The artists represented arePicasso, Gris, Braque, and Leger.The exhibition will be open daily in¬cluding Sunday, from 2 to 5.An illustrated lecture, “Prom ThisSide o>f Cubism,’’ by James J. Sween¬ey of New York, will be given in theOriental Institute January 12 at 3:30,under thte sponsorship of the society.Two new reels of the Physical Sci¬ence motion picture series, “SoundWaves” and “The Principles ofAcoustics,” will have their first pub¬lic showing in Chicago at Interna¬tional house January 22 at 8:45, alsounder the auspices of the RenaissanceSociety. The films were made underthe supervision of Harvey B. Lemon,professor of Physics, and Hermann I.Schlesinger, professor of Chemistry,with an introductory explanation byChauncey S. Boucher, Dean of theCollege.Members of the Renaissance So¬ciety are invited to a dinner beforethe shelving of the films, at Interna¬tional House January 22 at 8:45, alsoMrs. Chauncey Boucher, Mr. andMrs. Harvey B.

'-Academic analyses carried on asaids to government procedure are notpolluted with party politics, accord¬ing to John H. Cover, Universityprofessor of statistics, who has spentmost of the past six months super¬vising a study of retail commodityprice.s at the capitol. “The process ofgive and take impresses one with itssincerity,” he commented yesterdayin his offices in Haskell hall. “Veryfew members of advisory boards haveaxes to grind and thinking is interms of problems rather than per¬sonnel.”“The period of ridicule of the uni¬versity professor who has been call¬ed to the capitol for advice is rapid¬ly nearing a close,” he continued.“This is in large part due to the factthat technicians have been called inwho are interested in the problemand who plan to return to their nor¬mal responsibilities in the future.”Mr. Cover’s work consisted largelyof promulgating a plan for retailprice reporting and analysis. Purpos¬ed to^provide, for the first time inhistory, a basis for an adequate esti¬mate of the cost of living throughoutthe United States by means of localanalyses, his plan was determined ona careful study of 305 representativecommunities.In addition to the plan of retailreporting, Mr. Cover planned anddirected a price survey in Washing¬ton used to determine the relativestandard of living of federal em¬ployees in the latter half of 1933 ascompared with the first half of 1928. According to the Dean of Stu¬dents’ office. Alpha Delta Phihas promised a report which isto be received this morning. PhiKappa Psi and Zeta Beta Tauwill have their reports in onSaturday morning. Freshmenwho wish to ascertain the statusof any fraternity may call theDean of Students’ office un¬til Saturday noon. Informationthereafter may be received atReynolds club.Professor Lovett toSpeak Saturday onFascists MovementsRobert M. Lovett, professor ofEnglish, will be one of the guestspeakers at the initial meeting ofthe League of Professional GroupsAgainst Fascism to be held Saturdaynoon in the Harvey restaurant in theStraus building.Professor Lovett’s address will dealwith the origin and development ofFascism in this country. Fasesm, ac¬cording to the speaker, arises psychol¬ogically from a feeling of restlessnessand the resultant demand for action.The post-war generation exemplifiesthis theory.Although there are many Fascistactivities in this country, Fascismwill never take the form of a nationalgovernment in the United States asit did in Italy whose capital, Rome,was in a geographical position to betaken by force, according to Profes¬sor 'Lovett. Seven fraternities have beenplaced on probation because of theirfailure to submit their financial re¬ports for last Autumn quarter, ac¬cording to a statement issued yes¬terday through the office df theDean of Students. Several of thesefraternities have submitted incom¬plete reports or reports in improperform, and will be reinstated whenthey are corrected. The other fra¬ternities will be taken off probationas soon as their audits are submittedand approved.The following fraternities failedto send in proper financial reportsbefore the deadline last Wednesday:Alpha Delta Phi, Delta Upsilon, PhiBeta Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, SigmaNu, Tau Kappa Epsilon, and ZetaBeta Tau. In the case of Phi KappaPsi, the report was .sent in withinthe proper time limit, but not inthe proper balance sheet form.This is the first time in the historyof the fraternities that the Univer¬sity has deemed it necessary to makeppblic such a list. In the past, fra¬ternities were privately notified whentheir financial reports were overdue.The present drastic action makes itcertain that no violations of therules will be tolerated.Being placed on probation entails(Continued on page 4)Hold Premiereof “First Mrs.Fraser’’ TonightOver six hundred people are ex¬pected to attend tonight’s opening ofthe Chicago Players’ “The First Mrs.Fraser” at 8:35 at the InternationalHouse theater.

Tick¬ets, priced at 50 and 75 cents may beobtained at International House.Beside Madame Rosa Raisa andMadame Rosa Olitzka of the ChicagoGrand Opera company, Miss MaryAgnes Doyle of the Goodman theaterand celebrities associated with theTheater Guild staff in Chicago willattend the premiere.St. John Ervine’s play will be thefirst production of a modern workpresented this season by the ChicagoPlays. Clarence Pirez is the direc¬tor of a cast which includes Mrs.Luella Canterbury, Shenstone Don¬nelly, Kaye Gusler, Arnold Robert¬son, Rose Dunn, and Sherman Marks.Nathan Krevitsky designed the setsand Judith Schoenberg is in chargeof properties.The only group to use the Inter¬national House theater for generalpresentation, the Chicago Playershave the advantage of the cycloramawhich few theaters in the MiddleWest possess. Lighting and stagingfacilities are of the best.aLKEY WILL DISCUSS“PERSONAL EQUA-nON”“That Neglected Personal Equa¬tion” is the subject of the addressto be given by Dean Charles W.Gilkey, dean of the University cha¬pel, Sunday at 11 in the Universitychapel. Both the subject and thetext, which is “Men cheapened byprosperity have not become enobledthrough adversity,” have been tak¬en from an article, entitled “On Ban¬ishing Nonsense,” in the AmericanReview.The Chapel Council will meet forthe first time this quarter at thehome of Dean and Mrs. Gilkey Sun¬day at 7:30. Dean Gilkey will speakto the group. Schools Come andGo But We KeepRight on Merging Reaffirms Thesis atTrustee, FacultyMeeting“Doc Harper wants to have us wed.He wants our sheckels, so ’tis said.A brazen statue one mile highWe’ll build to Doctor Harper’s mem-or-eye.”This little doggerel was not writ¬ten by a Northwestern Universitypoet, as might be expected, but wasreprinted in the Daily Northwesternfrom the Lake Forest College Bul¬letin for January.So you can see, Northwestern isnot this University’s first and onlylove. Once upon a time, way backin the 1890’s, when William RaineyHarper was the proud father of thisyoung institution, he, as ^all enter¬prising and anxious fathers will do,attempted to merge his ’teen agedaughter to the swanky Lake ForestCollege.But after much discussion, thisproposal was finally abandoned, be¬cause, at that time, the Lake Foreststudents were strongly opposed tothe idea. Herbert McC!oomb Moore,now president of Lake Forest, thena freshman, expressed the generalsentiment when he recalled the wordsof the fonmerly popular campussong.So the rejected Rockefeller heir¬ess, continued on her own way, un¬til today it is being considered asthe bride of the equally famousEvanston university. But Lake For¬est, at last realizing its sad mistake,views the situation with a feeling ofregret, and we imagine, envy.WEBSTER APPOINTEDTO DISTRIBUTE BIDSFOR CHARITY DANCEJack Webster, chairman of theFreshman Council, has assumed re¬sponsibility for distribution of bidsto the Skull and Crescent charitydance in the freshman class accord¬ing to an announcement yesterdayby Richard Zacharias, in charge ofticket sales.The dance is now being backed bythe Student Settlement B'oard, andthe sophomore class as well as by thefreshmen. The party will be givenon the evening of January 26 in IdaNoyes hall to the tunes of ErskineTate’s 11 piece orchestra.Bids are now available from mem¬bers of Skull and Crescent and theSettlement Board at $1.75. The 24members of the sophomore societyhave already pledged themeslves tobuy bids and attend en masse in or¬der to make certain the largest pos¬sible profit for the University Settle¬ment. To further the same end,there will be no complementary tick¬ets issued.The dance will be the last all Uni¬versity event before" the commence¬ment of open rushing.Calvert Club HoldsDinner, Meeting atInternational HouseUnder the auspices of the down¬town branch, a joint dinner-meetingof the Calvert Club, Catholic stu¬dent organization, will be held to¬night at 6:30 at InternationalHouse. Mortimer Adler, professor ofthe Philosophy of Law, will be guestspeaker at the open session. He willdiscuss “Theology and the OtherSciences.”Dinner, for which there is a chargeof one dollar, will be served at 6:30and will be followed by the meetingwhich is scheduled to begin one hourlater. Tickets for the meeting, towhich all students are invited, arepriced at 16 cents. They may be ob¬tained from Jean O’Hagan, who issecretary of the campus group, orEugene Patrick, president. The af¬fair is an annual one, although thisis the first time that it has been giv¬en under joint sponsorship. By JOHN P. BARDENPresident Robert Maynard Hutch¬ins, in an address last night beforetrustees and faculty at the Shorelandhotel, reaffirmed his thesis that theobject of a university is to empha¬size, develop, and protect the intel¬lectual powers of mankind.President Harold H. Swift of theBoard of Trustees presided at thedinner. Mr. Frank McNair represent¬ed the Board of Trustees at thespeakers’ table, and C. Judson Her¬rick, professor of Neurology, depart¬ment of Anatomy, spoke for the fac¬ulty.After President Hutchins had out¬lined University administrative pol¬icies which, he demonstrated, havepromoted unity, liberty, and clarity,he touched briefly upon advantagesof meiiger with Lewis Institute andNorthwestern as a means to bettereducation. Though he expressed abelief that the University is becom¬ing clearer about the means, it is notyet clear about the ends of education.Said the President: “I have at¬tempted to show that.... scientificresearch cannot consist of the accum¬ulation of data alone; that the anti¬intellectual account of science givenby scientists has produced unfortun¬ate effects on the work of other dis¬ciplines which wished to be scientif¬ic ; and that our anti-intellectualscheme of education, resulting inpart from this anti-intellectual ac¬count, was misconceived and incap¬able of accomplishing the objects setfor it by its sponsors.”“But,” asserted the president, “Iam concerned only with the logic ofscience, not with the psychology ofscientists.”Admitting that physics, for ex¬ample, is an excellent empirical sci¬ence, President Hutchins pointed outthat its modem excellency is derivedfrom its intellectual heritage, result¬ing from the stated ideas of Newton,Galileo, and others.Protesting that many modern sci¬entists overlook this heritage, thePresident said, “You may deny thatnatural scientists even think or talkas though science were the accumu¬lation of data. For answer I referyou to what they teach. .. .they of¬fend as much or more than the restof us in filling their students full offacts, in putting them through count-loss little measurements, in multiply¬ing their courses, in insisting thatthey must have more of the student’stime so that they can give him moreinformation. . . . ”Quoting again: “Contrast theamount of informatioln which the(Continued on page 4)MOVIES PORTRAYHISTORICAL MT.EVEREST FLIGHTIn Air Commander Fellowes’ ownwords, “The aerial conquest of Mt.Everest was no simple job of fly¬ing.” The British naval officer, lead¬er of the Houston-Mt.

Underthe new plan we had a thoroughly superficial re¬view of the sciences in their most modern aspect.In the humanities we found what one or two mod¬ern men think about the cultural history of man¬kind. Would you say that it was an intellectualexperience?Socrates: Indeed, it seems that memory wasthe sole quality of intellect you needed. Did theynot provide you with a means of discovering anddiscussing ideas?Exercon: Oh, yes. Occasionally one or twoof our texts presented an idea, but we receivedthe impression that it was an unimportant fact.How could they teach ideas, Socrates?Socrates: My dear Exercon, one does notteach ideas. Ideas are discovered. After discoverythey are discussed. Tell me, Exercon, did youever read any books?Exercon: Certainly. I have read Herodotus,Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Lucretius, Descartes, Vol¬taire, Rousseau, Marx, and Darwin. And that’snot allSocrates: Splendid! Tell me what idea Platoand Aristotle had about justice. |Exercon: Oh, no, I could not do that. 1 readonly ten pages of Plato and fifteen of Aristotle.Socrates: Very well. What ideas did you getfrom that bit of reading?Exercon: Well, I do not quite remember.Socrates: What, then do you know aboutPlato and Aristotle?Exercon: Now, that’s easy. Plato set up anideal republic, and Aristotle was at once the curseand blessing of all modern thought, which is in¬finitely superior to that of Aristotle.Socrates: I can see, dear Exercon, that youhave read your texts.Exercon: No, I did not read them all the waythrough—only parts of them.Socrates: Have you read a single book in itsentirety since you have been in the University?Exercon: Not one. 1 have been too busyreading parts of them. But, Socrates, what havethese questions to do with discovering ideas?Socrates: Quite right, my dear Exercon, Iwas just coming to that. Ideas are best discoveredthrough experience. The next best way is to readabout them in the books of men who originatedthe ideas.Exercon: To what kind of ideas do you refer,Socrates? Socrates: If you wished to know the plan ofa building, Exercon, would you consult the brick¬layer or the architect?Exercon: Why, the architect, most assuredly,Socrates.Socrates: Very well, then. If you wish toknow the plan of man’s knowledge, consult themen who saw the plan, reasoned the principles,and related the ideas—not the men who are doingthe modern constructing. Many of them do notknow what they are constructing or what they arebuilding. They are bricklayers.Exercon: But your prescription would requiremore reading than anyone could do in ten years.Socrates: Not at all. The fundamental ideas,principle and propositions, which have definedthe sciences and given them a purpose, whichhave directed the course of the European intel¬lect, are contained in less than one hundred books.Exercon: What are these books, Socrates?Socrates: They would include many of worksin which you have read ten pages and are some¬times called the classics. TTie Plato, Aristotle, Lu¬cretius, St. Augustine, Acquinas, Machiavelli,Thomas Moore, Galileo, Descartes, Locke, New¬ton, Adam Smith, Malthus, Darwin, Marx, andFreud are famous contributors to man’s intellec¬tual knowledge, and they stand ready to con¬tribute to your intellectual growth also, Exercon.Exercon: Though 1 have been through thenew plan, I am feeling more ignorant with everyword you say, Socrates.—J.

Lettersto theEditor\ The Travelling Ba zaariBY CHARLES (“Scribleru*”) TYROLER f/.V REPLYDear Mr. Adler,I have never read “Diagrammatics”, nor have Iever implied or stated familiarity with its con¬tents.On the day I included the doggerel in the col¬umn, there was a mis-print. The last two linesof the “poem” which should have read:“The book’s a messI must confess.”were printed as a sentence. This made it appearas though I were commenting, in a disparagingfashion, on your work. But, strangely enough;those two lines were part of the doggerel writtenby one of your own students.But don’t feel badly about it he thinksyou’re a swell guy, a swell teacher and a swelldiagrammatician.Faithfully,Charles Tyroler.* ♦ ♦YALE: CLASS OF ’88And for this story, we are indebted to NelsFuqua, Pat Kelly and A. A. Stagg, Sr., althoughwe don’t even know the latter two!It all happened back in the days when an Al¬pha Delt, Pat Kelly, was Captain of the footballteam and the Old Man was taking his chargesto play his Alma Mater, Yale. The game over,the Old Man started back to Chicago, but thendecided to stop off at Washington, D. C. and visithis classmate and brother in Psi Upsilon, HenryL. Stimson, Yale ’88 and then Secretary of Stateunder Hoover.So the Old Man stopped off at Washington andcalled up Stimson. A meeting was arranged andat the appointed hour, Stagg walked into Stim-son’s office followed by the entire football squad.The usual formalities over, the Old Man becamefraternal and placed his arm on Stimson’s should¬er. With a slight quiver in his voice he startedout: “Boys, ‘Stimmy’ is a fine boy Stimmyhas always been a fine boy and he’s alwaysbeen a pure boy, too in fact, boys, ‘Stimmy’ isas pure to-day as he was back at Yale.”• • •JUST FOR THE FUN OF ITJudith Schoenberg tells us that the ChicagoPlayers, who are presenting St. John Ervine’s“First Mrs. Fraser” tonight at the InternationalHouse, are a social group. They have a five roomapartment over on Kenwood (the address is 6050Kenwood, in case you’re interested) and whenNate Krevitsky and Arnold Robertson, who oc¬cupy the apartment, feel sociable, the group gath¬ers there and^as a good old fashioned party.Now take the other night for instance. Afterthey got through rehearsing, they went down tosixty-third and had a couple. Then back to thefive room apartment where Krevitsky and Judithread Noel Coward’s “Private Lives” until five inthe morning just for the fun of it. Knowing,as we do, Nate’s aptitude for hitchy-koo dancingand Noel Coward’s risque wit, we’re inclined tothink it must have been quite a party Oldfashioned?.. . .waaal. .. .dunno.• ♦ •HYMAN AND MORGEN STERNWe passed the circle at noon today. We noticedthat there wasn’t the usual hom-tooting. Wocouldn’t account for it.So we went back to the house and read SidneyHyman’s “What of It?” in the Maroon. Then wecould account for the pervasive silence. Thetitle of Sid’s column reminds us of George Mor-genstern’s column of the same name in the Ma¬roon of several years ago. And George is now MAROON IN ERRORLost at the printers was the edi¬torial comment attached to the let-er yesterday which excused PresidentHutchins from all responsibility forhis acts or statements on the strictlyempirical grounds that his fatherwas 28’/^ years old in 1899 when thePresident was born.The comment indicated more insorrow than in anger that Mr. Bal¬lard’s real address was Dunning, Ill.,state home for the insane, but heprobably entertained a grudgeagainst Syracuse, Ind. as well asPresident Hutchins; so he designatedthat town as his address.We then asserted that if this iswhat empirical science will do to aman, let’s abolish empiricjil science, jWe concluded that, upon acceptance |of Mr. Ballard’s theory and the evi-1dence of Mr. Ballard’s letter, we iwould tentatively and optimistically jestimate the age of Mr. Ballard’s jfather at 14 when his son was born, j—ed. * * *Dear Travelling Bazaar:I enjoyed the doggerel. May I icorrect you, however, in a point of Ibibliography? “Diagrammatics” is!not a book written by me and illus- ,trated by Mrs. Hutchins; it consists jof two introductory essajTs in aesthet- jics, one by Mrs. Hutchins and one by ,myself. Mrs. Hutchins’s drawingsand my proses provide exemplifica¬tions for the analysis. The drawingsare not illustrations any more thanor differently from the way in which *the proses are. I say this only be¬cause I suspect from references Ihave seen to “Diagrammatics” in theMaroon and elsewhere that “Dia¬grammatics” elicits comments from |people in inverse proportion to their iknowledge of its contents. You willagree that it is unfortunate thatthere is so little correlation betweenthe ability to read and write.Sincerely yours,Mortimer J. Adler.The Travelling Bazaar admits he ididn’t read Diagrammatics. But you,Mr. .Adler, admit that, though hedoesn’t read, he can write. Ourfriend the T. B. will admit he canwrite too. But we admit nothing \about the Travelling B'azaar. It’s his ineck and none of our own.—ed.* * *Editor, Daily Maroon,Dear Mr. Barden: !I have noticed letters to the editorprinted in your paper. Would youcare to print this one?I am taking exception to the ,write-up given my Fraternity, Lamb¬da Chi Alpha, in the January 10thissue of The Daily Maroon. As editor iof that paper you are responsible forthe printed matter therein. There-;fore, I am addressing you, rather,than Mr. Morrison, whom I do not iknow.Even to the impartial reader that ’write-up was, first, lacking in goodtaste, and second, was essentially in¬correct in regard to status. In this iseason, with fraternities about toembark upon rushing, I cannot con- ;ceive of anyone writing an article ;tending to create an impression |which will place a fraternity in an |unfavorable light. Your write-up is jas damaging as some of the others j have been flattering. I quote fromthe article: “There are two fratern¬ities to be written up today, and thefirst of these is Lambda Chi Alpha,chiefly because of an alphabetical as¬cendancy, and for no other reason.”Just what is your reason for printinga fraternity write-up? If you are de¬sirous of giving prospective fratern¬ity men facts, you can do this with¬out resorting to language, which ifspoken in a company of young men,would lead to trouble.As regards the position of Lamb¬da Chi Alpha in the Fraternal World,I assure you that you will soon be inreceipt of a letter from our CentralOffice, which will clear up the notionof youthful over-expansion you thinkis indicated.I quote further, “The initiation feeis $30, includng all the slop.” Mr.Barden, I don’t know what is meantby “slop,” but I want you to knowthat the obligations placed on me,and the benefits derived from myFraternity, are very dear to me, as Ihope yours are to you.Your editorial of that day wasaimed at the Chicago Tribune. Eventhe Chicago Tribune would not dareto use comparable opprobrious mis¬leading, and slanderous words.Surely an apologj' should be forth¬coming, preferably printed in Mt.'Morrison’s column and without being |flavored with what you, in a tele-1phone conversation, referred to as'the “style” of that gentleman.Now, Mr. Barden, prove to me thatyou are more than a frisky youngjournalistic puppy which your edi¬torial effusions, if I ddn’t personallyknow you, would lead one to believe.Sincerely yours,Carl C. Gabel. |We search, Mr. Gabel, for the | truth, which often hurts.

Thej Disciples, Independents, and Optim¬ists (A) emerged victors.I As in the case of the first fra¬ternity games Wednesday night, last! night’s meets w’ere not exceptionallywell played. It is hardly possible thatthe independents missed quite asmany shots as the fraternity men did,but ball handling and team workcontinued to be weak.Best GamesWhile the Optimists’ (A’s) defeatof the Ramblers, 36 to 8 was not themost exciting game of the evening,it did appear to be the best playedgame, especially in so far as thewinners wf le concerned. The Ram¬blers drew' first blood on Freeman’sbasket before the game was a min¬ute old. Their lead was short lived,however, it being speedily i*ubbedout on field shots sunk by Fischerand Davidson in rapid succession.The Optimists continued to pullaway until at the half they led, 18to 4. Scoring in the second half wasa duplicate of the first part, eachteam just doubling its score to makethe final count 36 to 8. Davidson ranup a total of 17 points, and T. Jef¬frey, 12 for the winners. Freemanmade all of the Rambler’s tallies onfour baskets.Tightest GameIn the most closely contested tiltof the evening the Independentsnosed out the Barbarians, 15 to 13.In the fir.st half the Barbarians wentinto the lead and maintained theirposition throughout the period, al¬though Independents stayed up with¬in a few points all of the while. Atthe intermission, the score stood, 8to 5.In the second* meet, with aboutfive mintutes to play, the Independ¬ents tied the count at 9 all. The Bar¬barians went ahead on Lang’s shot,but they were immediately passedwhen Kleinman and Niemand foundthe hoop in succession. Then Chilltied it up again with a long, over-the-head shot. The game was settledwhen Kestin dropped one in withonly seconds remaining to play.WhitewaihThe first whitewash of the yearwas applied to the Gamma Alphateam when they went down before Even w'ith the strong Illinois teamas their first conference opponentsof the season, the Maroon wrestlersstand about an even chance in themeet tomorrow night in Bartlettgymnasium. The Chicago team hasfairly good prospects in five of theeight weight classes.The squad is not as strong asCoach, S. K. Vorres had hoped afterthe development of his men last year,because he has lost several membersof his promising team. However,some of the men of last year areback and will compete in the meet.Capt. Marvin Bargeman, who haswon his letter, will wrestle in the156-pound division. Tom Barton,who also was on the squad last year,will meet Fredericks in the 118-pound division. Fredericks won theNational A. A. U. title last year. MaxBernstein, winner of his letter lastyear as a grappler in the 118-poundcla.ss, is now in the 126-pound class,and will meet Adams, an able Illinientrant.Among the new varsity men, Nor¬man Howard, sophomore and brotherof Bion Howard, la.st year’s captain,is one of the best prospects of Vorres’team. He will compete in the 135-pound class. Robert Kracke, anothersophomore, grapples in the 145-pounddivision.Ed Bedrava, an experienced man,is placed in the 165-pound class andRay Weimerskirch will be the heavy¬weight, with George Factor in the175-pound division.

With three weeks of practice aheadbefore the regular season opens herewith Wi.sconsin on February 3, thewater polo team, led by CaptainFrank Nahser, is beginning to takeshape. Although this year’s aggrega¬tion is not composed of men withas much ability as the teams of pastyears, they are a hard-working andenergetic group and are expected tohave a successful season. The addi¬tion of Ray Macdonald, a promisingsophomore, to the squad of six vet¬erans, Captain Nahser, Joe Stolar,George Nicoll, Don Bellstrom, LeoSilverstein, and Phil Stein, will helpto strengthen the squad.Hopes for the swimming teamwere lowered when A1 Helland andRalph Earlandson, former swimmingcaptains were unable to register thisquarter. However, John Roberts,whose eligibility for comeptition hasbeen doubtful, will be available toassure Maroon tankmen of points inthe fancy-diving events.the Disciples, 28 to 0. It seemed asthough some one had stolen the hoopoff the Gamma Alpha’s backboard.They just couldn’t find it.The ring was there for the Dis¬ciples all right though, especially forW. MacDiarwid, vvho registered sixtimes, and for Wyght, who made fourgoals. Anxious to show that they haveprofited from their first two confer¬ence games, the sophomore Marooncagers will take the floor tomorrownight in the fieldhouse against a fav¬ored Illinois team.Coach Norgren’s men will have toplay a better brand of basketballthan they have if they are to givethe Illini a close battle. The Chicagosquad looked fine on offense, butweak on defense against Ohio; whileat Michigan neither department wasup to B'ig Ten standards. This weekNorgren has been stressing defen¬sive practice with the hope that the.*Kjuad will show improvement tomor¬row.Wegner to PlayThe Chicago lineup will be thesame that started in the Ohio tiltwith the exception that Wegner willprobably play instead of Oppenheim.If Wegner starts, he will be the onlyMaroon cage letterman playing, andwill he acting captain.Haarlow and Pyle, at the forwardsthe team’s best point makers, bothpo.ssessing excellent shooting ability.At center, Peterson will lend hisheight to following up shots, whileLang and Wegner are scoringthreats from near mid-floor. Oppen-heim’s height is needed and he willprobably see service at one of theguard positions..500 AverageIllinois has a fast, close guardingoutfit which has too much experiencefor the Chicago team to overcome.To date, the Orange and Blue hassplit its Conference combats, beat¬ing Wisconsin and losing to Purdue.Frank Froschauer, clever forward,is a dead shot and should bother thehome team a great deal. Rangy Hud-dy Hellmich is extremely fast forhis 6 foot 4 build and in additionis a capable floorman. The Illinisuffered a serious loss when JackBeynon, football star, injured himselfbefore the Wisconsin clash; but FredFend, who took Beynon’s place, hashandled himself well.The tall cagers, Guttschow andLindberg, complete the regularChampaign five. Guttschow is CoachRuby’s best hope at the forward posi¬tion opposite Froschauer. Les Lind¬berg reported late for practice, buthas displayed enough ability to playon the first team.3 Months IntensiveSECRETARIALCourse for College Trained PeopleA special Secretarial Course for a select, educated group.

Mr. Erskine and Mr. Nitzewere professors together at Amherstcollege a number of years ago.Mr. Xitze characterized Mr. Er¬skine as being very versatile, a goodlecturer, and such an excellent teach¬er that while he was teaching atAmherst, practically the entire stu¬dent body attended the lecture.John Erskine dedicated his latestbook, “Tristan and Isolde,” to hisgood friend. Professor Nitze. At thepresent time, Mr. Erskine is Avritinga novel on the life of Walt Whitman.In addition to his writing of nov¬els, Mr. Erskine has also dealt agreat deal with poetry, and it wasthrough this medium that he becameinterested in music. He has latelydevoted much of his time to encour¬age and promote the composition ofAmerican music.

Underthe new plan we had a thoroughly superficial re¬view of the sciences in their most modern aspect.In the humanities we found what one or two mod¬ern men think about the cultural history of man¬kind. Would you say that it was an intellectualexperience?Socrates: Indeed, it seems that memory wasthe sole quality of intellect you needed. Did theynot provide you with a means of discovering anddiscussing ideas?Exercon: Oh, yes. Occasionally one or twoof our texts presented an idea, but we receivedthe impression that it was an unimportant fact.How could they teach ideas, Socrates?Socrates: My dear Exercon, one does notteach ideas. Ideas are discovered. After discoverythey are discussed. Tell me, Exercon, did youever read any books?Exercon: Certainly. I have read Herodotus,Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Lucretius. Descartes, Vol¬taire, Rousseau, Marx, and Darwin. And that snot allSocrates: Splendid! Tell me what idea Platoand Aristotle had about justice.Exercon; Oh, no, I could not do that. I readonly ten pages of Plato and fifteen of Aristotle.Socrates: Very well. What ideas did you getfrom that bit of reading?Exercon: Well, 1 do not quite remember.Socrates: W^hat, then do you know aboutPlato and Aristotle?Exercon: Now, that’s easy. Plato set up anideal republic, and Aristotle was at once the curseand blessing of all modern thought, which is in¬finitely superior to that of Aristotle.Socrates: 1 can see, dear Ejcercon, that youhave read your texts.Exercon: No, 1 did not read them al! the waythrough—only parts of them.Socrates: Have you read a single book in itsentirety since you have been in the University?Exercon: Not one. 1 have been too busyleading parts of them. But, Socrates, what havethese questions to do with discovering ideas?Socrates: Quite right, my dear Exercon, 1was just coming to that. Ideas are best discovered ithrough experience. The next best way is to read !about them in the books of men who originated jthe ideas. IExercon: To what kind of ideas do you refer, |Socrates? i Socrates: If you wished to know the plan ofa building, Exercon, would you consult the brick¬layer or the architect?Exercon: Why. the architect, most assuredly,Socrates.Socrates: \ ery well, then. If you wish toknow the plan of man’s knowledge, consult themen w’ho saw the plan, reasoned the principles,and related the ideas—not the men who are doingthe modern constructing. Many of them do notknow what they are constructing or what they arebuilding. They are bricklayers.Exercon: But your prescription would requiremore reading than anyone could do in ten years.Socrates: Not at all. The fundamental ideas,principle and propositions, w'hich have definedthe sciences and given them a purpose, whichhave directed the course of the European intel¬lect. are contained in less than one hundred books.Exercon: What are these books. Socrates?Socrates: They w'ould include many of worksin which you have read ten pages and are some¬times called the classics. Tlie Plato, Aristotle, Lu-I cretius, St. .Augustine, Acquinas, Machiavelli,' Thomas Moore, Galileo, Descartes, Locke, New¬ton. Adam Smith, Malthus, Darwin.

Tht last two linesof the “poem" which should have read:“The book’s a messI must confess."were printed as a sentence. This made it appearas though I were commenting, in a disparagingfashion, on your work. But, strangely enough;those two lines were part of the doggerel ivrittcnby one of your own students.But don’t feel badly about it he thinksyou’re a swell guy, a swell teacher and a swelldiagrammatician.Faithfully,Charles Tyroler.I YALE: CLASS OF ’88.\nd for this story, we are indebted to NelsFuqua, Pat Kelly and A. A. Stagg, Sr., althoughI we don’t even know the latter two![ It all happened back in the days when an Al¬pha Delt, Pat Kelly, was Captain of the footballj team and the Old Man was taking his charges[ to play his Alma Mater, Yale. The game over,the Old Man started back to Chicago, but thendecided to stop off at Washington, D. C. and visit‘ his classmate and brother in Psi Upsilon, Henryj L. Stimson, Yale ’88 and then Secretary of Stateunder Hoover.So the Old Man stopped off at Washington andcalled up Stimson. A meeting was arranged andat the appointed hour, Stagg walked into Stim-son’s office followed by the entire football squad.The usual formalities over, the Old Man becamefraternal .•’nd placed his arm on Stimson’s should¬er. With a slight quiver in his voice he startedout: “Boys, ‘Stimmy’ is a fine boy.. . .Stimmyhas always been a fine boy and he’s alwaysbeen a pure boy, too. . . .in fact, boys, ‘Stimmy’ isas pure to-day as he was back at Yale.’’• • •JUST FOR THE FUN OF ITJudith Schoenberg tells us that the ChicagoPlayers, w^ho are presenting St. John Ervine’s“First Mr.s.

They have a five roomapartment over on Kenwood (the address is 60.50Kenwood, in case you’re interested) and whenNate Krevitsky and Arnold Robertson, who oc¬cupy the apartment, feel sociable, the group gath¬ers there and Jias a good old fashioned party.Now take the other night for instance.

May Ieori-ect you. however, in a point ofbibliography? “Diagrammatics" isI not a book written by me and illus-t tratod by Mrs. Hutchins; it consistsof two introductory essays in aesthet¬ics. one by Mrs. Hutchins and one bymyself. Mrs. Hutchins’s drawingsand my {)ioses provide exemplifica¬tions for the analysis. The drawingsare not illustrations any more thanor differently from the way in whichthe proses are. I say this only be¬cause I .<uspect from references Ihave seen to “Diagrammatics” in theMaroon and elsewhere that “Dia-grammatics” elicits comments frompeojile in inverse proportion to theirknowledge of its contents. You willagree that it is unfortunate thatthere is so little correlation betweenthe ability to read and write.Sincerely yours,Mortimer J.

Davidson ranup a total of 17 points, and T, Jef¬frey, 12 for the winners. Freemanmade all of the Rambler’s tallies onfour baskets.Tightest GameIn the most closely contested tiltof the evening’ the Independentsnosed out the Barbarians, 15 to 13.In the first half the Barbarians wentinto the lead and maintained theirposition throughout the period, al¬though Independents stayed up with¬in a few points all of the while. Atthe intermission, the .score .stood, Sto 5.In the second' meet, with aboutfive mintutes to play, the Independ¬ents tied the count at 9 all. The Bar¬barians went ahead on Lang’s shot,but they were immediately passedwhen Kleinman and Niemand foundthe hoop in succession. Then Chilltied it up again with a long, over-the-head shot. The game was settledwhen Kestin dropped one in withonly seconds remaining to play.WhitewashThe first whitewash of the yearwas applied to the Gamma Alphateam when they w^ent down before Even with the strong Illinois teamas their first conference opponentsof the season, the Maroon wrestlersstand about an even ciiance in themeet tomorrow night in Bartlettgymnasium. Tlie Chicago team hasfairly good prospects in five of theeight weight classes.The .squad is not as strong asj Coach S. K. Vorres had hoped afterthe development of his men last year,j because he has lost several membersi of his promising team. However,j some of the men of last year areback and will compete in the meet.Capt. Maiwin Bargeman, who haswon his letter, will wrestle in the155-pound division. Tom Barton,who also was on the squad last year,will meet Fredericks in the 118-, pound division. Fredericks won the iNational A. A. U. title last year. Max |Bernstein, winner of his letter lastyear as a grappler in the 118-pound jcla.ss, is now in the 126-pound class, |and will meet Adams, an able Illini |entrant. !Among the new varsity men, Nor-'man Howard, sophomore and brother iof Bion Howard, last year’s captain, :is one of the be.st prospects of Vorres’ jteam. He will compete in the 135- |pound class. Robert Ki-acke, anothersophomore, grapples in the l-to-pounddivision.Ed Bedrava, an experienced man, 'is placed in the 165-pound class and ,Ray Weimerskirch will be the heavy-1weight, with George Factor in the |175-pound division.

With three weeks of practice aheadbefore the regular .season opens herewith Wisconsin on February 3, thewater polo team, led by CaptainFrank Nahser, is beginning to takeshape. Although this year’s aggrega¬tion is not composed of men withas much ability as the teams of pastyears, they are a hard-working andenergetic group and are expected tohave a successful season. The addi¬tion of Ray Macdonald, a promising; sophomore, to the squad of six vet-! erans. Captain Nahser, Joe Stolar,George Nicoll, Don Bellstrom, LeoSilverstein, and Phil Stein, will helpto strengthen the squad,j Hopes for the swimming teamj were low'ered when A1 Helland andI Ralph Earlandson, foi’mer swimmingj captains were unable to register thisquarter. However, John Roberts,whose eligibility for comeptition hasbeen doubtful, will be available toassure Maroon tankmen of points inthe fancy-diving events.the Disciples, 28 to 0. It seemed asthough some one had stolen the hoopI off the Gamma Alpha’s backboard.! They just couldn’t find it.■ The ring was there for the Dis-' ciples all right though, especially forj W. MacDiarwdd, who registered six. times, and for Wyght, who made fourgoals. .Anxious to show' that they haveprofited from their first two confer¬ence games, the sophomore Marooncagers will take the floor tomorrownight in the fieldhouse against a fav¬ored lllinoi.s team.Coach Norgi-en’s men will have toplay a better brand of basketballthan they have if they are to givethe Illini a close battle. The Chicagosquad looked fine on offense, butweak on defense against Ohio; whileat Michigan neither department wasup to Big Ten standards. This weekNorgren has been stressing defen¬sive practice with the hope that the.^qiuul will show improvement tomor¬row.Wegner to PlayThe Chicago lineup will be the 'same that started in the Ohio tilt 'with the exception that Wegner willprobably play instead of Oppenheim.If Wegner starts, he will be the only ;Maroon cage letternian playing, andwill be acting captain.Haarlow and Pyle, at the forwards ;the team’s he.st point makers, both jpossessing excellent shooting ability. 1At center, Peterson will lend his jheight to following up shots, while |Lang and Wegner are scoringthreats from near mid-floor. Oppen-:heim’s height is needed and he willprobably see .service at one of theguard positions. j.500 Average [Illinois has a fast, close guardingoutfit which has too much experiencefor the Chicago team to overcome.To date, the Orange and Blue hassplit its Conference combats, beat¬ing Wisconsin and losing to Purdue.P'rank Froschauer, clever forward,is a dead shot and should bother thehome team a gi'eat deal. Rangy Hud-dy Hellmich is extremely fast forhis 6 foot 1 build and in additionis a capable floorman. The Illinisuffered a serious loss when JackBeynon, football .star, injured himselfbefore the Wisconsin clash; but FredFend, who took Beynon’s place, hashandled himself well.The tall cagers, Guttschow andLindberg, complete the regularChampaign five. Guttschow is CoachRuby’s best hope at the forward posi- jtion opposite Froschauer. Los Lind¬berg reported late for practice, butha.s displayed enough ability to playon the first team.
