This The generosity of theIssue members of the Campus

Beard the undergraduate publication, in financial assistance, has made possible the enlargement and mailing of this issue, not only to all alumni and former students but to each student who attended the University during the Spring semester. It is hoped that each under­graduate in reading these pages will better appreciate that great alumni body to which the University owes so much.

P robably the outstanding feature in the business transacted by the Board of Trustees of the Univer­

sity, at least in the eyes of the majority of the alumni, is the decision to return the direction and control of athletics to the Athletic Board. Nor was this the only act of the Trustees to meet with favor. It was further agreed that the University was to divert from tuition income $4 50 per semester for each student, and that the ag­gregate so turned over in a lump sum is to be expended by the Treasurer of the Athletic Association under the direction of the Athletic Board. There is to be a sharp division between the Department of Physical Education and the Department of Athletics, the former being under the con­trol of the University and the latter do-

•

partment being abolished in name and di- rected in effect by the Athletic Board The University, to show its belief in the right kind of athletics properly managed is to pay the salaries of the graduate manager and the track coach. In the total financial support there will be a decided increase over the amount appropriated last year. The Board of Trustees is to be represented on the Athletic Board another year and it is understood that Hosea B Buck ’93 is the choice of the Trustees for this position No coaches arc to be hired unless then

AthleticReorgani­zation

selection meets alike with the approval of the Athletic Board and the University. Coaches are to be retained subject to the mutual satisfaction of both parties.

With the selection of Robert H. Bryant as graduate manager, a man who has a deep interest in athletics, who as a varsity quarter back won his letter in the fall of 1911 and 1912, and who has had a good business experience, Maine’s athletics should surely be established on a more business-like basis. The result of this re­organization may not be effective immedi­ately. To recover from an athletic slump is not to be expected in one year. If Maine’s achievements in two, three, or five years are on the former plane of excel­lence the reorganization can be said to be successfully accomplished.

Advantages Twenty-one colleges of of a College the South recently spon- Education sored a joint advertis­

ing campaign develop­ing, creatively, the advantages of a college education. A series of letters from an un­educated farmer to his son and daughter furnished the copy for their inspirational messages Certain definite ideas and con­ditions which sometimes cause a decision not to enter college were attacked.

In your conversation with Neighbor Blown or Cousin Jim read to him the letter of F. A. Reid, owner of Clover Leaf Farm who appears in print in one of the advertisements.

“The last time you were home,” he wrote, “you were talking with some of your friends at church, and I chanced to hear one of you remark that ‘it does not pay to go to college’

“But before my boy or girl makes a final decision about this question I want them to listen to some of the ‘inside’ experiences of their uneducated Daddy You see me going ahead, working hard, running the farm in a much better manner than many neighbors. You do not see my lack of knowledge about many farm subjects. You do not see my inability to approbate many of the fine things which enrich and sweeten life. You do not know how much I have missed by not having the comradeship of other ambitious men at college You do not see how much I miss by not having the golden friendships with former stu­dent companions, which mv brother, who went to college cherishe, with such happi­ness. I feel, too, that I lack the broader vision necessary to understand and follow the great movements which are sweeping over our country and transforming it.

“You both remember the movement started in this county several years ago to build good roads I opposed it. Looking ahead, I saw only the larger taxes. I could not see the approaching necessity for in-' Creased speed in marketing; I could not,

see that such roads would save me many days of time and that my hauling could be done on a much cheaper basis than was then the case. The same thing has been true about many other matters that have come up. I have been outright opposed to them or have been only lukewarm.

“Our church has suffered because of my ignorance, public schools have been hin­dered, the organization of farmers in our neighborhood has been held in check. Thank God, I have now seen my error in many of these things and have set about to correct them. But at best, I have very much delayed gravely important matters of community progress. No doubt I am to-day making similar mistakes because I cannot see ahead, and will have to correct them by locking back.

“I want you, Son and Daughter, to be leaders! I want you to be able to look ahead and meet opportunities instead of having to look back and correct mistakes. College will not do it all, but it will so broaden your vision as to help avoid many mistakes, and therefore enable you to be of greater service to yourself and your community.”

50th Plans are rapidly matur-Anniversary ing for the proper cele- First bration of the Fiftieth An-Class niversary of the gradua­

tion of the first class. 1872 is to be singularly honored one year from now by the greatest alumni celebration ever staged on the campus. Will R. Howard ’82, ever an active worker for Maine, is chairman of the committee of class secre- taries which is to handle the affair. The preliminary meeting was held during this Commencement and it was agreed that a pageant should be presented to illustrate the life of the Maine State College dur­ing the four years when the first class was on the campus. Appropriate literary ex­ercises will be held to commemorate the occasion The greatest assembly of Maine men on the campus will surely result from such a celebration. Let us vow now to defer no longer that visit to the campus. All honor to 1872—the first to graduate.

1921 Alumni Day Passes Into History>.Ss*

Perfect Weather Conditions Favor 235 Returning Alumni. Class Stunts Well Rendered But Ball Game Upsets Celebration. Every Seat Filled

at Banquet. Alumni Hop Popular Affair

No unusual attractions were planned for the 1921 Alumni Day and the activities en- joyed last year were repeated. Neverthe­less it was a banner day and the alumni enthusiasm ran high. Perfect weather prevailed—not too warm or too cold—so that the old-time groups of pals circulated where fancy dictated without a thought of the weather. The grass covered campus, the abundant evergreens, and the ivy cov­ered buildings never looked more inviting or pleasing to the eye.

Friday the third, the advance guard came straggling in. Most of them were men who had come from afar—returning for the first time in years and who de­sired the opportunity of getting close to the old familiar landmarks, in advance of the returning alumni. The 1916 delegation arrived in Bangor during the day—a few reached the campus—but the majority re­mained off the campus awaiting the class banquet which was scheduled for 7.30 P. M. at the Canoe Club. Reports that this eating affair was highly enjoyed have reached us.

The General Alumni MeetingThere were one hundred and two in at­

tendance at the annual meeting of the Gen­eral Alumni Association. The usual com­mittee and executive officers reports were read. The nomination of Hosea B. Buck ’93 as the alumni trustee to succeed Charles E. Oak 76, voted upon by the Alumni Ad­visory Council and presented to the Gov­ernor, was ratified by vote of the associa­tion. A new constitution prepared by E.

J. Wilson ’07, amended and approved by the Council was accepted. A discussion of the athletic situation was opened up and proved to be an interesting part of the meeting.

New OfficersThe following were elected:President, Allen W. Stephens '99; Vice

President, Norman H. Mayo ’09; Clerk, Charles E. Crossland ’17; Members at Large, Alumni Council, Edward H. Kel­ley ’90, C. Parker Crowell '98, and W. H. Jordan 75. Representing College of Arts and Sciences, Harry Sutton ’09; College of Law, James M. Gillin ’13; Alumnae Member, Mrs. Mildred Prentiss Wright ’11; Athletic Board, C. Parker Crowell ’98 and Phillip R. Hussey ’12

Alumni ParadeAt 3 P. M. the alumni parade was put

in motion by Head Marshall Nelson C. Scales ’11, who attired in the “old Guard” costume of his class efficiently led the march. The Bangor Band led the way, starting in front of Alumni, out by the Library to the waiting room, back up across the campus by the store and be­tween Aubert, Wingate and Lord Hall, around the end of Oak, past Hannibal Hamlin to the further gate to the Athletic Field. Here the paraders swung onto the running track and in column of two’s passed in review by the concrete grand­stand filled with Commencement guests to the further end of the field. The final stop came in the center of the field where a group picture was taken.

Charles S. Bickford ’82, honorary mar­

shall, President Aley, the deans, General Hersey, and the members of the early classes immediately followed the band. 1911 and 1916 in full costumes, the former as members of the “old guard” and the latter as Roman gladiators, etc. broke up the civilian dress of the paraders with their color. The old cannon drawn by two of the ’11 men smoked all the way along and was an object of great curiosity. The two pair of frothing chargers driven by Messrs. Barrows and Philbrook from their seats high in their 1916 chariots rattled over the route in fine style. 1921 by courtesy occu­pied a position at the end of the line. Their somber graduation caps and gowns gave a touch of dignity to the occasion.

The StuntsAt 3 :45 P. M. the diamond was cleared

of the practising ball tossers and reclassi­fied as the arena, was the scene of the 1916 stunt, the portrayal of a Roman holiday. Caesar himself seated on a step-ladder throne and fanned by two servants wield­ing brooms directed the holiday perfor­mance. First came a gladiator’s combat in which Roger Bell, always a winner, was the victor; this was followed by a hand- to-hand fight with a fierce Nundian lion in which the lion lost his head and the vic­tor was proclaimed a hero.

“The most beautiful girl in Rome” then rendered a solo dance assisted by the band and which seemed quite modern as the young lady nearly forgot to fix her hair before appearing. The royal announcer then proclaimed “Now that you have seen her dance she will be sold to the highest bidder” and she went to an autocrat who bid a case of Haig & Haig. The next event staged was a race around the dia­mond between four of the Roman citizens, the winner proving to be the one that ran the shortest distance. After that the four contestants were given the privilege to dance with the Roman Co-eds of ’16. It was at this point that one of Brutas hench

THE MAINE ALUMNUS

men shouted, “Down with Caesar” and poor old Caesar, purple robe, crown and all came tumbling from the step-ladder.

At this sign of revolution the old Guard rushed in demanding a surrender and was beheaded. Mark Anthony then made his famous speech, stoutly defending Caesar in his attempt to repeal the Prohibition measures. The final event of the pageant was a chariot race which really proved a thriller, the winner pulling ahead only on the last turn of the track The ball game came next

The Alumni BanquetAt 6:30 P. M Allen W Stephens, pre-

siding at the largest alumni banquet ever t o be held in the gymnasium seated the standing alumni, guests and friends of the University There were five hundred to partake of a Penobscot River salmon din- ner with lobster salad and ice cream The Bangor Band, always on the job, rendered a fine instrumental program of classical a nd popular music

President Stephens introduced Samuel W Gould 77, ex-president of the Board o f Trustees as the first speaker In the light of his trustee experie nce Mr Gould told how he would run a university if he had the opportunity. He brought many a smile to his listeners as he stated that the would hire a professor to teach profes- ors how to live on $2500, he would have professors so loyal that they would con- ribute a portion of then salary to help un the University and he would have stu- dents with less activities and fewer dress its.Mr. Gould, at the request of President

Stephens, introduced, the second speaker Hosea B Buck ’93 of Bangor, at that tune

newly nominated alumni member of the Board of Trustees Hosca went on record with the statement that “he was going to try to bring the University back and keep

there in every way ” He bewailed he lack of the old spirit in the student body

and argued for a revival of that wonder­ful enthusiastic loyalty which clung to the campus in the old days

Louis C. Southard was then introduced and in words of understanding and wis­dom derived from long contact with edu­cational institutions related the growth of education in the country His words, as always, were full of loyalty and devotion to our Alma Mater

President Stephens received for himself.1t the privilege of introducing Dr. Aley President of the University In wellchosen words Dr. Aley counted the bless

“I believe the future for this University is bright I am sure there have never been so many people who believed in high­er education by the state as now, nor has this institution ever had so many influen­tial and enthusiastic friends as she has today It the alumni and friends will unite in a constructive campaign, forget­ting self and petty differences as I believe

all are ready to do your fondest dreams will be more than realized ”

Commencement Exercises In Outdoor Oval MostImpressive

Three Members of Former Classes Awarded Degrees. Practical Address of Dr. Arthur J. Roberts of Colby. Honorary Degrees Awarded

to Distinguished Alumni and Citizens

The Commencement Exercises held on the natural green-sward oval in front of Alumni, Monday morning, June 6th were the fiftieth in the history of the college Few graduation ceremonies have been more impressive. The graduating class seated in the front tiers with their row after row of black caps and gowns merg­ing into the colors of their relatives and friends seated behind was a sight never to be forgotten. Only once a year can the scene be duplicated on the campus.

Distinctive in the award of degrees were the three degrees granted to three members of former classes who were un­able to finish their college work but since leaving college have made conspicuous suc­cess in life. Only two of the three were able to be present and there was loud ap­plause as they were conducted to the plat­form in cap and gown and received their diplomas from President Aley, after a period of thirty years for Leslie Albert Roadway, who had journeyed from Pasa- dera. Califorinia, to be present for the ex­ercises, and after a period of ten years for James Edward Rhodes 2nd, of Hart­ford, Conn. Mr. Rhodes has distinguished himself in the publication of some of the best and most recent treatises on present day economic problems. Willis Lake Har­vey of West Philadelphia was the third person thus honored but was unable to be present. He was of the class of 1909.

Commencement AddressThe address was given by Dr. Arthur

Jeremiah Roberts, president of Colby Col­lege, and his scholarly and practical mes­sage to the young men and women that arc starting out in the world went a long ways in making the exercises the success that they were. He spoke of the growth of the colleges in Maine during the last twenty years and pointed out that this growth was not due to an increase in the population of the state but to the new position that edu­cation has come to hold in the state and the nation, as well as to the new methods of education and a different viewpoint of what college education should be.

In speaking of the elements of success in life he named character and common sense as the things that made a man suc­ceed, and included in the element of com­mon sense was the ability to get along with people, and this can be done only by cult­

ivating acquaintance and friendship. He defined a college education as being to a large extent the teaching of a person how to educate himself. In this connection Dr Roberts said “Whether your formal edu­cation end now or three or four years from

Gen. Mark L. Hersey, Honored With Degree of Doctor

of Laws

now let me urge you to keep on with your your education.”

He spoke of Carlyle’s reference to the fraction of life and whether it were best to make the fraction larger by an increase in the numerator or a decrease in the den­ominator, where the numerator represent­ed ability and the denominator desire.

Dr. Roberts pointed out that it was bet­ter to have a Packard ability and a Ford desire than vice* versa. The speaker ex­pressed himself as happy in seeing a boy with an ambition several sizes too large for himself, and that he believed in “hitching your wagon to a star.” He pointed out to the graduates that they had probably formed habits during their college life of procrastination, pleasure before work, and so forth, that they would find it difficult to shake off now that they were to leave col­lege halls but which they must do for suc­cess. He also spoke of the necessity ofgood reading and the practical good in the

Book of Proverbs which contained all that there is to know about human nature.

Following Dr. Robert’s address, Dr. Aley spoke a few words before awarding the degrees. Golden words of advice they were too.

“College is the place where one learns to know, value, and appreciate men. In no other society does one have the same op­portunity to see men as they are. In col­lege the mask is off. You doubtless have learned in these four years to know the marks of a good man. If that power of recognition is carried with you into the profession you enter it will give you per­manent satisfaction, add greatly to your power and increase amazingly your own worth.

“In classroom, library, and laboratory, you have been accustomed to study and weigh evidence in order that you might arrive at valid conclusions. Throughout your college life the entire strength of the institution has been directed toward the establishment of convictions based upon evidence As a result of this you ought to go out into the world free from credulity. Your social, political, business, and reli- gous activities should be based upon knowledge of principles and fundamental truths. You should be so stable in your convictions that you would never be swayed by the various winds of doctrines that may blow by you.

“Your college experience has surely convinced you that grades, honors, and athletic letters are achieved by persistent and continuous effort You knew the old Greek teacher spoke the truth when he said ‘there is no royal road to Geometry!’ The successful life about which you have all dreamed, and the realization of which is your greatest desire will come only by hard work. Go forth this day resolved to obey the Psalmist’s injunction. “Whatso­ever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might.”

192 degrees were then granted as follows:B. S. in Agriculture to 23; B. A. in the Col­lege of Arts and Sciences to 69; Bache- lor of Pedagogy to 5; B. S. in Engineer­ing to 72 graduates of the College of Tech­nology. Twelve advanced degrees and ten certificates in the school course in Agriculture were then awarded. Twenty- three Seniors who had left the University for Military Service were graduated as of the class with which they entered. The class of 1917 thus gained two, 1919 twelve, and 1920 nine.

Would You Travel This Far?Frank H. Todd ’82 journeyed from

San Juan, Porto Rico and Everett D. Brown ’06 from Santa Domingo, Cuba to attend Alumni Day. From their enjoyment it was evident that it was worth the trip.

Graduating Glass Holds Glass Day ExercisesParts Well Presented and Enjoyed by Classmates and Friends

Class Day Exercises were held out­doors on the lawn in front of Alumni the morning of Alumni Day. It was a debat­able point whether these Senior Class Ex­ercises outside or the General Alumni meeting within Alumni Hall furnished the biggest attraction. A beautiful fir backed wooden stage seated the speakers. The entire class attired in caps and gowns carrying their canes marched in, led by Carroll C. Swift of Waltham, Mass, the Senior Marshall. Music was furnished by Pullen’s Orchestra. Raymond Smith of Brewer, football Captain and Class Presi­dent presided. The exercises were opened by prayer by the class chaplain, Robert Owen of Auburn. Margaret Blethen, of Foxcroft, class secretary, called the class roll using the familiar nicknames. These were greeted with many a smile.

The other parts were taken as follows Address to Undergraduates—Frederick aldwin, Peabody, Mass.Class History—William Blake, Houlton. Presentation of Gifts—Ida Anderson,

Island Falls, and Ralph Ranger, Dryden Oration—Philip Leary, East Lynn, Mass Class Poem—Florence Salley, Bangor Prophecy—Robert Newton, Kents Hill,

and Emilie Kritter, Haverhill, Mass. Valedictory—Albert J. Bedard, Rumford The presentation of gifts and prophecy

was as usual much enjoyed. The latter was very cleverly presented and kept the audience in a continuous good humor. It was in a conversational form between Miss Kritter and Mr. Newton, who pretended a chance meeting at some future date and

tell each other what they have heard about the various members of the class.

Following a musical number after the address to undergraduates, James A. Gan­nett, registrar of the University, presented the three inter-fraternity cups awarded for scholarship The Junior Mask cup to the fraternity having the best delegation of freshmen, scholastically, was awarded to Sigma Nu.

The Senior Skull cup which has now been running for eleven years and is award-

Alumni Watched each year to the fraternity that as a whole has the best scholarship, was this year awarded permanently to Phi Eta Kappa, as being the fraternity that in the eleven years has won it the most times. Phi Gamma Delta was a close second.

A new and larger cup presented by this year’s Senior Skulls to run for another eleven years was awarded to Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity for one year

Following the exercises on the campus in front of Alumni Hall the class march to the Library where the 1921 ivy was planted and sitting in a circle the Pipe Peace was smoked.

Halsey Wing ResignsAs Supt. of Building]

The familiar face of Halsey R. Wing superintendent of buildings and grounds at the University and well known to many generations of Maine men, will soon be seen no longer on the campus. Halsey's resignation was handed to President Aley several weeks ago and will become effec- tive as soon as a successor is hired.

Halsey came to the University from one of the small towns out of Bangor when a young man, and began his work as jan- itor of the president's house and some of the other buildings on the campus. Since that time the college has grown and with it the duties and responsibilities of Halsey He has given out no inkling of his future plans.

Information!One alumnus strolled up to the

Registration and Information Booth Alumni Day and remarked, “I see this is the Information Booth. Per- haps you can tell me how the Demp- sey-Carpentier fight is coming out?"

Good Luck, Halsey!Halsey R. Wing witnessed maybe

for the last time a Maine Commence- ment and the return of the old boys who knew him. His familiar face will be missed.

The Class of 1916 reunion was a gala holiday from start to finish. The Roman costumes were an impressive part of the Alumni Parade and the stunts on the field were hilariously received by the Commencement guests. Five years of contact with the outside world has removed none of the pep which characterized this class in college.

Trustee Agreement Returns Control Athletics to Board

Council Committee Holds Satisfac­tory Interview

Friday, June 3d, a committee appointed by the Alumni Advisory Council, consist­ing of C. Parker Crowell ’98, Philip R. Hussey ’12. and W. D. Towner ’14, met with the Board of Trustees for the pur­pose of advocating the return of the con­trol of undergraduate athletics to the Ath­letic Board

The committee was most courteously re­ceived and after a frank discussion of the points at issue the following agreement, being satisfactory to the committee and the trustees, was adopted

1 That the Athletic Board now con­sisting of three alumni, three faculty, not including the Athletic Director and four student members be permitted to continue as it did previous to July 1, 1920 the ac­tive management of all student athletics enterprises under the present athletic as sociation constitution

2 That the Board of Trustees be up resented upon the Athletic Board

3 That $4 50 per semester from each student be paid to the Treasurer of the Athletic Board for the use of the Athletic Association. The expenditures of the Ath­letic Association arc to be evidenced b\ proper vouchers filed with the University

4 That the University shall pay thesalaries of the Athletic Director and theTrack Coach All other expenditures of wh atever nature relating to athletics shall be paid by the Athletic Association

5. That the appointment of all coaches and directors and their retention in ser­vice shall be agreeable both to the Ath­letic Board and the University

6. That all athletic activities shall bedirected by the Athletic Board subject to the supervision of the University

the campus for Alumni Day where did they keep themselves? Only a mere handful registered and only three sat in at the General Alumni meeting. What’s wrong, women of Maine?

“Hamp” Bryant Popular Choice For Athletic Head

Athletic Board Elects Him to Suc­ceed James Baldwin Resigned

Robert H. Bryant of Biddeford, for two years a member of the class of 1915, has been elected the second gradtuate manager of athletics at the University His selec­tion was the unanimous choice at a special meeting of the Athletic Board, Monday af­ternoon, June 6th.

Bryant, familiarly known as “Hamp” shared the quarterback honors on the var-

sity football team of 1911 with Carl S. Cleaves ’12 and in 1912 developed into one of the stars of “the team that made Maine famous” It was that season that Maine was defeated by Harvard 7 to 0 after one of the closest contests ever seen in the Harvard Stadium In the second period Bryant’s name came very near to being engraved in Maine’s never-to-be forgotten hall of fame, as the result of the forward pass which he heaved to Donohue, who was waiting with outstretched aims all alone under the Harvard goal posts The ball by the fraction of an inch struck the cross bar and bounded back into the aims of a crimson jerseyed player The scoring ofthat touchdown and the kicking of the goal would have tied the score

At the end of his Sophomore year Bry­ant left college to enter the banking busi­ness in Biddeford After sever al years’ experience he bought out the Monti cal House at Old Orchard, Maine. This hotel he operates from the last of June to the

first part of September. He is married and has two children. He is a member of the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Mr. Bryant will rank as an associate professor but will be under the direction and control of the Athletic Board. He will commence his official duties in Septem­ber, succeeding Mr. James Baldwin who completed his duties this June and who will accept a position at Trinity College, N. C. as Athletic Director and Coach.

Baccalaureate Exercises in Chapel

Rev. Warren J. Moulton Deliversthe Address

The Baccalaureate exercises were held Sunday morning in the chapel before a large audience of alumni and friends. Rev Warren Joseph Moulton D D , President elect of the Bangor Theological Seminary, delivered the Baccalaureate address His address was both interesting and impres­sive and his reading of scripture and the prayer was executed with great solemnity and dignity

The exercises opened with the entrance of the senior class clad in caps and gown- marching in the form of a processional, ac- companied by music by the orchestra

the Lord’s Prayer was then recited by the entire congregation Then followed the Scripture Reading by Dr Moulton Following this, the University Hymn was sung by the graduating class and Dr Moulton conducted the prayer Henrietta Blackwell, Orono, a member of the gradu- ating class, then sang a hymn solo, fol­lowing which Dr Moulton delivered the Baccalaureate sermon. The exercises closed with the departing of the seniors in the same processional form in which they entered The processional was lead byCarro l C Swift, senior class marshal.

In his address, Rev. Moulton dwelt hugely on the debt the world owed to the past generations, the benefits of whose past industry the world is now leaping.

THE MAINE ALUMNUS June, 1921

Varsity Track and Baseball Seasons DisappointAthletic Followers

Track Team Barely Wins Second Place in State Meet. Baseball Team TiesWith Colby For Second in State Series

The varsity track season for 1921 was a disappointment to those who had pre­dicted an old-time championship. Tufts was easily overwhelmed 107 to 19 in a dual meet, but in the State Meet Maine was a poor second, barely nosing out Colby and Bates. In the New England’s one Maine man placed, giving our team one point on the tail end of the list. In the Nationals we failed to score a point.

The Tufts Dual MeetWinning all three places in the 440 and

880 yard runs, 220 yard low hurdles, pole vault and running broad jump and win­ning first in all other events save the high jump in which Maine tied for a first, our team walked away May 7th on Alumni Field with the dual meet with Tufts. The only competition was in the mile run whenAmes of Maine and Doherty of Tufts•

passed and repassed each other on the final stretch, the former winning by inches in 4 minutes, 38 and 4-5 seconds.

Pinkham of Maine, a senior, won the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds flat tying the University record made by Charles Rice at Lewiston in 1914.

State MeetThe ability of the Bowdoin athletes to

flock across the tape under any weather conditions resulted in old Bowdoin’s fight­ing track team almost doubling the points scored by Maine in the annual contest held May 14th at Whittier Field, Brunswick. A pouring rain which started the night before turned the usually solid Bowdoin track into a sea of mud. Sprinters were forced to stand in water over their ankles at the start. When a hurdler cleared a hurdle the splash of water as he landed almost shut him from sight. Bowdoin scored 55 1-3 points, Maine for second place with 28 1-3 points barely nosing out Colby with 26 1-3 and Bates with 26 points.

Maine’s failure to place heavily in the sprint events up to and including the quar­ter mile were the chief disappointments. That Maine came through with a second place was due to the unexpected points scored by Strout in throwing the hammer 124.82 feet for a first place, Libby winning the broad jump, Kelley winning second in the 220 yard low hurdles, and Ackley scor­ing a second in the high jump.

The pole vault, high and broad jumps were held indoors in the Hyde Gymnasium,

the weather outdoors making it almost im­possible to hold these events on the field.

The only record broken was that held by L. B. Rogers, Maine 1913, at 11 feet, 6 5-8 inches. Bishop, a Bowdoin fresh­man, vaulted 11 feet, 8 inches thereby dis­placing the mark set by Regers in 1913.

The summary:440 yard dash—Won by Hunt, Bowdoin ;

second, Palmer, Bowdoin; third, H. Pratt, Maine. Time, 57 seconds.

120 yard high hurdles—Won by Weise, Colby; second, Thomson, Bowdoin. (No third). Time, 17 seconds.

220 yard hurdles—Won by Weise, Colby; second, Kelley, Maine; third, Parent, Bow­doin. Time, 27 4-5 seconds.

100 yard dash—Won by Wiggin, Bates; second, Butler, Bowdoin; third, Pinkham, Maine. Time, 11 seconds.

One mile run—Won by Mercer, Colby; second, Buker, Bates; third, Ames, Maine. Time, 5 minutes 4-5 seconds.

Running high jump—Won by Philbrook, Bowdoin, height 5 feet, 8 inches; second, Ackley, Maine, 5 feet, 5 inches; third, Wood, Maine, 5 feet, 4 inches.

Putting 16 pound shot—Won by Cook, Colby, distance 36.72 feet; second, Bisson, Bowdoin, 35.5 feet; third, Kirkpatrick, Bowdoin, 35.22 feet.

Throwing 16 Pound Hammer—Won by Strout, Maine, distance, 124.82 feet; sec­ond, Mason, Bowdoin, 115.31 feet; third, Cook, Colby, 112.63 feet.

Throwing Discus—Won by Luce, Bates, distance, 112.7 feet; second, J. Bishop, Maine, 110.89 feet; third, L. Cook, Colby, 109.41 feet.

Running Broad Jump—Won by Libby, Maine, distance, 21 feet, 5 inches; second, Parent, Bowdoin, 21 feet 1/4 inch; third, Pratt, Maine, 20 feet, 91/8 inches.

Pole Vault—Won by F. Bishop, Bow­doin, height 11 feet, 8 inches (record) ; Cook, Bowdoin, Kemp, Colby, Stearns, Maine, tied for second at 11 feet.

New England MeetEleven men competed in the New Eng­

land meet at Tech Field, Cambridge, Mass. May 20 and 21st, six of them qualifying in the preliminaries on the twentieth, b ut only one scoring in the finals. This honor belongs to Thomas, the Maine sprinter who took fourth in the 220 yard dash.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology won the meet scoring 46 points. Her near­est rival was Boston College with 23 points. Bates was sixth with 10 points, Colby eighth with 7, and Bowdoin, eleventh with 3 points. Maine finished two places behind Bowdoin with 1 point.

Baseball SeasonThe varsity ball team finished the state

series with an even break in games won and lost, tying with Colby for second place. Bowdoin winning every game of the series deserved the championship. Bates won the championship a year ago but was forced to take last place this year.

The story of the season is continued from the last Alumnus.

Bowdoin 10—Maine 8Seven runs batted across the plate in one

inning, turned a Maine lead into a Bow­doin victory at Brunswick, May 7th. Play­ing perfect ball up to the eighth inning Maine looked like a logical winner. In the fatal inning Jowett, the Maine pitcher, commenced to groove the ball over the plate and seven clean hits were garnered by Bowdoin batters. Maine outhit Bow­doin but scattered its hits. Wood, Sar­gent, Stearns, and Lunge were the heavy hitters for Maine.The box score:

Bowdoin 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 7 x—10Maine 0 2 0 0 2 4 0 0 0 — 8

Maine 5—Colby 4May 11th at Waterville, Maine won her

second game of the series by defeating Colby 5 to 4. A fifth inning rally after trailing on the short end of a 3 to 0 score for four innings won the game. The game went along in peaceful one-two-three style until the eventful fifth. With two men out Wood, Sargent and P. Johnson started the rally with a hit apiece. Young and Captain A1 Johnson followed with hits forcing two runs. Two men came in on the Colby right fielder’s poor throw to the plate following Steam’s hit. Wood, the Maine center fielder hit safely three out of five times up. Jowett pitched for Maine. The box score:

THE MAINE ALUMNUS 99

New Hampshire 7—Maine 2Sherwood of New Hampshire had little

difficulty in holding Maine to four hits on Alumni Field, May 12th. A three bagger by Captain A1 Johnson, followed by a single by Stearns, netted one run for Maine, the other coming on a scratch single and two muffs in succession by Con­nor, the New Hampshire center fielder. Rusk in the box for Maine was somewhat wild and three passed balls of the Maine catcher were costly. New Hampshire ran wild on the bases and turned the seven hits they made into as many runs.

New Hampshire 31 1 0 0 0 1 1 0— 7Maine 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 — 2

Maine 4—Norwich 3A ninth inning rally turned a nip and

tuck game with Norwich at Orono, May 18th into a 4 to 3 victory. Nichols, a Maine freshman, pitched a good game striking out ten of the visiting batters. Norwich began scoring in the third inning, when with none out, a base on balls and two singles netted a tally. Another score was chalked up in the fourth following a passed ball by the Maine catcher. In the fifth a double with a man on base resulted in a run

Maine’s rally in the ninth was started by the inability of the visitors to hold the ball. The failure to catch a third strike by the Norwich catcher, a wild throw to first by the visiting pitcher, and a Texas leaguer brought in the tying and then the winning run. Captain A1 Johnson and Sargent played excellent ball for Maine. Young with a double, Stearns with a triple, and Monroe with two singles hit well for Maine.The box score:

Bales for the second time by the score of 3 to 2. The first two tallies by Maine were made in the third inning when an uncovered throw to first base with the bases filled scored two Maine men. Jowett pitched for Maine allowing but three hits. Most of the runs were scored on errors. Maine’s winning run came in the eighth when Sargent and Young singled, A1 Johnson reached first on a fielder’s choice, and a Bales infielder muffed Steam’s pop fly.The box score:

Bowdoin 8—Maine 0Maine might have prevented a white­

wash on Alumni Field May 28th had King not attempted to stretch a triple into a homer. His try for the plate was nipped by an accurate throw. Bowdoin outclassed Maine from the start. Maine had an op­portunity to score with none out and a man on third. Flynn, the Bowdoin pitch­er, who twirled masterful ball all through the game, struck out the next three bat­ters. A triple by W. Needleman of Bow­doin in the first inning, homers by Clif­ford in the second and D. Needleman in the eighth were offerings which paved the way for a clean vcitory. King, the Maine center fielder got the only long hit for Maine—the three bagger which he tried unsuccessfully to stretch into a homer. Jowett, pitching for Maine, got a bad start and allowed seven hits in the eight innings he pitched Flynn, for Bowdoin, kept the few Maine hits scattered and fanned nine menThe box score:Bowdoin 0 3 2 0 0 0 0 2 0—7

Tufts 5—Maine 1With a Commencement crowd filling the

grandstand and bleachers, Maine made a poor showing June 3d, losing in a loosely played game 5 to 1 to the crack Tufts nine Six errors were recorded for each team. Weafer, the Tufts pitcher allowed but six hits and with the stick contributed two home runs. Tufts hit Nichols, the Maine freshman for nine safeties. An error of the Tufts catcher in dropping the ball while tagging Captain Johnson at home plate gave Maine her one run.The box score:

Tufts 3 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0—5Maine 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0—4

Colby 6—Maine 3Colby raised havoc with our Alumni

Day ball game on Alumni Field heading Maine 6 to 3 for the final count. Better all around fielding was demonstrated by our team, but the sad lack of timely hit­ting cost the game.

Maine threatened a rally in the ninth inning when with two out, Rusk, who was sent in as a pinch hitter poled out a three bagger, scoring Prescott who had reached first on an error. Rusk ended the game when he was thrown out at the plate after attempting to stretch his long hit into a homer. Jowett pitched for Maine striking out six Colby batters.The box score:

War Memorial CampaignTo Be Started Later

Report Recommends Building to Cost $100,000 as Fitting Memorial

At a meeting of the War Memorial Committee appointed jointly by Mr. Allen W. Stephens, President of the General Alumni Association, and Mr. L. C. South­ard as chairman of the Executive Commit­tee of the Alumni Advisory Council, the following recommendations after careful consideration were adopted and are hereby presented as its report:

1. Nature of the Memorial. It should be dignified and in keeping with the su­preme service rendered by our 38 alumni who gave their lives in the World War. The committee does not believe that a memorial gate at the entrance to the cam­pus, or as part of a memorial fence sur­rounding the Athletic Field, will properly serve to commemorate their sacrifice. On the other hand, your committee does be­lieve that a building should be erected to serve as the war memorial. The nature of the building (whether a union building, etc.) should be determined at the time set for the campaign.

2. Cost. At least $100,000 should be raised for the war memorial from the alumni, students and friends of the Uni­versity. The sacrifice of our heroes of the World War demands the best that our alumni body and their friends can erect. A campaign for a less amount would re­quire the same organization, the promo­tion cost would not be greatly lessened, and almost the same amount of energy would be expended.

3. Campaign. The mailing lists of the alumni, the field organization of the Alumni Association, the present high cost of building materials, and the general business depression are unfavorable fac­tors which do not warrant an immediate campaign. Under no circumstances should the campaign be in progress during the year when the University is appearing be­fore the state legislature for funds. There­fore, we recommend that the campaign should not begin before the Commence­ment of 1923.

Old Varsity Ball Captain Hired as Coach

Wilkie C. Clark ’00 With Splendid Playing and Coaching Record

Will Return Next Year

THE MAINE ALUMNUS

The first act of the new Athletic Board was the election June 9th of Wilkie C. (“Scoggy”) Clark ’00, varsity baseball captain in 1900 and later professional play­er, as the baseball coach for the season of

Wilkie C. Clark ’00, New Baseball Coach

1922. For the past season Clark coached the Colby team, which from a poor start finally tied Maine for second place in the state series.

Clark was the varsity catcher during his four years, and was the receiving end of the famous Cushman and Clark battery, one of the best ever produced at Maine and which for four years was the fear of the other state colleges.

During his college course Clark was catcher for the Meriden team in the Con­necticut League where he played ball with such famous players as Sockalexis be­lieved by many to have been the peer of all American batsmen. After that he played ball in the Bangor team of the New England League in 1901. Afterwards he played with Nashville in the Southern League, Toledo and Grand Rapids in the Central League, Lincoln and Sioux Falls in the Western League, and Los Angeles and Portland in the Pacific League.

In his fifteen years as a professional he caught 1400 ball games.

For the past ten years Clark has coached college teams and has had charge of the

baseball teams of University of Minnesota, Oregon Agricultural College, Occidental,) Cumberland, Colby and other colleges,

Clark was on the football squad his last two years in college. He also played in the hand. He entered college from North Anson Academy and became a member of the Q. T. V. society.

When Is Pay Day?Question Worries Faculty Members

Did you ever have your employer pass by pay day without giving you your check? If you have experienced this disappoint­ment, you can sympathize with the one hundred odd faculty members of the Uni­versity who were obliged on May 15th for the second time this year, to wait for their checks covering salaries earned in the previous month. Financial affairs were finally straightened out so that the uncer­tainty was removed June 4th when the de­layed checks were paid.

The lack of cash on hand to meet the payroll was caused by the shortening, by $30,000, of the state appropriation for the six months period ending June 30, 1921. This was due to a miscalculation at Augus­ta.

It seems that when the University lacked cash in March to meet the payroll that an emergency bill carrying an appropriation of $30,000 was introduced and passed in the Legislature. This was paid, and in­stead of being deducted from the annual appropriation for the year ending June 30, 1922 as an amendment to the University resolve provided, it was deducted by the State Auditor’s department from the six months appropriation ending June 30, 1921. This made the present funds due from the State lacking that amount.

Heretofore when the appropriated funds were shortly due and pay day came around the trustees have borrowed on short terms the necessary funds to bridge the Univer­sity over the period. But after the con­troversy in the Legislature last winter re­garding their action, and especially in view of the Governor’s attitude, the trustees do not feel like doing any more pledging of this sort. Hence the long wait to June 4th when the $30,000 finally came from Augusta as the result of the joint efforts of Treasurer Dunn, Trustee Houghton, and Councilman Powers of the Governor’s staff.

The class standing in the payment of alumni dues, as reported by Treasurer Gannett, for the present year up to and including June 15th presents some inter­esting comparisons. 1885 with 45% of its members paying the $3 or $10 dues is again the leader in financial support to the General Alumni Association. A year ago the class led with a 50% payment. 1882 is a close second with 44.4%, having climbed from 22% a year ago. 22 classes have gained over last year’s figures while 24 have dropped below. One class, 1913, equalled its record of last year. The class­es of 1874 and 1878 are non-contributors.

Annual ReportAlumni Secretary

Reviews Alumni Happenings of Year

102

Your Alumni Office on the campus with its paid secretary and, assistants is about to complete its second year of existence. A year ago it was not difficult to point out to you in this annual report the definite accomplishments of the office and the working alumni organization behind it. This year, while the individual and col­lective activity has been greater, the results of this loyal alumni devotion to cur Uni­versity and to our alumni organizations have not been so manifest. Your secretary has been content to slowly lay the founda­tion for the bigger accomplishments which can only reach fruition after months and maybe years of preparation. This year, too, the work of the Alumni Office has been in quietly bringing together the per­sonal elements and forces in our alumni organization for the betterment of our University. The Alumni Office therefore is only a co-partner; by the very nature of its work it can claim no credit for it­self; its purpose is to continually find a way to serve the University and its form­er student body. If this report shows that it has been of some service, renewed impe­tus will be given to its work in the future.

Personnel of the Alumni OfficeDuring the first year that the Alumni

Office functioned as a definite part of the organized life of the college, the full time service of your secretary, one stenographer and the part time of another was sufficient for its work. In June 1920 the burden of preparing the Alumni Directory necessi­tated the hiring of a file clerk. During the busy winter months when our legislative work was at its height another stenog­rapher temporarily joined the force. At present, two girls are daily kept busy and thru the generosity of President Aley the services of Miss Mills, his private secre­tary, are constantly used. Now that the

directory work is nearing completion, it is planned to continue but one full time as­sistant. The University must be given credit for financing the clerical assistance to your secretary.

The Maine AlumnusLike all new alumni publications, THE

MAINE ALUMNUS has been obliged to proceed in a modest manner. The paper has been improved in contents, more illus­trations have been used, and yet it is far from the finished magazine product which

it should be to represent our University and alumni life. It still remains a bi­monthly, appearing in the months of Octo­ber, December, February, April, May and June. By vote of the Alumni Advisory Council a bulk subscription brings it free to the home of all alumni and former stu­dents. This practice should be continued until the majority of our alumni feel the power of the alumni work we have started.

THE MAINE ALUMNUS

During the present fiscal year it is esti­mated that the publication will cost the General Alumni Association $1590.75. A year ago the Association, with cheaper printing rates, expended $1288.94. The ad­vertising the first year totalled $449.61 from 20 advertisers. This year slightly in ex­cess of $800 will be realized from 24 ad­vertising accounts. The University during both years has assumed the mailing and

addressing expense Next year, the reduced University appropriation will necessitate the Association taking over the entire ex­pense of printing, mailing, and addressing and will prevent the expansion of the mag­azine into a monthly publication as was the hope and plan of your editor

Local AssociationsA year ago 18 local associations were in

existence Today there arc 30 of these local groups Your secretary was directly responsible for the formation of the Gold­en Gate Alumni Chapter at San Francisco, Cal, the Hartford, Conn and Worcester, Mass associations, and in the State of Maine, of the Waldo, Hancock Somerset Franklin, Oxford and York County groups He was instrumental in the formation of the Aroostook County association and the Southern California Association at Los Angeles. Cal The Boston Club of Maine

Women came into existence unaided Dur mg the year the Eastern New York As­sociation with headquarters at Schenectady and the Philadelphia Association perfected their organizations Two local groups are now in the process of formation It may be said that the limit of organizing local groups where the numerical and geographi- cal strength is sufficient has been reached for the present The problem ahead is to properly stimulate and direct the activity of these splendid local associations

Universal Maine Night

The campus celebration of Maine Night last fall was planned and directed by the Alumni Office with the assistance of the undergraduate Athletic Association th a t this direction by the Alumni Office will warrant its continuance I believe was demonstrated by the success of the affair last fall Your secretary wishes to im­press the holding of this Maine Night by all local associations far removed from the campus as a step worthy of serious consid- eration It will then become truly “univer- sal ”

Legislative Campaign

For the first time in the history of the University, the alumni in an organized capacity assisted in the securing of an up propriation from the state legislature Realizing that the inadequacy of past up propriations was partly due to the failure to “sell” the University to the legislator, your secretary was instructed to reach each individual member of the Legislature prior to the convening of that body in Augusta in January T his he did by a continuous trip in December embracing interviews with seme 100 alumni in 30 of the towns and cities of the state. To each alumnus so

THE MAINE ALUMNUS

interviewed, the definite needs of the Uni­versity were outlined. These alumni in turn, picked to interview certain members of the Legislature, were made responsible for selling the University. Their coopera­tion was splendid. As a result of their activity the 80th Legislature met at Augus­ta with a better appreciation of the needs of the University.

It was inevitable that mistakes should he made. Cooperation between the Uni­versity authorities and the alumni doing active work at Augusta was at times lack­ing Both groups were to blame. The happy result, which augers well for the future, is that both alumni and administra­tive workers came to a better appreciation of their value to each other in promoting the cause of the University

The failure of the University to secure an appropriation adequate for its needs during the next biennium was a disappoint­ment to all The amount appropriated is called by some a compromise between the conflicting elements in the Legislature, some of which were ready to assist the University to a far greater financial de- gree and others to knife an appropriation which gave the University an opportunity to continue its present educational training The fact that but 2 members of the House and 2 members of the Senate sustained the governors’ veto is considered by many the result of the combined University and alumni work in the campaign

The value of the Alumni Office in this legislative work is demonstrated by the re- marks of two promine nt members of the Finance Committee of the Legislature who stated that only thru that office had they been able to get the tacts which they needed for a study of the needs of the University.

Unusual credit should he given to George Thompson ’91 and Edward E. Chase ’13 who were of inestimable value in this work at Augusta Each member of our alumni Legislative Committee should be thanked for the work which his time permitted him to give To that hand­ful of alumni members of the Legislature who used their influence with their fellow legislators great appreciation should also be shown

Law School SituationThat the Law School controversy over

the reapointment of former Dean Walz. as a member of the University faculty should be settled is to the credit of the members of the Law Sclool Committee headed by James Gillin L’13 and those offi­cers of the General Alumni Association and members of the Alumni Advisory Council who gave their time to a study of the situation.

Constitution

A year ago your secretary recommended the continuance of the committee on Con­stitution of which Elmer J. Wilson '07 is chairman. Mr. Wilson tackled alone the problem of preparing a new Constitution, and with the advice of members of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Ad­visory Council and your Alumni Secretary he has prepared a document which will admirably serve the present, and I trust at least the immediate future, constitutional requirements of our active alumni associa­tion. The major credit for this must be given to Mr. Wilson.

Alumni Secretaries Conference

The officers of your alumni association and members of your Alumni Advisory Council have given much encouragement to the participation by your alumni secre­tary in the annual meeting of the associ­ation of Alumni Secretaries. The meet­ing this year was held May 19, 20 and 21 at Cornell University where 60 alumni secretaries representing as many institu­tions gathered for a three day conference. Your secretary presented a paper entitled “Alumni Advisory Bodies—Their Powers, Duties and Accomplishments.” During the year he served as a member of the Execu­tive Committee of the association. At the meeting of Alumni Magazines Associated, held in conjunction with the Secretaries' Conference, your secretary was elected first vice president.

War Memorial

The War Memorial Committee appointed by President Stephens has prepared a re­port which will be read at this meeting today. Your secretary heartily approves of it and recommends its adoption.

Class Secretaries

The secretaries of the reunion classes have been active in circularizing their classmates during the year. The result of their efforts will be shown in the reunion class attendance at this Alumni Day.

The secretaries of other classes have, with one or two exceptions, been inactive. The emphasis of our alumni organization has not been placed upon the class unit, hence the comparative inactivity with the exception of the reunion class groups.

Class Reunions

Your secretary recommends a consider­ation of the Dix Plan for Class Reunions adopted by the University of Michigan. At this University, it has met with marked

success, and if not applied too rigidly, would be highly satisfactory if adopted at the University of Maine. It provides for class reunions not on every even five years after graduation, but at such intervals as will make it possible for each class to re- une with the other classes which were in college during its undergraduate days. For instance, under this plan, in 1921 the class of 1916 would meet with 1913, 1914 and 1915. In 1925, the class of 1916 would reune with 1917, 1918 and 1919. By hold­ing two reunions in 4 years the class of 1916 would thus meet with the other six

. classes which were in college during some portion of its 4 undergraduate years. The value of such reunions speaks for itself.

The annual award of the 1908 Com­mencement Cup for the largest percentage of returning members of a class presents a basis of award which is manifestly un- fair to the younger and larger classes who must compete with the older classes of much smaller numerical strength. Your secretary recommends that a committee be appointed to divide the classes into two or more groups so that only the classes grad­uating wi thin certain restricted periods shall compete on the same basis. This classification will necessitate one or more additional cups. Your secretary therefore Calls attention to the possibility of some class or classes presenting a cup or cups from their class funds for the more equi­table competition for attendance honors at Commencement.

Executive Committee of the Alumni Advisory Council

The wisdom of appointing an Executive Committee of 5 members to represent the Alumni Advisory Council between meet­ings was never better justified than during the past year. Three all day meetings, at which matters of immediate vital impor­tance were transacted, were held at the City Club at Boston, Mass. These matters are presented in the report submitted by Chairman L. C. Southard 75. The mem­bers of the committee deserve the unani­mous hearty commendation of all alumni for their devotion and loyalty. Your sec­retary wishes to again voice his personal appreciation for the cooperation and as­sistance which has been rendered him by

"this committee and by Allen W. Stephens ’99, who as president of the General Alumni Association, has worked with them on every matter affecting the alumni and University interests.

Athletics

The alumni interest in athletics, which has been as pronounced during the past year as ever before, has been gratifying. That this interest has been conducive to a

general reform in athletic management will I trust be indicated, not only by any action .which the Alumni Advisory Council or the General Alumni Association may take, but by a thorough consideration of an ath­letic reorganization by the president of the University and the Trustees themselves during this Commencement. The alumni members of the Athletic Board and Philip R. Hussey ’12, chairman of the Athletic Committee of the General Alumni Associ­ation, have, in my opinion, made a thor­ough study of the situation and should be commended for their work.IMembership Subscription Campaign*

To C. W. Crockett ’99 was assigned the task of raising the funds from alumni dues

finance the General Alumni Association

I its work during the year. His energy pushing the campaign has been unusual.

To Mr. Crockett, his Division commanders and some 30 local chairmen, a vote of ap-

preciation should be rendered That the amount raised to date should not be suffi-

ient to finance the association is the fault the Alumni Office which could not give Mr. Crockett and his workers the mailing

lists early enough in the year for a proper start. This condition will not arise an­

ther year because the Alumni Directory will be off the press and ready for imme- liate use.

Alumni DirectoryFor over a year the Alumni Office staff has been preparing the second Alumni

directory. The extra clerical labor neces- ary during the legislative campaign very seriously hindered the completion of this important work. For weeks at a time only the part time services of one assistant could be given to the arranging, verifying and typing of material. The directory will

the most complete ever issued by the University. All former students will be

listed with the class with which they en- tered. This feature alone necessitates the preparation of material covering 2500 names. The material in a few days will ready for the printer. Later in the sum-

mer the edition should be off the press id a free copy in the hands of every former student

In Conclusion Your secretary wishes to thank Mr James A. Gannett '08 for his wholehearted responce to the many demands from the Alumni Office, and to particularly com mend the work of Miss Harriet B Tup-

Miss Laura E Bo'an and Mi ss Betty Mills who have so conscientiously de

fed themselves to their tasks in ass isting him thru a strenuous year's work

The Alumni Office is not perfect. If it served you well in some capacity it

THE MAINE ALUMNUS

will rejoice and continue its work in the future with renewed energy. Point out its failings too and it will endeavor to cor- rect and improve for the year to come.

“The stream of propaganda” declared Dr. Hodgdon, “can be traced to the very heart of the federal government, so firmly are its protagonists entrenched.”

The letter to the trustees said in part:“There have been fostered by faculty

and outsiders, Bolshevism, communism and other cults, the practice of which is des­tructive to American ideas and principles Unsigned letters have come mysteriously to my desk, warning me against the principle I have preached; namely, loyalty to Ameri­canism and American industrial life as the basis of American citizenship.

“I have been visited by so-called ‘Reds’ and foreign born members of organizations claiming to be backed by strong influences.

Such representations, undoubtedly are part of a deep-laid plan to make Valparaiso a center of radical teaching.

For the Betterment of Mankind

IN the rush of present day living, very few of us ever stop for a m om ent to sum

up the benefits of modern civilization or to contrast them w ith past inconveniences.

Electricity, for instance. M arvelous, w e say, but there w e stop. W h a t m akes it marvelous? N ot w h at has been done, but rather w hat yet rem ains to be accomplished. It is the undeveloped possibilities of this magic force which m ake the w hole world wonder w h at w ill come next.

And it is the future w h ich w ill determ ine just to w h at extent electricity m ay become a faithful servant of the public. T he past achievem ents of the General E lectric Com­pany are n o w everyday history—from the chaining of N ature to create electric power, to the vast num ber of w ays for m aking that power useful in the daily life of every hum an being.

Each year has seen som e n ew contribution from G -E to the w orld’s progress. That this w ill continue is certain, because of the fact that this w hole organization and its remarkable facilities are devoted to studying the requirem ents of m ankind in every w alk of life and fully satisfying them w ith som e­thing electrical.
