ALFRED 5-MANSFIELD 3
BLUMENTHAL PITCHES VARSITY TO VIC- TORY IN FINAL GAME
Mansfield went down to defeat before the Varsity last Friday in one of the greatest pitchers' bat- tles ever seen on Alfred field.
Blumenthal, the Varsity's elong- ated port-side flinger, held the Red and Black ball-tossers to four hits while his accomplices were garn- ering seven from the delivery of Peterson. The Varsity, with a shifted line-up, played their strongest fielding game of the sea- son, and gave Lanky George gilt- edged support after the first in- ning. Only one of their three errors figured in the scoring.
Blumenthal used a tantalizing slow ball which had the Normal sluggers completely baffled and kept them popping futilely to the infield. Only three put-outs were made by the outer gardeners.
Backus played a stellar game in his new position at short, handl- ing five difficult chances perfect- ly and making a double play un- assisted. Hopkins at the hot cor- ner, also accepted five hard ones, but bobbled on a bad bounder.
King played a great game at the first sack. Captain Wells wield- ed the willow wonderfully, punch- ing out three hits and scoring two runs. Buck was robbed of a home-run with three men on, in the fourth by a spectacular catch by VanAuken. The greatest sen- sation of the day was Sardeson's magnificent diving catch in the ninth, of Bellis' drive down the foul line, after a long hard run.
The hit was bobbled for a three- bagger, and "Sod's" great catch checked an incipient batting rally that might have sewed up he game.
Mansfield dented the rubber in the first inning when Nealon singled over second with one down, stole and scored on Miller's drive which got away from Wells.
Peterson singled, and took second on the throw-in. Wilcox drove out a hot liner which Backus speared, and stepping on second doubled up Peterson. In the Var- sity 's half, Wells singled sharply to left, Buck walked, both moved up on a passed ball Nealon threw wild to third to catch Wells and the little captain tallied. Peter- son tightened up and retired the side.
Wells singled again in the third, Buck was hit, and both moved up when Backus laid down a pretty sacrifice. Wells scored when Peterson threw wild to catch Buck at second. The next two men struck out.
The fourth was a heart-breaker.
Hopkins was safe on Collins' error. Thrall was ticketed to first, both men advanced when Peterson messed up Saunders' bunt. With three men on, none out and the heavy end of the bat- ting order coming up, things look- ed bright to the Varsity rooters, but Blumenthal struck out, Wells' bunt went high in the air, and when Buck came up Nealon sent the fielders back to the fence, where Bill's tremendous wallop, ordinarily good for the circuit, fell into VanAuken "s hands.
The Varsity added another in the fifth, and only the sharp field- ing by Mansfield kept the score so low. Backus strolled and was out stealing. King also received a

OPERETTA A SUCCESS
Public Session of Alfriedians and Alleghanians
The combined Public Session of the Alfriedian and Alleghanian Lyceums was given in Firemens Hall, Saturday evening, May 30, when they presented C. King Proc- tor 's Japanese operetta, "Princess Chrysanthemum.''
The operetta for which prep- arations have been going on for some time under the direction of Leland A. Coon and Robert A.
Greene was most successful and was well attended by a large and enthusiastic crowd.
The story of the play is of a Japanese princess who on her coming of age is welcomed at her father's palace by her maidens.
Prince So-True and Prince So-Sli are rivals for her hand. She loves So-True, but the crafty So- Sli seeks the aid of Saucer-Eyes, the Wizard Cat, who carries off the Princess to the cave of Inky Night.
Here, the Princess by means of a magic-ring summons Fairy- Moonbeam who is about to help her when the Princess drops the ring and the Fairy leaves. So- True comes, finds the ring and unwittingly summons the Fairy, who promises to help him. Just then, the Emperor arrives and capturing Saucer-Eyes, takes him in triumph to the Palace.
Saucer-Eyes confesses that So- Sli is implicated. The Princess appears in time to save So-Sli and Saucer-Eyes from execution. The Emperor gives the Princess to Prince So-True and all ends happily.
The musical features of the operetta were most striking and show much work on the part of the participants and the leader, Leland A. Coon. The chorus work was especially good as were the solos.

DRAMATICS CLASS The class in Dramatics under di- rection of Prof. Myrta A. Little of the English Department gave a
<very successful presentation of their work at Kenyon Memorial Hall last Wednesday evening.
The first number on the pro- gram was a reading from Gals- worthy's " J o y . "
Joy's mother is being forced to deceive her uncle and leave home with an adventurer. Joy pleads with her to stay. In her sorrow she is comforted by her lover.
Miss Saunders gave a most natural impersonation of the grief- stricken girl, the mother, proud but willing to sacrifice all for happiness and the confidence and love of the sweetheart.
A scene from Sheridan's Rivals followed, introduced by Miss Mc- Clease. The parts were taken as follows:
Lydia Languish Lucy, the maid Julia Melville Mrs. Malaprop
Eva Greene Lula Hill Nina Palmiter Lucile Stillman Sir Anthony Absolute
Courtney Norton The action was concerned with the attempts of Mrs. Malaprop to force Lydia to marry Sir An- thony's son and Lucy's help to Lydia in corresponding with her lover. Miss Hill as Lucy and Miss Stillman as Mrs. Malaprop, did especially good work.
In a selection from Twelfth Night, Mr. Barnard as the Duke, Mr. Hunting as the Pool and Miss Withey as Viola, gave an artistic presentation of the scene where the Duke discourses with his page Cesario, the disguised Viola, on the power of Love.
Miss Witter gave a very appeal- ing reading of a scene from "The Servant in the House." Mary meets her father, unknown to her and tells him that "If you only wish hard enough, you'll get your wish." Miss Witter made most striking the difference between the simple, trustful girl and the hopeless old man, an outcast, yet realizing his condition.
Mr. Hunting in another scene from the same play, gave Robert and the Servant in their conversa- tion regarding parson's and Rob- ert's misfortunes.
Lady Gregory's "The Travel- ing man," was a mystical Irish play, full of superstition and mys- tery. The mother, Miss Witter, has been befriended by the King of the World. She tells the daughter, Miss Wanzer, about it and tells how she is always ready for him, should he come. She leaves and the traveling man, Mr. Ayars, comes. He plays with the child and tells her of the gar- den of the Golden Mountain. The mother with reproaches, drives him out only to find too late, that he is the King of the World. The mystery and the simple faith of the Irish peasants were well shown.
Miss Witter gives promise of great dramatic ability.
The program closed with a scene from "She Stoops to Con- quer. ''
The caste:
Squire Hardcastle Mr. Fisk Kate Hardcastle Miss Kerr Tony Lumpkin Mr. Greene Constance Neville Miss Prentiss Mrs. Hardcastle Miss Saunders George Hasling Mr. Norton All the parts were well taken, but Mr. Green, as Tony, scored a hit, as did Miss Saunders, when as the indulgent mother, she found her jewels stolen and could not make her son believe they were really gone.
The performance of the evening was most pleasing and shows that a class in dramatics is a distinct value in securing self-possession^
stage presence and real dramatic rendition.
FRESHMAN ELECT At a meeting of the Freshman class held last Tuesday evening, the following officers for 1914-15 were elected:
President Carl Hopkins Vice President Eva Witter Secretary Alice Cranston Treasurer Edwin Thrall

SUMMER SCHOOL Professor Frank G. Bates, Ph. D.,
History and Political Science The department of History and Political Science in the Summer School at Alfred University will be in charge of Professor Frank G. Bates of the University of Indiana. As Professor Bates was connected with Alfred Uni- versity for some years, he is al- ready known to many in this vicinity. He is a man of wide training and experience, and un- der his guidance the students in this department of our summer school are assured a profitable time.
Prof. Bates is a Rhode Islander by birth. He took the A. B. de- gree at Cornell in 1891. He then studied law for a year, after which he took three years of graduate stiuly at Cornell in History, Poli- tical Science and Economics.
While there he held successfully an assistantship and a fellowship in American History. His final graduate work was done at Colum- bia where he also held a fellow- ship and where later he took the Ph. D. degree. In 1897 he came to Alfred where he remained ten years as Charles Potter Professor of History and Political Science, except for two years spent in Rhode Island as state librarian. In 1907, he left Alfred to take an appointment as assistant professor of History and Political Science in the University of Kansas. In the academic year 1910-11, he was supply in Political Science at Brown University. In 1912, he accepted his present position as associate professor in charge of Municipal Government and Public Administration in the University of Indiana. He is also Municipal Counsel to the Indiana Bureau of Legislative Information at Indian- apolis and a frequent contributor to the Municipal and Political Sci- ence reviews.
Prof. Bates is well qualified to handle the summer courses in His- tory, Politics and Economics, as
•well as the teaching problems that arise in connection with those sub- jects. His will surely be a strong and attractive department of the summer work. The Summer School authorities congratulate themselves on being able to pre- sent Professor Bates on their initial summer program.

'' Temperance,'' a question much advocated now in all states, was the subject of last Sunday night's discussion. The leader, Miss Cheesman, cited many in- stances showing the effect, of in- temperance upon public and do- mestic life. During the open dis- cussion the point was made that even though the dry territory of the United States was increasing, the consumption of alcoholic drinks also increased. This is probably due to the large number of foreigners who settle in the manufacturing cities. Is any benefit received from signing a pledge? What can I do to help terate living?

It is the sincere desire of the Board of Editors that all the sub- scriptions to the Fiat Lux be paid this week, that we may discharge our obligations to the Sun Pub- lishing Co. They have given us a square deal this year and it's up to the college body to show their appreciation. This is your debt- do your part to pay it.

We went to the Decoration day exercises Sunday and received our usual thrill of patriotism. We should have enjoyed it more had we seen a few Alfred University students present. Let us hope that the reason for their absence can be entirely attributed to the proximity of exams. Surely noth- ing else could have kept us away so noticeably.
But we have a conviction that a few hours, spent in the loyal ob- servance of such patriotic rites as were held Sunday afternoon, would benefit us more than the same length of time occupied in nosing over a book. Next year we shall publish a special issue of the Fiat to urge our young Ameri- cans at Alfred to turn out on Dec oration day and let themselves and the world know that there is, lying dormant now, an appreci- ation of our nation's struggles in the past and its present struggle
OUR COLLEGE YEAR The seventy-eighth year of Al fred University is notable in a number of respects. First of all, may be mentioned the fact that this is the first year in which a weekly paper has been published.
The Fiat Lux is completing its first year with a weekly issue and has given a news service to the students and alumni of Alfred University never before rendered.
The year has been notable also in that it has had the largest registration of college students in the history of Alfred. It has al- so had the largest freshman class in our history.
The year has also been memor- able as giving the first use of the Carnegie Library. This splendid building and equipment have been thoroughly enjoyed by the faculty and students of the University as well as by the people of the vil- lage and has greatly added to the equipment of the University.
Also this year has been opened the new wing of the State School of Clay-Working and Ceramics, which with its new equipment, lias placed the School of Ceramic

the foremost school of its kind in the world in the completeness and thoroughness of its equipment and the courses of study offered.
The year is exceptional also in a financial way. A larger amount of endowment has been received during the year than in any pre- vious year for twenty years, ag- gregating in all, some twenty thousand dollars.
Another achievement for the year which is most gratifying to the trustees is the fact that the University has run within its in- come with a larger balance than in any previous year of its history.
In the Alumni Association a new branch has been organized falo and vicinity, making the which included the alumni of Buf- third branch alumni now organiz- ed and maintained.
In view of these achievements, it is not too much to say that the seventy-eighth year of Alfred University has been the most not- able and successful year in its history.

Mansfield tallied in the sixth.
Nealon was passed, pilfered sec- ond, and after Miller popped to Wells, crossed the plate on Peter- son's bingle to right.
The Varsity put the game on ice in the seventh. With one down King was safe on Collins' error, Ross juggled and Howe was safe.
Hopkins' grounder forced King at third, but Howe and Hopkins scored a moment later when Thrall poled out a ringing two- sacker to right. This ended the scoring for the Varsity.
Mansfield scored their last run in the eighth when Miller walked, stole second, and counted on Peterson's two-bagger to the creek.
Buck was injured in the ninth, and Sardeson was substituted just in time to make his great catch, the most sensational of the season, which probably saved the game for the Varsity. The tabu- lated score:

THE VALUE OF AN EDUCATION
Our school will soon complete its sixth year as a secondary school of agriculture. Its suc- cessful fulfilment of the purpose, for which it was established, has been proved without doubt. The necessity of a school of its kind has been demonstrated by the ever increasing registration of stu- dents. There are innumerable benefits resulting from an educa- tion at N. Y. S. A., which are plainly visible to all its students.
The boundary of their view point has been extended, however, for statistics have been gathered, of late, considering these benefits
from a financial standpoint.
A careful canvass of the men who graduated with the 1913 class shows that their average salary or equivalent income is $850 per year. This same canvass gives figures showing their average in- come, before entering N. Y. S. A.
was not more than $500. Read this over and consider it. Do you realize that this is an in- crease of $350 per year as a re- sult of attending school for 18 months? Consider that $350 is the interest at 5 per cent on $7000.
From this view point, we may conclude in a sense that an agri- cultural training has a value of
$7000. Furthermore, figuring on the basis of the approximate num- ber of days expended in obtain- ing this training, the statistics demonstrate that the education acquired by the graduates of the school is worth $16.27 per day for every day spent in school. If we did not know that these figures were derived from a reliable source, we would say they were fictitious, but they are actual facts.. Those who studied Farm Management at N. Y. S. A. will remember that a survey made in N. Y. State showed the average income of farmers in the state to be $350 and just think of it, the average increase in the salary of our graduates as a result of their education amounts to that.
These facts should be a great source of inspiration to the men, who have yet to complete the course here. Don't doubt in the least that it pays. More so, the statistics should awaken any of our graduates, who are not earn- ing the $850 average income, to the possibilities before them.

FRESHMEN WIN INTERCLASS MEET
The class of 1917 won the an- nual interclass field and track meet, held at the athletic field, Thursday afternoon, May 28. The points were, Freshmen 70, Seniors 40, Sophomores 40.
The Seniors made no class en-
tries only five men being out. The Sophomores were crippled by the loss of Barney, who was unable to compete. King, Saunders, Sheppard, Perkins and Bliss did fine work for the Freshmen. R.
M. Howe, and M. H. Pfaff were the only Juniors entered.
A small crowd attended the meet, which was managed by Ivan Fisk.
The principal feature of the meet was the breaking of the 440 record by Fisk. This record was held by L. W. H. Gibbs and had stood since 1901. Fisk showed great form in this his last appear- ance on Alfred field. He was entered in five events, winning- first in four of them. He is prob- ably the best all around track man Alfred has had in the last decade, but several of the Freshmen prom- ise to become good performers.

N. Y. S. A .CHAPEL TALKS Director Wright was the en- tertainer at chapel on last Tues- day. "Parcels Post" carried the interest of the audience.
The director upholds that the farmer is not so responsible for the high cost of living as the mid- dle man. He apparently believes
"Uncle Sam" with his parcels post, should be the only middle man between the farmer and con- sumer in the ease of a great many farm products. But, alas! the farmer does not use parcels post as much as he should. The Di- rector suggests as reasons for this, ignorance on the part of the farmer regarding its use and also, up until recently, an inadequate system of packing. " A weak point in the parcels post system,"
says Director Wright, "is the carelessness with which the pack- ages are handled."
In this collection, he also brought out the fact that there is no recompense for damage sus- tained during transportation by Parcels Post, whereas the express companies pay damages for goods injured while in their custody.
For this reason people are willing to pay a higher rate to express companies because of this protec- tion from loss.
Cards have been distributed by the Post Office Department, giv- ing the rates for Parcels Post to the different zones but they do not explain the determination of these zones.
Director Wright briefly ex- plained the latter as follows:
1st zone within a radius of 50 miles, 2d zone within a radius of 150 miles, (rates same in both of above), 3d zone within a radius of 300 miles, 4th zone within a radius of 600 miles, 5th zone within a radius of 1000 miles, 6th zone within a radius of 1400 miles, 8th zone within a radius of 1800 miles or over.
As regards weight, for any place within 50 miles, 50 pounds is the limit and for any place more distant than this, 20 pounds is the limit.
The speaker also referred to a law in effect January first, by which plants and vegetable seeds may be sent by Parcels Post. Fur- thermore a letter regarding the contents of the package may be

attached without extra charge. In closing his talk, the Director ex- hibited various modern contain- ers for shipjring farm products by Parcels Post. Among these, was a crate made of cardboard and thin boards, adapted for holding 16 quart boxes of cherries, 'which will weigh about 25 pounds when full and cost about 17 cents to send by Parcels Post, at local rates. These model crates cost about ten cents apiece in car load lots. In addition to this, corro- gated pasteboard boxes were shown arranged to contain one dozen, two dozen, or three dozen eggs and also one to ship one dozen apples. The latter, the Di- rector states, is coming into quite extensive use and sells for about one dollar when full.
Director Wright's talk was cer- tainly very instructive and inter- esting and undoubtedly much benefit was derived from it.
AN EXHIBIT
Miss Sabin's exhibit, "The Re- lation of Latin to Practical Life,"
prepared by the classical depart- ment of the Philadelphia High School for Girls, has been gener- ously loaned to the classical de- partment of Alfred University and will be displayed in the Carnegie Library until Commencement.
This exhibit shows in a graphic way the bearing of classical knowledge on modern life and the increase in pleasure and efficiency to be gained by an acquaintance with language, literature, myths, and art of ancient Rome. The divisions of the exhibit illustrate the relation of Latin to modern languages and literature, to art, to the sciences, to the professions, and even to modern business ad- vertising. It answers the oft- heard question, "What is the use of Latin any way?"
All students, especially those of the Academy and the Grammar School, and all townspeople and guests are invited to visit this exhibition. Admission free.
CERAMIC NOTES Commencement week, there will be an exhibition of the pottery and art work done during the year. The exhibition will include
not only the work shown at the house warming, but other not ex- hibited at that time. Come and see the colors in daylight. Bring your friends, too.
On Tuesday night Prof. Binns will leave for Albany where he will confer with Commissioner Carlyle on the proposed State Brick Experiment station at Bl- mira. Mr. Dunn of the Dunn Wire Cut-Lug Brick Co., was here in conference on the same project. Today Mr. Brannock, secretary of the C. W. Raymond Co. conferred with Prof. Binns on the above project.
Miss Meritt 's sun-dial was burn- ed last week and withstood the fire very well.
All work is being rushed to completion for the exhibition that will be held Commencement week.
Under the skillful working of Prof. Remsen of the Ag School, the premises surrounding the School of Ceramics are beginning to look very well. Shrubs and small trees have been planted and when we return in the fall we will see a very different looking lawn from that of today.
ATHENAEAN PICNIC The Athenaeans held a picnic, Thursday afternoon of last week, in Lovers' Lane, in honor of the Freshmen members. This picnic was given as the prize for the best of the eompetitative programs, given in Lyceum this year. Of all the class programs, that of the Freshmen who gave "Women shall conquer men," was judged to be the winner, and so the Frosh were entertained with a picnic.
The delicious picnic supper soon disappeared, after which a few races were enjoyed. Some of the honorary members made startling records. Each class tendered con- gratulations to the Freshmen in the form of yells and all united in thanking the committee for their successful picnic.

ANOTHER INTERSCHOLASTIC A recent clipping from the Brooklyn Times gives an account of the Suffolk County Interscho- lastic Meet in which the South- ampton High School team, coach- ed by Donald E. Wilson, '13, won second place with 34 points. Stan- ley C. Biggs of Southampton, who took 18 points, made a '' clean sweep" in the hammer throw with a distance of 147 feet, 6 inches and in the shot put with 47 feet, 9% inches. He also took first place in the high jump and second in the hurdles. Other points for Southampton were in the hammer throw, the broad jump and the relay in the last of which they took second place.
Mr. Wilson is to be congratu- lated on the showing his team has made.

ASSEMBLY ADDRESS Professor George A. Bole at the Assembly last Wednesday read a most interesting paper entitled,
"Reminiscences of Porto Rico."
Professor Bole is able to speak with excellent authority, having spent two years in Porto Rico as a teacher where he made a first- hand study of the people and their problems, which have lacked our sympathy through the injustice of the superficial reports of tourists.
He chose to present characteristics in which the natives differ from our own people, and incidentally, called attention to some excellent points to be remembered by pros- pective West India teachers.
