PI ALPHA HOLDS FISST ANNUAL BANQUET

March 29, 1924, was the date of the first annual banquet and dance of the Pi Alpha Pi Sorority. At 6:15 P.

M. couples in gay attire began to stroll down to Firemens Hall from the Sorority House. At the psycho- logical moment, the sun cleared the clouds away and all promised a most pleasant evening.

The dining room was daintily arrang- ed and the mellow candle lighit gave a delightful touch to the whole. The Sorority was glad to welcome Miss Fredora Moore to the banquet as a guest from Theta Theta Chi Sorority.

We were happy too, to have Miss Marion Fosdick and Miss Elsie Binns, our honorary members, and Miss Glady Bleiman our chaperon, with us at our first banquet.

At 8 P. M. Miss Lillian Borden, the president, gave a few appropriate welcome remarks and the girls and their guests adjourned to the hall to dance, (all were keyed up to the occasion.)

Firemens Hall was transformed in- to a lovely summer garden. Red rambler roses seemed to twine in and out of the lattice work of the arbors.

The hall was made cozy by avches and roses, roses, roses everywhere;

of course, numerous divans, rustic benches and chairs added to the at- mosphere and afforded diversion. Mali Jongg had its place in one of the arches and punch reigned supreme for a few minutes.

But just as soon as the mellifluous strains of the music of Preston White's Orchestra floated through the summer night, couples emerged from the summer houses and soon the garden was filled with merry people,

dancing, whirling, lingering and laugh- ing.

Much credit is due the Pi Alpha girls for "putting across" such a lovely party in their first year. It was a dainty affair and portrays much life and ability "between the crusts."

The Freshman basketball team sprung a surprise last Monday night wh|en the Sophomores went down to I defeat in the second gome of the defeat in the second game of the underclass series to the tune of 26-20.

Due to their decisive win over the Frosh in the first game, the Sophs were decided favorites but the Year- lings were too determined, and the second year men were unable to cope with the flashy offense of their younger opponents.

Nichols was the main cog in the Frosh machine, cavorting around the court in fine style, caging seven goals from the field. Babcock, with the ten points to his credit, was the mainstay of the Sophs, who semed unable to get going. The Frosh procured their six point lead in the first half, while the last frame was a nip and tuck affair, each team getting ten points.

ASSEMBLY ADDRESS Dr. A. E. Main

The main feature on the Assembly program last Wednesday was an address by Dr. A. E. Main. His topic was "The Relation of Home, Church, and School to Civilization, Citizen- ship, and Society of Men and Na- tions."

Dr. Main first defined the subjects of his talk. The family, he said, was an organization of husband, wife, and children, founded on love, a physical i and spiritual union of comradeship, for the purpose of continuing the race and increasing happiness. The church is an organization of people who be- lieve in the Brotherhood of Jesus!

Christ. Its object is to advance the I rule of God among men and nations, j A school is an organization of teachers j and students. Its purpose is to ex-j tend knowledge so good character and ! right conduct may result. Civilization is that level of citizenship, culture and refinement, of comfortable wealth and political internal life and relations.

The definition of citizenship is elu- sive. He has the right to life, liberty j and the pursuit of happiness. We may | accept Lincoln's words, of the people, by the people and for the people in i application to citizenship rights. We | appoint men and women to protect:

us in these rights and the use of prop-' erty. We turn the regulation of com- mon affairs over to the police. All these people are the government. The

Displaying a sensational comeback in last ten minutes of play, the Sophs defeated the Frosh in the third and deciding game of the underclass series last Wednesday night. The Freshmen started at a great clip and seemed certain to duplicate their feat of the second games. The Sophs presented a very "stale" combination which bare- ly managed to escape a severe drub- bing by a last minute spurt.

The Sophs supporters almost gave up the ghost when Babcock went out on four personals, but led by Lyons and Young, the even classmen ran away from the Frosh in quick fashion. The game ended 27 to 18. Young and Lyons showed up best for the Sophs while Fenner looked good for the Frosh.

Continued on page four

The nineteenth volume of the Kan- akadea, the handiwork of the class of '25, was formally introduced to the Juniors and their guests, at the annual Kanakadea banquet, held at the Hotel Sherwood, Hornell, on Thursday evening, March 27.

Students and faculty ts the number of three score and ten, made the journey from Alfred to be present at the dedication of the College Year Book, two full buss loads leaving from in front of the post office at a quarter after five and arriving at the scene of tine festivities at 6 o'clock.

It was a happy, carefree throng that gathered in the spacious dining hall, which was splendidly decorated with a variegated display of cut flowers, and the Purple and Gold of old A. U.

The neatly covered Kanakadeas de- posed on the white cloth, waiting for the final word of the Toastmaster before being opened and eagerly scanned by the impatient Alfredians, who were not allowed to satiate their curiosity as to the dedicatees until the presentation speeches had been made.

At the conclusion of the delectable feast, which was sumptuous and tasty | enough to satisfy the most exacting of the disciples of Epicurius. Toastmaster Ellis Drake, editor-in-Chief of the Kan- akadea, after a few well turned phrases, called upon Miss Ruth Whit- ford, president of the Juniors. Miss Whitford responded, giving a short outline of the history of the class during its three years at Alfred. The president expressed further the spirit of the occasion, as she eloquently re- viewed the achievements of her class, which are perpetuated within the covers of the annual, there to be pre- served for future years to help keep green the memory of the busy, happy days at A. IT.

The next speaker introduced was I Josepjtii B. Laura, president of the Juniors of the Agricultural School and Ag photographer, who gave credit for the success of the "quarter century book" to the College and Ag staffs, who had given unstintedly of their time and energy to produce one of the best year books turned out at Al- fred. He went on to voice deep appreciation for the spirit of co-operation which the college has been showing to- ward the Agricultural School, and expressed the hope that as the years went by the College and Ag School would continue to work hand in hand for the furtherance of their mutual ideal, a bigger, better and more glori- ous Alfred.

The dedicatee of the Ag School was Miss Susan Langworthy Ph. B., li- brarian and instructor in English. Miss Langworthy, in a few well chosen words thanked the class for the honor conferred, and wished continued success to the Juniors throughout the rest I of their caretr at Alfred, and in the]

pursuit of their life work when they have matriculated from their Alma Mater.

Considerable speculation was now rife in the minds of those present as to who was the dedicatee of the Col- lege, and after Toastmaster Dyake had expressed his thanks to the two classes and staffs for their co-operation and fine spirit in making this year's book a success, he went on to state that it had been dedicated to one who had promoted the wel- fare of Alfred and had put forth his best efforts unselfishly and unrestrain- edly for the promotion of high ideals and policies at Alfred University, namely, Dr. Russel S. Ferguson, more

popularly known as "Doc," head .of the biology department, and coach of track.

Apparently taken completely by surprise, "Doc" thanked the students briefly for their appreciation of his efforts, and gave a short talk on

"Real Service" which, said he, consisted in helping one another to the best of our abilities, in making others happy, and in so doing securing real happiness for ourselves, "Doc" further- more said that he hoped the individu*

als present would live to enjoy the day when they would be as happy as he was on this occasion.

A rousing thunder of applause greet- ed the conclusion of this speech and soon afterward the signal was given by the Toastmastor and the books were formally opened by the guests.

Then came an unprecedented demand for the autographs of both dedicatees, and the subsequent exchange of sigi natures would have brought joy to the heart of any manufacturer of fountain pen ink, if said gentleman had been present.

After these pleasant exchanges the scene of activity was transferred to the ball room where dancing was en- joyed to the music of Preston White's Orchestra, until a quarter past eleven.

Thus ended the Kanakadea Banquet of the Junior clas of 1925, an event which will linger long in the minds of those who attended as being one of the happiest in their college life, and of which they will ever be reminded in years to come when they glance over the pages of the Kanakadea on winter evenings in front of a cozy fire.

N.Y.S.A.

The Ag editor extends his thanks to those who have co-operated in the work of gathering and writing th,e Ag School news during the past school year, and trusts that those undertak- ing this duty next year will obtain as much enjoymejnt and instruction out of it as it has been his good for- tune to secure.

While it is true that the state ap- j propriation has been materially re-:

duced, necessitating the consolidation of several departments, there is no doubt but that an increase in Agricul- i tural prosperity, which cannot long be ; delayed, will result in a greatly aug- i mented registration in the future, and will find old N. Y, S. A. a bigger, j busier, brighter institution than ever j before.

ALLEGANY COLLEGE TRYOUTS

Before this issue of the Fiat is placed in the hands of its readers the cass of '24 will have joined the ranks of the N. Y. S. A. alumni.

Now th,at the worry and anxiety of

"finals" is over and we have each re- ceived the precious document which announces to the world that we have completed the prescribed course of study at Ag School, it is perhaps only natural that we should indulge in reminiscenses of our school life at Al- fred, reviewing in our minds eye the results we have accomplished in scholarship and athletics, in the friends we have made, and the broader outlook on life which we have acquired.

It is impossible, however, to card j index or catalogue the things which are most precious to us which we have absorbed, those intangible bene- fits which came to those who have been privileged to spend a part ef their lives at Alfred, things not of the j body or mind, but rather of t h e soul. I The writer hopes he will not be I accused of being a sentimentalist, in]

fact, he has rather definite ambitions j of becoming a hard headed farmer, but such is the impression uppermost in his mind in the closing days of has sojourn at Alfred.

It was reassuring indeed to have Director Champlin set at rest the ex- aggerated rumors which have been circulating in regard to thje school as he did in the final assembly on Friday.

Exceptionally Good Time Made by the Men of the Squad

1 In a recent indoor meet held at Al- legany College, a very good showing by all candidates was made. Judging i from the results the Alfred team will I have to "do their stuff" when they meet Allegany May 23.

The time trials read:

440 Yard dash—Rea, Bliss, Nelson—

time 56.5 seconds.

One half-mile—Rea, Bliss, Reymer—

time 2:04. | Mile—Mclntosh, Bliss, Reyner—' time 4 min. 54 sec.

The comet came back

The great comet that was seen by William of Normandy returned to our skies in 1910 on its eleventh visit since the Conquest Astronomers knew when it would appear, and the exact spot in the sky where it would first be visible.

Edmund Halley's mathematical calcula- tion of the great orbit of this 76-year vis- itor—his scientific proof that comets are part of our solar system—was a brilliant application of the then unpublished Prin- cipia of his friend Sir Isaac Newton.

The laws of motion that Newton and Halley proved to govern the movements of a comet are used by scientists in the Research Laboratories of the General Elec- tric Company to determine the orbit of electrons in vacuum tubes.

Entered at the Alfred Post Office as second-clnss matter.

On all sides and on all occasions we ,hear plfms for attracting students from high schools to college. College men and women are, or at least should be, ever on the alert to encourage younger fellows and girls to take ad- vantage of the opportunities offered by institutions of higher education.

There is too often a tendency, either because of their proximity or because of some other unknown reason, to overlook the graduates of high schools in the same town. Perhaps, this is due to the fact that there prevails a general understanding that these students will enroll in college as a matter of course upon the completion of their academic work. Certainly, in;

our case, it is not because the type of material turned out by the high school is in any way inferior to others or that these young men and women are not considered desirable.

It is too wften true, however, that!

these young people do not receive the amount of attention that might be given them. Because they happen to live in the same town is no reason why we should seek elsewhere while the local source is so little depleted.

On very few occasions do Alfred High School students come into close con- tact with those registered in college.

Te&ms of men go out to nearby towns lor the purpose of organizing Hi-Y clubs and otherwise instilling the college spirit into the minds of boys and girls. Why not give some of our attention to our friends at home? To be sure, various college men have spent no little time and energy in Boy Scout work and athletics among high school fellows but the movement is by no means as general as it might profitably be.

These young people appreciate any little attentions from older college friends. Can you remember when you looked forward to your entrance to college with a feeling of awe, as if it were t h e one big thing in your life? ThJink back to your high school days and consider how highly you would have held such a comradeship as might exist among college students and youthful neighbors. In many cases the latter follow your slightest movements and judge right and wrong by whiat you do or what you have done.

There should be a means of over- coming this difficulty, if such it is.

What better work could the members of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. seek than to perfect some plan by which these two groups, now widely sep- arated, could be brought together, say once a week, for a general "get ac- quainted" party?

TRACK SQUAD SHOWING GOOD FORM

Coach Ferguson was well pleased with the results that the track squad displayed in last Friday's time trials.

However the only drawback at pres- • ent ttoat "Doc" has experienced is, the lack of men—some of which he expected to give a remarkable perform-' ance.

The showing of Ogden and Harnes in the sprints, Chamberlain, Olmstead,!

Bowles and Rocky in the weight events; Lahr and G-rover in the mid- j die distance and Herrick, Vey and

Murphy in t h e distance runs was very pleasing to Coach Ferguson.

The fact that there are only twelve days before vacation and five after in which to be fully prepared to meet St. Bona the second of May, behooves j every track "hopeful" to put forth his best interests to aid the squad. There will 'be a handicap meet run next Fri- day, April 4.

The season's schedule has now been fully completed and will read as fol- lows:

Friday, April 4—Handicap Meet.

(All entries must be in before Wed- nesday night)

Friday, April 11—Interclass meet (all events).

Friday, April 25—Frosh-Soph meet.

Saturday, April 26—Penn Relays.

Friday, May 2—St. Bona a t Alfred.

Saturday, May 10—Hamilton at Clin- ton

Friday, May 16—Handicap Meet.

Friday, May 23—Allegany a t Alfred Saturday, May 31—Univ. of Roches- ter at Rochester

June 10—Olimpic Cross Country Tryouts at New York City.

This week Friday there will be a handicap meet run in which the following handicaps have been alloted:

The following events will be run off also: broad jump, pole vault, high and low hurdles, 200 and 600 yard dashes.

As was mentioned above, the entries and handicaps allotted are not complete pending the entries of the other members of the squad. Any member wishing to enter should see Doctor Ferguson before Wednesday night.

The squad is coming along very well and are determined to make a good showing. These men have been at!

work for about two weeks: Capt. Mc- Connell, D. McConnell, Olmstead, j Chamberlain, Ford, Lahr, Evans, Bowles, Rocky, Vaughn, Gibbs, Groves, Lyons, Ogden, Horner, Alsworth, Northrup, Guiglia, Scholtz, Witter, Na- vin, Smith, Travis, Herrick, Vey, Murphy, McGraw, Fulmer, Spier, A.

Peterson, Foti, Leboner, Pitcher, Claire and several others. In spite of this seemingly long list Doc would be greatly pleased if some others of ability would show up. These it might be said, would include: Kelley, Buck, Hamilton, R. Witter, Whipple, Young, Daly and Slosser.

Thie new equipment wil be here either Monday or Tuesday and there will be shoes and togs enough for every man.

T H E T A GAMMA

With the closing term of the Agri- cultural School th,e mtmbers feel deeply the breaking away from Alfred University. The many eventful hap- penings during their school carleerj and the fraternal spirit engendered

with the other fraternitnes has made these organizations among the best in Alfred, broadening the students' mind, helping him to understand his fel- low neighbor and aiding him to solve the real problems which come to every j individual. The sound principles of education acquired at Alfred Univer- sity and the philosophy of a froternal life should provide the foundations for upholding the best principles.

To the fraternities and sororities at Alfred University we extend our thanks for their kind co-operation during our school life and wish them continued success.

burn has lost .his voice'.

We have lately unearthed a new star for Coach Ferguson in the form of brother Chamberlain. His lame hip from football is the probable cause for the change to track.

One evening a dark complexioned gentleman came to the house for a hand-out. The brothers were rather suspicious of this character but soon found out that it was only brother Johnson wh,o had. ben trying to fix up the new car which still needs re- pairs.

There is a great facination in the sugar bushes about this time of the year. Just ask Doug.

ASSEMBLY ADDRESS Continued from page one The heaven above shows the handi-!

work of some force, or universal cos- mite spirit, which we call God.

The General Electric Company make a machine, ten of which would illumin- ate a highway around the world. This is but one example of the progress of science.

If human energies could catch up with mechanical engineers, the prob- lem of the church would be much simplified. The work of Instruction should begin with boys and girls.

They should be taught to think, speak and act in terms of companionship and citizenship, in terms of natural life. In other words, they should be taught the way to a greater maturity,

that evil doings break into the har- mony of the universe.

These things come under law. That most sublime of woods is difficult to define. Many laws are not worth a cent. We should study conditions to bring about best results. Men and women are sent to Albany not to make laws but to talk over the principles.

The human world, it is sad to say, is divided. Some have a philosophy of life of action determined by spiritual and religious forces. The best results would be secured if material wealth . was regulated by spiritual forces. Others say that right is on the side of might, others that it is on the side of the humble. One school exalts self, others service.

Let us welcome this yet unfinished task and follow the beckoning and throw ourself into the battle for right- eousness with metal that does not flinch. To be living is sublime!

DR. PETTY TO SPEAK IN ASSEMBLY

Students and townspeople will receive a special treat Wednesday morning when Dr. A. Ray Petty, a speaker of wide repute and a social worker well known in missionary circles, de- livers the weekly address.

Himself a college man, and closely connected with various kinds of Y.

M. C. A. work, he should command more than usual interest among the students.

In addition to the assembly address, Hr. Petty will speak at the Ag School Commencement exercises Tuesday, at the. banquet Tuesday evening and again at the father and son banquet to be given by the Boy Scouts Wed- nesday evening.

Statistics on college graduates who have entered life insurance place it at the very top as a source of income. Before making a decision as to your career it would be well to make inquiries of the "Agency Department."
