B. Heltzel’sgraduate thesis at the University on“Chesterfield and the Tradition of theIdeal Gentleman.”According to Dr. Heltzel. Chester¬field said that if a man was virtuous,honorable, a good dancer, a moderatedrinker; if he arose early in the morn¬ing to study, if he avoided hasty friend¬ships and bad company, it he couldhandle a collegiate "line” and if henever gambled he could be a gentle¬man whether he was horn a prince ora pauper. Chesterfield discounted thevalue of birth as a characteristic of anideal gentleman because he called it agift of fortune.World Wisdom EssentialRook learning and knowledge of theworld were held to be highly essenti.fito the equipment of the gentleman, Dr.Heltzel asserts.Adhering to the old Renaissance tra¬dition that every hour of unnecessarysleep made life so much shorter, Ches¬terfield admonished the gentleman toget up eatlv in the morning and usethe time for study. Dancing, he said,was as much an exercise as fencing andshould be practiced for its healthfulstimulation as well as for the ease andgrace of deportment it produced.Decries DrunkennessTn an age when the ale-house wasan integral part of every community,Chesterfield decried drunkenness. Dr.Heltzel shows. The investigator con¬tinues, “In his uncompromising atti¬tude toward drunkenness Chesterfieldhas quite naturally the support of theentire tradition. Among writers pf theRenaissance, excessive drinking is stig¬matized as one of the most degradingvices a gentleman can practice. Fromthe early seventeenth century, how¬ever, there is a growing tendency tosanction the desirability of a glass ortwo for social purposes. By the timeChesterfield began writing, in spite ofsome opposition from those whopreached abstinence, it was a well es¬tablished tradition that in company agentleman might drink in moderation(Continued on page 21 YET ANOTHER COURTCONDEMNS MAN HUNT“The Maroon has never been acredit to the University. * Now it’sa disgrace.” ,Thus another organization haspassed final and damning judg¬ment on The Daily Maroon’ssearch of the quadrangles for ahandsome man. The Romans,society of non-fraternity men, dis¬cussed at their last meeting (a)the immortality of the soul and(b) The Daily Maroon’s notoriousman hunt.After the above statement hadbeen voiced by V. F. Coe, a longdessertation ensued, in which TheDaily Maroon was denounced andderided with a vote on the contestwhich resulted in condemnation ofthe affair by a 68 to 5 vote.A letter carried the message tothe office of The Daily Maroon.The contents of the epistle are tobe found on page 2 of this paper.ALLOT BIDS FORFEBRUARY PROMTicket Assignment Based OnNumber In Fraternity CARR CRASHESINTO LIMELIGHTIN MAN HUNTSCIENTIFIC SOCIETYHONORS PROFESSORSThe oldest scientific society in theworld has elected to membership twoprofessors in the psysiology depart¬ment of the University in recogni¬tion of their important researches.They were Professor Anton J.

Minor OperationPerformed UponDean Yesterday ALL MANUSCRIPTS FORFIRST ANNUAL FANTASYAfter undergoing a slight operationearly yesterday morning, Dean ErnestHatch Wilkins is “resting easily” ac¬cording to reports from Dr. RobertShuldd, assistant to Dr. Herman Kret¬schmer, who has been officially incharge of the case, Dr. James and Mrs.Wilkins."The last time I visited Mr. Wil¬kins he was resting easily,” said Mrs.Wilkins last night. Dr. Robert Shulddwas also optimistic about the Dean’scondition. “He is doing very well,”he said, “and resting very easily.”Dean Ernest Hatch Wilkins hasbeen confined to his bed for over threeweeks due to a complete collapse dueto overwork at the University. Fromthe start, however, his condition, hasnot been regarded as serious by theattending physicians.During the absence of Dean Wil¬kins. Dr. Chatincey S. Bouncher, ofthe faculty, has been filling the va¬cancy as Dean of the colleges of Arts,Literature and the Sciences.

However,we can understand the transforma¬tion of lead into mercury only afterit has been successfully repeated.”This opinion was voiced today byDr. William Draper Harkins of thechemistry department of the Univer¬sity, in reference to the claim of DrsA. Smits and A. Karssen of the-Uni-versity of Amsterdam in which theEuropean scientists declare that theyhave succeeded in transforming leadto mercury.“The methods taken by these menseem to be thorough and carefullyexecuted, but their experiments areopen to question,” declares the chem¬ist. “In the first place they make nomention of investing the helium nuc¬leus with one Alpha particle, or strip¬ping it of two electrons. This wouldhave to be done to transform the leadinto mercury, and chemistry has thusfar been unable to do it”( A1 Widdifield and George Jones, dayeditors on the staff of The Daily Ma¬roon. have been selected to edit “ThePromaroon,” a special issue of thispaper which will be distributed at theWashington Prom. .The edition willcontain a list of those present, picturesof the leaders, and many other specialfeatures.Said Widdifield, one of the editorsof this issue: “We hope to make thisedition unlike most of the Prom pa¬pers of the past, in that it will be a dis¬tinct innovation. We believe the ideais both new and appropriate.”The paper will bear a colonial atmo¬sphere throughout, being made up inthe manner of the Eighteenth century,and being written in old-fashionedEnglish. “We feel,” said Jones, theother editor, “that this will help con¬vey the atmosphere of the Prom to thereader who has previously not attend¬ed it.”The picture section which this issuewill contain will bear_pictures of vari¬ous campus celebrities, the Prom lead¬ers, and other material of campus in¬terest.

Foreign Adv. ManagerJerome Debs Office ManagerFROM ACROSS THE LAKECOACH Fielding H. Yost has written, as one of a series of articlescalled “My Thirty Years in Football,” appearing in The NewYork World, a chapter on “Alonzo Stagg—The Grand Old Man.His view is not over-influenced, as are the views of many critics, bythe accidents of a season or of a college generation; his thirty yearsas Mr. Stagg s colleague give him a clearer sight. His words, there¬fore, must have great weight in an appraisal of Mr. Stagg s worth.We quote parts of his article:I hold that Alonzo Stagg is one of the finest products of Ameri¬can athletic and college life of all time.- I have known The Old Man for many, many years, and havecome to know him well. To know him is to love him, and I yield tonot even Chicago men in my affection for him. Like Walter Camp,he has served football gloriously; additionally, he has contributedenormously to the advanced technique of the game. With HarryWilliams, another old Yale man who Slso took up coaching, he wrotethe first football book I ever read.I consider men like Camp in the East and Stagg in the Westthe real leaders in the development and growth of intercollegiatefootball. Stagg, like Camp, has always been clean and fine and hasrealized how the true purpose of the game co-ordinated with thetrue purpose of the university.MONKEYWRENCHESA PERIOD in an artificial but thoroughly realistic hell must al¬ways precede admission to the hallowed ranks of a fratern¬ity, it seems.A few days ago we were detained at the Maroon office untilabout seven o clock, and one of our number chanced to be a fresh¬man on the point of being initiated into a fraternity. The simpleyouth had been told by his upper-classmen to report at six o’clock,but thinking that work on the Maroon was a legitimate excuse helingered no, being sure that one of the higher-ups in the office hadcalled up his house and explained everything.The hgiher-up did call up the house, and his explanation wasconsidered satisfactory,—that is, until the freshman arrived. Thenthe wrath of those mightier than he descended on him.Now this, we think, was unjust. The period of probation mayhave a point to it, but it should never be allowed to interfere with afreshman’s ordinary work, whether in the classroom or in activities.The fraternity is a useful institution, but in cases such as theseit becomes a hindrance rather than an aid. Fortunately these casesare rather rare. They ought to disappear altogether.THE SECOND POSTTo the Editor:The Daily Maroon Beauty Contest somehow entered into thereligious discussion which was supposed to occupy the Romansat their last meeting. An interchange of views on immortalitywas interrupted by a reference to the Campus Daily’s unpop¬ular affair. After a brief but vehement outburst by variousmembers, a resolution condemning the Maroon was passed,68 to 5. The opinion of the group was voiced by V. F. Coewho asserted “The Maroon has never been a credit to theUniversity. Now it’s a disgrace.”E.

Bakerwas held scoreless by the Hawks.With tlw Gophers scheduled formidweek and Ohio State, last year’sbig ten champs, due to appear on Sat¬urday, the Maroons face a busy and avery important week in the hectic con¬ference cage race. With the seasonwell under way ami with one teamboasting- a clean slate the Maroonshave an even chance of finishingamong the first three in the scramble,providing of course, that they downthe strong Buckeyes.Leaves TonightThe squad will hoard the rattler forMinneapolis tonight and should de¬feat the northerners, who have notbeen faring any too well this season.However, Minnesota Has several goodmen, especially Racey. who are cap¬able of upsetting the dope bucket with¬out warning, and the Maroons may bein for a hot time.Featured by the* close guarding ofthe Chicago five, the Maroons spranganother upset Saturday and defeatedIllinois. While the play was not ofthe best the work of the Chicagoguards, McDonough and Hoerger, was commendable and is deserving of men¬tion. The Illini were able to get veryfew shots under their own basket, andonly three long shots by CaptainHaines, who was sent in with instruc¬tions to shoot them long after it wasevident that they could not pierceNorgren’s defense, allowed them to getany semblance of a scoreEach Sink Five BasketsThe^coring of the teams was prettywell evened up as each sank five fieldsgoals. However the Maroons cagedthe majority of their freethrows whichcrave them the margin of victory.Norgren started Sackett and Zjm-mernian at forwards, McDonough andHoerger at guards and Alyea at center.This combination proved very effec¬tive. although a real scoring man islacking. If a second Spradling or Min¬er could be unearthed somewherearound the Midway, the team wouldbecome a real threat because any ag¬gregation that can hold such teams asPurdue and Illinois to 20 points sure- „ly has something.Illini OverratedThe Ilf ini failed to live up to ad¬vance prediction.

WHAT OF IT?(Continuel from page 3)to his material; usually it was theother way around, so the change israther surprising.“You also said,” continued Mr.Norgren, “that Brooks, the Badgercaptain, is the regular center. Thefact is, that Brooks is one of thosebench captains. He is only used fora few minutes each game, Barnumi doing the .jumping and then going' back to guard. That leaves Behr,i Hothckiss and Andrews as three for¬wards to do the basket popping. Pow-'ers and Nelson are somewhat of re¬gulars, too—just as much as Capt.Brooks. Meanwell’s system is a lotmore flexible than it used to be, and| for that reason it will be a good deal' harder to stop.” came from nobody knows, but it cer¬tainly is there. Norgren attributesit to the fact that his men are in¬dividually clever at guarding. Itmay be so, but they didn’t look it inthose first four games. If that de¬fense keeps going, Norgren is goingto win a lot of ball games, even insuch a year as this, when there areas fine a lot of teams in the Big Tenas in any year, and despite the factthat it is almost a physical impossibil¬ity for the Chicago team to score 1more than twenty points in any game. WIN FIRST PLACE IN ALLBUT TWO EVENTSHaving declared my error and eat¬en humble pie, I wish to go on andcompliment Mr. Norgren on the jobof coaching he has done on this year’sMaroon five.
