PURPLE AND GOLD WINS FIRST DUAL MEET
Defeat Brown and White 96-35
ST. BONA STRONG IN RELAY
Last Friday afternoon, Alfred won decisively from St. Bonaventure in the first dual meet of thie season, defeating the Brown and White by a score of S)6 | to 35.
The unexpected stiff competition particularly in field events, upset
"dope" somewhat since the bearers of the purple a,nd gold had shown up unusually well in this department dur- ing the meek prior to the meet. The tr&uk events, with the exception of the distance runs, were fairly fast and productive of some good results.
Bona's men had the edge on the de- denders in the sprints, but superiority in distance runs easily offset this ad- vantage.
Unusually gratifying was the ex- ceptional showing made by Lahr and Horner in the sprints, Navin, in the quarter mile, Babcock in the high jump and Vaughn in the weight events.
Some of these men are practically new to Alfred's track squad and are to be commended for their good work. Al- though no records were broken, it is probable that "Bill" Navin ran the quarter in less than record time, even though h,e placed second.
The score of the afternoon perform- ance:

2. Vaughan, Alfred. Distance 108 ft. 9 in.
3. D. McConnell, Alfred. Distance 103 ft. 6 in.
The far-famed Bonaventure Relay team won hearty applause from the crowd although Alfred's representa- tatives in that event pushed them very h)ard for the honors.
Brady was the star of Bona's whole track team, winning two first places besides being the anchor man in the Relay team.
The friendly spirit displayed by both teams was a decided contrast to that of former years.
BURDICK HALL MEN HOLD ANNUAL PARTY Sixty Couples Attend Fourth
"Orgy"
Last Thursday evening saw one of the most successful parties of the year when the men of Burdick Hall held their "Fourth Annual Dance Orgy,"
in the old gym. Including invited guests, about sixty couples were in attendance-.
Decorations of a most attractive sort—a canopy of purple and gold streamers, banners of the various fraternities and sororities on the campus and of other colleges and uni- versities, and a keg the "tap" of which tempted many during the evening, em- blematic, to a degree, of that "rough and rjeady spirit" generally attributed to the dormites, the whole effect be- ing admirably accentuated by a sub- dued glow from the orange colored lights — transformed the gym com- pletely and provided an excellent setting for the dance. Fitch Brothers' Orchestra of Olean furnished wonder- ful inspiration for the terpsichorean feats of the dormitory men and their friiendsy
The patrons and patronesses were:
Prof, and Mrs. Joseph Seidlin, M;ss Fosdick, Dr. Adamec and T. J. Ahearn.
The committee, headed by Fred Levierich,*included: H. Clark, hall man- ager; R. Stickney, E. Rockey, R.
Claire, and R. Northrup.

COACH FERGUSON'S RUN- NERS FACING MEET
WITH HAMILTON Leave Friday Morning
Friday morning, the- Alfred track team will leave at eight o'clock for Hamilton College to participate in a dual track meet which will be run off the following day, May 10. The squad Will get a stiff work out this week as Coach Ferguson will only take about 18 men and, only the best will go to Hamilton.
Judging from all "dope" secured up to-date, this meet will go very close and Alfred's chances depend upon the quality of work shown this week. An approximate score will give a final result of 65-61 one way or the other.
It will be a battle every inch of the way.
Hamilton, so far this season, has shown up exceptionally well in the sprints, having one man qualify for the International 220 yard dash at the Penn Relay. Hamilton also looks good in the distances and certain of the field events. Alfred, however, is strong in the hurdles, middle dis- tance and the remaining field events.
A victory over this team would be more than gratifying since this meet will afford a basis on which to figure Alfred's chances against Allegany when these two teams meet on Friday, May 16, at Alfred.
G. A. Bole Defends Small Colleges
DR. MIX'S PLAY READ
That the small college offers a greater opportunity for true friend- ships and more room for personal in- itiative was the keynote of the short speech of greeting given at Assembly by Prof. Bole, Director of the Ceramic Division of the U. S. Bureau of Mines and former Professor of Chemistry at Alfred.
The speaker pointed out that the personal advantages which the stu dents enjoy at Alfred far outweigh most of the advantages found in larger institutions.
After Prof. Bole's speech, Mrs. Mix read a play written by Dr. Mix, who was confined to his home by illness and was unable to deliver his schedul- ed assembly address. The play was a tragedy in one act, entitled, "The Woodpile."
The plot concerns a country lad who had run away from home due to his father's harsh ways. As the play opens he appears as a tramp fifteen years later, at his old home. Neither of his parents recognize him, and both treat him as a stranger.
The boy, now a man, finds that his father is apparently unchanged, and his pride, despite his love for his sor- rowing mother, foraes h|im to leave his old home once more—his identity un- revealed. Based on a simple plot, the play was sympathetically and delicate- ly written. Dr. Mix deservjes credit for his restraint in handling a plot which might easily have lead to maw- kish sentimentality.
Those who are familiar wtih Mrs.
Mix's reading, know her ability and recognize that her portrayal of the characters in this play showed some of her best work. That so many of her audience were stirred by the pathos of the mother's life and hope, was due as much to the reading as to the content of the lives.

PROF. G. A. BOLE COMPLETES INSTRUCTION ON RE-
FRACTORIES
Prof. G. A. Bole of the Bureau of Mines, who has been conducting a short course in refractories in the en- gineering classes of the University, returned to Columbus, Ohio, last Sat- urday. Prof. Bole was the third speaker of this type to supplement the courses in ceramics this year. His work was characteristic of the tech- nical man and the interest and en- thusiasm he aroused during his stay at Alfred should give the students an impetus to finish the remaining year's work.
FITZGERALD'S ORCHESTRA ROYAL ENTERTAINERS
Despite all efforts of the weather to dampen spirits, youthful enthusiasm conquered and the Junior Prom, a long established annual event, took place last Saturday evening at Academy Hall.
The ball room, with its lively crowd, was liberally festooned with banners and purple and gold crene. The in- signia of the seven fraternal organiza- tions were displayed on the walls and in the corners stood miniature pines whose odor bore to the dancers an air of spring. The American flag was given a prominent place above th.e fraternity emblems and college pen- nants, whie elaborate designs in A.
j U.'s colors formed a complete canopy overhead. In out-of-the-way corners and arranged along the picketed rail
! wh'ioh screened the orchestra, count- less baloons of gay hues tugged at their moorings as animated couples swept past them. The lights were veiled by red paper and cast checker work shadows on the dancing floor in an effect that was at the same time attractive and mysterious.
Fitzgerald's orchestra of seven piecs, was at its best, and the gay throng, entirely oblivious to the pass- ing of time, danced on to their entic- ing music interrupted only by a loud report now and then as a balloon became the victim of some reveler's heel and lost its buoyancy.
Nor must the punch bowl be for- gotten. The chatting group which surrounded it between numbers, gave evidence of the merit of its "sparkling contents" and who can tell whether the many witty jests which passed back and forth about its sanctum were inspired by mere jollity or the quality of the beverage?
During intermission, Robert Witter, President of the Athletic Council, brought fortht hearty applause when he awarded the block "A"s to mem- bers of the basketball team, who had earned them.
Following the period of quiet which reigned during intermission, the mer- riment began anew when the musi- j cians struck up a lively air and spirits seemed to rise again in accord with the increasing cadence until the clos-«
ing number marked the climax and with a burst of applause the Junior Prom drew to an end.
TAG DAY
Tomorrow, May 7, has been set aside as a tag day on Which tags will be sold to athletic boosters, the pro- ceeds being used for men's basketball awards.
IF I HAD A MILLION DOL- LARS, WHAT I Y/OULD
DO FOR ALFRED If I really had a million bright green backs tucked safely away between the cotton ribbings of some old sock, or maybe several pairs of new socks because—well I could afford the fin- est silk. "The Black Cat" hosiery people make, (lit might be that my superstitious nature would cry out against putting my wealth any- where near a "Black Cat" brand.
("Onyx" brand sounds cattishj too) the ehiances are I should, like all the rest of wise financiers, smooth my pretty paper portion of this world's wealth between the steel sides of some fire proof, burglar proof box. Then it would be interest proof also, which economists tell me, is all wrong.
However, why should I have.all these obstacles in my way? The question is: If I had a million dollars what would I do for Alfred? If I really had a million the chances are my point of I view might be prejudiced. Now I am j almost glad the cash is lining but the pockets of my imagination, or the steel vaults of my dreams so I can i express my ideals of charitable gen- erosity with an open mind and in- cidently an open pocket book.
I thoughit hard for three long days, j I gazed into the face of the moon and into the thousands of twinkling eyes of heaven for inspiration, but none came, so yesterday I asked three people in town what they would do if they-had a million dollars. Before I asked them this question I assured \ each) one that I was not going to offer them this sum. Considering my un- tipped shoestrings, and the fact that a safety pin was out of my suspenders, perhaps this was not necessary, but I like to be careful and convey no wrong impressions. The first man told me right away if he had a mil- lion (and he repeated the word mil- ion, wh|ich was foolish I thought, be- cause everyone knows what a wealth
of meaning there is in this little word) he would keep it a secret from his children so they would not get an i arrogant purse proud view of life.
Then he would first of all pay off the ! water debt of the town, the idea be- j ing to hjelp the greatest number of;
people. He said that he would give j many scholarships to the University to help needy but worthy students to ' journey along the highway of educa-1 tion, that he woud give support to any good cause regardless of its affi- liation with a particular party or creed.
If th,e principle was right, then it had ' his interest every time. I went away ! impressed by this philosophy of a \ man who knew the meaning of a bigger, broader life.
His words "not what you get out of it but what you put into it, is the meaning of true life," stuck in my mind. I walked slowly along wonder-1 ing of whom I should next ask this i question, when a friend hailed me;
and offered me a ride in his car. Right j away I thought. This man has the fundamental instinct of charity. He | thinks of other people. I'll ask him. i He told me that first and foremost he : should make arrangements to reward , the managers of athletic teams and the president of the Fiat Board with money as an incentive to better work.!
He said the senior year after having i worked in competition fior three years, these men who had proven to be the best through hard, earnest effort, should in their last year as head di- rectors of the team or its publication, receive some stipulation consistent with the time necessary to put on the work, and as a recognition for the past three years of meritable work.
This thought impressed me quite a bit. Certainly I thought managers and editors do a great amount of work and receive none of the glory an ath- lete obtains. He had other ideas to help the University too, fixing up the tennis courts, giving the Professors an increase in salary and more, but
we had reached my destination and time was short with him so I could only thank him for my ride and his ideas.
I met a townsman just outside my door and after we had exchanged the usual weather greetings, I asked him tl<e important question. In a flash he said "I would buy the town a new flag," and he pointed to the dilapi- dated stars and stripes which were try- ing to wave in the calm wind from the nearby flag pole. "Then," said he
"I would provide an electrical plant for our town so we should not have to use Niagara's power; I should give scholarships to the University and in- crease the salaries of Professors."
I entered the door, sat down and thought awhile over what each man had told me. All those were good.
Tihe University and town needed their fulfillment true enough, but I began to think to myself if I do something it must be my own idea, for after all the real value of any gift is that it must express the giver. Then the thought came to me. "You have nothing to express worthj while.
Either you must donate a new gym- nasium or do some of the other things suggested or you can do nothing." I thought how can I make my expres- sion worth while. I don't think money will do it. Yet I may use this milion in such a way as to help me study further, etc. This would be selfishness I concluded not really sure whether it would or would not be. Then came the thought: there are many persons in this world whpse expression is worth while, who really know life. I shall endow a chair- in this University. Its occupant shall be a different person every week.
Sometimes a learned man or woman shall take the chair. Other times an unlettered person shiall have it. Some who come will call a mean little hut, home. Others may call a palatial mansion home. But even as they all

HENRY CAVENDISH
1731-1810
English chemist and physicist, of "whom Biot said, "He was the richest of the learned and the most learned of the rich.
Hislast great achievementwas his famous experiment to de- termine the density of the earth.
In this age of electricity the General Electric Company has blazed the trail of electrical pro- gress. You will find its monogram on the giant generators used by lighting companies;
and even on the lamps and little motors that mean so much in the home. It is a symbol of useful service.
Henry Cavendish, an eccentric millionaire recluse, who devoted his life to research, was the discoverer of the H and the O in H
2O. In fact he first tolcl the Royal Society of the existence of hydrogen.
He found what water was by making it himself, and so became one of the first of the synthetic chemists.
Cavendish concluded that the atmosphere contained elements then unknown. His conclusion has been verified by the dis- covery of argon and other gases.
The Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company have found a use for argon in developing lamps hundreds of times brighter than the gut:.:::-ing candles which lighted Cavendish's laboratory. •

Entered a t the Alfred Post Office as second-class matter.
There prevails a general belief that a rousing mass meeting will send off a football team to victory. No one will deny that there is a certain effect in such a means of expression of the student body nor that this small medi- um through wh,ich Alfred supporters may show their appreciation, should ever be omitted.
Why not dig up this old custom dur- ing track season? There is too much of a tendency to ignore all efforts of the squad to equip themselves with the necessary training for a success- ful invasion or for a home meet. And yet,, we enjoy the notoriety which their efforts bring to A. TJ. and in- cidentally to each one of us; we like to boast of their prowess and exhibit with pride their past records and achievements. Is it too much to ask that a mass meeting be held on j the eve of a trip? Admitting that the spirit of the men is fine and that there is no cause for complaint there, by means of a lively rally we can show them that we appreciate their spirit and that we are back of them rather than to sit calmly by and wait complacently for news of victory or defeat. In case of the former, we are umisually exhilirated for a day or so and then lapse back into the old
"it's up to you" attitude or in case of a loss the matter is scarcely mention- ed. Students, if only to satisfy their individual consciences and add to their peace of mind, should seize any opportunity to at least show their good will for tlnese fellows who so unselfishly give their time and. energy to the building up of Alfred's athletics.
They give all they can for you. Play fair with them.
he either continues his business be- cause he can do nothing else, or is broken down by idleness and sumptu- ous living and dies of apoplexy at an early age, a shining example of a failure, who has received nothing from life.
Tlje unsuccessful chaser either gives up or becomes a machine giving his bodily strength, his freedom in a use- less effort for what he thinks is suc- cess.
We are not advocating as you might have inferred, a return to nature, dancing about on the meadows' green and plucking a dinner from a water- melon vine or a gooseberry bush, but rather a realization that success is not measured by a bank roll. One must of course work and we can't all be opera singers or eluampion prize fighters. Find your field and follow it, but remember that health is as much a constituent of success as weajlth. Happiness vis as important as either. Marry wisely or not at all.
Get over the old-fashioned idea that somewhere, some one is waiting just for me. You're only kidding yourself.
Marriage is as much a business propo- sition as paying the bills Saturday night.
If your "crush" is a shingled, baby- faced damsel, with a "come-on" look in her eyes or nothing in her head, whose sole accomplishiment is "throw- ing a mean party," you don't want her. Think the question over serious- ly. How will she look twenty years from now with the shingle grown out, with that palm-olive complexion faded, when she doesn't dance quite so smoothly and when that Pine Hill party is a pleasant memory.
Start your Mfe seriously, but don't forget to smile once in awhile. Wealth is a burden that remains behind at the end of the race. You won't need it then. Enjoy yourself.

As the end of each year draws near there begins to dcraw upon a certain group, the Seniors, the realization that they are soon to be depending upon themselves for a living. They must rely on their own ability to meet their obligation to humanity and civiliza- tion. What their attitude toward that civilization and what their object in life will be, is yet to be determined.
Ninety of a hundred, will join the ranks of that class of people which the European contemptuously refers to as
•'dollar-chasers." Nine of the remain- ing ten will, because of his "chasing"
inability, give up the struggle and be- come a nonentity.
The fate of the dollar-chaser from an aesthetic standpoint, is pathetic.
If he is successful hie becomes the rich man, aged prematurely by his efforts, his ability to play is forgotten,

EXCHANGES
Since the opening of this school year, we have enrolled on our ex- change list a large number of Uni- versity, college and h|igh school publi- cations, most of them published week- ly, some monthly and in a few cases daily. Many of the high school papers come from your own home towns and the college1 issues from institutions near your homes and in which you*
may be interested.
These papers are kept on file and occasionally clippings from them are printed in the Fiat Lux. However, they might serve a much better pur- pose could we but know to whom to give them. The following is a list of our regular exchanges. Look it over and, if you see any town or city repre- sented in which you have an interest, apply to the exchange editor, Charles Horner and he will be glad to furnish you with the available copies.

ALFRED NEEDS NEW GYM
More and more athletics are be- coming necessary to the prestige of a school. Whether or not they should, is a question in which we are not con- cernedw It is enough to know that such is the case.
To thoroughly train, athletes, a properly.equipped, gymnasium is neces-
sary. Alfred has not such an institu- tion. Our school is growing, every year our registration increases, every year our teams, especially football, play larger and larger schools, acquit- ting themselves in such a manner as to bring favorably to the eyes of the world—Alfred.
All this without the properly equip- ped Gym. Alfred must keep abreast of the times in every way. Athletics are • improving, but the facilities are not. In order that our teams can con- tinue to compete against teams of colleges in our class, we must have a place in whiich our teams can be train- ed, not only in good weather but dur- ing the winter months also.
Alfred,, as the leading collge of Al- legany county, should have a better Gym in order th|at such contests be- tween high schools could be held in such a place without over-crowding.
Students are attracted to a college which ha^ facilities for athletics. The over-crowded gym on the occasion of a recent basketball game between two highi school teams of this county, was certainly no advertisement of the right kind for Alfred.
To get a Gym, however, requires work and above all, co-operation of the trustees, the alumni, the faculty and the students of the college. It is not too big a task. ^
