BINGHAMTON TAKES FIRST IN ANNUAL INTERSCHOLASTIC
MEET
Two Records Broken
ROCHESTER AND CASCADILLA CLOSE CONTEN- DERS FOR SECOND
Amid a constant, driving downpour of rain and on a field and, track which made good work almost impossible, the team from Binghamton Central High School won the Sixteenth Annual Field and Track meet held here last Wed- nesday afternoon. Rochester East High and Cascadilla Prep of Ithaca were close contenders for second honors. The rain made the field a veritable sea of mud while the track, by the middle of the afternoon was merely a soggy mass of cinders. In spite of such adverse conditions, two records were broken and one equaled.
• Binghamton gathered in a total of 26 points, helped in no small measure by the good work of Berry who con- tributed as his share, eleven of the 26, thereby capturing the cup given to the individual high scorer. Malley of Cascadilla scored second honors of the day with nine points to his credit while Braisted of Canisteo made six of his team's seven points. Cooley of Nichols and Bowie of Rochester East High, each captured a first and sec- ond place to give tlnem eight counters.
Connolly of Rochester Shop School, clipped one-fifth of a second off the 220 low hurdle record when he stepped across the line in 27 2-5 seconds. The most remarkabe pterformance of the day occurred when thie relay team from Masten Park High of Buffalo lowered the. record in the 1200 yard Tfeiay by running it in 2 minutes, 19 2-5 seconds. Bowie upset all dope when he nosed out Cooley of Nichols in the 220 yard dash and pushed him hard in thie century- One of the prettiest runs of the day was the mile when O'Con- mer of St. Joseph's and Sundahl of Bradford fought neck and neck dur- ing the last 300 yards with O'Conner breasting the tape inches ahead of his opponent.
About th|ree hundred and fifty ath- letes from nearly thirty schools com- peted.

STOCK JUDGING CONTEST Avon Wins First in Class A—
Arkport in Class B
The annual stock judging contest was held last week at the State School of Agriculture in conjunction with the annual Interscholastic Field and Track Meet of the college. The growing in- terest in this event was demonstrated by the largest number of schools en- tered th|is year, eighteen in all.
Three rings of cattle were judged, Holsteins, Ayrshires, and Jerseys. The contestants are divided into two classes, those having a regular high school department of agriculture, Class A, and those without, Class B.
Avon High School won in the Class A group with a team average of 85 5-6, South Dayton second, with 75 1-3, and Wyoming third, with 71 2-3. To How- ard Hanna of Avon went the honor of the highest individual score, 95.
In the Class B division the team from the neighboring town of Arkport, under the efficient coaching of Prin.
Pope, secured first place with an average of 80 while Leonard Law- rence, one of the team got in on the

SPEAKING CONTESTS
TRACKSTERS MAKE READY FOR TILT WITH
ALLEGHENY
Sara Mathews of Haverling and Myron Luke of Binghamton
Win First Prizes in Annual Event
Tuesday evening at the church, the Sixteenth Annual Girl's Speaking Con- test was marked by eight perform- ances wh|ich did credit to every girl who took the platform and to the school each represented. The inter- pretation of "Connor," by Miss Sara Mathews of Haverling High School, Bath, was so realistic that every listener could see this determined Irishman get a job to bring Nora and little Jamesy over, and fight all obstacles, including the loss of his savings, until the time came when the ship, upon which she was to be, steam- ed into the harbor. Then a realiza- tion of some terrible tragedy crept, into the audience hearts. For a mo- ment, like Connor himself, all had felt, elated that Nora and little Jamsey would soon be in his arms, but when Nora didn't appear with- the other passengers, when the captain of the big ship spoke gently to Connor and bade him sit down, people held their breath. The shadow of a calamity was before their eyes, imagination could easily have recognized death, when the story came out, in all the soothing tones the rough captain was capable of, it was one of those mo- ments when people realize reality.
Nora and little Jamsey had died of the fever on hoard ship. The little boy went thinking of his Daddy, and two days later Nora went, thinking of his Daddy too. In less than an hour Con- nor went to join them. "Don't ye see, byes, God is good. He wouldn't let them come over to see me here, so he's going to let me see them there."
There was no question as to the feel- ing of the audience and the three judges, Mrs. M. E. Mix (chairman i.
Dean J. N. . Norwood, and Dr. C. J.
Adamec, that shje was deserving of first place.
Between second and third choices there was little, if any difference Both girls displayed some splendid ability in dramatic interpretation. Miss Marion Stevens of Hornell High School with her selection "Cherry Blossoms," was given the second place, while Miss Margaret Batcheler of North Side H. S., Corning, was the judge's choice for third honor, with "Patches" for her selection.
Five other . contestants deserve praise even though they did not win prizes, for those who took the plat- form made earnest efforts to put across selections worth- while.
In awarding the medals, Pres. Davis remarked that in the past, also, Bath had won many first prizes and he attributed this to the fact that the/ public spirit of Judge Clarence Willis, who has made provision for prize speaking contests at the high school in Bathi, had thus created an interest in this sort of work. He
KLANSMEN HOLD SIX- TEENTH ANNUAL
BANQUET
Invaders Boast Strong Outfit Many Alumni in Attendance
Next Friday, May 23, on the local athletic field, the Purple and Gold will stack up against the fastest out- fit met so far this season, namely, that of Allegheny College.
In past meets, the best team that has been trained by Coach Ferguson has been able to scare up but 39 points against them. As matters now stand, Alfred has the best opportunity to beat Allegheny.
The invaders have so far this sea- son met Carnegie Tech, to whom they lost 64% to 61% and Rochester where they emerged on thre long end of a 71 to 55 score. Allegheny proved super- ior to Carnegie in field events but was beaten in the track events. As it hap- pens, Alfred's long suit is track and this should give the home team the necessary advantage for a triumph.
This meet forecasts the best of the season from the standpoint of keen competition and promises to be one of the most hotly contested affairs which| will take place on the home field.
The last meet of the season is sched- uled with* Rochester University, May 31. This team has lost to Union 62%
to 61 % and also to next Friday's foe.
If the defenders are able to defeat both Allegheny College and Rochester University in these last two battles, they will have estabished a reputation which, heretofore, no team has borne,
—that of going through a complete season with a string of victories and no de-feats scored against them.
PROGRESSING ON HORNELL-ALFRED
ELECTRIC LINE
Indications point to the fact that the long promised installation of an electrical line from Hornell to Alfred is due to become a reality. A survey of the proposed line was made several weeks ago and authorities state that the actual work of laying the line will be begun within thirty days.
Mr. J. P. Morgan of the E. L. Phil- lips Co. of New York City has been given charge of all erection and con- struction work and under his able supervision, rapid progress is certain to result.
The construction of a building for a central switch .board in connection with the heating plant, is already under way and, by the time the wires shall have reached Alfred, will be completed with everything in readi- ness for connecting to the main line.
Under this plan, switches on one central board will operate singly for each university building.
This innovation, together with, the new road to Alfred Station, should prove to extend a desirable effect, both to townspeople and university.
These are merely forerunners of greater things to come.
SUNDAY EVENING MEETING Sunday evening at 7:15 o'clock, May 25th, Mr. Jay I. Evans will speak be- fore the Y. M. C. A., his subject be- ing, "On Salvation."
This meeting will be of strong in- terest to all who are acquainted with Mr. Evans' forceful presentation and absorbing subject matter.
wished other public spirited men would follow the example of Judge Willis in high schools throughout this section.
The boys' speaking contest was on a par with any scholastic contest that has ever been held under an Alfred roof. While the first choice of the judges, Mrs. Ellis, Mrs. Davis, and Dr. Mix, was Mr. Luke for his splendid declamation of "The Unnamed

Thie sixth annual banquet of the Klan Alpine fraternity of Alfred Uni- versity was held at Hotel Sherwood on Saturday night. May 17th. At 5 o'clock the Klansmen left Alfred with their "wives, sweethearts, and pos- sibilities" for Hornell.
Howard Griffith, who was in charge of the banquet arrangements, deserves considerable commendation; for hjis unusually successful management of both banquet and ball. The tables set for two and three couples, were bright>
ened by carnations, and for each lady there was a curious package wrapped mysteriously in tissue paper. There were a number of speculations con- cerning the contents of these packages, and at the end of the dinner the guests were happily surprised to find that the favors were handsome green leather writing cases stamped with the Klan Alpine coat of arms. The dinner itself was delicious. It was made particularly enjoyable by a musi- cal accompaniment from four members
of Merriman's orchestra.
Then came the speeches. Ernest Eaton, the president of the Klan, act-, ing as toastmaster, introduced Prof.
Seidlin, the newest member, as the first speaker of the evening. Prof.
Seidlin spoke on "Interpretation," par- ticularly of the Klan spirit, the fra- ternity spirit, that of "fellowship and brotherhood."
With a witty and "dramatic" story, the toastmaster introduced Prof. Feig as the second speaker. Prof. Feig chose as his topic "Prospections vs.
Retrospections." He maintained that though the Klansmen of yesterday have done much for the Klan, the members of today must forget those
•of the past when they look forward to the deeds that the future demands of them.
Pres. Eaton in closing, read a mes- sage from an old Klan member, the former Dean, "Laws of matter, and motion prevent attendance. Tiny Tim's benediction from Dickens' Christmas Carol." P. E. T.
Then the orchestra tuned up for the first dance, the couples hurried to the ball room eager not to lose a single precious moment of the dance. And there never was such a dance. The decorations were appropriately simple, the floor was not too crowded, and the music was irresistible. During the intermission little Miss Dorothy Dun- ton delighted the guests with two charming dances, the first of which was a wooden doll toe dance, and the second a dance of a diminutive "Fol- lies" girl.
The guests of the evening were:
Prof, and Mrs. Neiswanger and Prof.
and Mrs. Radaschi.
When it was all over, when the happy couples climbed into their pri- vate "taxies," they all pronounced it the best Klan banquet yet—a state- ment which loses none of its truth though it is repeated every year.

"The Redmen's Orders"
I
In thie days of great chief Fergy Leader of the valiant Redmen, Of the tribe of brave old Alfred, Came there roaming bands of nomads, Envious of the great chiefs glory;
Cam& they from across the mountains, From the kingdom of the coal-mines, From the regions of the bluegrass, From the hamlets of the Quakers, From the mighty tribe of Allegheny, Came they in their awful war-paint, To demolish Alma Mater.
[I
First the nations of the westland, Came from out the land of sunsets, Shot their futile flaming arrows, Wherein dwelt the great chief's Red-
*• men,
At the wigwams, 'neath the pine trees, Then the braves of dear old Alfred, Pausing from their peaceful labors, 'Neath the pine trees in the valley, Raised their tomahawks in anger, Raised their voices in a war-cry, Devil-danced across the meadows, Sent their warriors into battle.
Ill
Midst the shadows of the twilight—
Painted all the western heavens, While the heavenly Great Spirit, In a brilliant h,ue of purple, Colors of the Redmen's feathers, There' was fought the bloody battle, 'Twixt the tribe of old King Alfred, And the nomads of the westland.
Then it was Chief Fergy's Redmen, Pausing not for fear or danger, Fighting with their great stone
hatchets,
Brotes the skulls of westland warriors, Broke their spirit, sent them fleeing, Back across the hills and mountains, To their tepees in the forest, Near the hamlets of the Quakers.
IV
Other nations, great in battle, Sent their snake-skins filled with
arrows,
To Old Alfred's quiet valley:
Then said Chief Fergy to his Redmen,
"Do you braves both sock and rock 'em,
Drive them up the stream and farther, Give their chiefs the royal Goose-
Eggs,
Earn some Wampum for old Archie!"
How the noble tribe of Redmen, How the tribe of Alma Mafcer, Smeared the braves of jealous na-
tions—
How they scalped them with their weapons,
Sent them to the land of sunshine, Happy hunting grounds of Redmen, 'Till thare were no more to conquer,
V
Then the braves of Alma Mater, Built a bonfire on the hiill top.
Heaped on brush and logs and boxes, 'Till the flames did meet the heavens, Sending thanks to the Great Spirit, For the victories of thieir warriors, Then in greatfulness for triumph, Said chief Fergy to his Redmen,
"Wear your A's and V necks proudly, Take your squaws to village dances, Feast upon life's sweetest offerings, For your youth is fast departing, Then get you to your private wigwams, Render thanks to the Great Spirit, And pray for future bloody victories, For the tribe of old King Alfred."

"The problem of problems confront- ing young men just leaving college and ready for entrance into the world of affairs is—Whiat shall it be—agri- culture or the trades, a profession or a business, science or art?
"No individual, however wise and informed, can have the exact formula for the guidance of all youth at this critical period. The views presented here are in the hiope that an indi- vidual experience and observation may be'of value to those on the thresh- old of business life.
"One who has the advantages of a college training ought to come to h,is work with a disciplined body, trained mind, generous spirit, and a determin- ation to do something worth while in life.
"Business is continually in need of new blood, to replace those passing out and to supply the increasing de- mand created by growth of population and expansion of activities. In for- mer years the professions were the great aim of college graduates. Parents hjad a sentimental partiality for these callings and thought them the fitting place for their offspring. Students, too, were influenced by this sentiment.
This tendency has brought about an excess of talent in professional oc- cupations. Today the professions are to a degree overcrowded, as a result lOf which business life offers the modern college man excellent oppor- tunities.
"With the professional field well filled and the trades a more or less segregated division, educated men are more and more turning their attention to the many phases of commercial activity. Industry and commerce, banking and merchandising, are their arena. These branches long have beckoned to college men, often in vain.
Those who ventured into business call- ings have found ample outlet for their academic training. Indeed, the fertile field the business world offers to or- ganized minds has been a revelation to many a college-trained man. There is no antagonism between business and the professions as to which, is better.
It is largely a matter of individual aptitude and personal preference.
It does not require much imagina- tion to realize that a business career presents an alluring opportunity for service to one's fellowmen. Mines, factories, transpprtation, banking, whole-sale and retail stores—all these enterprises form a colossal field for the cultivated mind.
"It is almost unnecessary to remind you that modern business has become tremendously varied, intricate and highly organized. The simple type of one-man business tends to merge and coalesce into larger and larger organizations under corporate form.
Study thie organization chart of any large and well organized business, and you will get a picture of the vast activities which are being conducted by it. The day of associating these activities with physical rather than mental qualifications has passed, and now some of the best minds in the

SPEAKING CONTESTS
Continued from page one American," if an audience vote could have been taken, it is likely that the popular opinion would have favored Mr. Welborn Dearlove of Bath, for his sincere expression and masterful presentation of "The Price of the Best." Mr. Dearlove received no prize but he carried away the admiration of many people for his fine work.
The choice of Harold Gibbs of Hor- nell for second place was well re- ceived. Mr. Gibbs in his "Con- querors" had commanding stage pres- ence and wonderful phrasing, smooth- ness and elegance of expression. Hon- ors for third prize was a close de- cision even with the judges, so good were thie rest of the selections. Paul Kreuz was finally given the place in recognition of his sincere original work in "Marshall and the Constitu- tion."

Entered at the Alfred Post Office as second-class matter.
Recently, while improving our minds with a perusal of ancient literature, we ran across a sentence. It was not particularly striking and you have all heard it before. In fact it was "Frailty thy name, is woman," and we immedi- ately threw our hats into the air and shouted "Hurray," with much gusto.
Now we have not, as you might have inferred, lost our girl, been grossly deceived nor has an unrequited love been the cause of thiis philosophical outburst. Rather has a little deliber- ation over a pipe of Buckingham and the vagarities of the female supplied the needed spark. But we must not digress.
Girls, did you ever envy the medi- eval lady, the favorite of the court, the toast of thie soldiery, the inspira- tion of knightly valor? Just the arch- ing of an eye-brow or the flutter of a ruffle and djagons would be slaughter- ed and armies annihilated. Don't say you haven't because we know better.
Who wouldn't enjoy loafing about look- ing pretty, clad in silks and satins with nothing on or in your mind. Thiank Heaven, there were a few who didn't enjoy it all for the style has changed.
The progressive woman of today is a doer, she works, votes and is be- coming a force in national affairs.
She demands an equal rating with man, a single standard of ethics, yet she neglects one thing and so proves to us she is only a woman after all.
For ages woman has been placed on a pedestal by love-smitten swains.
How sweet is that shrine of adulation to woman's heart. How sh& hates to see it slipping through her fingers.
Yet with tlje tendencies of the present female, it surely is.
One can't write love sonnets to a criminal lawyer or cast himself in an abandon of passion at the feet of a member of congress in goggles, stand up collar and puttees. It's incongruous.
We're old fashioned enough to prefer the wife gracing the fireside rather than heading avice crusade or harangu- ing a mob of politicians, but we're not trying to persuade anyone to our be- lief.
Pioneers must make sacrifices. The female of the species to place herself with man in the affairs of the nation and of industry, must sacrifice that place she has always held. She can't become a cog in the wheels of in- dustry and retain the position on the pedestal.
REVISION OF ATHLETIC ASSOCI- ATION RULES PERTAINING
TO GIRLS
Article VI of the Athletic Associ- ation Constitution, was apparently made primarily for men's athletics.
Since the drawing up of the Athletic Association Constitution, girls' ath- letics in Alfred have grown decidedly in importance. Girls have entered basketball, track and tennis with more spirit and harder work—endeavoring to earn the Alfred insignia.
Bach time a decision of granting a letter to a girl was to be made by the athletic council, countless questions—
as to th.e size of the letter, the amount of training the girl had undergone in the particular sport, and many other points would arise, and in each case a letter would be granted or not granted, on the basis of men's qualifications.
There has arisen the need for By- laws of Board governing insignias and honors. In order to make clear to the girl athlete wlnat she may work for, and in, order to give the Athletic Council a basis upon which to grant insignias to girls, the Athletic Council suggests that the Athletic Association consider adding the following, to the present Constitution, as:
Article VII—
Section I. The sports for girls through which an A may be granted, are basketball, track and tennis.
Section II. Every girl who is en- titled to a first team insignia, shall re- ceive a certificate designating the authority for wearing the letter. This certificate shall be signed by the chairman of the athletic committee (faculty), the coach and the president of the athletic council.
Section III. The insignia for girls' sports is the block A's "by 5." There shall be no second team insignia.
Any girl participating in intercol- legiate sports, must play in one-hRlf the playing time each season—there being a schedule of at least three con- tests—to win the insignia, except on the approval of the Athletic Council, after recommendation by the Coach.
Any girl breaking a track record shall receive an insignia.
Any girl who shall win a tennis tournament with at least ten original entries in singles or six entries in doubles, shall receive an insignia.
Any girl participating in an inter- collegiate tennis tournament shall re- ceive an insignia.
Section IV and Section V. The same as in Article VI.
A FEW WORDS IN APPRECIATION OF "FOLK DANCE"
Folk dance is the most beautiful j thing I have seen in Alfred. No stage dance and social dance can be com- pared to it. Ever since the dance ]
| started, the sense of beauty has over-1
! whelmed me and my heart has been fully filled with joy which can be more felt than expressed.
I am of the opinion that art may j be the substitute for religion. By
• means of art our sense of beauty can
j be hiighly cultivated, mind •enlighten- [ ed, and consequently moral standard
elevated. The gracefulness and beauty of folk dance has strengthened my opinion to a further degree.

SUCCESS Continued from page two world are employed in producing, fi- nancing and distributing merchandise.
"The production, distribution and consumption of goods and services compasses the full cycle of life, and the young man who has ambition to succeed need have no difficulty in finding a place in this vast scheme of.
things for any talent he may possess.
New processes, new resources, new territories are waiting for those who can do constructive tilings, who can plan, design and run the machine so as to eliminate waste, cut down costs, utilize by-products and make the work- ers happy and productive. The ele- ment of chance and speculation in business is yielding more and more to scientific organization and planning, and the acquisitive type of personal success is Isss highly regarded than that of achieving—creating—accom- plishing something which will be a real contribution to society and to our fellowmen.
'•'It has taken some time for a realization of the fact that there is a strong affinity between scholarship and business." However, it is now apparent, on the one hand, that mer- cantile pursuits have much to gain frorri cultivated minds, and on the other that a higher education serves as valuable background to a success- ful commercial career. It may seem a far cry from the study of history, literature, science and economics to selling dry goods, for example; but one finds nevertheless, as hie makes progress up the ladder, that the firm foundations supplied by higher educa- tion make progress surer and faster than otherwise would be possible. One who is willing to pay the price—who will start at the bottom and develop hlimself as he learns the business—
will go farther and fare better in the end because of a thorough fundamental training.
"The college man long has been needed in business. We see him now appearing in office and bank, in factory and store. He will be the business man of the future. Business "has its technique no less than have the arts, trades and professions. Its beginners must start far down where they can grasp principles and fundamentals.
To the young man seeking a business career I would say, select an institu- tion of largie size and known integrity.
Apply for a position without regard to its remuneration. If you will sup- ply courage and application, intelli- gence and enthusiasm, the rewards | will come to you, whether you expect them or not. When you have found \ the place where your interest lies— j where you are happy—stick; do not i shift from place to place. Happiness j in work is a precious thing. It makes ] work a fascinating game and, there- j fore, imports the higher qualities to i one's labor. Love for th»e work makes ;
the task easier and the worker in- dustrious.
"Business needs trained minds, high standards and constructive ability. It i needs and richly rewards real leader- ship. It does not care per se whether the young people coming into its em- ploy are rich or poor, college trained or not, but it does ask for and seek(
constantly those who have the grit, the courage, the character, and the ideals of personal, institutional and national success.
"I commend casting your lot with a large and creditable organization, be- cause these organizations continually offer openings for the beginners, and have so many varied lines of activity that promotion to the righit man is not too far ahead. Mercantile institu- tions esteem college men, for big busi- ness has its eye open for intelligence and latent ability. In such institu- tions good positions are not hard to find—they are hard to fill.
"If you who come from college can bring with, you these qualities of heart and mind, and body, you will find many an opportunity in business. Indeed it is an, era .of golden opportunities!.
Every great business organization is constantly on the outlook for the right kind of men. The business of Marshall Field & Company covers;
manufacturing, importing, wholesaling and retailing merchandise from the standard goods of domestic make to the highest products of foreign crea- tion. I can thank, off hand, of more than a dozen positions in our own company that are waiting for good men to fill There are plenty of men for ordinary jobs, but men who can qualify for the higher positions are, if not rare, none too plentiful.
"We welcome college men in our or- ganization, but they have to earn their promotions by their accomplishiments, and not by the possession of .their sheepskins. There is hardly a man in our organization who occupies a re- sponsible position who has not grown up in the business. An absorbing and romantic interest has led each one to give his very best to a business satis- j fying his ambitions and his ideals of service.
"I cannot do more than commend the i same thing to you."
