with
Georgia, Young of Georgia, the same
lad who came in first over Auburn
two weeks ago placed first. Brewer
and Wright of Tech finished second
and third though, and these are the
two that Auburn will have to watch
Friday.
The tryouts for the Tech meet were
held last Friday, Helms coming in
first with a time of 28-42% for the
five mile course. The others and
their order of finishing were Duncan,
second; Mills, third; Teague, fourth;
Aldrich, fifth; Morrow, sixth; Mc-
Lendon, seventh; Wilson, eighth; and
Yancey, ninth.
On Thursday of last, week a race
was held between the freshmen and
the second team. This was won -by
Rat Shanks, from Greenville High
School, with the time of 18:04 for
the three-mile course. About ten
other men finished.
Black Spot* on the Gridiron
Alabama, the State, not the Univer­sity
this time, has one of the greatest
gridiron players in the World. He
has never been an Ail-American pick
and is not liable to be, yet, there is
no doubt of his ability to outplay
many that boast of that distinction.
The ball passer, carrier and punter,
is none other than Stevenson of
/Tuskegee. He has two more years
on the teams of that famous Insti­tute
before he wil complete his
twelfth season. Recently, Stevenson,
passed the oval from his own five
yard line into the hands of one of his
mates who was awaiting the ball on
the opponents ten yard line. And
he also has kicked several long field
goals this season; one of which was
from the 45 yard line, a boot of 55
yards. Considering his form and
ability, there is no reason^ that he
should not Captain the All-African

Phillips with great efficiency as he
seems to write on all subjects that

Dixie Stars Due to Appear on AI1-
American Team
At this time of the-season, there
are four outstanding backfield stars
in the good old U. S. These ball
toters hail from only two sections of
the country and are very liable to lose
a place due to that fact. From the
South or below the "Smith and Wes­son"
line hail two of the smoothest
and most versatile players of the
quartet. Mr. Bill Spears, quarter­back,
for Vanderbilt is generally
recognized as the leader for his per­sonal
position. Spears is full of gen­eralship
and can pass the oval to a
perfection. Hon. McCrary of the
Georgia Bulldog aggregation is the
real sensation of the South. He
doesn't excell in any one part of the
game but surpasses all opponents to
the hall of fame in his lightenlike
thrust at tackle, end or any part of
the line. McCrary is rated high in
track, being second to the speed
demon, Snitz Snider of Auburn.
From the Mid-West, hail Christy
Flannagan and Herb Joestings of
Notre Dame and Minnesota, respec­tively.
These two hustlers were
rated Ail-American last year and
are due to repeat unless they hit a
decided slump. Joestings is the full­back
and Christy is the other half­back
of the quartette. Both have
distinguished themselves on the
field, so far this year.

That is the one question in the
minds of every College student at
Ebb James Is To
Have His Ankle
Operated On
Ebb James, prominent athlete and
joint holder of the Porter loving cup,
left the first part of the week to have
his ankle examined and set right. It
will be remembered that Ebb has had
a good deal of trouble during the past
year with his ankle and to avert his
being handicapped during the coming
basket-ball and base-ball seasons, he
has been sent to the best physicians
in Atlanta to have everything in work­ing
order as soon as possible. The in-'
jury is not a serious one but may de­velop
into that stage.
Any of the students that have been
interested in sports and that should
include the entire student body, know
Ebb and realize his importance. In
behalf of these students, we want to
wish Ebb the speediest of recoveries
and best of luck during his coming
battles.
the present time. And the South has
the best chance of any section of the
Country to obtain that coveted posi­tion.
Neither, Tennessee nor Georgia
have suffered defeat so far and Geor­gia
has boosted her rating consider­ably
by being the only eleven to
trounce the strong Eli squad. The
Elis hitch up with the undefeated
Princeton Tiger this Saturday and
the fur is due to fly, because the Yale
eleven has come out as the strongest
team in the East since their defeat
at the hands of Georgia. If Yale
does win, then Dixie will boast of
the only Major undefeated, untied
eleven in the States. Come on Yale!
And as Vanderbilt hitches horns with
the invincible Tennessee Volunteers,
a one-sider race is liable to be the
outcome for the pinnacle. Yet, the
Volunteers had an easy time last
week, while the Commodores had a
fight for their life and a victory
would not be an upset to dope.
Undiscovered country

THE globe's surface no longer
holds much undiscovered country,
but the pioneer-minded man can still
find plenty of it in industry—partic­ularly
in* the telephone industry.
In the Bell telephone companies
throughout the entire country, men
are now exploring the 1930's and
40's and 50's, charting the probable
trend of population and the require­ments
for service.
In research1 and development, and
in telephone manufacture as well, the
Bell System takes seriously its respont
sibility to give adequate service now

Alabama. Such service has involved
sacrifice on* the part of a group of
busy men. Each member has been
happy to make such sacrifice as has
been necessary, believing that the
welfare of Auburn was of vast im­portance
to the whole people, and
that its proper development was es­sential
to- the future of the state.
Dr. Dowell, of course, has had no
part in the Board's investigation, ex­cept
to give such information as the
Board requested, and he has had no
part in the action of the Board.
Actuated only by these motives
and with full consciousness of the
importance of the task, this Board
has endeavored, without bias or pre­judice,
to determine the facts under­lying
the present situation at Auburn,
the cause of the unrest and the cure
for Auburn's troubles.
Our investigation reveals to our
entire satisfaction that Dr. Dowell,
instead of being incompetent and in­efficient,
has been highly competent
and efficient and that his accomplish­ments,

subordination and unfriendliness,
both within and without the walls of
the institution, have advanced its wel­fare
to a far greater extent than
within any similar period in its his­tory.
We are convinced that Dr.
Dowell is a man of fine character,
unquestioned integrity, and great
ability as an educator. If he had
been given the loyal support of all
members of the faculty, alumni and
student body, his administration
would today, in our opinion, be ac­cepted
by the people of Alabama as
the object of unquestioned pride and
gratification. Even without these
essentials, he has succeeded in elevat­ing
the standards of the institution
and in increasing its facilities for ser­vice;
he has made of it a more effec­tive
instument for' the development
of trained leadership and
character.
The Board of Trustees regards the
loyalty of all members of the faculty
to the administration, of which they
are a vital and integral part, as es­sential
to the success of any admin­istration
of a college. This Board
is firmly convinced that the adminis­tration
of Dr. Dowell, as President
of Auburn, has not been supported
by the full and undivided loyalty of
some members of the faculty. The
Board feels that members of the fac­ulty
disloyal to one'president w o u l d t s t a n d a r d s m e e t s w i t h o u r f u l 1 aPPr o v
al,

be apt to bfi disloyal to any president
For these reasons, it is the opinion of
the- Board that the best interests 6f
Auburn would be served by the resig­nations
of those members of the fac­ulty
who have failed or refused to
cooperate with Dr. ^Dowell, or who
have been disloyal to his administra­tion.

The Board of Trustees regards
football as a sane, sound and desir-able
element in college life. It be­lieves
that all proper cooperation with
the football coach and team should be
provided by the administration. How­ever,
this Board is firmly convinced
that there is a distinct tendency to
over-emphasize football and .to make
it the chief object of collegiate work,
rather than an interesting and de­sirable
by-product of college life.
The Board of Trustees believes that
/Dr. Dowell's attitude, as expressed in
demanding the same treatment, in
respect of scholarship and deport­ment
for football players and non-athletes
alike, is essential to the
welfare of Auburn. We heartily com­mend
him for his procedure in this
matter.
The Board of Trustees regards col­lege
fraternities and fraternity life
as important elements in the college
of today. Life in fraternity houses
has many things to commend it, es­pecially
where there is shortage of
dormitory room. Such life, however,
conducted by students immature in
years and to a degree inexperienced
in life, has its dangers. The Board
of trustees believes that Dr. Dowell's
insistence upon certain regulations
of life in fraternity houses, chaper-onage
of visitors at dances, elimina­tion
of liquor from fraternity houses
and campus alike in so far as possible,
are worthy of the highest commenda­tion.

even though it may have, and
probably did have a bearing upon
student dissatisfaction.
We reservedly condemn the effort
of certain student leaders in the
midst of a school term to foster dis­satisfaction
and disloyalty. We be­lieve
this disaffection was cherished
and nourished by influences outside
of the student body; for selfish rea­sons
on the part,of some, and for
unselfish reasons on -the part of
other devoted alumni who, perhaps,
are not wholly familiar with all that
had happened at Auburn in recent
years. Blameworthy as we feel the
student leadership has been, it is the
opinion of the Board that persons
outside of the student body are to be
blamed far more. However, this
Board feels that some members of
the student body have been guilty of
the worst form of insubordination,
and we refer the entire matter of
the discipline proper to be adminis­tered
in the premises to the President
and the Executive Council and re-commend
that prompt and vigorous
measures be taken to adequately deal
with the situation to the end that no
repetition of such conduct shall again
occur. The Board directs the im­mediate
abolition of student govern­ment.
--It is-our opinion that constant agi­tation
has rendered difficult the task
of President Dowell, despite which
he has made a most remarkable rec­ord
of achievement. Even in student
numbers, perhaps the poorest test of
effective college work, Auburn has
shown a fine and unparalleled in­crease
during his administration. In
the moulding of character and the
deevlopment of scholarship, his work
meets with our unreserved commen­dation.
We commend to all fair-minded
persons who desire the facts,
Dr. Dowells statement of last Tues­day
before the sub-committee of this
Board. A careful reading of the
67 achievements therein cited will
provide all the necessary answers to
criticism and convince any sincere
doubter.
Our investigation, which has been
careful and thorough, much of it pri­vate
and individual in addition to
information developed at public hear­ings,
reveals that a great injustice
had been done to Dr. Dowell. In our
-opinion, he is completely exonerated
from the charges of inefficiency or
failure to meet the high requirements
of his position. We cloak him with
full authority, not only to remain as
President of Auburn until July 1st,
1928, but in the meantime to take
this situation firmly in hand, restore
discipline and order, and insist upon
that loyalty to the institution which
can exist only in connection, with
loyalty to the administration of the
daily life of the college. To accom­plish
this, such steps as may be neces­sary
should be taken at once.
In view of the investigation and
findings of this Board, we appeal to
the people of Alabama to rally be­hind
Auburn and President Dowell,
to cease to discuss Auburn's troubles
and to repeat unsavory and unfound­ed
rumors about its affairs. We ap­peal
to the student body to rally
behind- the present administration
with full and complete loyalty and
that devotion to the institution which
has made of the "Auburn Spirit" a
think to conjure with in Alabama in
the past. We appeal to the alumni
to rally behind the institution, and we
appeal to each individual alumnus
to conceive of his loyalty to his alma
mater as wrapped up in the success
of the present administration. We
demand of the faculty that each
individual members give to Dr. Dow­ell
and his administration the best
that is in him, without hesitation and
without equivocation.
It is essential in this crisis that we
cease to talk about Auburn and to
lament conditions there. A loyal,
devoted, enthusiastic support at this
moment will definitely insure at Au­burn
that progress which the people
of Alabama are entitled to expect.
With such support, Dr. Dowell's ad­ministration
will be characterized, in
the opinion of this Board, with all of
success that friends of the institution
could ask or think; without it; Dr.
Dowell must continue tc-^struggle in
the fate of almost insuperable ob­stacles
to bring--order out of chaos,
and definite progress out of utter
confusion.
Knowing all of the facts, the
Board of Trustees has no doubt of
his integrity or of his ability. His
only need is a definite, specific loy­alty
that can and will surmount air
consideration of personalities, pride
or prejudice, and devote itself to the
welfare of the institution regardless
of who is at the helm. It is for such
a brand of loyalty that this Board
earnestly appeals to the student
body, the faculty, the alumni and
the people of Alabama, particularly
to the people of Alabama, for it is
to them the institution belongs and
it is they who must suffer if it fails
to measure up to its highest oppor­tunities.

Miss Helen Kennedy, of Florida,
has been appointed specialist in
foods and nutrition for the Extension
Service of the Alabama Polytechnic
Institute, as announced by Prof. L.
N. Duncan,- director. She succeeds
Miss Certie Reynolds who resigned
to do graduate work in New York.
In announcing the appointment of
Miss Kennedy, Mr. Duncan said that
her training and her experience have
qualified her for this important work.
For four years she was county demon­stration
agent in Dallas County where
her work was a marked success. In
recommending her, Senator J. B.
Ellis, of Selma, said: "I consider
Miss Kennedy one of the most cap­able
women who has ever been as­sociated
with us. I would consider
you most fortunate if you secure her
services.
Miss^ Kenedy has worked in Ten­nessee
and she is returning to Ala­bama
from Florida, where she is
highly recommended. She is a Ten-nesseean
and an alumnus of the Uni­versity
of Tennessee where she spec­ialized
in home economics. For three
teriqp she pursued graduate courses
at Columbia University, N. Y.
I try to have no- plans the failure

(Continued from page 3)
of more puerile ones, they are each
and severally untrue in whole or in
part. Among them, however, are
two or three that would seem to de­serve
your consideration.
"With reference to faculty opposi
tion and disloyalty, I do not believe
that those who have made the charges
believe they are true. I therefore ask
that you ascertain, by such means as
you may think proper, the real atti­tude
of the faculty, that you require
the students making these state­ments
to give the source or sources
of'information on which their asser­tions
were based, and that you take
such action in the premises as develop­ments
may justify. If, by any means,
it is ascertained that members of the
faculty are out of harmony with the
present administration, then I would
urge that they be heard and that the
present administration be changed
or they be changed as you may de-
. termine. If on the other hand, these
statements have been recklessly or
falsely made, then I submit that those
who made them should give a satisfac­tory
explanation of such charges or
else be dealth with accordingly. I
believe that the great majority of the
members of the faculty are loyal to
the institution and to its administra­tive
head. There may be instances of
personal dislike and most certainly
there are differences in points .of
view but I have yet to learn of any
positive evidence of disloyalty. In
general, I do not believe that better
feeling and cooperation could be ex
pected under the complex organiza­tion
and the severe financial limita­tions
under which we have worked,
than- you will find to exist between
the President and the members of the
faculty at Auburn."
"There is one pther charge, though
absolutely untrue, has apparently
taken the form of propaganda, the
intangible" phrase, "playing politics."
No living man who respects the truth
and has intelligence can say that I
have ever played politics in the criti­cal
sense in which the phrase is com-monuly
tised. The only political of­fice
I have ever held was given me
without opposition and with practic­ally
a unanimous vote. The only
method of procedure I have ever fol­lowed
has been and always will be to
try to discover, with the best light
available, just where the path of duty
lies, and to travel it in . the right
spirit."
"Without, further discussion_x>f the
events of the recent past, I believe it
is my duty to try to interpret the
meaning and to give you my judg­ment,
for whatever it may be worth.
The real and fundamental issue" in
the final analysis is whether consti­tutionally
created authority and its
agents shall determine the policies
and program of the Alabama Poly­technic
Institute, or whether civilian
residents of the village of Auburn,
disgruntled alumni and football fans,
and mininformed and uniformed
students shall determine the policies

"More specifically, whether the in­stitution

Notes of the Societies
S. A* Me Eta
The meeting of the S. A. M. E.
was called to order by President
Alston. The first speaker of the
night was Mr. Brake who gave
very interesting talk on the mountain
engineers reserve in the state of Ala­bama.
Giving the coat of arms used
by the unit, with the motto, "Get
there first."
Mr. Thompson, being the next
speaker, gave his subject as, The fu
ture suspension bridge across the
Hudson. He gave the general speci
fications for the "Bridge with the gen­eral
use to the public for which it
is to be used.
The next speech was made by Mr.
E. L. Kipp. He told of the general
manufacture of Portland cement
with which he has had quite a bit of
experience.
Mr. Turner, with a wide knowledge
of the Diesel engine, gave a-very in­teresting
talk by giving the develop­ment
of the engine and the principles
on which it works. The heat from
the strokes causes the engine to fire.
Compressed air is usually used to
start the engine. Mr. Turner gave
several practical uses to which the
engine is being used. To this, Mr.
Alston added that Prof. Hixon ran
a Diesel engine for three hours on a
glass of syrup.-(Believe i t or not.)
Mr. Landstreet, next on the pro­gram,
gave -a talk about a cave near
his home town. There were several
points of interest which he discussed.

and why to design certain types of
foundations, walls and roofs, etc.
At the conclusion of his speech he
opened the meeting for the members
to ask questions about their designs.
A number of questions were^.asked
him which he cheerfully answered for
their advantage.
Prof. Jones in the course of his
talk gave a little incident describing
the life of wood. {'When the- Span­iards
settled in Florida they brought
with them a large load of lumber,
white oak by description. Trouble
arose in the colony, and to prevent
the wood from being confiscated,
they sunk it off the bay where now
stands Ft. Barrancas. The logs re­mained
in the water for over fifty
years. It was then raised and used
in some of their buildings. - The
wood was as staunch and durable as
the day it was cut." Prof. Jones
recited a few more examples relating
to the relative strength and dura­bility
of lumber under the proper
care. '.
Prof. Jones closed his speech ask
ing the members to feel at liberty to
call upon him with any questions that
need a solution, which they could
not render for themselves. —
No further discussions being
brought before the assembly,, the
meeting was adjourned by a Vote of
the association.
He also gave some history of the civil
war connected with the cave.
As this was the last of the pro­gram,
President Alston asked if there
was any old or new business to be
brought up.' As there was none, a
motion was made by Mr. E. L .Kipp,
for adjournment. When the motion
was seconded, the meeting came to a
close.

meeting last , Monday night in the
Ramsey Hall, at 6:45 P. M. The
meeting was called to order by Presi­dent,
Mr. H. L. Mullin who presented
the guest of the evening, a distin
guished member of the class of '26,
Mr. Yancey. The speaker related to
the society the problems involved in
constructing a nine mile canal, de­signed
to drain 43,000 acres of land
lying south west of Lake Okeechobee.
The canal also can be used to irri­gate
the land in dry seasons of the

construction of a bridge designed to
carry in two divisions of traffic, the

'DAD' ELLIOT IS HEARD
• AT MANY MEETINGS HERE
EVANS
There was quite a slump in attend
ance of the Society, due to tne heavy
downpour of rain. Few of the mem
bers seem very interested, when there
isn't a large attendance out, but when
it takes a little effort for them to get
there, they don't show up.
It was also the- night for the try-outs
for the declamation contest, and
only one of the prospective declaimers
was present. We are expecting great
things from that one member, for he
is the man that won first place for
the Society- last year. No less will be
expected of him this year, or at least
those who heard him Tuesday night.
He is our ol' standby McConnell. Mac
for short, and he certainly deserves
credit for his unusual ability and in
terest in the society. His subject is
"THE INFLUENCE OF THE
PRESS UPON WORLD PEACE."
We are sure that we will hear from
"Mac" again, when the judges make
their decision. We were fortunate in
having Professors Butler and Hut­chinson
as our judges. We are sorry
that the other declamers were not out,
for it would have been more interest-ting
for our judges and "Mac."
Miss Helbing, is a former State Su­pervisor
of Home Economics of Louis-ana
and now a special supervisor of
evening classes in Georgia.
The book was purposely written for
all women interested in menu plan
ning, however it is being used as a
text book in classes at Auburn.
The publication deals with the
fundamentals, nutritive value of
foods and body requirements, food
combinations, types of menus and
fods. Special attention is given to a
discussion of the different types of
foods to be served with each type of
menu. Careful consideration has been
given six important topics, namely;
cost of food; budgets; methods of de­termining
cost; planning on a dei'i-nite
allowance; standards of living;
a knowledge of marketing.
The book is one written after much
forethought and research and indi­cates
a thorough knowledge, of the
subject. It is indeed a credit to the
authors.
(Continued from Page 1.)
On Wednesday evening at the reg­ular
service hour, a special talk was
made to the men, and directly follow­ing
this service, a talk was given
to fraternity men/ At other times,
"Dad" gave talks to the football team
and other social groupings.
The lectures pertained to the most
vital questions that are facing the
young men and women of today. On
Tuesday morning, "Dad" gave an
insight on life lived on the lowest
plane, its outcome and its remedy.
On Tuesday evening the theme was
what the greatest motive in life
should be. "We must have a motive
pure enough to see through, big
enough to move in, and high enough
to grow in." On Wednesday morn­ing
a test was laid down by which
we may know we are Christians. ~" On
Thursday morning ways were given
by which a person may become a
Christian. And the closing message
Thursday evening pointed out things
in religion that will make a differ­ence
in one's life.
"Dad" Elliot has come and gone,
but on our campus there has remain­ed
an awakened feeling of. power to
do and live in a way that God de­mands,
and* which is typified in the
masterful personality and superior
visions of "Dad".
