Frosh InvestigatorsLearn About Gas-Laws

Two scientifically-inclined fresh-men in the first-year chemistry lab-oratory, tiring of their theoreticalionization experiments, eluded thewatchful eyes of their instructorsand set out to transform one of"Beaker Joe's" washbottles into afire-extinguisher. But the inexper-ienced yearlings had woefully un-derestimated the amount of carbondioxide that could be generated bymixing sodium bicarbonate andsulphuric acid. When the bottlewas inverted the gas pressure blewout the stopper and squirted theliquid all over the suits of the un-fortunate experimenters.

Beaver Chosen asPermanent Design

For Senior Rings

Dome is Rejected After MuchDiscussion as Emblem

Of Technology

The question of a symbolical SeniorRing has finally been settled by thechoice of the beaver as tile officialemblem of Technology 1y the Insti-trite Committee. Following a heateddiscussion of the issue at the lastmeeting of tile committee it was de-cided to postpone the matter until thenext meeting wvhichl was held lastnight at 5: 00 ill Walker 'Memorial.

Twvo designs lvere under considera-tiOll as being most symbolical of theInstitute. A minol ity favored thledome as being mol e dignified ill ap-pearance and tyopical as a rep~resenlta-tion of anl engineering scholOO. How-ever, r ecognizing tile fact that thebeav er has been accepted lay a latepresident as the mascot of Techn~ologyit wvas thoulglt more desirable to usetllis in the design of the ring.

Favor Point for Glove FightSince the Execuative Committee of

thle Athletic Association has the finalauthority in thle matter of points giv-en for evtents onl Field Day, the Insti-tulte Committee found itself powerlessto take ally active measures ill re-,-ard to a redistribution of l7oilts. Tilecommittee did go on record as favor-nii,- use of a point in the Glove Fight.

It wvas felt that if the outcome of;Field Day depended in p~art uponI theiresult of the Glove Fight, ill would pro-mot'e more enthusiasm for the annualclassic and give to the studcellt bodya better scllool Spirit.

"SCARLET PAGES"THE PLYMOUTH

Exhibiting - all the qualities thathiave made her so famous in her pro-

fession, Elsie Ferguson is affordingBostonl a dramatic treat in "ScarletPages," the current offering at ThePlymouth. The very fact of her ap-pearance in B5oston is alone a matter

o~f note, and one is doubly apprecia-tive that she gives a performance so%worthy of her reputation.

With great charm of voice and man-ner, Miss Ferguson dominates theplay, and makes the most of the some-

vvhat limited opportunities it gives.As a brilliant criminal lawyer, sheenters into her role with a depth ofCeeling seldom seen on the stage, andmakes of 'Mary Bancroft" a charactervividly alive.

The plot of the drama has to dowith the trial of a cabaret entertainerwrongfully accused of the unjustifiedmurder of her father, for which crimeMiss Ferguson defends the girl. Whileconvincing testimony builds up a surecase for the state, the audience wit-nesses a thrilling court room scene,and is tense with excitement until theharassed "Nora Mason" finally givesthe real motive f or the crime. As itis divulged, the successful career ofher counsel tumbles into ignominy.But telling the whole plot would robthe evening of its zest.

Miss Ferguson, who makes a poeticgesture of smelling a vase of flowers,comes to the climax of her portrayalin the second act. The modern Portiarivals the medieval original in hermasterful summation of the case, aspeech exhibiting the star's extraor-dinary voice to great advantage.Kathryn March's interpretation of herdifficult part of the murderess was un-iformly good. As her sweetheart,Robert Williams gave a splendid per-formance, Assured and likeable, hew as most authentic ill his character-ization, and his acting made a pleasing-contrast to the seriousness of the restof the cast.

"MEcASU RE FOR M EASU RE"TH E REPERTORY

One of Shakespeare's rarer plays isthe offering at the Repertory in thefinal wveek of ' 3Measulre for Measure."It is the first production of this playin Boston in thirty years making itmore unfamiliar even than their re-cenlt production of "A Winter's Tale."

Typically Elizabethan, in humor, inthe mechanics of dramatic effects asin speech, the modern audience stillfinds much in the piece to hold itssympathletic interest. Mquchl howeverhas been done in the way of condenl-sationl of the originally rambling ver-si-on and not a few of the more ob-jectionable passages such as MistressOverdone's chatter about the state ofher business and the talk betweenBarnadine and Abhorson in the prisonhlave very sensibly been omitted.

Lark Taylor plays the part of the1 Duke wcho leaves his affairs in theIhands of his deputy, Antgelo, playedIby How~ard Kyle, while he dons afriar's garb the better to observe theGovel nment of his city. Angelo verypresently gets into trouble by askinL-for the execution of a young noble-,.- an, Claudcio, cn an old statute. To'Maudio's sister, Isabella, he offers aliaison wnitle him as the price of herbl other's life. Then fellowv a swiftlymoving succession of deceptions anddisguises in a thoroughly Shakes-Peareanl manner to the final conquestjustice, retribution andl mercy.

L

HONOR BOUND t

TPIFYING the worst points of the "younger generation" as ETcanted by the bigoted older people, Technology studentshave demonstrated a lack of appreciation for the work of the Chemistry Department. One hears often that the Instituteltakes on too much the air of a f actory, and yet the efforts of the<chemists to beautify their building are met by petty larceny.

The project made possible through a gift from Mrs. Moore, as is explained elsewhere in this issue, there have been hung in isthe corridors of Building Four a series of pictures. Each pic-, ture represents considerable work and money, and the whole makes up a valuable collection.

Maintaining this collection in its entirety places a trust on,the student body. The man who removed one of these printslfrom the wall last summer violated this trust. He did not real-ize, perhaps, the value of each individual picture, nor thenecessity for preserving the collection as a whole. He prob-ably wanted a clevrer old-time cartoon, and allowed personaldesires to supersede his thoughts for the rest of us.

W~e recommend a careful study of these pictures. No matterin what phase of engineering one's interests lie, he will gain abroadening knowledge from the collection. Particularly doesit provide inspiration and incentive for those studying chem-istry. Only by realizing fully the great good which this collec-tion does will the students appreciate the trust they have beengiven. We appeal to gentlemen. This collection is for every-one's good-keep it intact.

OFFICIAL RECOGNITIONACTION taken by the Institute Committee at its meeting last

evening has definitely made the Beaver Ring the officialemblem at Technology. In spite of an opinion expressed by a|minority that the animal might just as well be a muskrat orXhedgehog, the majority was in favor of a beaver rather than 1the dome as the design of the Senior Ring.|

While it was admitted that the dome, the central figure oIthe Institute buildings, would be as symbolic of Technology asthe beaver, adopted as a symbol during time of need for suchseveral years ago, it was felt tliat other factors outweighedthis sentiment. A ring with a dome in r elief on its face wouldbe, it was felt, too heavy. The sample of this kind was a pon-derous affair, while the sample using the beaver was much moreartistic. One representative stated that the dome design was"'too much like a prep school insignia."

After considerable discussion it was decided to adopt anexpensive ring, something which would be of intrinsic as well assentimental value. Since it was to be good, said its exponents,it is much wiser to use the more beautiful design thereon.

It is hoped that the ring adopted at this time will be retainedalways as a standard. With its beaver, it whill be symbolic ofthe Institute, and will be easily recognizable. The final designwill be longer than it is high, and in this respect the ring willbe distinctive. The Ring Committee reports that of five hundredsamples, they only saw five or six of this type.

WALKER BLUE LAWSSUNDAY is indeed a day of rest, but in spite of the legal regu-

lations in Massachusetts, Technology is not doing its smallpart towards carrying out Sabbath observance. On the oneevening which Institute students might devote to rest and re-laxation in its lounges and library, Walker Memorial is closed.

There has been of late considerable expression of opinion bythe dormitory men on this matter. They feel that many menwould enjoy going over to Walker on Sunday evenings. Whilethey are able to -et supper that night at the dining room. thatand the lounges are closed at seven. If they swish to read theymust to go to their own rooms instead of enjoying the com-fortable quarters provided in the reading rooms. If they areinterested in music, they must either go to a theater or locate aradio, while if the building were open ample opportunity forindulging a desire for the best in music whould be available.

W'e trust that thoughtful consideration will be given thisobjection. Wtalker is for the students, and any changes for thegood of the body should receive attention.

That Cynthia Brooke was out ofcast in playing the role of the allur-ing novice to the sisterhood is per-haps only an attempt to make herapparent period of life conform tothat of Angelo's. It would howeverseem much more reasonable hadCynthia Latham, who played the partof Angelo's jilted one, been cast in therole of the desired one.

Arthur Powvers does a hilarious jobwith the low comedy and the cast asa whole shows an increasing capacityfor working together as its membersgain experience with ;Mr. Jewett'sShakespeare.

23 COLLEGES WILL RUNI line.Herm| threwNext Monday afternoon both the

Varsity and freshman cross-coulltryteams will be pitted against the coun-try's best in the annual I. C. A. A.A. A. cross-country run at Van Cort-landt Park in New York City. Atotal of 284 men, representing 23colleges in the Eastern part of theUnited States, will take part in the21st annual Varsity Tun. 195 menfrom 16 colleges will run in the 10thannual freshman event.

Bates is sending a Varsity team toNew York to increase the prestigethat this college has already gainedin cross-country this year. The Batesharriers took the Maine State titleaway from the U~niversity of Maineearlier in the season and last weekcaptured the N. E. I. C. A. A. titlefrom eleven New England collegesand Universities.

N. Y. U. Has Good TeamNew York University has the most

promising team of the New York Cityteams. Last Tuesday in the New YorkMetropolitan College title races atVan Cortlandt Park, N. Y. U. finishedfirst with a score of 24. Columbialwas second with 31 while C. C. N. Y.came in third with a total of 68.Manhattan college was fourth and lastwith a score of 87. In this race N.Y. U. had nine men cross the line be-fore the fifth man had crossed forColumbia. The N. Y. U. runnersfinished 2, 4, 6, 6, 7, S. 11, 12, and 13,

vhile Columbia men took 1, 3, 9, 10,14. Hagen of Columbia was the inl-dividual winner with Lerner of N. Y.U. a close second.

The following is a list of the col-leges entered:

"Pat" Pattison, the referee, did notknow what the rules were in such acase and so he put the ball on thetwenty-yard line. THE TECH thenstarted a drive down the field whichwas finally halted on Technique's 25-yard line. From then on until the endof the halt the ball moved back andforth in the middle of the field.

Starting with the second halt THETECH made a concentrated drivedown the field. Smashing line plays by-the fullback Harry Kamy and endruns by Houston, Smith, and Davisnetted three first downs. The teamthreatened to score but once again theopposing team held. Techniquepunted out of danger and the thirdquarter ended with the score still 0-0.

Truax Scores TouchdownIll the last quarter both teams see-

sawed back and forth for some timeIand then THE TECH started thedrive dI~wn the field whicll finallyresulted in a touchdown. By lineplunges and end runs the team ad-vanced to the 7-yard line when Tech-nique's line held for three downs.With the end of the game only a fewminutes awvay the one touchdown ofthe game wvas made. The point afterthe touclldownl was scored by a passto Roddy.

Largest Power Development inNew England Shown in

Miniature

One of New England's largesthydro-electric developments is at pres-ent oil display in miniature in themain banking room of the CentralTrust Company near Central Square,Cambridge. Here is reproduced toscale the gigantic Davis Bridge Damand the Harriman Station of the NewEngland Power Company. The out-fit is, in outward appearance, an ac-tual working model, and shows thecomplete course of the water fromthe reservoir through the station tothe river below.

The Davis Bridge development wasbegun in 1922 and completed in 1924,and has engaged the special inlterestof engineers the world over, prin-cipally because the dam is one of thelargest in the world made by the mod-ified hydraulic earth fill process. Itis located on the Deerfield River nea'rthe town of Whlitiiighams Vermont,and is 200 feet in height, 1300 feetwide at the base, 1 250 feet long onthe crest, and contains 1,900,000 cu-bic yards of earth. The reservoirwhich it creates has a, capacity of38,000,000,000 gallons of wvater.

Dam Prevents FloodsI

dam is to conserve the water from therains and the melting snow il thespring, it also acts as a flood preven-tative. During the flood of November,1927, it was due to this dam that theDeerfield River valley was saved fromthe widespread destruction which ac--companied the flood stage of everyother New England river. The damis said to have caught and held,-with a neighboring reservoir, over15,000,000,000 gallons at that time.

From the reservoir the water dropsover the edge of a circular spillwayand falls vertically 1S0 feet, to dis-charge through a tunnel 21/2 miles inlength. This tunnel is 14 feet in di-ameter, and ends ill three pellstocks,w hichl lead the w ater to tile turbines,and generators in the powter house.To prevent rupturing the pellstockswhvlei the turbines are shut down dueto loss of load, a surge tank is lo--cated at the point where the wlaterleaves the tunnel and enters the pen-stocks. This is located on the sideof the mountain ab~ove the generatingstation.

The entire process is demonstratedw-itlh water ill the model. The dam,and spillway are made to a scale of400 to one. Altlloughl ill the actualprototype the distance fromt the reser-voir to the station is about threemliles, the scale distance is consid-erably shortelled ill the model in orderto confine it to reasona~ble dimensions.

eldest son and underwent the ampu-tation of one leg, but continued hiswork at the University of Breslau.There is Chevreul, the French chem-ist, who on his one hundredth birth.day received honorary degrees fromuniversities of all the world. He livedto be one hundred and three. Per-haps the most interesting biographyis that of Count Rumford, born inWoburn, Mass. in 1753. He began hiscareer as a teacher in the town ofRumford, now Concord, New Hamp-shire. but having taken part in thepolitical movements of the time hewas sent to England by General Howveas dispatch-bearer. There he occupiedthe position of under-secretary ofstate in the Colonial office and thenreturned to America to fight for thekin-. Afterwards he served underthe King of Bavaria and was createda count of the Holy Roman Empire.He next formed the Royal Institutionof London and then moved to Pariswhere he married the widow of thecelebrated chemist, Lavoisier. Hesoon separated, however, from thatlady and went to Auteuil where heremained lentil his death in 1814. Notfar from Rumford's picture is that ofLavoisier, who was guillotined duringthe Revolution for adulterating tobac-oco. There is also a copy of a sketchof Lavoisler, done by his wife, in hislaboratory. Mme. Curie is of courseincluded and is the only woman.

The entire collection has provednot only interesting and impressiveto the students as evidenced by thenumber pausing in the halls to look atit, but also to visitors, as ProfessorSmith has received letters from allover the U~nited States -requesting inoformation concerning the Dictures.

Rumford subjecting a volunteer to itseffects, this picture has recently beenhuing in the first floor hall of Building4. During the month of August, a likepicture was stolen from the sameplace, and although it wvas recalledthat a group of young men had beenseen near the picture shortly beforethe theft, the picture was not recov-ered. A duplicate was therefore made,and this is the picture recently hung.It is a cartoon of the experimentwhich wias performed at a meeting ofthe Royal Institution of London. Thecartoon, in addition to being an ex-cellent example of early humorouscaricature is extremely interesting be-cause of its portrayal of the generalattitude toward science in the middle18th century.

Part of Valuable CollectionThe replaced picture is one of a

group of one hundred and fifteenhanging ill the halls of Building Four.The group is a part of the growingchemical historical collection at theInstitute which is made possible fromthe income on a sum of money givento the chemical department by Mrs.F. J. Moore. The late Professor F. J.Moore was always interested in chem-ical history and wrote a history ofchemistry while at the Institute. Thegift was made with the stipulationthat the derived interest be utilized inmaking the study of chemistry as in-teresting as possible to the students.The result is a unique and instructivecollection of portraits of scientistsfrom all over the world.

A Biography of EachAn outline of the lives of the famous

chemists whose photographs are in-cluded has been prepared, the indiv#-idual brief biography appears on eachof the pictures. Professor H. Mon-mouth Smith, in speaking of the col-lection, said, "The complete set ofpictures could not be duplicated with-out great expense and trouble. Sever-al of the pictures where made from oldEuropean prints and are probably theonly ones in America, many of tlemare from plates made from cuts inold journals." Professor Smith alsosaid that the actual value and safetyof the student body.

Besides the photographs hanging inthe first and second floors of BuildingFour, there are also a group of car-tools. and duplicates of medals ofother noted chemists which ProfessorSmith obtained while in France.These may bie seen in the chemicalreading room. The medals are inbronze. They are heavy, yet clearly-

The power station is modelled to ascale of 1(0 to one, as well as thehigh voltage transformers and oilswitches outside the building. Thebuilding is cut open to show the tur-bines and generators inside, and oneturbine is shown actually revolving,its metal case being cut open andreplaced by glass.

The total head of the water is 390feet, and the three generators havea capacity of 20,000 horsepower each.From the station the current isstepped up to a potential of 110,000volts for delivery to New York, andto 66,000 volts for delivery to pointscloser to the station.

The model was constructed inthe Alden Hydraulic Laboratory ofWorcester Polytechnic Institute. Thewater in it is actuated by a pump lo-cated underneath the table, and isreturned to the miniature reservoirat the top of the model after passingthrough the tunnel and station. Themodel is on display at the CentralTrust Company, where illustratedpamphlets describing the entire de-velopment may be obtained.
