WORKING PUPILS ARE STUDIED BY
NOTED PHYSICIAN
NO FIAT LUX
Because of the Christmas and New Year recess, there w i l l be no issues
! of the Fiat Lux published for the next three weeks. The first issue j w i l l appear on January 15, one week i after studies are resumed.
The following was offered to the F i a t Lux by President Boothe C.
Davis. His son, Dr. Stanton H. Da- vis of Plainfield, N. J., is a close friend of Dr. R. W. Bradshaw, who compiled the following data from the student body of Oberlin College.
The college health service offers pe- culiar opportunities for the effective practice and preventive medicine. The health, of a particular student group may be found to differ markedly from.
that of another group. A study of tlie environment and activities of the group will often bring to light the factors wihich contribute to the ex- cessive illness of the group. At Ober- lin the health of the self-supporting student seemed to warrant investiga- tion.
The desire for a college education is not confined to the class who can eas- ily afford this luxury. Many young men and women throughout the coun- t r y in families in which there can be no place in the budget for the several thousand dollars required: for colle- giate training are willing and anxious t o undertake the task of earning their
•way through four years of college.
A small percentage of these am- bitious students with what they earn in work in the college dining halls, in college offices, from the core of furnaces, in odd jobs and in summer work accumulate enough to defray four years of college expense com- pletely, while others secure a portion of their budget from their family or friends. Some of the self-supporting students excel in scholarship, athlet- ics and general campus popularity.
Others are little heard of in college, Continued on Page Tnrne
WATER ANALYSIS MADE FOE ALFEED
It is probably not realized by the majority of Alfred students that Dr.
Paul C. Saunders of the chemistry de- partment is authorized by the Village Board to make an analysis of the local water supply. These are run once or twice a month but up until the pres- j ent there has never been any indica-
| tion that Alfred's water is not of the purest.
The purpose of the analysis as per- formed by Dr. Saunders is to deter- j mine the presence of harmful bacteria.
! The procedure is the same as is used at the Wellsville water works daily.
| The water is first filtered and then analysed for the micro-organisms.
During the recent epidemic of typhoid at Olean, Superintendent Rowe of the j Wellsville water works was called j there to aid in the seach for the source
of the disease.
The equipment necessary for the tests was acquired by the Department of Chemistry in January. It consisted of chemicals—nutrient afar and lac- tose broth. An electric incubator (maintained constantly at blood heat), and an electric and steam sterilizer.
These tests are standard ones, em- ployed in many laboratories through- out the country. The method is spon- sored by: The American Society, The Association of Official Agricultural Chemists and the American Health j Association. It is to be found in a booklet entitled. "The Standard Meth- ods for the Examination of Water and Sewage", issued by the American Pub- lic Health Association.

This Day, Age Bad—Read
About Times 40 Years Ago
It hardly seems fair to reveal the past in this fashion, but sometimes t h e worm—in this case, the present generation of college students—must turn witness, therefore all ye long- suffering children how the ancestors
•celebrated Christmas 40 years ago.
"Vacation did not come at Christmas;
t e n days was given at Thanksgiving and an early spring term. Conse- quently the students were expected to attend Chapel Christmas morning.
This is a description, from a Hornell- sville (Hornell) newspaper, of their entertainment the night previous.
Students of Alfred University Enjoy A Christmas Party at Hornellsville
A very pleasant party of young people from Alfred University enjoy- ed a Christmas supper and hop at the Page House in Hornellsville Christ- mas Eve. Dancing commenced at 10:30 P. .M. and continued until 12:00
when the doors of the dining room were thrown open and a bountiful repast was served which did credit to the "chef tie cuisine" of the Page House. (Shades of yesterday and of this famous Page House!) After dinner dancing was resumed and con- tinued for some time (as actually, until 4 a. m., when the party em- barked in sighs for Alfred!)
Among the most noticable costumes were those worn by Miss Agnes Bab- cock, a black satin and lace; Miss Harriet Rogers, olive green sild and plush; Miss Hortense Roger, olive silk and plush, and Miss Susie Emer- son, brown faille francaise, Miss Ber- tha Burdick, black silk Egyptain, gold ornaments; Miss Leona Burdick, black velvet with natural flowers;
Miss Hollie Terwilliger, Empire green India mild, Mechlin lace; Miss Ger- trude Burdick, Lavendar surah silk,

Founders' Day was appropriately ob- served at the regular Assembly, Thurs- j day morning, in Alumni Hall. The j speaker of the day was Dr. August S. Downing who has been for 30 years active in education in this state.
The assembly was opened by the Academic Procession while the student body joined in "The Song of the Class- es" which has come to take a prom- inent place in all Alfred's programs.
President Davis in introducing Dr.
I Downing called to the attention of the [ students the reasons for Founders' Day. He told of the origin of the or- j iginal Alfred University.
Dr. Downing cleverly combined the j "Ridiculous and sublime", presenting j his topic in such personal manner that
he held the interest to the end.
In his opening worGs, Dr. Downing said, "The three hardest things in the world are: first, to climb a fence which leans toward you; second, to kiss a girl leaning away from you, and third to make an address—living up to the introduction of a friend." Dr.
Downing certainly more than lived up to the introduction of President Davis.
Dr. Downing traced the history of Alfred from a pioneer college. At the time when Alfred was founded there were only nine other colleges in this state. They were Columbia, Union, Hamilton, New York University Roch-, ester, Colgate, Fordham, University of Buffalo, St Lawrence and Alfred, j He said "You are descendants in your I ideals and purposes in life from the tenth oldest college in your state.
"But there is something more in life than money, industry, position and leading men to kill their fellow men.
A person has two people to live with, God and himself. One must have something in him to make himself companionable to himself. One has to I wake up to the fact that there is some-
! thing more in life than material j things. You cannot make a success in life by attaching a degree to your name. Purpose is better than any de- gree.
Dr. Downing closed his address with this advice, "Weigh carefully your pur- pose, then, Go ahead."
Assembly was closed by the passing of the Academic procession through an aisle formed by the student body.

Students From Farms Lead In Parental Occupations With 67
Engagement Announced At Delta Sigma Phi House
The engagement of Miss Dorothy Davis and Thomas F. Servatius, both of Bradford, Pa., was recently an- I nounced at Delta Sigma Phi. "Tom- j my" will be remembered as one of
Alfred's star football players, who was seriously injured in last year's Amherst game, and was compelled to leave school because of the injuries.
Students from the farms still lead in the list of parental occupations at Alfred. There are 67 students whose parents are farmers. Second in 'Ye list are children of home makers with 45.
But the total of the pupils from the.
cities outnumber those from the coun- try. Because of the great diversity of trades in the city, they are more evenly divided. Many ave from the professional class with a !arge num- ber from the business executive di- vision.
All types of business contribute to the support of the students in Alfred University as is shown by the follow- ing:

Hoilday Greetings
In only a few days, the student will be leaving these buildings behind and going to their homes to enjoy the long hoped-for and much-needed rest of the Christmas and New Year recess.
School cares will be dropped and company of family and friends will be sought.
School days will be resumed on January 8 th for the final drive to midyear exams. Every student should return with plenty of vigor and determination to make the best of his opportuni- ties.
The Fiat Lux has no sermon to preach at this time nor any moral to challenge. Its only word is—"We wish each and every one a Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year.
Post Mortrnn
This week, the fraternities on the campus are bidding new students whom they wish to have in their membership. They have sent out their bids according to the rules to those who are de- sired according to the present opinion of the members.
Some, in fact many, have not received the formal requests for joining a fraternity. These may feel slighted but they should have no reason to be so. Each fraternity has selected those stu- dents that it believes to be the sort that would make a part of the body. But this does not close bidding. It will continue throughout the year.
It has been estimated that about 40 per cent, of the men of the Freshman class had been sent bids. Remember that is not the principal object;
of attending college.
Is There A Santa Glaus ?
I believe that if we spent more time reading up on the above topic there would be fewer wars.
Who started war, may I ask ? Cain and Abel of course. Why? Well, Cain said Santa was able to fit any chimney and Abel declared he can if it's wide enough. And that was a cause of the war between mice and cats. Who started this affair? The mice, by trying to tie a Christmas bell on the cat's neck.
Oh, I can give infinite arguments to disprove my statement and so put me in the right. We hear so many talks about war that our slumber- ing interests are aroused and we go out to see if what is said is true. That and no other reason is the cause for conflicts between final examina- tions.
Defoe said that if a woman was given an ed- ucation she would become less talkative and so the number of wars per century would decrease in geometric proportions. The effect of educa- tion has, sad to admit, done the opposite. So, now-a-days we have all sorts of devices which tend for bigger and better wars. This reduces the possibility of the bachelors and tends to raise our elevator bills. "Women over all" seems to be the battle cry of the fair sex. So don't be surprised if Santa wears a skirt this year. It's gotten so a man can't swear without a shrill voice telling him to "shut his - mouth".
As long as we are gentlemen the females will defeat us on the gridiron.
So I thusfore conclude there is a Santa Claus but he is too modest to appear in public.
Holiday eheer-Dun-by-gum Opinion Writers
Will the student who dropped the opinion in the Fiat Lux box Friday, please notify the ed- itor. It is true that the name will not be used with the article but the editor wants to know who is the writer of all the copy that is published.
He gi\-es Ms word that nobody else will know the writer.
What The Harriers Say
It's easy enough to say things, to slip into words of praise,
To tell a fellow how good he is, to flatter him and his ways;
Yes, it's easy, we know it and avoid it. It cheap- ens our idea of worth,
Yet we're stating our creed and we're telling you it's the truest thing on earth.
"The Glory that comes from a winning season, the credit for a fighting team, The prize that was won in the Middle At- lantics, School spirit no longer a dream;—
These are things, there are many more, you know them, you and the rest—
But all of it's due to Ferguson, he's our coach and he's one of the best."
Yes that's our creed or maxim, it's true and it stands forever.
Four of us men will ne'er run again, but forget it we will never!
There's Courage, Strength and Wisdom, he's shown the season throughout--
There never was a time, and it's a plain darn crime that, he had more than a score of men out;—
"The Glory that comes from a winning sea- son, the credit for a fighting team, The prize that was won in the Middle At-
lantics, School Spirit no longer a dream ;—
These are the things, there are many more, you know them you and the rest,—
But all of it's due to Ferguson, he's our coach and we claim he's the best.
Talk About Ancestors
Lots of folks seem to have ancetsors in the Hall of Fame. Well I'll tell you right off I have some in the Battery Aquarium. Go clown there some day and you'll see grandpop Am- phioxos and a couple of the Cyclostome strain.
I'm in the class of man that does know where it came from. The Erie brought me here and I paid my fare. It took that line of most re- sistance to passenger trains eleven hours to bring- me a few hundred miles from Am- phioxus. Some folks around this campus don't seem to realize that ever since my kid sister
• grew out of the carriage age I've quit being a perambulating digestive tube.
That wasn't a big enough insult so
1tMs party termed me a modified worm. Wonder where he gets this modified part. It's useless to argue there are too many books to prove that you are wrong. Say, did you ever meet a locomotive and have it out for the right of way. That's how I felt the first time I heard
"Prove that Ontogeny is a recapitulation of Phylogeny." Someone in the same room gasped, "We are lost. Lower away." The way those marks turned out you would think they overheard that. I have never heard of a student committing suicide because his index was too high. The only way I'll get my de- gree is by buying a thermometer. Do you know of anyone who wants to soil a secojid- hand one?
If form and function vary together why has a needle got an eye when it has no need for vision? Then again why has a typewriter so many keys when it has no home? How does the collar button manage to disappear when it has no feet ? Why is the Steinheim warm when it has no heating system ? There are a couple of questions no scientific book endeavors to explain. What's the use knowing that a fish breathes through gills when you're drowning?
The warden has just arrived and is going to take me back to my cell. See you again soon.

SUCCEEDS FENNER
Lloyd W. Larson was elected captain of the Varsity basketball team for this year at a meet- ing of the players before the Alumni game last week. Larson succeeds Donald O. Fenner who did not return to school last Fall.
Gus has been a main cog in the Varsity team of Coach Heers at for- ward for the past two
seasons. He has played consistantly on the court by his teamwork and accurate shooting for the basket.
Larson made a Varsity letter in football this Fall, playing in the back j field on the second team although | it was his first season on the grid- iron. He has also been a candidate for the track team for the past two years.
SPORT LIGHTS 1
In last week's issue, you claimed that a team continually of the of- fense could not keep a good defense.
However, to my knowledge, nearly every coach believes that a hard and fast offense is the best defense that a team can have.
'
TONIGHT'S GAM
Tonight's game which is listed as a home contest has brought up sever- eral difficulties. The chief one js that of the co-eds attending. Dean Dora K. Degan, following many re- quests as to the privileges granted on such occasions, states that the college women have permission to attend the contest observing the usual rules for chaperonage as given in the Frosh Bible. This permission is good to the close of the contest but does not include restaurant pri- vilege.
The above statement is decidedly true. But, to hark back to last week's statement, the writer believes that the weight, strength and speed of the team are determining factors of the offense, and, comparatively speaking, can this team have a hard and fast offensive that is strong enough to act as a defense.
The results of the Rochester game last Friday should predict a marked improvement in the court game at Alfred. The conference champs are always hard to beat, especially on their home court, and the Purple made a strong bid although it did not quite make game.
Frosh basketball looks pretty fair, even from a pessimistic viewpoint, but in this case a successful season is not necessarily determined by the uumber of games won. The form- i ation of coordination and team work among the new men is one of the best preparations of varsity ma- terial that any coach ever say.

VARSITY TAKES 42-32 WIN FROM
ALUMNI QUINTET
Coach E. A. Heers put his entire Varsity basketball team into the game in an effort to overcome the constant threats of the Alumni team on the high school court, last Tues- day night. At the same time, the gratis using only five men, for that is all they had, kept close on the col- lege boys except in the last minutes when they pulled away to win 42 to 32.
Two styles of play were demon- strated in the game. The Varsity showed that of Coach Heers with a blocking offense close under the bas- ket. The Alumni played a passing and dribbling game and tries for scores on long shots. The work of Fenner was outstanding.
The poorest part of the game was the excessive razzing handed Coach McLane who handled the contest.

FKOSH LOSE POOR GAME TO VISITORS
IN FIRST CONTEST
The sterling passwork and accur- ate eye of Grimaldi, Sheehan and Fay of Hammondsport High School court team spelled defeat for the poorly-organized Frosh basketballers Saturday evening at the high school gym. The score at the final whistle was 30 to 20.
Joe Shostok, monopolizing the shooting scored twelve points for the Alfred Frosh while Francis Gagliano and Lester Vance did some fair guarding. Lockwood, tall Frosh center played a good floor game and passed somewhat accurately through- out the game.
Grimaldi, forward of the visiting team was the outstanding player get- ting five goals in addition to fine floorwork.

The sequel to this most interest- ing; the sleighs drew up before the chapel at just 8 a. m., and discharged its load of gayely clad passengers.
The president of the college, Jon- than Allen, was enraged at this in- sult as he considered it that the pu- pils were threatened with suspension and even expulsion. The presence of one faculty member and his wife saved the day, but such a festive event did not escape without a good deal of excitement and some danger.
ALFRED CLASHES WITH YELLOW IN
The Yellow-Jackets of Rochester University will be Alfred's opponents tonight at the Hornell Armory gym in what promises to be a thrilling contest. The game will get under- way at 8 o'clock.
Both Alfred and Rochester are about even in strength this year, the score of last Friday's game as a crit- erion. Coach Heers has strengthen- ed the weak points in the Purple and Gold five and expects to triumph over the Yellow-Jackets tonight.
Last Friday's contest resulted 34 i to 30 with Rochester in the long end.
Larson, Steele and Hulse played weli for the Alfred team while Metz, Mor-
! ris and Kenyon starred for the win- ners.
Both teams were poor from the foul line although Alfred scored six fouls.
