Vocation Bureau Outlines Purpose of Work And Offers Assist-
ance
The Vocational Bureau of the Twentieth Century Club was founded for the purpose of widen- ing out the world of opportunity for college-trained men and wo- men. Its aim is to conduct an educational campaign to acquaint students with the beckoning fields of endeavor for fertile brains and disciplined powers, that lie without and beyond the college years. Alfred enjoys an enviable reputation as a producer of teachers who make good. It has peppered the map of New York state with pedagogs, who are making a name for themselves- as teachers of power and resource.
Some are, however, making but mediocre successes, who might better be in other work. There are always bound to be occupa- tional misfits, but vocational ex- perts believe that this waste of human effort can be reduced to a minimum by intelligent direc- tion. There are many college students who do not grow en- thusiastic over the prospect of teaching, who believe, however, that it is not worth the candle to attempt anything else, or who do not know of anything else by which they can immediately gain an insured income. Some Alfred students, doubtless, cherish def- inite vocational hopes which they are lovingly putting away in old rose leaves, as incapable of reali- zation.
The Bureau has outlined and posted on the college bulletin boad nine courses for vocations other than teaching. These sug- gested courses, to which we urge your attention, are based upon the required work given in the col-

Raymond Maure 16, and Abbie Burdick '16, Quietly Married
Saturday Evening
Another evidence of Alfred's traditional influences was shown last Saturday evening in the mar- riage of Miss Abbie Burdick '16, to Raymond Maure '16, at the former's home in Alfred.
The wedding was very quiet, only a few people beside the families being present. The town and college were totally unaware of the event until after the happy ouple had departed on the late train.
The bride was accompanied by her sister Marguerite, and the groom by his brother Warren, Dean Main of the Seminary per- forming the ceremony.
After Monday, Mr. and Mrs.
Maure will be at home at Fulton, N. Y., where he is teaching.
The whole school joins in send- ing hearty congratulations to '' Ray'' and his bride.
FIRST ASSEMBLY GREAT SUCCESS
Fifty Couples Attend Hallowe'en Affair
The first college assembly, given last Saturday evening, was a great success. About fifty couples gathered on the floor for iiie Grand March, headed by Prof, and Mrs. Wingate and Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Bassett, the patrons and patronesses of the evening.
Most excellent music was fur- nished by Story's Orchestra of Wellsville, and the interest of the occasion was greatly increased by a luck elimination dance given just before the intermission.
The tasty decorations about the hall and on the programs lent much to the pleasantness of the first dance of the school year.
SPECIAL TRAIN TO BONA- VENTURE GAME Leaves Station at 1:30 The special train, which will run to Wellsville for the con- venience of those who wish to at- tend the St. Bonaventure game next Friday afternoon, will leave the station at 1:30. The team will go over on this train and all will be met at the Wellsville sta- tion by the Temple Band and march to the field in procession.
The train will make a return trip at a time convenient to all parties concerned .
The round trip fare will be seventy-eight cents and the man- agement urges that all who are go- ing, plan to use this means of con- veyance and furthermore that they sign up immediately.
HEY SKINNEY, COME ON OVER! SEE THE "WILD
INDIANS!"
Gathering at Cheer Meet, Thurs- day Evening at 7
How did Alfred defeat Thiel?
By sheer grit and fight. What gave her that fight? It was the fact that the whole school was behind the team. It was the mass meeting, the band, the procession, the hearty cheers.
It is hoped that St. Bonaventure will not have as good a team as Thiel, but if she has, the same support must be given the Alfred men. The same process must be followed, and the same kind of a mass meeting will occur Thurs- day evening at 7 o'clock.
Did you ever hear a person
"yell like a wild Indian?" Each man must hunt up a "wild In- dian" before Thursday evening, bring him over to Ag Hall with him and Ayars will put the aborigines so gathered through a course of civilized yelling. Then each man is going to take his civi-

SCRUBS DEFEAT HORNELL HIGH SCHOOL
Bangert and Daly Star—Scrub Capt. Keeps Goose Egg Un-
cracked
The Varsity Reserves showed great improvement in their sec- ond game of the season, defeating Hornell High School by a score of 12 to 0 on the Alfred field, last Tuesday afternoon.
The awkwardness and the lack of organization so noticeable in the Bolivar game seemed to have worn off to quite an extent. While on several occasions the most un- pardonable mistakes were made, the Scrubs surely played a hard game.
Alfred scored first at the last part of the first session when Krone passed 10 yards to Hagar, who was then behind the goal line. Mc- Connel failed to kick the goal.
Again Alfred planted the ball where it counted, in the third quarter. Hornell had been forc- ed to kick and the effort was feeble, the ball going out of bounds on her 30 yard line. For six successive times Bangert, at full back, was given the ball and shoved through Day's tackle and he ate the 30 yards up, 5 at a bite Again McConnel failed to kick the goal.
Hornell played a hard, and fast game and showed fine form, a great part of which, no doubt, is due to the training given them by their principal, C. E. Green, A. U.
'13. They were out weighed, however, and gave Alfred sev- eral opportunities for gain, such as when Finessy blocked his own team's punt.
Alfred was continually fined for being offside, in her eager- ness to be into the fray, while Hornell offended often in the same way and continually lined up offside, the officials were blind and dumb as well, for the specta-

ALLEGHANIAN LYCEUM PUT UP IN PRESERVATIVE
Officers Elected
Fifteen members of the inactive Alleghanian Lyceum met in the office of Prof. P. E. Titsworth last "Wednesday evening, de- termined to bury or pickle the or- ganization.
The Lyceum is an incorporated body and as such needed a legal termination. The gathered men, however, instead of interment preferred to give the society a form of suspended animation, re- vise the constitution so as to allow for yearly meetings and yearly terms of office and thus await the developments of time.
All those present paid their dues and officially declared the offices of the Lyceums vacant. An
"lection resulted in the following roll:
President—Prof. P. E. Titsworth Vice Pres.—F. A. Crumb
Critic—Prof. W. A. Titsworth Rec. Sec.—Edward E. Saunders '17 Cor. Sec.—Harold B. Saunders '17 Treasurer—Ernest H. Perkins '17 First Marshal—Winfield F. Ran- dolph '18

KANAKADEA ART EDITOR BACK
Lucile Robinson Returns Late She's back, bless her, the art editor of the Kanakadea. And from now on the the india ink bot- tle sleeps no more. No, she can't do all the art work; others will help of course, but she stands at the tiller; she says where to.
And the "where t o , " that's what makes things interesting.
Art work isn't just art work, good, bad, or a little better.
There's the "where to," the main idea, the purpose. It isn't a series of interesting pictures; its the expression of. an idea, perhaps only one idea. That's up to the art editor, and the art editors, and the ink bottle.

Alfred, N. Y.} October 24, 1916 COLLEGE CALENDAR PLAN In order to eliminate misunder- standings and conflicts in the arrangement of the meetings of University organizations, a calen- dar has for several years been kept at the college office where meetings of all sorts involving any great number of University stu- dents could be registered as to time and place. This excellent scheme has not been as successful as it should have been and to in*
crease its effectiveness the Stu- dent Senate has assumed its super- vision.
The plan will be the same as before, only the Senate advises that all meetings of any classes or organizations be recorded at the college office. The calendar thu;
formulated will be published weekly in the Fiat Lux. The re- cording should be done at the earliest possible time, for any issue of the Fiat will not be able to publish dates for that week, registered later than Monday noon. Organizations meeting regularly should so register. It is hoped that all departments of the school will heartily co-operate in this plan.
A PROTEST
There seemed to be three offi- cials on the field all the time while the poor reserves were bat- tling valiantly against Hornell
Contrary to all custom and accept- d practice the head linesman was m and out among the line of scrim- nage usurping the other officials' duties. The line work was for- gotten and he seemed to do his Dest to hinder Alfred. It may be 'making a man" of the scrub to fine him on every turn, but if the game is to be a farce why not call it a farce? Why charge admis- sion for such an exhibition? If :he event was scheduled to train the second team for a Varsity game, doesn't it seem reasonable hat the contest should be con- ducted along lines similar to those of such a game? Scarce is the satisfaction for the scrubs, when hey receive no student cheering, when they are not given a fair hance in their games and when they are made the butt of all kinds of jokes. A protest against such practice is here registered, for a man that is once treated un- airly by an organization never
pails to look for and see further injustices in all his connections therewith.
A STUDENT FORUM A Student Forum! The idea comes from a group of Senior sci- entific men. A monthly meeting where members can lead discus- sions on subjects with which they are acquainted and in which they are vitally interested.
The plan is excellent and its execution possible. The move- ment comes not from the fickle fancy of a Freshman, but from the sober sense of several Seniors, who have realized the disadvant- age they are under in attempts at public expression. The benefits of such an organization, into which faculty members will be invited, are inestimable and the range of subjects covered by the varied aptitudes of the men in- terested is quite amazing.
The decline of the literary ly- ceums has often been attributed to the trend of the college man toward scientific study. If such Se true the conditions are very favorable for the inauguration of this new society into a field which is now barren in Alfred.
It has been said: —
"An apple a day will keetp the doctor away,"
But it is now added that
"An onion a day will keep everybody away."
THE COLLEGE OF TOMORROW Pres. Hopkins of Dartmouth Predicts: Less Culture; Liberty
Under Law Rather Than License
In the inauguration address of the new president of Dartmouth College one gets a clear indica- tion of the effect of the war abroad upon the educators of the United States. They, like men of other callings, realize that an era has closed and a new one has opened, and that colleges and uni- ersities, like states, trade guilds, md chambers of commerce, must be prepared to adjust themselves to new standards, to new social de- mands and duties, and to a more disciplined existence.
Indeed, if there is one note more than another that characterizes President Hopkins' sure-footed, sensible, yet bracing address as he takes the helm, it is that which calls for action, but action under orders, and in behalf of the many and of the state. Other recently inaugurated presidents, Dr. Meik- lejohn of Amherst, for instance, also have defined the place of the American college as still cultural, and never again competitive with a university or a technical school in utilitarian education. Nor have new leaders been lacking who have insisted that, from the ped- i.gogical, and also from the moral standpoint, there must be reduc- tion in the curriculum, choice of fewer subjects, and more thorough study of such as are taught.
It has remained for Dart- mouth's young president to de- clare opposition to a theory of stu- dent residence and life, often sanctioned by parents and by alumni, that emphasizes rights and not duties, student comfort and not student toil, and that minimizes the necessity of strict terms of admission and retention.
So far as this policy has a theory it is individualistic and laissez faire; and for it Dartmouth will have no use, whether taught or practiced. If to meet a world de- mand for strong men equal to the new needs, the college must ad- just its methods' and ideals, it intends to do it, not by going on toward license, but by retreating toward liberty under law. It in- tends to have students who work
and who obey. Just as scholars the world over must cease being aarpingly critical and become con- structively serviceable, so the stu- lent world, and especially the American, must adjust itself to new standards of obedience and to new conformities. The days of lax evasion of obligations are over, for faculty and for pupils.
Dartmouth is quite a likely place for such a deliverance to be made. Its traditions are those of rigor, obedience to duty, and plain living and high thinking, and it has had very little respect for the superficial aspects of life. Yet even Dartmouth, under the recent
•lianges and rapid growth of th.e college, must have become some- what conventional and dilettante, else President Hopkins would not have spoken as he did.
RECIPROCITY OF WANTS Fiat to Run Trade Agency-
Notice Who Does Not Adver- tise
The students' wants are varied and numerous and when anyone has anything to sell, he sticks out an old shingle to attract some of the "lucre" his way. However, it is a poor game that will not work both ways, and a short sighted merchant who will not spend a cent to earn a dollar.
The students want a paper, the merchants want trade; what is the logical outcome of such a circumstance.
For helping the paper, the Fiat is going to run a trade agency.
You will be told where to trade and your common sense will tell you where not to trade. Did you ever look to see who didn't ad- vertse with the Fiat?

ASSEMBLY
Miss Binns—Subject "Paradise Regained"
One of the most interesting of Assembly addresses was given to he student body, Wednesday.
Oct. 18, by Miss Elsie Binns. Miss Binns chose as her subject "Para- lise Regained" in which she took ler hearers to a "Christmas in southern Virginia." She pictured the real mountaineers, their rough,
fwo-roomed cabins, papered with newspapers, lighted by small, in- sufficient windows and heated by ruge open fire places. At Norah, West Virginia, . the Episcopal
;hurch has a mission, which with one night a week for choir prac- ice and one for games, furnishes the social life of the settlement.
This place Miss Binns visited dur- ng the Christmas of 1915 and lelped unpack the boxes of pres- ents which came from the people
>f Alfred and elsewhere and which made up the first real hristmas tree many of the old mountaineers had ever seen. Nine miles from Norah, in a mining
?amp, another mission is in charge of a deaconess. Here Christmas was celebrated and on a later day the celebration was carried up into the mountains to Sandy Ridge, where one hundred, men, women and children gathered to share the festivities of a real Christmas.
It was these people of real sym- pathy, real interest and real tact, living a life stripped of the arti- ficial and the conventional, that experienced a "Paradise Regain- ed."

BONAVENTURE GAME, MOST SEVERE OF SEASON Coach Making Team As Fit As
Machinery-
Were the Fiat able to get Coach Sweetland to talk for publication, in reference to the St. Bonaven- ture game scheduled Friday at Wellsville, his opinion would probably be summed up in the short expression, "Alfred's most severe test of the season." One conspicuous feature in the prep- aration for the Bona contest is the determination not to under- estimate the Varsity's opponent's strength. At the same time it has been difficult to form any judgment as to the relative prow- ress of the two teams. It has alone been possible to find out that St. Bona has "come back"
from her relapse last year and that she feels she can take Alfred into camp.
Coach Sweetland returned Sat- urday and begiuning iwith last night inaugurated the most gruel- ling practice the Varsity has had this year. While he does not feel that the relaxation last week during his absence, when light work outs and new plays char-
acterized the practices, was other than beneficial, he knows that not to give them unusually severe work the remaining time would be disastrous. It is probably true that this severe work will send the eleven warriors into the game in the best condition they have been this year, and St. Bona will feel the strength of an Al- fred team aroused as they have never before known.

GLEE CLUB STARTS WORK Methods of Coming "House
Cleaning" Explained Did you hear the melody thai came from Kenyon Memorial Hall last Thursday afternoon, Well that is a very poor sample of what is coming later. It was the first regular practice of the Glee Club, the first attempt at any real work.
Thirty men joined in the essay and these are the flower of the fifty-nine who came to Director Wingate for a try out.
Two clubs will be selected soon and drilled on the same material so that a substitute will always be ready for any disabled first club singer, and so that the new men can be gaining experience for their work next year.
To avoid any misunderstanding and any "soreness" when Direc- tor Wingate begins to clean house, he wishes the following to be gen- erally known: A good singer will not necessarily be the man, the Club wants; while a man must be able to carry a tune and hold his pitch, the ensemble work of the Club will cover up any minor mis- takes. But the man who comes late to practice, the man who as- sumes the "attitude of indiffer- ence" during rehearsal, the man who lacks poise and the man who through vulgar or thoughtless habits would carry a poor impres- sion of Alfred, to those with whom the trip will bring him in contact, will be the man absorbed by the vacuum cleaner.
Faults that will be hidden in the crowd will be pardoned but those that cannot thus be clothed and those that will crop out in the personal acquaintance of these Al- fred representatives with the good families who will entertain them on their trips, will be markers for judgment. Remember—the Club man is working for Alfred every minute he is on a trip—the best all around worker wins.
evening's entertainment given the Freshmen women by the women of 1919 last Thursday evening.
About sixty were gathered t participate in an "indoor tracl meet." After the exhausted ath letes were sufficiently recovered from their exertion to enjoy such all were taken into the old Alfrie- dian room, under the light of wax dips they were served to refresh- ments.
The Misses Binns, Fosdick, Por- er, Weed and Mrs. Middaugh acted as judges of the contest.

THE ALLEN STEINHEIM MUSEUM In description of which this column is run
THE STEINHEIM
Instructions for Visiting, Methods of Cataloging
Visitors are welcome. Ring the bell at the front door, and we will open it for you. Please leave your name in the book for registration of guests; and refrain from leav- ing it elsewhere about the build- ing. The Laboratory is not open to visitors, but class room visitors are welcome provided they come and go at regular intermission periods.
Smoking is prohibited within ) the Steinheim. Don't bring your dog; he can't come in, and if left outside, damages the door. Make your children be quiet, for they disturb classes. Don't handle the specimens.
The front entrance is on the 'south-west corner of the Stein-
heim. The walk is on the south side. The large Gothic window faces due west. The Laboratory is built on the eastern end of the
»
Museum. All on the first floor is designated by I.The stairs to the second floor rise from the east side of the main room, at the right of the en- trance to the Laboratory, and the
second floor is designated by II.
The stairs to the third floor pen on the south side of the front rotunda and the third floor is designated III.
The south rotunda I is given over to a Departmental Library.
The north rotunda I is the Mu-
•;enm Library, and office.
Since our collections are in- creasing constantly we have to change their order very often. The numbers given do not change, however, and where a visitor is in doubt as to the correctness of a specimen or label, it will be found that they bear the same number.
The line following the name and number will designate the place where the specimen will be found in the building.
There are two divisions of the work in the museum, each under a separate head and with a cat- ilog of its own. First—Archae- ology, or the study of the Works and Achievements of Mankind.
Second—Natural, Science, or the works of Nature. There are duplicate numbers of course, but the fields are so different that they can not be confused.

Harold Clausen '17, Pres.
Hazel Parker '17, Vice Pres.

In addition to the regular play given during the year the Club in- tends to stage a play for the bene- fit of the Fiat Lux.

The Club also started a fund for the equipment of a stage for the proposed Davis Gymnasium, by giving the sum of fifty dollars to the Board of Trustees on Com- mencement Day.

Daly with a long. run from an intercepted pass and many fine tackles to his credit, ranked with Hagar and McConnell in making the best showings. Krone saved the day by overhauling Clancy, who had run 60 yards with an in-
tercepted pass, on the one-half yard line. Alfred held one play and on the next recovered a fum- ble, gaining the right to the ball on the 25 yard line.

Clarke, Norwood and P. B.
Titsworth, would be glad to offer farther suggestions, and to talk over with any student their vo- cational problems. Give the Bureau a trial. It has proved it- self of value heretofore, perhaps it can help you. At least, de- termine your occupation for your- self, do not let circumstances or
i torpid liver do it for you.
Equally does the Bureau stand
"eady to help those who know -hey want to teach. For seniors, the open season for job-hunting starts about February 1. To each succeeding class it is a new and exciting experience. It is well to gain the counsel of some one who has been through the mill before beginning a campaign. Every year the Bureau counsels with em- )ryo teachers and in many cases it has been able to locate candidates directly without the intervention of teachers' agencies, thus having saved to each senior class hun- dreds of dollars of agency fees.
The Bureau's services, made pos- sible by contributions of the 3rounger alumni, is free. If you want to know more about this whole proposition, you have a tongue in your head. Use it!
