Small Freshman Class—Dance and Reception Get Students Acquainted—Changes
in Faculty
Alfred University's 79th year began last Wednesday morning when, at 9 o'clock, the office of Dean Kenyon was opened for registration after chapel exercises at Kenyon Memorial "Hall. The incoming class, owing probably to the war, and its various and far- reaching effects, was smaller than usual, numbering only twenty- nine. The class of 1915 has lost three members, and 1916 has lost several, but the class of 1917 still numbers above fifty, so that the total number of registrations up to the present is 125, about 45 less than last year.
On Wednesday evening a dance was held in Firemens Hall for the purpose of getting the new stu- dents acquainted and starting off the year with a good time. The dance, while not largely attended, was successful in accomplishing its object. Prof, and Mrs. Bole, Prof, and Mrs. Montgomery, Prof.
Bennehoff and Miss Weed acted as chaperones.
Several notable changes have been made in the faculty for this year. Prof. Gambril of the Edu- cation department, has left to take post-graduate work at Col- umbia and is succeeded by Prof.
Ford Clarke, Alfred '10. Prof.
Clarke has taught at Ishpeming, Mich., and Leroy, N. Y.; and dur- ing the past year, has done post- graduate work at the University of Chicago, and is well fitted to assume his responsibilities here.
The vacancy in the English de- partment caused by the resigna- tion of Prof. Little, is to be filled by Miss Porter of Ripley, N. Y.
Miss Porter has a master's degree in Arts from the University of
Chicago, where she pursued post- graduate study after her gradu- ation from Mount Holyoke and comes to us highly recommended from Lake Erie College where, for the past three years, she has oc- cupied the chair of Professor of English. Her ranking here will be that of Associate Professor of English.
Three new instructors, from the class of 1914, have been added to the faculty this year. Ivan Fisk, whose reputation in athletics is a well-known and enviable one, will act as athletic director; G. M. Wil- son, who has acted in the capacity of student instructor in the Edu- cation Department, comes back to us well fitted for his work, both by his experience and by a special summer -course in Pedagogy at Columbia; Morton Mix will con tinue his work in the Modern Language department, having.
taken work at Columbia this sum- mer. His experience in modern language teaching, reinforced by European travel and study, as- sures his success.
Miss Madelia Tuttle of Hornell, who took work in the State School last year, is to be with us this year as instructor in public speaking. Miss Tuttle's reputa- tation as a reader is well known here, and we are glad to welcome her to the faculty.
The annual reception by the Christian Associations of Alfred University for the incoming Fresh- man class, was held at the Brick, Thursday evening. The class of 1918 was given a hearty welcome by about 100 students and mem- bers of the faculty.

WHO IS BEGINNING HIS TWENTIETH YEAR AS PRESIDENT OF ALFRED UNIVERSITY
PROCS GO DOWN Procs were posted this morn- ing, resulting in victory for the Sopliomores. The restrictions of the rules this year made the con- test much more exciting than usual, the Freshmen, in spite of their limited numbers, putting up an extremely plucky fight. The greatest activity centered at the livery stable from the walls of which, despite the determined de- fense, 1918's assault with the aid of pepper handled with great dexterity by the ladies of the class

TOOTBALL 1914
The football situation which loomed up so black to Coach Farr, Thursday afternoon was some- what brightened when sixteen men reported Friday afternoon for practice. Football in Alfred is at a crisis. We must have a winning team or the sport will be discon- tinued. Material is scarce be- cause of the light registration, but with the right spirit from the stu- dent body, a winning team can be developed. A good schedule has been arranged which includes

The reception was held in the reception rooms and large first floor hallway of the Brick. The latter was charmingly decorated with college colors and class pen- nants and flowers. The color scheme was that of the college col- ors, purple and gold, the effect be- ing carried out by the use of golden rod and wild asters for the banking of the stairways. There were many tete-a-tetes and lounges resplendent with sofa pillows placed around so that ample seats were provided for all. In two corners were placed tables from which punch and wafers were served by members of the Y. W.
C. A. throughout the evening.
As each guest arrived, his name was asked at the desk and then written on a gold card on which was printed in purple, " I am"
"Who are you?" The card was then pinned on the person whose name it bore and in this way the formality of personal introduc- tion was done away with. After pasing down the receiving line, he then stood in line himself in this way meeting all those present.
After everyone had met every- body else, the following program was given:
Vocal Solo Prof. Ray W. Wingate Accompanied by Prof. Weed Reading Robert Greene, '16 Vocal Salo Miss Mildred Taber, '17 Reading Prof. Madelia H. Tuttle Address of Welcome

President of Y. W. C. A., Miss Nina E. Palmiter, '16

Pres. Boothe C. Davis College Songs
Miss Mildred Saunders, '15, at the piano
The reception was closed by the giving of the class yells and for the first time the class yell of the class of 1918, "Ever ready, never late, A. U. —one eight" was given.
THE Y. W. C. A. HOUSE PARTY Before beginning their college work, the members of the Y. W. C.
A. cabinet were entertained at a house party. Sunday evening, Mildred Saunders, Ruth Hunt, In a Withey, Eva Williams, Mabel Michler, Nathalie Wanzer, Mil- dred Taber and Nina Palmiter
met at Edith Burdick's home, and, dressed in middies and bloomers, they started up the road to a des- tination unknown to most of them.
They looked much like some strag- glers from a gypsy camp with the '' Alfred Sun'' push cart holding a large basket of dishes, a frying pan, numerous suit cases and bags.
But they were a happy crowd and showed their good spirits by sing- ing songs all the way.
In a short time the destination was reached the Ellis farm house.
It was an ideal place for such a house party, the large white house surrounded on two sides by rows of spruce trees giving a feeling of seclusion. Bed time soon came and by counting "Enee meme, mine, mo," the girls decided who should sleep together.
Monday morning at 9 o'clock, the girls did ample justice to a breakfast of fruit, cereal, bacon and eggs, muffins, coffee. Then, after a mock wedding under the spruce trees, they left for a long hike through the fields and woods.
The girls took many pictures, one of the most amusing being that taken in an open field around a pile of lime bags.
At 2 o'clock they returned to the house, hungry as bears, and the roast beef, potatoes and green corn disappeared as if by magic.
The afternoon was spent in reading under the trees. When the mail came, it brought a letter from the president, Susan Hooker.
In this she told how much sorrow it gave her to resign as president of Alfred's Y. W. C. A. as she can not return to A. U. This fact and the absence of the secretary, Dorothy Wells, were the only things to mar the girls' pleasure.
After a supper of hot biscuit and syrup, the evening was spent in games and singing. Then Ma- bel's package of pancake flour was discovered to be a box of chocolates. Just before bed time the Round Robin Cabinet letter, which had been written by the various members during the sum- mei', was read. This was full of interest for all and told of many plans to make our Y. W. a live factor this coming year. Each girl was filled with enthusiasm to put her best into the work.
The next day a cabinet meeting was held on top of a nearby hill, in which it was decided to elect
a new president Sunday night.
The dinner table that day was crowned by the Y. W. cake, a large layer cake bearing the let- ters Y. W. C. A. The afternoon was spent in reading and just be- fore supper, the girls bade good- bye to their kind hostesses, each one sorry indeed, to think that the time had passed so quickly, but all eager to see the rest of their college friends. No "cabineteer"
will ever forget those happy days in which all became closer friends.
CERAMIC SCHOOL NOTES The school has opened with a registration of 38. The course in Ceramic Engineering is proving attractive to the men, while the applied arts course is sought by both men and women. There are three members of the Senior class and they are already entering up- on the research work which is to result in the graduation thesis.
The equipment is to be increased by the addition of a standard Rat- tler for testing the wearing power of paving brick. On account of the noise and dust attendant upon the testing, this will be installed in the package shed outside the main building. It will be driven by a special motor to which the current will be wired from the main dynamo.
THE NEW COACH Dr. Richard S. Farr of Lodi, N.
Y., our football coach, arrived in town Thursday and at once took charge of the squad. Dr. Farr graduated in the class of 1914 from the College of Medicine, Uni- versity of Arermont. In Vermont he played three years on the Vars- ity, one year at center and two years at left-end. His prep school work was done in Starkey Seminary where he played three years at right-half. Dr. Farr comes highly recommended as a man and as a coach.
ENTERTAINED AT ANGELICA Miss Ina Withey, '16, Miss Jes- samine Fenner, '16, of Almond, Raymond M. Howe, '15, M. H.
Pfaff, '15, Earl L. Burdick, '16, and C. A. Barney ex-'16 of New York were entertained by Msis Elsie Thrall ex-'16, and Miss Susan Hooker ex-'15, at their homes in Angelica over the week- end.

DARTMOUTH HAS BUILDING FOR STUDENT SOCIAL LIFE
What the gymnasium and the stadium are to baseball, track and football, Robinson Hall will be to Dartmouth's non-athletic inter- ests. This splendid building, the gift of "Wallace F. Robinson, of Boston, and now juearing com- pletion, will be at once a frank recognition of the fact that stu- dents may legitimately pay 'at- tention to things other than their studies, and a potent factor in con- centrating the increasing influ- ence now being wielded by col- lege sports. It is not in hostility to athletics that this temple is be- ing erected; it is really in a spirit of helping the other extra-curricu- lar activities to a position of greater importance.
'' Dartmouth's student organiza- tions, with the exception of ath- letics, are in need of adequate quarters where their activities may be properly concentrated and efficiently controlled," said the donor, Mr. Robinson. "As a man of affairs, with a long business experience, I believe that suitably housed and provided with the means for the conduct of their business and for the social inter- course incidental to the activities of young men of similar tastes and abilities, these organzatons would present a strong counterpose to athleticism on one hand and to so- cial cliques on the other. They would thus afford a just balance of intellectual and artistic expres- sion as against bodily prowess and muscular skill.
"In order to insure the con- tinued democracy of the college, I have stipulated that no organi-
zation shall make use of the build- ing except those in which tht qualification for membership is proved ability only."—Exchange EDUCATION IN PHILIPPINES
A feature of the new adminis- tration in the Philippines is the educational program, which is to be greatly enlarged and populra- ized. Vice-Governor Martin, who is also secretary of public instruc- tion, according to advices re- ceived, has determined to devote himself especially to the improve- ment of the health of the school children. Already remarkable re- sults have been attained in this direction. In the Manila schools alone last year out of 24,000 chil- dren examined, 7619 required medical attention, and as a result the more serious forms of skin dis- eases and trachoma are now under control. In one province many children were afflicted with hook- worm. There are already nearly half a million children in the schools, and it is believed that by this attention to their welfare the entire Filipino people will soon be greatly improved physically and mentally.—Exchange.
PINE CREST LODGE The management of Pine Crest Lodge desires to announce that picnic and corn roast parties de- siring to use the camp will be welcome to do so on condition that such parties communicate with the management before-hand, that they leave the camp property undisturbed and do not leave refuse, papers, etc., strewn about.
Pine Crest is not a public resort, but a private camp.

WE'RE OFF!
Fiat Lux extends a hearty greet- ing to old friends and to the new ones of the faculty and of the class of 1918. We hope that this year may be a most successful one, and with this in view, we are asking your cooperation in return for which we shall try to give you the best possible paper.
Our policy, as before, will con- tinue to be conservative, reflect- ing, as far as possible, the senti- ment of the student body, striv- ing to give a fair representation of the work of the various or- ganizations, and whenever pos- sible, offering constructive criti- cism. Contributed articles on questions of interest—college poli- tics, etc.—news items and sug- gestions will always be gratefully received. Remember that it's YOUR paper.
Football prospects should be good. We have material and we have a new coach and a good one.
It's up to the material and the student body; the Doctor will do the rest. We wish him and you all the success in the world.
Cooperation, as Ave've often been reminded, is the key of suc- cess. In view of our small num- bers we need to remember this this year more than ever before.
Once more we seize with trembl- ng fingers our poor old inky in- strument of illegibility to produce i. few moldy ideas for your at- tention. We trust that our ac- ademic readers have lived happily uid successfully through the ingering vacation and have re- turned to school and books with ligher aims than ever. We are glad to see you back. We trust we shall become well enough ac- quainted with the new Freshmen to cause them to take out a sub- scription for the Fiat Lux. It is
i fine paper—otherwise (?) we should not contribute to it. While the Freshman class this year is not quite up to the universal standard, it has an extremely in- telligent and winsome appearance.
We can see one of its green-cap- ped representatives from our win- dow this very moment and it causes us to heave a deep, rib- cracking sigh of retrospective ecollection. How "Tempus"
does "fugit."
Here's an idea—a brilliant one.
Did you know that the publishing and managing of the Junior Kan- akadea is a whale of a proposi- tion? The book is .for the entire chool and our college should back it up more unanimously. Its ex- penses are to a great extent, paid by advertising fees paid by mer- chants and dealers in nearby towns. The next time you make a purchase in Wellsville or Hor- nell, just say to the clerk or the merchant, " I saw your ad in the Kanakadea, our college year book"—and you will be doing something to help the next Junior class. We have seen the Kan- akadea through its long course of construction and we know what it means.
The frosh number only twenty- nine but—you never can tell you know! We're looking to you, 1918, to make up in prep all you may, through unfortunate circum- stances, lack in mere numbers.
If you don't think the war i affecting the U. S. A. take a slani at our registration this year!

Bill Buck, our football captain, is a very fine sort of a chap. He is a pleasant fellow and one you would no doubt like to become setter acquainted with. One good method would be to draw out a football uniform and come down on the field evenings and hear the old boy talk. He had rather a lonesome time of it on the field for awhile, but more men are ap- pearing in armor now. Join the happy throng. If you can't play on the first team, come and scrim- mage against Bill's linemen to help their muscles for the game Friday.

FOOTBALL 1914
Continued from page one
Chamberlain Military Institute, St. Bonaventure,, Iiobart, Mans' field and two games with Thiel College.
A new tackling dummy has been secured by the Athletic Associ- ation and will be in use this week.
This adds materially to the foot- ball equipment.
The old men who are out are Capt. Buck, Howe, Bowman, Grif- fiths, Bliss, King, Perkins, Beltz, Norton, Pitts, Ayars, Sheppard and Pfaff, and among the new men are Crawford, Gaiss, Bass and Brainard. Today a second team will be out and the first scrimmage will be held.
It is up to the student body to get the right spirit, to talk foot- ball, and to think football.
Football is THE college game, why should not Alfred be classed with other colleges of our size?
We rank with them in scholar- ship, why can we not be ranked with them in football?
It has been arranged this year for the team to dress in the locker room.
The first game of the season will be played Friday afternoon, Sept. 25, at 4 o'clock, when the Varsity will meet Chamberlain Military Institute in the first game of the season. Chamberlain has a fast team and a good game is anticipated.
The management hopes to see every student out yelling himself hoarse. Show the team and the Coach that you are behind them and doing your best to help win.
Remember to come out..

LYCEUM COLUMN No meeting of the men's ly- ceums was held last Saturday night. The prospects for the year are not very bright at present, but, with the arranging of schedules and the college calendar, we may hope to see a revival of interest in this waning activity. The calendar is so arranged this year as to eliminate con friction with the ly- ceum hour, and it is to be hoped that as a result, there will be bet- ter attendance and more enthusi- asm than has been manifested for the past two years.
ATHENAEAN
The Athenaean Lyceum opened for its regular work of the year last Saturday evening. Much en- thusiasm and interest was shown and a most successful year is as- sured. The following program was splendidly rendered and re- ceived with much applause:
Devotions Ruth Hunt Music Mildred Saunders Reading Hazel Parker Piano Duet
Rose Trenkle, Nellie Wells Selection Eunice Anderson Piano Solo Nathalie Wanzer
The closing number was an ori- ginal stunt arranged by Edna Jackson, assisted by Edith Bur- dick, Mabel Michler and Hazel Parker.
In the business meeting the offi- cers for the first quarter were elected:
President, Mildred Saunders Vice President, Katryne Vander Veer Secretary, Jessica Davis
Treasurer, Eva Williams Critic, Nellie Wells
Tellers, Hazel Perkins, Eunice An- derson
Next Saturday evening the Athenaeans are planning to enter- tain the Freshmen girls.

Y. M. C. A.
A large audience which was pres- ent at Y. M. C. A. Sunday even- ing was given a treat in an inter- esting talk on the subject, "The Christian Eeligion'' by Prof. Ford S. Clarke. Prof. Clarke's talk was to the point and was enjoyed by all. He told of some of the questions arising from the modern belief that social service is re- religion.
At a business meeting following the program the following men were voted into active member- ship : Barry Bowman, '17 ; Hubert Bliss, '17, Clesson Poole, '18, Clif- ford Potter, '18, and Harry Weaver., '18.
There will be a meeting of the cabinet of the Y. M. C. A. at the Y. M. C. A. room next Saturday night at 7 :T5 o'clock.
