PROGRAM GIVEN
A fitting observance of Founders' Day furnished the program for Thurs- day's assembly. A procession of the faculty and members of the Senior class, in cap and gown, opened the program, followed toy a prayer by Chaplain McLeod. President Davis then gave a brief sketch of the work of the founders' of the "University and their successors, after which he intro- duced the main speaker, Dean Wil- liam E. Weld, Ph. D., L. L. D., of the College of Arts and Science, Univer- sity of Rochester.
Dean Weld, a man •widely-known and widely-versed in the field of edu- cation chose as his subject, "Educa- tion and the Good Life". The speak- er in his opening remarks denned the supreite test of the value of educa- tion as being that contribution which education makes to good life. "Good j Life," he described as Utopia, civiliza- tion or culture, and toward this goal education has three major principles to guide. These principles, Dean Weld explained, are embodied in the following facts. First, the value of a group is more important than the value of an individual; second, long time planning is more important than short changes, and finally intangibles are moils significant in the "good life" than tangibles. From this he explained that our map of the world is incomplete without an Utopia, the land of the "good life" and that no' Utopian builder is equal to Christ.
"As we learn part of our plan for a "good life," it becomes easier and C'ricr to feujld ' " : ! ' " plsjtta T&£ ""•
t.ion not planning for good life in the future is dead," said Dean Weld, in concluding his reasons for the need of this type civilization.
Turning then to the specifications for "good life," he enumerated the fol- lowing rules. First, a law of maxima, that is every citizen living in such a way as to use his full power of self realization. Too many people do not know how to live the full life.
It is not to be interpreted as meaning doing something every minute, but seeking to do new things, for other than the mercenary gain therefrom.
Second, there must be a law of indi- vidual difference, with no demand for conformity. The speaker emphasized that especially among students at col- lege does one find this conformity and explained to have a culture or a civilization thei'e must be a loss of this with corresponding increase in individual difference. Next, there must be a co-operation. Our hope of freedom must lie in a restraint en- forced by collective action, and here must intelligence be employed, for intelligence is the ability to harmonize dissimilar characteristics. Lastly, we must have a harnessing of science to suit man. Here the speaker stated we must have open-mindedness of such a type that will reconcile the truth irrespective of any opinions or judgments formerly held. We must consider the importance1 of religion especially since with an advance in the knowledge of science comes a decrease in the depths of one's religious feel- ings. Science today is a very humble ground and most scientists accept the belief that there is a God, powerful and personal. Science, he stated, for the most part does not prevent a man's being a Christian, but makes him a better one, bringing him to a higher and brighter view of God and religion.
In concluding, Dean Weld urged that Tiis listeners not forget that a faith that believes in the possibility of a
"Good Life" is the formost requisite of such an Utopia,, and that they not overlook the fact that this Utopia has a negative interpretation meaning
"nowhere," as well as the positive one, " the good life".

LETTER OF REGARD REC'D BY PRES. DAVIS

Alfred University, Alfred, N. Y.
Dear Dr. Davis-!:
I was very nfuch pleased to receive the letter yo^ kindly sent sometime ago reviewing a number of the recent developments at Alfred. I am glad to be counted among the friends of the University, and rejoice with you in the growth that is taking place.
Although one of the oldest colleges in the state it seems to me that there is a spirit of youth about the campus, and new life budding out in almost every phase of the activities and in- terests one finds there. Surely there must be a source of all this new life, and, if I may so express it, I would like to pay a tribute of admiration to Alfred's President, who with other men, young in spirit, whom he has brought to the campus, is making the old campus new with life and vigor.
I am sure that all of Alfred's friends rejoice in the new buildings which
"will add so much to the usefulness of the University's physical plant. We also are glad to see its athletic teams making such good account of them- selves, and are thrilled at the way in which the student body responds to high idealism and to the excellent leadership of Chaplain McLeod and the cordial reception given to Assem- bly speakers who come to them.
We have every assurance to be- lieve that when the 100-year anniver- sary rolls around Alfred will be found coming across the finish line just in the same way her cross-country teams consistently do, well in the lead.
With every good wish, (Signed) Ray Sweetman.

(o regular days for college work. And since Friday, December 18th and Mon- day, January 4th, would both make up Monday and Friday class work, Friday, December 18th, was designated to run on a Tuesday class schedule. Also, the second semester will start on February 8th, instead of the 10th, as advertised in the cata- logue.
WALDO A. TITSWORTH, Secretary to the Faculty.
Many tried veterans of past years are back this year and form a nucleus from which a strong team promises to develop. The only weakness in the squad is the unlimited class left vacant by Lockwood's decision to wrestle in the 175 lb. weight.
The Purple and Gold will go into action Thursday afternoon, December 17th, against Haverling High School of Bath, in a practice meet to try the ability of the new aspirants to the Saxon squad. There are many new men out this year, and this meet will reveal any dark horses that are on the squad. Bracing the k n o w n talent with this new material should give the Saxons many falls in the coming meets.

RULES FOR RUSH
WEEK ANNOUNCED
A regular meeting of the Men's In- terfraternity Council was held at the Delta Sigma Phi House, Tuesday eve- ning, December 1, 1931. Several very important rulings were made at that time and are as follows:
The order of the rush parties shall be:
1.
2,
3.
4.
hard working, team playing men.
Forty eager yearlings answered Coach McLane's call for the Frosh basketball squad. Among this galaxy of aspiring basketeers are many form- er high school stars, whose modes of play are various and deeply imbedded.
The first few weeks of Frosh practice will consist mainly of combining and molding these various methods of pia.v into the general system u»rii by the Saxon quintets.
The first year men are fighting hard to show off their wares, for the squad is going to be cut to twenty men next week. Coach McLane plans to concentrate intensive train- ing of the remaining men for a pro- -j posed game with Friendship High
| School, prior to the Christmas vaca- tion.
Coach Lobaugh, who gave valuable aid to the Frosh football team, will relieve Coach McLane of the strain of coaching both basketball and wrest- ling. Lobaugh will take over the larger part of the coaching of Frosh basketball, while Coach McLane will concentrate on the wrestling squad.
Thus, both these teams will have ample coaching to insure them a highly successful season.
Kappa Psi Upsilon—Dec. 7th Delta Sigma Phi—Dec. 8th Klan Alpine—Dec. 9th Theta Kappa Nu—Dec. 10th Rush parties will begin no earlier than 6:30 P. M., and shall last no later than 12:00, midnight. There shall be three council officers pres- ent at twelve o'clock to check up on this agreement.
BIO SOCIETY INITIATES
The Alfred Biological Society held a meeting last Wednesday night at the Steinheim for the purpose of initi- ating Professor H. O. Burdick as an honorary member of the organization.
As a part of the evening's program, Professor Burdick gave a short lec- ture concerning humor and fun in During rush week there shall be no | teaching Biology.

Now that the intensity of rushing will soon be over the at- tention which will be given to the rushing rules will be inclined to dwindle on the excuse that it isn't necessary this year to change any rules. To the contrary, if there is to be any change in the rules it should be made this year so that due time and consideration may be given to the ideas involved. There have been several changes promised for next year, but they are still far from being the ideal rushing system, perhaps further than the present regu- lations.
The Council seems to be spending its time burnishing the details and bring out the minor intricacies of an antiquated system of pledging men. It might as well try to put free-wheeling on a 1910 Ford. It don't seem to be cognizant of the fact that there can never be a satisfactory system of rushing here, nor any other type of inter-fraternity relationship so long as the present an- tagnostic spirit prevails. It is the foolish idea of one group des- pising another as a group while the individuals of each have no such feeling that is their own.
I am told that the present state of affairs is much better than that which has existed here. We are not living in the past, we are living in the present and will live in the future, there is no logical reason for stopping at a condition that is slightly better than we have had, while there is so much vet to be done.

The light at the organ, the only one that is turned on in the church, casts I a soft, reflective glow, a perfect atmo-
! sphere for the music. The effect is to inspire in everyone a contemplative j mood, perhaps one of sheer enjoy-
| ment in the music, or one of quiet thought moved by a certain melody..
It is not an audience that applauds, j and cheers, and volubly praises, nor i does it attend from any sense of obli- I gation or duty. It is rather one that I enters quietly, remains sincerely ab- sorbed and drawn by the beauty of j the music, and then leaves as quietly.
The only appreciation they manifest is the fact that they attend regularly.
This weekly half-hour is a welcome interlude in campus life. It is a rest- ful pause in the midst of studies, dat- ing, and sometimes boredom or rest- lesness.

CAMELS are KEPT Fresh!
JLOU probably know that heat is used i i n
the treatment of all cigarette tobaccos.
But you know too that excessive heat can destroy freshness and fragrance.
That's why there could be no truly fresh cigarette except for scientifically developed methods of applying heat.
Reynolds is proud of having discovered and perfected methods for getting the
benefits of heat treatments and still avoid- ing ever parching or toasting.
With every assurance we tell you, Camels are truly fresh. They're made fresh — not parched or toasted —and then they're kept fresh in the Camel Humidor Pack.
If you wish to know why the swing to Camels is nationwide and steadily growing
— switch to them for just one day — then leave them, if you can.
