Prof. Says

He sat in a corner of the gymnasium, gray head bent over a tangle of ropes.

"Professor Place?"

A smile. '"Well, guess that's my name—but it's more of a title than it ought to be. I was at the head of mechanical drawing in the college, and then in charge of the Greenhouse for fourteen years".

"Came here to live on my brother- in-law's farm when I was 16. Jona- than Allen was president then."

He paused and chuckled at a mem- ory. "Within a week the farmer took me up to the new gym. You know, that was the present wood-working shop. Built by student conscription".

"Well, I'd never seen anything as fancy as that—swings, bars, trapeze.

Boy! Won't we have fun!" The man of seventy laughed at the boy of sixteen. "The next day I was so lame I couldn't even walk."

"What'd we do before the gym was built? Exercised with the good old buck-saw. There wasn't any N. Y. A.

then. Townspeople bought wood a certain length and students that needed money got out and cut it."

I worked on the farm for board and room and $25 pin money a year.

Wouldn't go far now would it? Ring- ing the bell for chapel paid the $30 yearly tuition. We got along.

Used to be janitor for a while. We had to kindle fires in the classrooms every morning and then the professors kept them going during the day."

Professor Place rubbed his chin meditatively, "No, we didn't have

Abrasives Important Ceramics Head Says

Ceramic engineers, professors, students and townspeople gathered in the assembly room of the new Ceramic building on Tuesday night to hear Ross C. Purdy lecture on "Recerft Ad- vances in the Abrasine Industry." Mr.

Purdy is General Secretary of the American Ceramic Society.

"Grinding wheels of all sorts are considered ceramic products," the speaker said, "in that sand bonded by glass or porcelain is used. It is worked by ceramic processes and fined in ceramic kilns." i

Mr. Purdy stressed the necessity of j absolute precision and uniformity in the various processes of the industry where quality is the greatest economy.

Various incidents when the industry rallied to the front were related by the speaker. He told how the French had abandoned the hope of manipula- ting the Panama Canal gates when the abrasine industry came to their aid.

The gates were sent to Worchester, Mass., where they were ground on mammouth wheels after which they worked successfully.

Wheels made.in this industry play an important part even in the manu- facture of shredded wheat. Mr. Purdy went on to explain how essential they are to the automobile industry and to all industrial plants.

Marie Dressier Play To Be Offered Soon

At a meeting held on Friday afternoon, the Footlight Club and Theta Alpha Phi voted to present for their next production, a three act play,

"The Late Christopher Bean."

This play as many know was a motion picture several years ago starring Marie Dressier. It is hoped that this play may be presented during the week preceeding Christmas vacation.

Try-outs will be held on Thursday and Friday of thi week from three o'clock until six o'clock and are open to any member of the student body re- gardless of class. The play will be on the reserve shelf in the library and it is requested that anyene planning to try-out shall first acquaint themselves with the play.

A call will be made at a later date for tho3e who wish to work on the production staff, so if there is anyone who is interested in dramatics but who does not care to act this will be an opportunity to get into some of this work.

The Footlight Club and Theta Alpha Phi thank all who helped in making the Frosh-Soph plays a success.

They will receive points or credit toward membership in the Footlight Club or Theta Alpha Phi, in accordance with the amount of work done.

Ruth Whitford Addresses Club On Ceramic Ware

Miss Ruth Whitford of the Ceramic College read a paper on "The History of the White Wares, Particularly of Modern Dinner Ware," before the Philomanthean Club of Kane, Pa., last Monday. Miss Whitford took with her an exhibition of work from the College to illustrate her talk and Miss Martha Gustavson, a special student In the Ceramic Art course in 1932-33, also had samples of her work on display.

Speaks Before Rotary Club Pres. J: Nelson Norwood spoke at the Wellsville Rotary Club last Tues- day. His talk was on some of the im- plications of Italo-Ethiopian conflict.

The content of the speach was similiar to the one delivered before the Inter- national Relations Club here recently.

Pick Nine Editors For Junior Annual

Appointment of nine members of the editorial stafi of the 1937 Kana- kadea is announced today by Editor- in-Chief Stanley C. Orr. Stephen S.

Bartlett of Worchester, Mass., will serve as associate editor. Bartlett,

\»ho was also a caandidate for the chief elitorship of the new annual, earned his position as associate editor by ability displayed as underclass assistant on the 1936 annual.

A statement from George Hill, business manager, calls attention to the steady progress which is made with the photography.

Heavy Vote Favors Neutrality;

53 Give Pledge Never To Fight

By practically unanimous vote some 350 students who attended a mass meeting Friday morning as part of a nation wide youth mobilization in pro- test against war, approved a rresolu- tion favorirng strict neutrality and another advocating voluntary rather than compulsory ROTC training in colleges.

Surrise was expressed when 53 students, more than had been expected, subscribed to the Oxford pledge which binds them not to support their country in any war which it might con- duct.

Four speakers addressed the meeting from a platform adorned with such signs as "Scholarships, not Bat- tleship," "Bury War—War Buried Millions," and "Peace, Not Pieces".

Dr. Joseph Seidlin, professor of

mathematics, said a militant peace movement might arise in the colleges when the war issue was regarded as equally important with dances and late-permissions.

David Veit of Horrnell, president of the sophomore class, told how the causes of war lie deep in human nature, and that '"international conflicts .will not be averted until men are better able to govern rrelations with their fellows."

Miss Sylvia Gailar of Rochester, vice-president of the Forensic Society, laid the blame for war at the door of munition makers and their hire propagandists. She urged reason as the surest opponent of mob hysteria.

Preceding his invocation, Chaplain James C. McLeod defended the

We both laughed. "Tell me, Pro- fessor, was that rule about men and women not walking together just a law or was it enforced?"

"Oh my! I should say it was enforced. They were very strict.

President Allen used to go out and chase students all over town to see that it was obeyed."

"There used to be plenty of pranks."

He paused. "Of course, dancing was forbidden."

Open-mouthed astonishment on the part of the listener. "It was?" -s

"Oh, it was a sin. But sometimes they'd run away to some farm house over the hill and have a dance.

There wasn't any smoking either.

Why, there was only one boy in the whole college who smoked and he did it on the sly. Occasionally someone got drunk and then there was another scandal."

"We had plenty to do. Ever heard of the lyceums? There were four—

two for the women and two for the men. The boys used to have discus- sions, "Resolved, that the utility of beauty is greater than the beauty of mi'ity."

Ceramic Society Speaker

Noted Inventor Speaks Tonight

Silverman, Prominent Glass Technologist, To Address Ceramic Society

One of the best-known glss tech- nologists in America, Dr. Alexander Silverman, will address the Alfred University branch of the American Ceramic Society on Tuesday evening.

The public is invited to attend.

Doctor Silverman is often called to solve glass problems of leading glass manufacturers. He has developed an alabaster glass which has made millions for the owners of the patent.

Another of his inventions, a light- ing device for microscopes, is in use all over the world and has been called the only important advance in that field in the last 60 years.

Graduated din 1902 from the Uni- versity of Pittsburgh, Doctor Silver- man worked for an industrial concern two years, followed graduate studies at Cornell University, and returned to the University of Pittsburgh, where he is professor of chemistry.

In 1930 and 1934 Doctor Silverman was abroad at world-wide confer- ences representing the American Ceramic Society, the National Re- search Council, and the National Academy of Sciences. He is a member of 15 societies and fraternities, and the author of innumerable technical articles for magazines.

Fascism Is Subject Of Speech Tonight

Leading Organist To Give Program

M a n y C r i t i c s P r a i s e M i c h i g a n Department Head—Say Skill Unsur- passed

No Admission Charge Palmer Christian Will Play

Here Sunday Evening on Third Musical Tour

For the first time an Alfred audi- ence is to have the privilege of hearing one of the world's outstanding or- ganists when Palmer Christian gives a recital next Sunday evening at the village church.

Mr. Christian is the head of the organ department at the University of Michigan and is now on his third transcontinental tour through the largest cities and musical centers of the United States

Critics in New York and Chicago as well as Detroit and Rochester are lavish in their praise of Mr Christian and say "His technique is faultless and his skill is unsurpassed. He is a master of his instrument"

LaVahn Maesch well known to many Alfredians as dedicator of the organ in the Alfred church has studied under Mr. Christian.

"The opportunity of hearing this great musician is an unusual and rare privilege," said Mr. Maesch.

This exceptional artist was secured through the efforts and interests of Professor Ada Becker ,Seidlin.

There is to be no admission charge but it is hoped that the voluntary- contributions will be sufficient to care for the expenses incurred.

Fascism will be the theme of a talk by James C. McLeod to be given be-!

fore the International Relations Club ! on Tuesday evening.

The address will include:

1. A background of Fascism as a!

political thory rising from its \ original cradle in Italy.

2. The nature of Italy.

3. Fascism as a World Menace.

4. Fascism compared to Socialism, Communism, and Naziism.

5. Fascism's appeal to students on college campuses.

6. Fascism and the danger to the United States.

'Chaplain McLeod states that there are mild forms of Fascism present in this country today, such as are found in the mining districts of Kentucky.

The International Relations Club invites guests to hear Chaplain Mc- Leod discuss this elusive question openly on Alfrd's campus for the first time.

Freshmen Assigned Soon To Advisers

Freshmen this week are to be assigned to faculty counsellors, it is announced by Dean Alfred E. Whitford.

These faculty members will guide and advise freshmen throughout the year on any problems of scholastic nature which they may have.

Preliminary reports on each freshman's academic progress are now being called for and those students with an average grade below C will be requir.ed to report to their faculty counsellors for a conference.

These professional advisors, six of whom will be assigned to Liberal Arts students and seven to Ceramic Engineering students, are professors of freshman subjects and of the Liberal Arts faculty. Students will be assigned so that not more than 12 will be under the supervision of one professor. Each advisee will have at least one class under his or her ad- visor in order to insure a better mutual understanding.

For Liberal Arts students: Pro- fessors Austin D. Bond, Charles D.

Buchanan, Wendell M. Burditt, M.

Ellis Drake, Eva L. Ford and Joseph Seidlin.

For Ceramic Engineering students:

Professors E. F. Hildebrand, Lester R. Polan, John R. Spicer, Lloyd R.

Watson, David W. Weaver, Alfred E.

Whitford and Leland E. Williams.

Notice

Scouting fraternity will meet Thurs- day night at 7:15 for a report on committees. Following a short business session, a program will be given.

Knitting Craze Invades College;

Suggested As Football Exercise

A new sound is echoing through the stately halls of Alfred University.

It is a sound that has even greater resonance than freshman giggles, although it is just as predominate and contagious No, it not the click of spike heels on cement floors. It is the click of knitting needles—millions of them, every where all the time, or rather there will be millions if the epidemic is not ha^ed.

Even now young ladies carry their knotting with them to meetings and to the library. In another week the epidemic may invade the class rooms.

Professors and students of both sexes will be knitting in rythm so that some poor, unfortunate victim may be able to recite a few words between

"clicks".

Certain professors may even try to apply knitting to a particularly dia- bolical course called drafting; this would be done in the vain hope of making some few freshmen women understand that one "knits" a couple of lines together, then "purls" four,

"drops" a few numbers on the result- ing mess, and even then it is not right My goodness, it must have stretched during the drawing process.

Next fall every man on the football team probably will be required to knit at least one hour daily. The ob- ject of this will be that any man who can hold a pair of knitting needles for one hour could, perhaps, hold a football for a least one minute.

A Successful Forum **•

There can be little doubt as to the success of the Alfred University Forum this year, if all the entertainers live up to their reputations as did Governor LaFollette. A man whose character and ability cannot be denied, the Governor en- hanced his reputation a thousand fold. If his speech was any criterion of his mental resources and we assume that it was, then the future can spell nothing but success for him.

Those who met Governor LaFollette in person were greatly impressed. His personal magnatism is to be envied by students throughout the entire country. Alfred University was honored and pleased to have him as the initiator of a promis- ing Forum season.

How Would You Spend It ?

On of our editorial writers bumped into a suggestion this week, and thought it worth pub- licizing. The idea, from another mind, blasted its way into his intellectual sanctorum, that it would be interesting to know what the students would do if the $1,732,000 being raised in our centennial drive, were given to them to dis- trimute.

We wonder what they would do if theirs were the task of raising the money?

On The Curve

Students complain that so long as the university continues its policy of marking " on the curve," there can be no chance to raise individual marks when the increased studying in the class is uniform. Therefore, the chance of raising marks may not be in proportion with the increased knowledge.

All this discussion reminds us of George Eliot's statement:—

"There is no short-cut, no patent tram-road, to wisdom. After all the centuries of invention, the soul's path lies through the thorny wilder- ness which must still be trodden in solitude, with bleeding feet, with sobs for help, as it was trodden by them of all time."

If we have the knowledge, why worry about the mark?

Intestinal Fortitude

At the ill-starred Niagara game, a Niagara man was heard to say, "Well at least those Alfred fellows have a lot of intestinal fortitude." Wte second the motion.

Now that the season is over, we can speak with some reflection on the past, and give better evaluation to a football season fraught with dif- ficulties which neither coach nor players could overcome.

Usually when news reports tell of injuries to a team, the public is inclined to look at it as propaganda. But the daily appearance of crutches on the campus leaves no doubt as to the truth concerning these injuries. Alfred's football team has had the odds against it.

However others may feel about this season, the student body and the Alumni should at least pay our team the same tribute given them by the Niagara man. Stamina is the word for it.

Opinions

Don't be afraid to write to the opinion editor.

We want the views of the student body. We want to have you express your thoughts, hopes, desires, and beliefs. If you want to express yourself, do it through us. Those who wish to speak their thoughs, are welcome to use the columns of the Fiat Lux.

"Without free speech no search for truth is useful; without free speech no discovery of truth is useful; without free speech progress is checked and the nations no longer march forward toward the nobler life which the future holds for man. Better a thousand fold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech. The abuse dies in a day, but the denial slays the life of the people, and. entombs the hope of the race."

Nov. 8, 1935 Miss Dorothy Saunders

Alfred, New York.

Dear Miss Saunders;

In regard to the article printed in the October issue of the Fiat Lux, it seems unjust to make such an accusation against the Student Senate.

Just where that information was obtained we do not know. We therefore wish that you publish our reply which presents an authentic analysis.

Yours very truly, Bernice Mautner, Rep.

In consideration of the erroneous analysis taken of the Student Senate we, as a body will attempt to correct that report and also enlighten some of the newer members of our campus namely, freshman.

The Student Senate is compara- ively young, having been established only three years ago. This year it has only served the student body ince September. During that time it has taken several democratic steps: the handling of elections, the support ot the Junior class' year book subscrip- tions, and it is now considering budgets for the expenses of recognized school organizations.

When the survey was taken, soror-

ities and fraternities were at their lowest ebb, because pledges were not included, and as yet they do not have a.uy representatives because they are not acquainted with conditions in Al- fred. However, they obtain their representatives later.

In regard to the large group ui out- siders, may we be reminded that three special meatings had to be called in order to elect just one representative for that group.

Spring issue of the Fiat quoted 56 per cent of students represented as compared to the present 26 per cent.

The Senate functions as a just body and has existed with the same total of representatives each year. Let it not be forgotten that it was the Stu- dent Senate that brought smoking privileges and Friday night social privileges to Alfred's campus.

Dear Editor:—

•Maybe I'm wrong but I would like to know whether or not the Fiat Lux is a paper for the whole student body of Alfred University or for the bene- fit of a certain few.

Theta Kappa Nu worked 13 years to pay off her mortgage; and the article was cut to less than half of its original length and shoved on to a back page of the Students Paper.

Doesn't she rate the front page?

There are only eight houses on the campus and of these only three have their mortgage paid in full. Is The

] Burning of a Mortgage on Our Campus News of Secondary Importance?

I may seem upjust but I do think such news is much more important than the hanging of a new sign down- town or a description of a Frosh Meeting. It Rates The Front Page, Or Maybe I Am Wrong.

M. Whaley Dear Editor: —

I sincerely hope that the student body enjoyed the charming little love story which replacd our editorials last week. If they did, we should continue to write the love stories, since we cannot seem to create any response by our editorials.

I'm not quite sure about the atti- tude of the student body toward the Fiat Lux or its editorial policy; such as it is, but I'll wager that something is wrong!

It seems to me that it would be interesting to know whether or not the student body would prefer some such elucidation as appeared in the place of last week's editorials. It also seems to me, that we should make a more definite attempt to find out what the student body would

Young Qiant Sold On College

By Smooth-Talking Prophet

By Sydney GARGANTUA sweated copiously in the heat of his attic chamber.

With dulling perspicacity and waning perseverence, the young giant pored over the lavishly illustrated college pamphlets and brochures which the mail courier had dumped at his door- step that morning. Flipping page after page—pausing pensively now and then Gargantua grew morose and sullen, because his mind refused to be made up.

He lifted his huge body from his chair—and cursed when he bumped his pate on the low ceiling. He fell to pacing back and forth in the tiny room, from one wall of books to the other. A glance through the only window—a fly-specked square of glass—notified Gargantua that the day was on the wane. He struck a match, and pressed into service as auxiliary illumination a superannuated oil lamp that sputtered forth a feeble glow, emitting myriads of carbon particles.

Suddenly, through the smoky haze, a blast of song arose from the court- yard below. Gargantua disgustedly kicked over the pile of casuistical catalogs into a silly heap on the floor, and swung open the soiled window.

A great crowd had gathered in the square. In the midst, a score of pretty youths were collected, and from their throats came the sonorous glee of male voices, soaring in dia- phonic rhapsody. Each young man was costumed in fine doublet of pow- der-blue, and flannel hose of virgin snowiness—and all marvelled that it remained so wondrous fresh and clean.

For some minutes their mellow voices focused in a mighty integer of song—with a paucity of discord.

Then Gargantua flexed a forearm and searched the room for something to hurl

Sound ceased; from behind the youthful minstrel band stood up a tall, white-haired, sacerdotal person- age, and in metallic monotone he spoke fiery words to the multitude. Even from his lofty position Gargantua caught wisps of popular remarks concerning the gesturing stranger. "The Fork-Tongued Prophet" they were calling him. "He comes from great distances and calls upon all to go with him to places of learning. He begs, entreats, implores us to follow him to the wonderful City of the Lamp of Knowledge."

From the antiquarian orator float- ed up, on drafts of air, many phrases:

"University of universities . . . . finest and most elaborate equipment of all

thousands of manuscripts a bibliotechnician's paradise . . . . the sporting ground of savants and sages . . . . grandest, most thorough, most far-reaching departmental discipline tutorial services gratis max- imus mundis Academy of Socrates notwithstanding come, people, come join the mighty army

carpe diem! make the most of today genufect to the god of worth and understanding . . . . "

And the crowd was perceptibly perturbed, for they began moving homewards with heads bowed, and pensiveness clouding their counte- nances.

Gargantua hurried from his room,

—slid down the shiny bannister to the main hall, colliding at the bottom with some gibbering flunky browsing on the stair. Out in the square, Gar- gantua sought out the snowy-haired Prophet . . . .

"I wish words with you, Father,"

spoke Gargantua.

"Yea, and you shall have them,"

smiled the stranger, grabbing our hero by the nape of the neck and con- ducting him to a haven from the crowd.

"I am disturbed, sir," began Gar- gantua. "All my friends say I am not yet a man—although I am indeed much taller and stronger than they.

They tell me that I must go forth and acquire great learnings and come among my people and minister to them."

"They say that the academies deal out inscribed documents of astonishing worth—that these proferred parch- ment are open sesames to high position and exalted honor—that they are Aladdin lamps summoning the Genie- of Success."

Gargantua was panting after thia cough-up of oratory.

"Aye, and veracty vaults from your speaking lips, my son," beamed the eldster. "Education is> moreover, a great feast to prepare for the long, hard fast of life.

"Gorge yourself on abstruse erudi- tion,—epicurize, gormandize, glutton- ize, nearly burst your belly in the ravenous repast of learning.

"You stuff your mind with the fat of knowledge, with the carbohyd- rates of transitory ideas, with the pro- teins of juicy philosophies, with all manner of vitamins—A for artistry and acumen, B for bravery and bold- ness, C for character and courage, D for drollery and devilishness, E for everything that one should not find wanting, and G for goodness and for God who is uppermost. Your feast, then, is finished—Now you are ready for life, my boy,— however long that be!"

The Prophet drew from his gown, a contract of matriculation. Sales re- sistance was low, and it was the psychological moment to strike . . . . That night, both man and youth slept soundly and happily. Gargan- tua had emboundened himself to be concerned with the imbibition of knowledge for a quaternion of years;

the fork-tongued Prophet had satis- fied a pledge of a student quota to his persisting peers. —Sydney O. San- comb.

Pledging Results

like to read in the Fiat. I wonder just what percent of the students really read the Fiat and how many of them just glance through it and throw it in the waste basket? Why \ not make a poll?

In due justice to the various depart- ments in this year's paper. A notable example of such improvement has been shown in the society page, even if at times, it has been slighted because of space. s

Is there any great necessity why the Fiat must come out on Tuesday or could it possibly come out on Wed- nesday a. m., especially if a better paper might thereby be produced.

I know it is easy to kick when we do nothing to help improve our paper, (perhaps we just don't care) and I am one of the culprits!

Sincerely yours, John D. Young

1.

During the first half the Alfred team played an entirely defensive game, doing their best against a strong and elusive Wells outfit. Jean Williams, goal tender for Alfred, played a brilliant and brainy game, always managing to keep the puck out

who had gotten warmed up and were playing an almost inspired game.

Crandall Traces Problems Arising From Economics

Economics as an agent in the cre- ation of international problems was the theme of an address given by Prof. Burton B. Crandall before a recent meeting of the International Relations Club.

According to Alfred's associate professor of economics the major problems of economics between nations were brought about by the condensa- tion of population, the need for an interchange of raw materials and foodstuffs, and lastly, the impera- tive demand for foreign countries as markets for the goods of mass production.

No method of remedying the con- densation of population has been dis- covered as yet, the speaker implied.

Certain climates attract people and allow the birth rate to expand far above the death rate. War has been found to relieve the tension temporar- ily but it is only a matter of time until the same situation exists again, he continued.

SIDE LINE

SLANTS

Alfred's former coach, John Galloway, made the front page the other day when he issued a call to Colgate's basketball men. It will be a curious situation when the Alfred five face their former coaches new charges, this

winter. It may or may not prove something as the case may be.

S—L—S

The 1935 football season iis over—for Alfred. A discouraging season for the Seniors who will graduate this year. And the outlook for the second year under the new Cox regime is not very bright—unless drastic changes are made in Alfred's football policy.

S—L—S

Now we can look forward to the development of a championship basketball quintet. The team should be the best seen in Alfred for a long time.

Being based on last year's successful outfit and captained by Dan Minnick.

It was a great day for the Niagara teams or else they just had it in for Alfred. We hope that they appreciate their victories as the Alfred students and teams taste the bitter defeat which they took from Niagara.

Deans Represent Alfred At Meeting

"There is a definite need to help all to see the challenge to meet the problems in the world today. Re- quirements for entrance and the cir- ricula may be changed to stress the development of the personality of the individual as well as the scholarships," stated Dean Dora K. Degen, Sunday night.

Dean M. Ellis Drake and Dean Dora K. Degen represented Alfred University in a group of 200 deans and advisors at the Conference of the New York Association of Deans, held at the Hotel Roosevelt, New York City, Nov. 8 and 9.

Dr. Hillis Miller, president of Keuka College in his address on the "Prob- lems of Youth in the whole world today," pointed out the results of the depression. "Financial disability to secure higher education, lack of em- ployment, and lack of opportunities to take one's place in society have re- j suited in crime and in injuries to ' personality.

"The solution of these problems ; is of great importance to the future of everyone. The greatest need in education is in personal integrity and the practice of sound wisdom.

"Character is a cat stone in the arch of demands upon youth in the present critical situation. Dr. Miller affirmed his belief in youth's meeting of the problems."

John A. Lang of the United States Bureau of Education spoke on the government's interest in youth forms, as demonstrated by the C.C.C. and N.Y.A. He exprerssed the belief that after the end of our present emerg- ency, a permanent unit on youth af- fairs should continue to aid in solving the problems of youth

Former Alfred Student Returns From China

Miss Elizabeth Champlin, ex-'36, returned to her home in Alfred, Wed- nesday, after spending a year in Hang- chow, China. She plans to resume her college work next semester.

Miss Champlin left from New York last October via the Peter Mae rsk of the Danish line. She went down the Eastern coast throrugh the Panama Canal and across the pacific, stopping at Japan. After spending some weeks in Shanghai, she went to Hangchow, where she spent the rest of the year with relatives^ Mr. and Mrs. Oarl Long. She returned by way of San Francisco.

Professor Place Interview (Continued from page one) night you wouldn't find room in town to hitch your horse."

He turned his chair around. "We had forums, too."

The correspondent, who had been wondering how to spell "parliamentary," sat up straighter. "You did?"

"Sure. Why we had some famous people here. Susan B. Anthony was one of them. I imagine Mrs. Allen had something to do with that. She took a prominent part in agitation for woman suffrage."

"Oh well. How an old man does ramble on." He gazed out across the gymnasium at something I could not see. "Later on some other students and myself who played instruments, got together in my room in the Gothic and there was born the first Alfred Orchestra. We made a success of it—

got up to 20 or 30 members."

"We needed money. Hired the Webber male quartet from Boston to give a concert and ended up $50 in the red. So we put on a musical comedy—and the house was jammed!"

He put his hands in his pockets and sighed expansively. "I can see It now. There was a balcony scene with the hero lowered in a basket Only our hero didn't lower. He pu^f books in the basket, hid in the bushe and jumped in again when the basket reached earth."

Professor Place rose."Guess you've listened to me long enough. Call you up when I feel like talking again.

G'bye."
