Secrecy Enshrouds The Book—
The "Best Ever?"—Yes and T h e n -
Advance information concern- ing the 1917 edition of the Kan- akadea lies chiefly in the phrase
"just wait." It is known on the authority of Managing Editor Kenyon that it will appear on the twentieth of this month. Any other attempts on the part of Fiat men to dispel the secrecy that en- shrouds the coming publication, meets with the rebuff as explain- ed above.
Asked if it would be the "best ever," the various members of the board approached answered in the affirmative, with the added state- ment that this meaningless ex- pression did not convey the real improvements that have been in-

JUNIOR PLAY DATE—THURS- DAY, MARCH 16th
I
"Lady Windemere's Fan" by Os- car Wilde—A Mos t Note-
worthy Modern Drama The Junior class showed great boldness and bravery in selecting
"Lady Windemere's F a n " for their class play. It is a big play, with a big theme, by a big writer.
It was first produced in London at St. James' Theater, with un- usual success. Its triumph in England was so pronounced, that New York eagerly presented it to the American public who quickly expressed their approval of it. Os- car Wilde, the author of the play, is studied along with Ibsen, Mae- terlink, Shaw, Barrie, and others in all modern drama classes and
"Lady Windemere ?s F a n " is usually conceded to be his master- piece.

GLEE CLUB SURPASSED ALL EXPECTATIONS
Makes Good at First Appearance
—Insures Future Success On Tuesday evening, February twenty-ninth, Alfred University accepted unquestionable evidence that it possesses a splendid Glee Club. It had been known before that Professor Wingate was work- ing with a group of some sixteen men selected from among the stu- dents to achieve that end, and once before Christmas they ap- peared for themselves in a short number at the Fiat Fair. How- ever, it was not until last Thurs- day evening that the real test came.
The Hall was well filled despite the fact that a rival attraction at Hornell diverted, a number of people from the concert. With the raising of the curtain, the club

TRAINING CAMP
1916 Football Team to Have New Adventures
Several new features will be in- troduced into Alfred's Athletic program next fall, being necessi- tated by our recent success in the football arena. The greatest un- dertaking in the new system will be a training camp to give the squad a pre-season start to a vic- torious campaign. Training camps are essential to the success of any team and are supported by all of the larger schools. Our entry in- to a larger athletic arena demands that we give our teams the same advantages other teams have, and the athletic council is working in all possible ways to make the camp a reality. About $850, fourth of which has already been raised, will be needed to assure a camp worth while, where fifteen or twenty men can have two weeks "of training under the direct supervision of the
oach.
An idea of what is expected to be accomplished next year is shown by the change in the sched- ule policy for next year. Alfred has not been content with the smaller colleges alone, but has Mitered into negotiations with such teams as Bucknell, Oberlin, and Carlisle. It is quite prob- able that some agreement will be reached with the first two named, and in that case both will un- doubtedly be played at Alfred.
Should these teams be secured Al-
!red would see in action the best
;eams that have ever been brought o western New York. What ver is done, though, in the mat- ,er of securing big games, the sea- on for 1916 is sure to be a suc-
cess, and the keynote to the whole situation is the training camp, which it is confidently expected will be met by those who are anxi- ous to have Alfred a figure in in- tercollegiate athletics.

FIFTY COUPLES ATTEND UNIVERSITY ASSEMBLY The first University Assembly of the year was held at Firemens Hall last Thursday evening.
March 2. Yes, it was held—no, it wasn't postponed, nothing happened to break up the plans of the committee. Moreover, it was a- most enjoyable affair, and everyone of the fifty-two couples that were present agreed that it made up for the lack of events of that nature during the first semester.
The whole evening was very unique in many particulars.
Hubert Bliss, '17, who was ap:
pointed chairman of the dance committee at a meeting of the college men, recently, had a very efficient corps of committee men under him. Robert Greene, '16, was in charge of the decorations and the shadow paper shades for the lights and wall decora- tions were all his work and re- flected his originality. Ford Barnard, '16, was responsible for the extraordinai'y type of program, and to Laurence Bur- gott, N. Y. S. A., belongs the credit for securing Keating's Orchestra to perform the musical functions of the evening,
The patrons of the assembly were Professor and Mrs. Lang- ford C. Whitford, Mr. and Mrs.
Ramon F. Reynolds and Mr. and Mrs, Fred H W'«.
FIAT BOARD AS DINNER GUESTS
Staff to Seek Relief From Long Grind
After having performed their work faithfully during the year the Fiat staff is falling into the ways of the rest of the college, and accordingly will give itself up to an evening's dissipation. Sat- urday evening the staff is to be the guests of Hubert Bliss '17 and Ford Bornard '16, editor-in-chief, and managing editor, respectively of the Fiat, at dinner and dancing party at the K. K. K. house, '' The Castle." Bach member of the edi- torial and business department will have a friend as his guest so that a royally bunch will respond to the call.
ALUMNI
Charles H. Green, an Alfred student in the eighties, died re- cently at his home in Battle Creek, Mich. Mr. Green has lived in Al- fred a considerable part of his life, and has been a visitor here quite frequently.
Miss Elizabeth Bacon '15, a member of the Leroy High School faculty, was a guest of Alfred friends over the week-end.
Marcus A. Furnald
Marcus A. Furnald of Owego, N. Y., a veteran of the Civil "War,
died at the home of his sister, Mrs.
A. J. Remington, at "Whitesville, N. Y. Mr. Furnald was a stu- dent in Alfred during the year 1866-67, at that time living at Wirt, N. Y.
Lieutenant Governor Eshelman Dead
John M. Eshleman, lieutenant governor of California, died sud- denly at Indio, Cal., Monday, February 28th. Mr. Eshelman, who was only 39 years old, was a student in Alfred "during the years 1891-92-93, at which time he lived at Villa Ridge, 111. Soon after he left college he went to Califor- nia where he met with success that finally resulted in election to his high position in the state gov- ernment. His untimely death cuts short a career that gave promise of still higher honors among Alfred's distinguished alumni.

Entered at second-class matt matter at the P»st OtHoe in Hired. N. Y.
According to the campus rules the freshmen are subject to con- scription for work on the college activities. This custom is rapid- ly becoming absolute, until now almost the merest request for such assistance meets with a neg- ative response. Here is an oppor- tunity for the Student Senate to impress upon the freshmen their responsibility in such matters.
We do not mean, however, that it can be settled by the Senate alone, in fact its hands are tied without student opinion back of it. It is possible, tho, for the Student Senate to arouse the freshmen to their duties by assuming the leadership in crystallizing sentiment to such an end.
The Fiat is looking into the future. Its outlook cannot, however be said to be the most satisfactory, in fact it is rather bewildered. The problem at the bottom of this case is, how we shall secure prospective material for the editorial staff. Is there anybody interested ? Have they any newspMiw ability ? If there
are such people why do we not receive their assistance? These questions present themselves in our endeavor to each year make the Fiat more worthy the col- lege. Yet the fact remains that for some reason we do not meet with any response on the part of the students to " g o out for the paper," and the only work that is secured comes after appoint- ment to the staff.
Obviously, this is not desirable and many plans have been ad- vanced in the past to correct this. Each have, however, been of little value. One plan which has been tried with more or less success in other colleges re- mains for the Fiat. This is to publish class numbers, under which scheme each class, except the Seniors, would do all the work on one issue. This has many objections, but it serves the purpose of starting many in the work, which is really the most difficult part of writing for publication. We do not say yet that this will be done, but it is being carefully considered, and at present indications are that this or some similar idea will be tried.
Milton G-roves, '16, president of the Student Senate, in refer- ring to the editorial concerning the delay in setting definite dates for university events, added his suggestion to the situation, which was the propensity to postpone entertainments after the day had been set. Both ideas are causes in this complicating question, and are likewise more or less inter-related. Important activi- ties are left with no definite arrangement until a week or two before the time it is present- ed, and by that time something else has been scheduled for the same time. It is necessary, therefore, to postpone one, and, of course, the one of more general interest usually is given the stage.
This process occurs over and over again, throughout the year, with the result that nobody knows a week ahead when the various activities will take place.
Certainly as we said in last week's issue, this is not very far sighted from a business point of view. Add to this the fact that
such a process leads to the accumulation of events, to such a time as when it is necessary to have everything in a bunch.
We have a fair sample of such a time at present when the near- ness of the Agricultural School commencement makes this de- mand.
Does not this suggest that from a point of view of time, and the traditional state of finances of students that such methods are not so conducive to satis- factory results as a more syste- matic plan would be. We are here in college to learn. One of the most valuable lessons should be to eliminate our " haphazard, hit and miss, ineficient " methods for one that has business and convenience to recommend it.

Sophomores Graduate for the Armenians
Perhaps you aren't interested in mock graduations. Perhaps you are interested in the Armenians.
We cannot guarantee to be clever, to be funny, but we shall try. If you discover our limitations you will discover them second to our selves. If you are painfully con- scious of our efforts, you will know we have preceded you even in that.
However, if you are capable of real insipidity, if you can attain the level of true mental vacancy and grow hilarious over little fool- ishness, we welcome you. If you are not capable of these things, we ask simply your indulgence, and your silver,—for the Ar- menians.

ALFRED SENDS EXHIBIT Stonington, Conn., High School has asked Alfred to send an ex- hibit to a general exhibit of the various colleges throughout the country. The Alfred display has been sent, and it is expected it will be instrumental in securing several students from there for next year's freshman class. Miss Maud Congdon '09, is a member of the high school faculty there, while Mrs. Grace Coon Tefft '12, formerly taught in the high school.
Several present students in the college come from Stonington and Westerly, R. I., which is adjacent to the former place.
ATHLETIC COUNCIL'S MARCH MEETING The regular monthly meeting of the Athletic Council will be held, Wednesday, March 8th, at 7 P. M.
This is an important meeting as the revision of the Constitution will take place at this time. The original constitution was very good but certain situations have developed which will necessitate a few changes. After being passed upon by the Council, the revision will be posted on the various bul- letin boards for two weeks. At the end of the period the revised constitution will be voted on by a joint meeting of the two stu- dent bodies.

FROSH ADD BASKETBALL CONTESTS TO THEIR
RECORD
Gala Night For 19ers—Take Both Men's and Women's Games A complete sweep of the basket- ball honors, in the underclass con- tests, was registered by the Frosh, Wednesday evening, when the 19ers took both the men and wo- men games. This was the second game between the men's teams, which contest was arranged as the best two out of three, while the co-eds were settling their dif- ferances in the single game. The teams from both classes gave a good account of themselves by staging the hardest fought under- class games ever staged in Alfred, and, while the Frosh are jubilant over the outcome, they are aware of the close call they escaped at the hands of the Sophs.
Contrary to general expecta- tions the Soph women sustained a defeat by the Frosh in a game which required two extra five minutes of play, to determine the argument. The contest opened with a rush, the play being fast and furious. Wilson, star and captain of the Frosh team, started the scoring with- a foul, then quite as quickly scored with a field goal. Jackson for the Sophs, caged the ball for two points, the remainder of the first half result- ing in hard playing and equal basket shooting. The score at the end was 6-6.
The second half showed the players at their best, which brought forth steady cheering
from the stands. Although the shooting was limited to a basket apiece the pace increased toward the end and when the whistle blew the score was again tied 8-8.
A five minute extra period was decided upon which was charac- terized by some clever Avork on both sides. Wilson scored with a j foul, and immediately Harer scor-
ed for the Sophs with a sensa- tional field basket. The Frosh again scored on a foul by Wilson.
This extra period ended with a 10-10 score.
The final five minute half was slower, but still the determina- tion of both sides to win never de- j creased. In the last minute and a half of play Brown, the Frosh forward, scored on a field basket, which the Sophs were unable to duplicate and the game went to the Frosh 12-10.
The line up and summary was as follows:

Frosh Men Also Win Immediately following the wo- men's game the Frosh men and Soph men took the floor for the second time this season.. The
game, marked by clever pass work and sensational shoot- ing was with exception of th early part of the second half never in doubt, the Frosh clearlj being the masters of the situa tion.
The Frosh started the scoring when Sherwood tallied a field basket. Then Poole for the Sophs scored on a foul. Kenyon the Frosh captain scored on a pretty shot and from then on the game resulted in a snappy passing affair with an occasional basket by the Frosh. The Sophs were unable to score a field basket in this half, but managed to secure three fouls. The score at end of the first period was 11-3.
The ability of the Sophs to come back and the slowing up of the Frosh gave the former seven field baskets and one foul in the second half. Starting at full team, the Sophs rolled up three baskets in rapid succession, which threw a scare into the Frosh fol- lowers. It was a pretty example of not giving up until defeated, and, had the Frosh not awakened to their danger when they did, a lifferent story might have been the result. The Yearlings, how- ever, turned the trick an instant later, and scored frequently un- til the final whistle, with the score 27-18.

BOOKMAN HAS FINE SERIES FOR COLLEGE WOMEN Recommended by the Vocational
Bureau—Written by Successful Women
Dr. Paul B. Titsworth, secre- tary of the Vocational Bureau, calls the attention of Alfred people to a series on "The New World and the College Woman"
that is appearing in the Book- man. This series began in the February number and will con- tinue for four issues in all. In a recent issue the Fiat printed one of these articles written by Ma- thilda Vossler, Alfred '14, on '' Community Recreation.''
The series, .which is edited by Miss Helan J. Ferris, a Varrar graduate, who is connected with the welfare work of John Wana- maker's New York store, aims to present unusual vocations for wo- men by women who have taken the initiative in such lines and have made good. In order to have the articles do the most possible good, and to have them reach the people most interested, the Book- man offers the four issues for fifty cents, which is half the regu- lar price, to women undergradu- ates. Inasmuch as it is the desire of the Vocational Bureau to di- rect Alfred students into the vo- cation they are best fitted for, it was thought advisable, especially in view of the inability to secure vocational chats for the Fiat, which Dr. Titsworth described as
"having an off year," to bring this series to the attention of the students here.

ASSEMBLY
The assembly address of Wed- nesday, March 1, 1916, was given by Prof. W. C. Whitford on the subject, "Borrowing Money."
Prof. Whitford differentiated he- tween the two kinds of borrowing
—the wrong way, as the man who borrows with no intention of re- paying, and simply because it is easier to borrow than to earn, i.nd the judicious borrower who by co- operation gives himself added efficiency and does not mortgague his future by so doing. He gave some facts on the Student Loan Association, of which he is a mem- ber, showing the valuable work that can be done by such an or- ganization. Next week the Fiat hopes to publish the part of the address which referred to the Student's Loan Association.
CHORUSES' ORATORIO POST PONED UNTIL APRIL Change Necessitated By Complica
tion of Events
The presentation of the annual concert given by the University chorus under the leadership of Director Wingate, has been post- poned. It was first scheduled to take place in connection with the Agricultural School Commence- ment but circumstances have arisen which makes it impossible to give it during that week.
Director Wingate plans to put the concert on during 'the first or second week of April, the exact date to be arranged later. The chorus will give "Paul Revere's Ride." and "Lelawala" or "The Legend of Niagara." The ladies chorus will present Grieg's "Peer Gynt Suite."
The postponment of the concert renders it impossible for a few Ag- ricultural students to take part and it is to be regretted that efforts to arrange a suitable date before the closing of the term, f'ailed. It is probable that the chorus will present a standard oratorio at University Commence- ment in June, although no defin- ite plans have been made as yet.
COLLEGE MEN AND BUSINESS
After many gibing years the young college man is about to come into his own. It is begin- ning to be recognized that he really has some added value, be- cause of his college training, for a career in the workaday world The announcement of the Presi- dent of the American Inter- national Corporation that that organization purposes to recruit what will eventually become an army of employees largely from among young college graduates and train them for its use in foreign countries is the most important of a number of recent indications that the current is turning squarely in that direc- tion. Very largely the tradition that recent college graduates are of less value in business life than young men who have had no college experience has owed much of its strength to its musty age. Perhaps the business
world is just beginning to catch up with the facts in the case.
Perhaps also the more practical trend of college curricula nowa- days has _had something to do with the changing attitude of business men, while the im- mensely increased percentage of graduating classes looking for- ward to business as a profession has also had its influence,— New York Times.
COMPLETES COURSES OF LECTURES
Dr. J. N. Norwood completed his course of lectures, which he has been .giving each week to a group of Hornell women, today.
Dr. Norwood is a repeater in this work, for last year he delivered a similar series, and he gave so much satisfaction that he was se- cured again. This year about ninety took the course, and the attendance during the ten lectures was almost always up to the full quota.

JUNIOR PLAY DATE—THURS- DAY, MARCH 16
Continued from page one
The play deals with the witty men and women of England's no- bility, sincerely and satirically, without exaggerated caricature in drawing, and without extravagant fun-making in the episodes. It is classed as a comedy in four acts, but it is comedy of the highest type. The action, however, seri- ous it may be, never stiffens into serious drama, and on the other hand, however amusing it may be, it never relaxes into the robust and boisterous mirth of mere farce. The conversation sparkles and glistens with brisk witticisms and smart sayings. And under- neath this crackling of artificial wit, there is a well built play, the story of whch would please in the theater, even if the words were absolutely commonplace.,
The second act takes place in the drawing room at the home of Lord and Lady Windemere and if rumor can be trusted, we vouch that the twenty or more Lords and Ladies strutting be- fore the footlights in this scene, will present a veritable, modern fashion show.,
Developments more recent than those recorded in last week's issue of the Fiat have fixed the date of the Junior play, Thursday the six- teenth of this month rather than the eighteenth.
GLEE CLUB SURPASS ALL EXPECTATIONS
Continued from page one
men entered from both sides of the stage and assembled them- selves into a semi-circle close be- hind the footlights. The applause was very marked. One could scarcely ignore the fact that the entries at first were noticeably awkward. Later in the evening, however, they were managed much more, skillfully.
The program was delightfully varied and certainly none of it merits adverse criticism., Weak- nesses there were to be sure, but they were trivial in comparison with the excellence of the whole program. The broad expression of the club singing, the more sub- tle characterization by the quartet and the equally distinct values,
KANAKADEA TO BE OUT MARCH 20th

corporated into the Kanakadea under the present Junior class.
Several features are known to have been added, while the artis- tic work under Guy Eixford '17, promises to excell anything in previous books. But here specu- lation must cease, and comfort be found in the information of those on the inside that they have not been content merely with the
"best ever." This knowledge con- veys an unusual amount of infor- mation itself, in view of the high ranking Alfred has among college year books. If this year's book really does surpass those of past years, as it has been assured, then the Kanakadea will have a still stronger claim as having no peer among college publications of this nature.
which the solo work, the instru- mental music and the readings in- troduced, lent a charm of newness throughout the entire evening.
It would be a superficial view, however, to suppose that the suc- cessful performance the other night tops the success which the glee club hopes to attain. As a matter of strictest fact, it is only the beginning. The club has proved its ability to serve as genu- ine entertainers at home. Now, in the trips which it will take about the country in Alfred \s in terest, it must do as much for tht- unbiased stranger.

INTRAMURAL SERIES OFF TO GOOD START
Frosh Lead in College—Seniors in Ag School
Four games of the intra-raural games were played during the first week, and the pace set by these give promise of some inter- esting contests throughout the schedule. The only series in which more than one game was played was that of the college men, in which the Frosh took two con- tests. These include the victory over the Sophs and a win at the expense of the Juniors on Satur- day night. In this game the Frosh outplayed the Juniors and won hands down by a score of 42- 19. The upperclass team was unable to gauge the basket, and their defeat by the overwhelming score is attributable to this fail- ing.
In place of the schedule contest between the freshmen and senior women's teams of the college, the Ag seniors and freshmen played.
This game went where it was ex- pected to, but in the attempt the seniors came very near receiving the surprise of their life. The game was hard fought and only
•two sensational baskets toward the end of the game gave the seniors the victory, 18-14.
This week the games for to- night will be the only attraction.
By defeating the Sophs the sec-
ond time, the third game will not be necessary, while the Ag seniors and frosh, also scheduled for Sat- urday night, settled their differ- ences last week. Tonight the senior and junior men of the col- lege and the juniors and frosh men of the Ag School.
Following is the standing of the teams that have played:
