MUCH COLLEGE SPIRIT MARKS THE BEGINNING OF SECOND
TERM
Few Late Registrations
MANY NEW STUDENTS
A glance at the registrar's records shows that there are four new regis- trants for the second lap of the col- lege year. They are: Frances L. Bur- dick of Westerly, R. L, David*H. Paley of Spring Valley, N. Y., Theron L. Gor- ton of Honeoye, Pa., Frobisher T.
Lyttle of Alfred, N. Y. There are ten students who are not expected to return thereby making a total loss of six from the registration of last term.
One of the ten who are not returning, Clara Lewis, is caring for a sick rela- tive, several others for reasons un-' known, making a comparatively small number of "bust-outs:" Clara Saun-i ders, last term registered in college, i has left to take up work in the Rural!
teachers' Training Course in Ag School. One or two students have changed from College to Ceramics courses, but the interchange is such that it has not affected the total regis- tration in either course.
In general, the classes are starting off pretty much the same as they were running during the latter part of last term. The class registrations have been prompter than ever before and there have been fewer late regis- trations than usual. This may be partly due to the fact that beginning with this term cuts are counted from the first day whether the student is registered or not. It may be due to the fact that some students have made New Year's resolutions to be on time.
Whatever the cause, it is encourag- ing.
In the middle term of the year stu- dents should exert themselves es- pecially to keep their work up to the standard. In the first term there is necessarily some delay and some little confusion in "getting off," and the work of the first term is, in some cases, mostly introductory to that of the second. In the third term, when the spring comes round again, when the-leaves appear and the birds begin to sing, youthful minds somehow do \

not attach themselves so closely to
the mysteries of science, the puzzles of math or principles of logic, but stray away to some secluded spot to marvel at the wonders of nature. This state of affairs, of course, is not con- ducive to sound scholarship, but so far no means has been found to pre- vent it. All students who are thus affected, which includes about 99 per cent, should make the most of an op- portunity to do as good work as pos- sible this term. This is the term, when college spirit normally runs high.
All are fairly well acquainted with each other by this time and if every fellow and every girl contributes his or her bit of "pep," hard work and loyalty to the college, a record can be made which all may well be proud and a standard set, which those who follow will find difficult to attain.
The new board track, which is toi be started this term, should receive | student interest and its building should receive student support. Men who have ability should be ready to!
co-operate in building up an efficient!
track team and the only way to de-j termine the presence of that ability is to get out and practice.
Varsity basketball will claim its share of interest and class contests will furnish entertainment for the student body. It is rumored that
"Jimmie" DeSalvo is whipping into shape a group of minstrels to be ready;
to furnish hilarity in a couple of weeks.
With this large number of events ahead, together with classroom work, there can be no opportunity for loaf- ing. Since Alfred has been establish- ed as a first class college, let's "put our shoulders to the wheel" and bring back victories, not only in athletics, but also in scholarstic standing which will make others recognize Alfred's equality or superiority with the col- leges with which it is now classed.
BALL SEASON BY CLASH
New Team are Included in Next Year's Schedule
ONLY TWO DATES REMAIN OPEN
STUDENT SENATE NOTES
The twelfth regular meeting was called- by the President on Dec. 20, 1921. Several names were reported for having broken the Honor System in the final exams. A special meet- ing was called for Jan. 3, 1922.
TRACK CLUB MEETING
Shortly before vacation a meeting of the track club was held in Kenyon Meniorial Hall at which some two hundred and fifty students were pres- ent. The object of the meeting was to elect officers and arouse enthusi- asm over a track team. Robert Camp- bell was elected chairman and Henry Stryker secretary and treasurer of the track club. Doctor Ferguson as- sured the members that it would not be long before an out-door wooden track should be built near the acad- emy as the necessary funds had been appropriated for its construction. At the close of the meeting a list of all those present was taken and also the events in which each one will enter.
PRE-ASSEMBLY DANCE
On the night of January 3d, one could find most of the Alfred students enjoying themselves at the Pre-as- sembly dance in Academy Hall.
Volk's orchestra furnished the music and no one seemed to be so fatigued after vacation that he could not dance.
At 12 o'clock the opening party of the term broke up and the students re- ported a most enjoyable dance. The next assembly dance is already being looked forward to with much ex- pectation.
Director Champlm is to speak at the meeting of the University Fac- ulty to be held on Tuesday evening.
His subject will be "The Contents of the Course of Study in the School of Agriculture."
Pres. Davis left Sunday for Chicago where he will attend the meetings of the church boards of education and al- so the conference of the Association of American Colleges.
On last Wednesday morning Miss Fosdick delivered before the assembly a most interesting and appreciative talk on the problems of art today. | Miss Fosdick began her address by saying that "Every artist who cares and thinks beyond the transference of his will to canvas or textile or clay, or any medium, would like his life time j to be included in one of the finer epochs of art and to feel that what he is living and giving is of more than temporary concern."
Folowing a brief resume of the glorious achievements of Greek, Ital- ian and other art of earlier days, the speaker gave three very significant!
reasons why we can not expect, except' as a gradual process of evolution, a national spirit in our American art.!
In the first place, because of the com-|
plexity of modern existence we arej not united unless it be in some funda-!
mental and imminent cause; secondly, | we have too much in art that is me- chanically produced and the ease with which such work is turned out adds to its hold on the popular mind; and in the third place, we are not isolated.
However, Miss Fosdick told us that there is much in American art that would lead us to believe that in time it may rival, or at least equal, the best that has been done in the older European countries. Most apt illus- trations were cited from the wonder-' ful achievements of American archi- tecture and it was pointed out that the success in this field of art has been:
due in a great degree to "reasoned!
bases" rather than to "individual cap-' rice." There is the architecture which
:does not bring out the noblest efforts | of creative genius such as structures built in direct imitation of the classic models, and there is an architecture which has required unlimited origin- ality, a concrete illustration of which is to be found in the Woolworth Build-1 ing in New York City. The ingenuity ] and resourcefulness of the architect was here severely taxed. It was only by means of "continuous traceries"
that it was possible in such a building to relieve the optical distress which would have resulted had this ingenious means not been employed.
It was Miss Fosdick's opinion that' there may be expected a national spirit spirit in all our art when we go about the tasks which confront us in our American art with attention to sanity ingenuity and consistency. When the lives of our artistes are governed by these characteristics and we have added to this a spiritual vision, then there will be in our art a truly na- tional spirit.
These are some of the thoughts which Miss Fosdick emphasized in her assembly address. All of those present enjoyed the discussion great-i
Graduate manager Champlin, who has been working faithfully on the 1922 football schedule, anounces that he has nearly completed the task, hav- ing only two open dates on the next year's calendar, and that the new schedule includes several new colleges, and is probably one of the strongest programs in Alfred's athletic history.
The new teams listed are Bucknell, Rochester School of Optometry and St.
Bonaventure.
The greatest achievement is the ad- dition of Buchnell, a college that plays the strongest teams in the east and a victory over her will mean a great deal to the future of Alfred's athletics.
St. Bonaventure is an old Alfred enemy, but due to various reasons has not appeared on the Alfred schedule for the past several seasons. St.
Bonaventure had a strong team this season. She played many of the strongest teams of the east, and won
considerable publicity by tying Col- gate in the first game of the season.
Allegheny college, whom Alfred tied early this season will have a fast, heavy team, one of the strongest of the class B Pennsylvania colleges.
Although as was stated the 1922 schedule lacks two games to make it complete, it is certain that Alfred is forcing herself into football prom- inence and that next year's program will include some of the better col- leges of both New York and Pennsyl- vania.
As yet it is impossible to give the exact dates but contracts have been definitely arranged as follows:
Bucknell—abroad Buffalo—abroad
St. Bonaventure—at home Allegheny—abroad Hamilton—abroad Niagara—at home
Rochester S. O.—at home.
PURPLE AND GOLD TO INVADE PENNSYLVANIA
Five Hard Games
TEAM LEAVES TODAY
Dean Titsworth and Director Champ- lin were in Wellsville Sunday attend- ing the county meeting of the Y. M.
C. A.
With four days practice since Christmas recess the Varsity basket-1 ball team leave tonight for a five dayi trip into Pennsylvania, where the' Purple will clash with St. Bonaven- ture, Westminister, Geneva, Thiel and!
Allegheny Colleges.
Coach Wesbecher has been putting the team through strenuous practice periods, since the return from vaca- tion, in preparation for the hardest trip of the season.
The Purple will encounter no soft teams on the southern trip. Eachj team which the varsity will line upj against is a fast and smooth working!
aggregation, and to return with a string of victories to its credit means that Alfred must play basketball.
St. Bonaventure, the first team to]
be encountered has the fastest team in years, while Allegheny,already has a string of victories to her credit.
Westminister and Geneva are also ex- pected to display a superior brand of basketball, while Thiel the ancient and archenemy of the Purple and Gold will enter the' fray with the idea of
annexing the Alfred scalp to her string string of victories.
In the final game of the trip at Meadville it is expected that the Al- fred quint will encounter the bitterest opponent. The Alleghenians are still smarting under the sting of a tie game in last season's football schedule which Allegheny had counted as an easy victory.
It is not certain as yet how the team will line up for the first game as this year's team will consist al- most entirely of new men. Stanley Banks the star forward of two years ago is back in uniform, but it is not known as yet whether the injured foot, which kept him out of the game last year for the greater part of the sea- on, and which was recently operated upon, will be sufficiently healed to allow him to play steadily or not.
Witter, Barron, Bond and Lyman are all showing up well in guard positions, while Newton, Campbell, Hincliff and Johnson are battling for forward berths. Smith and Cornwall are close rivals for the pivot posi- tion.
RUSSIAN STUDENTS DESPERATE- LY IN NEED OF RELIEF FUNDS
Since Russia has opened her doors to relief the desperate situation of students there has become known.
Every one of them is in need and everybody is doing manual labor. The soviet government allows some stu- dents a ration of one pound of bread and four pounds of meat or fish a month but no student ever gets his full portion. Proven need has been
the only criterion for this student re- lief work which has been administered impartially without regard to race, nationality or creed. Of it Frank A.
Vanderlip, the economist and finan- cier, has said, "No other work is so necessary to rehabilitate civilization;"
and Sect. Herbert Hoover, "No greater
service can be performed than keep-
ing alive the institutions through
which the social recovery of Europe
must come."

The two new courses in Ice Cream and Current Events have proven very j popular. Many of the students taking | advantage of them and have enrolled I The new term sees many of the old • faces back in Alfred. Many of last year's specials are back for the win- ter course. There are a few new j ones back also.
Friday morning, Prof. Wingate used the Assembly period to explain the violin. He gave a short history of | the violin and then played several records on the Victrola made by the two greatest violinists. It is hoped j that Prof. Wingate will continue these talks as he did last year and take up once a week some instrument of music and explain it to the students.
A look into our dairy building now j and one would not know it as the same place. Prof. Camenga has been busy installing a line shaft, new churn (power), ice cream freezer and ice crusher combined, and lastly a new pasteurizer. This will bring our dairy department up to one of the best equipped of any Agricultural School in the State. The new dairy bacteri- ology laboratory is ready this term and a great deal more can be done in the dairy line than formerly.
Thursday Assembly was in charge of the Junior Class. Vernon Goff I save an interesting talk on the West.
He gave the Agricultural methods, told about the scenery, the Forest Re- serves and gave a discription of the old fashioned cowby. It was mention- ed that the articles a cowboy used to wear were worn only for ornamental purposes, but Goff told the use of each i part of the cow boy dress. His talk as a whole was very interesting and it is hoped that in the future we may be able to hear some more about the West.
THETA GAMMA HOUSE PARTY On Thursday night, Dec. 15, Theta Gamma entertained the girls of the Ag School, at their first party held in the new frat house.
Headed by the ladies of the faculty, the girls came with lots of singing and pep. After looking the house I over, they were entertained by some;
musical stunts. Dancing and games!
were enjoyed until ten o'clock when I light refreshments were served in the form of a buffet lunch. Dancing was resumed and at eleven o'clock, the boys sang the Fraternity song," The Black and the Gold," and the girls responded with a yell for Theta Gam- ma, and then departed.
COUNTRY LIFE ELECTS OFFICERS
On Tuesday night, Dec. 13, after a debate on "The Japanese Question"
at Country Life meeting, the election of officers for the next eight weeks was' held. Don Atwater was elected president; Percy Stanford, vice presi- dent; Frances Witter, Secretary;
Gladys Stephens, treasurer.
The question for debate was Re- solved, ' 'That there should be a Na- tional Law prohibiting the Japanese from Owning land in the United States." The affirmative side of the question was upheld by Verda Paul, leader, Gladys Stephens and Grace White. The negative side was upheld by William Newcomb, leader, Ed Harns and Lloyd Reed. The judges were Miss Cheeseman, Prof. Randolph and Weston Moore. After consider- able deliberation, the judges declared Mr. Newcomb's side the winners.
While waiting for the decision, Fran- ces Witter played popular melodies on the piano while the rest sang.
NEW SUBJECTS AT AG SCHOOL
Beginning the second term, two new subjects will be added to the Ag course. They will both be electives.
An ice cream making course will be added consisting of one lecture period and one whole afternoon. This will be in charge of Prof. Camenga. Prof.
Randolph will give a subject called Current Events, which will consist of the study of the everyday events

What Is a Vacuum Furnace?
I
N an ordinary furnace materials burn or combine with the oxygen of the air. Melt zinc, cadmium, or lead in an ordinary furnace and a scum of "dross" appears, an impurity formed by the oxygen. You see it in the lead pots that plumbers use.In a vacuum furnace, on the contrary, the air is pumped out so that the heated object cannot combine with oxygen. Therefore in the vacuum furnace impurities are not formed.
Clearly, the chemical processes that take place in the two types are different, and the difference is important. Copper, for instance, if impure, loses in electrical conductivity. Vacuum-furnace copper is pure.
So the vacuum furnace has opened up a whole new world of chem- ical investigation. The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have been exploring this new world solely to find out the possibilities under a new series of conditions.
Yet there have followed practical results highly important to industry. The absence of oxidation, for instance, has enabled chemists to combine metals to form new alloys heretofore impossible. Indeed, the vacuum furnace has stimulated the study of metallurgical proc- esses and has become indispensable to chemists responsible for production of metals in quantities.
And this is the result of scientific research.
Discover new facts, add to the sum total of human knowledge, and sooner or later, in many unexpected ways practical results will follow.

DEAN TITSWORTH TO GIVE TALK ON O. HENRY
On Tuesday, January 17th, at 5 o'clock in the English room at Kan- akadea Hall Dean Titsworth will give a talk on O. Henry. All students and townspeople are welcome to attend.
Dean Titsworth has spent consider- able time and study in the prepara- tion of his subject and to hear the talk is an opportunity none should miss.
Upon "Scotty" Ahern has depended to a great extent the success of the Varsity football team of this year.
Captain Ahern fulfilled his duties faithfully and well and all agree that it will be difficult for another man to step into his place and do as well as Scotty lias done. Robert Campbell, a close second to Scotty for the posi- tion as captain of this year's squad, is chosen to captain the team of 1922.
Bob has proved his value on the team many times in the three years he has played. A favorite among his fel- lows, an untiring worker for the squad and a man who understands the game, he is acknowledged by all to be the only man for the job. There is no doubt that, with Bob at the helm, the team of 1923 will be an honor to them- selves and to the college.

ATHLETIC COUNCIL
At the final first term meeting of the Athletic Council the only busi- ness of any importance was the elec- tion of a girls' basketball manager.
Catherine Nenweisinger was elected to fill the place.
Y. W. FAIR A GREAT SUCCESS
The annual Y. W. fair held in the Y. W. parlors in the Brick on the 12th, 13th and 14th of December, satisfied the expectations of its promoters in every way. The booths were very attractive and a wide variety of novel articles were offered for sale. Fi- nancially, the affair was a distinct success, and the funds in the Y. W.
treasury are considerably swelled as a result.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE AN OUT OF DOOR SKATING AND
HOCKEY RINK IN ALFRED?
The Alumni Advisory Board on Athletics finds that it has inherited
;i very considerable debt which it is bound to find some way to liquidate, and feels that such a way is at hand.'
In searching for some way to ac- complish this purpose it has found the most practical scheme to be to | obtain a gas lease close to proven.
territory and to sell the gas therefrom.' A lease of this character has already | been obtained and the Advisory Board wishes subscriptions for a drilling fund with the understanding that two- thirds of the net income shall be given j to the Trustees of the University to be used for such purposes as they, may deem proper, and the remaining one-third shall be turned over to the Athletic Advisory Board.
The Advisory Board believes that it can in this way obtain sufficient funds to pay the indebtedness, to create an out of door skating rink and hockey field and to improve t h e athletic field generally.
If gas is obtained in paying quanti- j ties all subscribers will receive their money back if requested.
Give us such assistance as you can reasonably.
The subscription list will be found with Raymond Cottrell at University Bank, and you are invited to help.
JOHN J. MERRILL
DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN
The last mooting of "Der deutsche Verein" was held December 15, at the home of Margaret Emerson. Since the preceeding meeting was devoted entirely to the transaction of busi- ness, all members dispensed with formality and merrymaking became the theme of the evening. German songs, Weinachtslieder, were sung by the assembled crowd until about nine o'clock when Miss Emerson introduced i a glad surprise in the form of re- freshments. Meanwhile, the club tried out several new German games intended to sharpen the wit and im- prove the conversational vocabulary.
Considering the large number of stu- dents registered in the German de- partment, there should be a much' larger number taking part in these so-1
cial affairs. All members of the Ger- man department are especially invited' to attend. Watch the bulletin board.
BRICK PERSONALS
Garland Smith was a guest of the Vossler girls during vacation.
Genevieve Kilbury has been forced to return home because of illness.
Mary Meade and Florence Luhrs have not returned from vacation, be- ing detained at home on account of illness.
Miss Louise Lair entertained a group of friends in the Y. W. room Sunday evening.
MISS BURDICK SPEAKS ON
"CHINA"
At the last Assembly period before vacation, Miss Susan Burdick spoke vividly of "China." As a missionary there during the past thirty-two years, she has had the'opportunity to study the yellow Republic's problems. She closed her talk with the challenge of the mision field, which students must face.
The student body, in a meeting after Assembly, voted to adopt the underclass contests as outlined in the December 6 issue of the Fiat Lux.
Members of the Wee Playhouse Guild met last Saturday night at the home of Mrs. B. S. Bassett. Arrange-', ments were completed for the present-1 ing of the first of the second term plays on February 16th.
The plays slated are as follows:
Alice Gerstenberg's "The Pot Boiler"
Oliphant Down's ' ' T h e Maker of Dreams"
Francois Coppee's "The Pater Nos- ter."
On last Sunday evening President Davis preached in the First Presby- terian Church, Hornell.
Paul V. Johnson of the Eta Phi Gam- ma Fraternity spent the holidays in Boston, Mass., as a guest of Frank W.
Gibson, Jr.
The drama is now becoming an im- portant study in many colleges of the country. At Harvard there is the
"47 Workshop" where the students do all the work necessary for the pro- duction of a play. At the Carnegie Institute of Technology, there is a school of drama with courses leading to the degree of A. B. According to the statistics of the U. S. Bureau of Education, 164 of the leading colleges produced 1,088 plays in the past five years, 281 of these being written by students.

The following is a letter received by President Davis in reply to a Christmas card, which will be of in- terest to alumni:
Dear President Davis and Mrs. Davis:
I am using my Xmas holiday to make my memory ride hastily over the list of good friends of my life time and I am talking briefly with such as saw fit to recall me in their busy lives.
I like to joke with my friends here by mentioning that there are two Al- fred men here in the faculty, Presi- dent Pearson and myself. Doubtless you will recall when Dr. Pearson re- ceived his degree at Alfred. Natural- ly I do not as it might have been ahead of my time though I think it was after my time. Anyhow the catalog shows that his degree was given him at Alfred. And the only one 1 have I got there and it has served me wellj and improves with use.
And dear President Davis I am now trying to induce young men to be more scholarly than. I was and am trying to keep them from yawning in the superiority of youth just as 1 yawned in my own youth and yawned myself out of much that I had to get in a harder way later on. Poetic justice perhaps.
There are ghosts in my brain as I sit thinking. Ghosts of men and women of my happy school days. It is good of you to raise these ghosts each Xmas time with your cards to us. May there be a special happiness in every Christmas time for the men who preside over little colleges and give so much and for the wives who must give even more.
Sincerely,
PAUL E. COX.

DATES FOR FARMERS' WEEK
Annual Gathering at State Agricul- tural College Calls Visitors From
All Parts of New York
Ithaca, N. Y., Dec. 23—Farmers' Week at Cornell has been set for the week of Feb. 13, it was announced at the state college of agriculture here today. The departments are now turning their programs into the cen- tral office where they are organized and rooms and hours assigned.
The work of making the full pro- gram, which is published in a booklet of 32 or more pages, involves a con- siderable amount of labor, as there arefully 300 different lectures, talks and demonstrations to be scheduled.
Among the special conferences is a community newspaper institute on Monday and Tuesday.
The interest in Farmers' Week seems to increase each year. There is scarcely a county in the state which is not represented at the gathering.
Residents of other states and some- times of other countries as well at- tend the sessions.

gan, A Sow to a Plow." The disease jI of cotton that threatened to ruin the !
south, these farmers declare, has been | effectively checked by t h e advent of the weevil, and new conditions brought about which mean future growth and agricultural prosperity.
The marriage of Ainslee Luce ex '22, ] Ag., to Horace Willis, both of River- j head, L. I., is announced. The mar- riage took place at Riverhead, L. I., Dec. 10th. They will reside at the!
same place. Mrs. Willis was Art i Editor of last year's Kanakadea.
C. L. C. A. MEETING
At the first meeting of the year of.
the C. L. C. A., John Humphrey read a paper on "The Religion of Today."
The paper was very interesting and was well read. Next Sunday night the topic will be "Religion." All are requested to have some opinion so that a discussion can be had. More stu- dents are urged to attain these Sun- day night meetings, especially the new students.
Enterprise, Ala., Dec. 23.—The first monument to the boll weevil—the greatest enemy of cotton—has just been erected here.
Coffee county planters expressing
"profound appreciation" for the rav- ages of the cotton enemy, have, erect- ed a beautiful bronze fountain in the heart of the business district here.
It is a monument to the foe that con- quered the county, it is explained, and then pointed the way towards prosper- ity and new hopes.
Growers of cotton who fathered the erection of the monument to the wee- vil, declared that the cotton enemy had been a blessing in disguise in that it had brought about diversification of crops and thereby established a new era in the south.
The inscription on the fountain reads:
"In Profound Appreciation of the Boll Weevil and What It Has Done as the Herald of Prosperity This Monu- ment Is Erected by the Citizens of Enterprise, Coffee County, Alabama."
The one crop south has become as a result of the terible ravages of the weevil, an agricultural country which in the future will become self-support- ing according to the coffee county planters, who have adopted the slo-
