I^ast year he at¬tempted to send a beam of light agreater distance, hut was preventedby the haze and smoke between thetwo stations. This year, with a slight¬ly different arrangement of appara¬tus, he hopes to send his beam oflight on a round trip of 164 milesbetween Mt. Wilson and Mt. SanJacinto. This experiment will serveas a check on the previous experi¬ment, results of which were of greateraccuracy than Prof. Michelson firstexpected.Einstein Theory Faces TestsMeasurement of the speed of lightin a different type of experiment maybe attempted in the Spring by Prof.(Continued on page 3) Prof. Walter Sargent, who organ¬ized and was head of the art depart¬ment of the University, died Septem-! her 19 from heart failure at his sum¬mer home in North Scituate, Mass.,I and was buried from the First Bap-! tist Church of North Scituate lastThursday.Mr. Sargent, who was well knownas an art critic and teacher, was bornin Worcester, Mass., in 1868 and at¬tended school there and later at theMassachusetts Normal Art School andat Harvard University. He continued! his studies in art in Paris at theColoressi and Deleciusb academiesand the nrr .urned to America'to ac¬cept the position of state supervisorj of drawing of Massachusetts.Famous As Art CriticIn 1904 Mr. Sargent came to theUniversity as a professor of art edu¬cation and was made the chairmanof the department in 1925. Duringthis time he exhibited paintings inmany American art galleries andwrote several books 6'i ait criticism.Lauded By WoodwardVice President Frederick C. Wood¬ward of the University has said “Mr.Sargent was not only an artist ofgreat talent, but a remarkably effec¬tive teacher who attracted a wonder¬ful number of young men and womento the study of art and left an indeli¬ble impress upon them.”Courses which Mr. Sargent was tohave conducted will still be offered.

Spirit of Performance AtUniversity LaudedBy President“In entering the University of Chi¬cago you have entered an environ¬ment where the spirit of performanceis that of opportunity, and no longerthat of compulsion,” President MaxMason told 700 entering freshmen atthe University at the opening of“Freshman Week.” “Our advice toyou is to lead yourselves, and not beled by others; our aim is that afterfour years you will not be cast ina mold of standard performance butin that of your own individuality.”Dean Boucher SpeaksDean C. 'S. Boucher, the otherspeaker, told the freshmen that “youronly duty so far as the University isconcerned is to be true to yourself,and do justice to your opportunities.”The present freshman class hasmore and better opportunities thanany previous class at the University,Dean Boucher said, because the sys¬tem of educational guidance has beenimproved far beyond that of previousyears.“We know that the program ofcourses offered is better than before,especially for the freshmen, becausethe University has spent its best ef¬forts in studying its problems.

Improvement of the Year Book.THIS week some seven hundred and fifty hundred freshmen |are entering the University of Chicago. They are a job lot. IThey are white and yellow and black, Jew and Gentile, blonde ;and brunette, rich and poor, well-bred and ill-bred, city-raised :and corn-nurtured. In appearance and general makeup they are Ias unlike as would be a block of people scooped up off State jstreet on a busy day.Their minds are equally different. Their thoughts, their'ambitions, their outlooks on life are probably not similar in anytwo cases.One thing binds them together—the word College. To someit may mean an ambition finally realized; to others, a promiseof four years of glorious good times. But for all it holds visionsof a sort of Utopia—a Uptopia in which after a few years eachpictures himself as the shining god.Those of us who have been around here for three years ;inclined to smile at this crowds this^mptly -fresh*?”T>ut the smile beiris^S’^-^aficeT It is a smile born of moreless worth-while experience. We would in our hearts like topass this experience on to the freshmen, but then we would losemuch of our prestige. It is much more fun to push a freshmanoff the seal than to tell him not to walk on it. We are onlyhuman.WTe have learned, for instance, that there is no particularglamour about College Life. We know that fraternity men andwomen are no different from anybody else, and that their partiesare no wilder. We have found out that football stars and classpresidents are, after all, human beings. We know that the blue¬bird of College Life is no more real than any other bluebird.And we have learned this: Fraternities and clubs are allright, and the contacts which they are responsible for formingare often of life-long importance. But that when they alongwith other social activities and, for that matter, athletics, beginto occupy the principal part of a freshman’s energy, he is simplyworking against himself. The University of Chicago does notcare particularly whether Amos Fink, freshman number 697,gets nine A’s his first year or flunks out of school at the end ofhis second quarter. It hopes he gets the A’s, but that is up toAmos. If Amos really wants to learn something, the Universitywill give him its best. It will not only present him with the A’shis parents want him to get, but it will attempt to inspire hismind—to give him the desire to know things—to make of hima seeker of the worth while. If Amos chooses to fool away histime riding around in the roadster his father bought him, hewill probably be a fine College Man. If he is ambitious he mightbe made a prom leader, or even president of the Senior class.Then everybody would know his name and wave at him fromfraternity houses. The University would eventually graduatehim and feel sorry for him.We who have been here have learned these things about thelife our seven hundred and fifty freshmen are entering upon.Some of us wish we had learned them sooner. And that is whywe smile our superior smile sometimes.Anyway, The Daily Maroon and the undergraduate body aredarn glad you are here, Freshmen. If you urge us we mightwelcome you cordially to participation in the activities—and thatkind of thing.Circulation Manager,The Daily Maroon,University of Chicago.Dear Sir:Enclosed find check—money-order for subscription toThe Daily Maroon for year—quarter.Subscription rates:$3.00 per year—$4.50 mailed.$1.50 per year—$2.50 mailed.

Construction of a pipeline in Texas may provide him withthe use of several miles of level pipeline through which the light can besent. Surveyors for the line are nowhunting for an appropriate location.The apparatus which Prof. Michel¬son will use in his light experimentat Mt. Wilson' this Autumn consistsof a mirror with eight faces, revolvedat high speed, which will send a beamof light to a large stationary concavemirror on Mt. San Jacinto, 82 milesdistant.While Prof. Michelson is repeatingthe Michelson-Morley experiment atPasadena, another test of the Einsteintheory will be made at the Universityof Chicago’s Yerkes Observatory atWilliams Bay, Wis. The apparatushas been constructed under Prof.Michelson’s supervision, and is now inplace on the observatory grounds. Itconsists of his device, the interfer¬ometer, two glass plates of exactly thesame thickness which divide a ray oflight into two parts traveling at rightangles to each other. Observationswill be made as soon as Prof. Henry |Gordon Gale returns from his vaca¬tion.Professor Raises DoubtA second interferometer will beused by Prof. Michelson at Mt. Wil¬son. The essential difference betweenthe two experiments is that at Yerkesthe interferometer is rotated by therevolution of the earth, while at Mt.Wilson a smaller interferometer willbe rotated in a tub of mercury, thetechnique adopted for the originalMichelson-Morley experiment in 188.1.The original experiment of 1881the rate of speed of light in the twoprovided data which indicated thatthe measurement of the velocity oflight in the direction of the movementof the solar system was the same asthat of light at right angles to themotion of the solar system. Einsteinevolved his celebrated theory to ex¬plain this fact. Recently, however,Prof. A. Dayton C. Millir of the Case school in Cleveland obtained re¬sults which indicated a difference indirections. Prof. Michelson is there¬fore repeating his experiment to learnif the original conclusion was correct.While performing his experimenton the speed of light at Mt. Wilson,it will be necessary for Prof. Michel¬son to do most of his work from 3o’clock in the morning until sunrise,as the air will be steadiest at thattime.

The collection con¬sists of one hundred and fifty vol¬umes of the notes of John D’Alton,famous barrictcr, poet and historianof nineteenth century, Ireland, whohoped to write a complete county bycounty History of Hibernia.For thirty years D’Alton traveledthrough Ireland taking notes on the-character of the land and the historyof the families. Parish files and ar-chieves of castles and abbeys pro¬vided him with pedigrees of morethan twenty-five hundred families.He also gathered old manuscriptsand extracts on antiquarian law ex¬tending back before the time ofHenry the Second.The D’Alton manuscripts are ex¬pected to provide a problem for theUniversity’s cryptograph experts,since the notations are all made jwith a system of abbreviation which Iis only partially explained by the Iaccompanying key.

SMITH EDITSAMERICAN VERSIONOF OLD TESTAMENTUse Modern PhraseologyIn Place of OldEnglish WordingThe “American Translation” ofthe Old Testament, of which J. M.P. Smith, professor of Old Testa¬ment language and literature at theUniversity is editor, has been pub¬lished by the University Press. Be¬cause the “American Translation”discards the English of King .James’time for modern phraseology, andalso contains numerous textualchanges resulting from a betterknowledge of Hebrew, the new ver¬sion of the Old Testament hasaroused considerable interest amongchurch men.Four translators took part in theformation of the new version, Prof.Alex R. Gordon, of the United The¬ological College and McGill Uni-:versity, Toronto, Prof. Theophile J.Meek, of the University of Toronto, jProfessor Leroy Waterman of the !University of Michigan, and Prof. ISmith.Old Bible’s English Modernized“The English of King James’ dayis not wholly natural or clear to Jthe average man at the present jtime,” Prof. Smith says in the pre- iface. “In common every day speecha ‘thou’ and ‘thee’ and ‘thy’ are nolonger used. The same holds trueof ‘ye’ for ‘you,’ ‘waxen,’ for‘waxed,’ and ‘lade’ for ‘load.’ Theuse of ‘vinegar’ in the sense of awine or liquor for drinking has longsince ceased to be recognized. Thetranslators of the King James Ver¬sion were casting no aspersion upon the character of womankind whenin general they said, ‘Who can findvirtuous woman?’ The word ‘virtu¬ous’ for them had its old forcebrought over from the Latin ‘vir¬tue.’ But today, when applied towoman, the world will almost in¬evitably be taken in a more spe-cilized sense, and so be misunder¬stood.”But because the content of theOld Testament is on a high literaryplane, Prof. Smith says, “the lan¬guage of the translation, therefore,cannot be allowed to fall to the levelof the street.” This translation triesto be American in the sense thatthe writings of Lincoln, Roosevelt,and Wilson are American.”Parts Cast as PoemsIn the University translation.Joseph is deprived of his famous“coat of many colors.” and giveninstead a “long cloak.” God givenAdam a “helper” instead of the“help meet” of the old versions, andAdam’s speech when God bringsEve to him is cast as a poem:“ ‘This is last is bone of my bone.And flesh of my flesh;She shall be called woman,For from man she was taken’.”“Solomon’s famous “Song ofSongs” is cast in the form of ad/ialetic poem, the actors in thedrama being the Youth, the Maid¬en, and the Chorus. The transla¬tion opens:The Maiden to the YouthKiss me with kisses from your mouthFor your love is better than wine;The fragrance of your ointments issweet;Your very self is a precious oint¬ment;Therefore do the maidens loveyou.”Page “headlines” which state theimportant theme of each page havebeen put in the new version by theauthors. “David’s Family Troubles,”“Job’s Interview with the Lord,”“Prophecies on the Drought,” ‘The MASON INAUGURATESFRESHMAN WEEKWITH ADDRESS PROFESSOR FINDSPROSE VERSION OFGOLDSMITH POEM University Alumnus Returns FromExperimental Trip to Northwest(Continued from page 1)but we do insist that at the end oftwo years you will have sufficient in¬terest in one special field of knowl-1edge to make that your field of con- jcentration.

Craneof the University of Chicago, ac¬cording to information received dur¬ing the summer.

OFFICIAL NOTICESTo the Members of the Faculties:The Commemorative ChapelService has a definite place amongour University traditions. Duringrecent years many conflicts havearisen in the plan of the openingweek of the Autumn Quarter sothat this Service has not had pro¬per recognition throughout theUhiversity. For this reason the es¬tablished time for the Commemor¬ative Chapel Service hereafter willbe at 12 o’clock noon on the firstTuesday of each Autumn Quarter.This year the usual service willbe held in Mandel Hall on Tues- Jday, October 4. Members of theFaculties are urged to attend in 1academic dress. They are invited jto assemble in the north loungeof the Reynolds Clubhouse at ;11:45 A. M. Cornelius Osgood, a Delta TauDelta and 21-year-old graduate inanthropology at the University, hasreturned to the campus to continuehis studies in ethnology after havingcompleted a trip into northwestern'Canada, which he made with the pur- jpose of accustoming himself to life Jin the forest and the ways of theIndians. Starting from Fort George,British Columbia, a lone outpost atthe edge of the wilderness, in earlysummer, he arrived at Lake Atha¬basca when he had paddled 1,300miles on the rivers of upper Canada.For days he saw no one; then some¬times ke met a trapper of the Hud¬son Bay company or a few Indians,living in the solitude which he wasentering for the first time.Just why Osgood should make sucha trip is this: next year he is plan¬ning to make an exploring expeditionlasting fourteen months into the re¬gion about Great Bear Lake, insidethe Arctic circle, with the purposein mind of studying the customs ofthe obscure tribes of Athabascan In¬dians dwelling there. From this dis¬trict certain' groups migrated south hundreds of years ago and absorbedthe culture of the Pueblo Indians.Prof. Fay-Cooper Cole, of the de¬partment of anthropology, expectsOsgood to add much to the present.sparse knowledge of these Arctic In¬dians, whose last visitor from thesouth was Father Maurice, a mis¬sionary.TOWER63RD AND BLACKSTONE(SaajcajuJcVAUDEVILLE-4ND THE BESTFEATUREPHOTOPLAYSComplete ChargeOf Program EverySunday & ThursdayBARCA,N DAIIYMATINEES UAI LI APULTS30CJUST THE PUCE TO SPENDAN AFTERNOON OR EVENINGWIN OR LOSE YEAR AFTER YEARThe one eating place that has stood the test of the severestcritic of the world, namely the university student, isThe Ellis Tea ShopA cheerful, soft, warming atmosphere.Excellent Cooking.A bite after class.

Theveterans will have to fight to holdtheir berths against the threats ofsuch battling sophomores as Parks,Ketelaar, McKaskle, Ritter, Sho-maker, Stevens, Spaeme and Wig-dale.The regular ends from last fall,W^lch and Cameron, continue toappear on the second and thirdelevens. Both of these boys havebeen riding along on their reputa¬tions and have failed to convincetheir able new end coach, Allison,that they are the equal of Mans¬field, Hotchkiss, Warren and Davies.

Ben¬nie Oosterbaan, end; Baer and Ga¬bel, tackles; and Gilbert, punter andhalfback.In the backfield, the graduationof Friedman has also left the posi¬tion of quarterback wide open.Outstanding candidates for thisposition include Hoffman, Domhoffand Geistert with Miller and Puckel-wartz present as another pair ofquarters.Besides Friedman, the regulars oflast year’s championship eleven whowill be missing from the lineup thisyear include Molenda, halfback;Weber, fullback; Flora, end; Lo-vetto and Dewey, guards; and Trus-kowski, center.Capt. Bennie Oosterbaan leads theends with Nyland, a member of lastyear’s squad, and Taylor, a promis¬ing sophomore who won the Chicagoalumni trophy last spring, fightingit out for the other position.Gabel and Baer, last year’s regu¬lars, are the outstanding tackles ina department blessed with plenty ofgood material.

Last year, for instance, theboys dropped the first football gamethey ever have to Purdue (we callthem the Boilermakers, dear fresh¬men), and the boys also lost—andhow!—to Northwestern for the firsttime in a decade.That, dear fresnmen, was prettybad, and that wasn’t all—no siree!Pennsylvania, Illinois and Wiscon¬sin—ancient, scheming, old rivals—have snatched victories from Stagg’sboys for two consecutive seasons—and that, too, simply hasn’t beendone.Face Big Husky TeamsNow Stagg’s gridders must not only have such a successful seasonthis fall to make everyone forgetthe recent past, but they mustachieve that success against the highcaliber ball teams that Illinois,Pennsylvania, Ohio State, Wiscon¬sin, Michigan, Purdue, Indiana andOklahoma are in the habit of put¬ting out. Tht is why, dear fresh¬men, the Maroon football squad of1927 is up against it.The foregoing, dear freshmen, hasbeen hard to write. An atmosphereof disagreeable gloom somehow haspervaded the lines. But now let’slet a dash of sunshine in. In thefirst place, Coach Amos AlonzoStagg, the “Old Man,” is enteringhis thirty-sixth year as a peddler offootball knowledge, and in spite ofwhat you may have heard here andthere the “Old Man” still knows afew things about the game.

Breast¬ed from H. H. von der Osten, whois Field Director of the expedition.The excavations are being made inan ancient “mystery” city discov¬ered by von der Osten a few milesfrom Alishar, south of the BlackSea in Asia Minor, which has neverbeen touched by explorers, nor evenknown to them.Good faith of the Institute withthe Turkish government is respon¬sible for the rapid progress of theexpedition, which is expected toyield a record of civilization con¬temporary with the Trojan wars andearlier. Mr. von der Osten was ableto secure a permit from the newTurkish government in Angora innine days, which under the old re¬gime would have taken two yearsor so to get.“The cooperation of the Turkishgovernment has been splendid, Mr.von der Osten reports,” said Prof.Breasted. “The spirit has beenfriendly and helpful. Last year whenhe was on his preliminary expedi¬tion. Mr. von der Osten found anEgyptian statue in a railroad outin territory a thousand miles fromEgypt. Instead of smuggling hisfind out of the country, he tele¬graphed an announcement to An¬gora, and shipped the statue there.As a result of his fair dealing hefound the Turks convinced of hisgood faith, and had no difficulty inobtaining a permit. The work of ex¬cavating was under way some weeksbefore a Turkish commissioner wassent to the spot, an evidence oftrust that is unusual.The Hittites are a people whosehistory is largely unknown at thepresent time. One of their languageswas Indo-European in character,and connects them with the ances¬try of modern l’aces. Their cunei¬form documents have revealed theactivities of the ancient Greeks longbefore they had writing of their own.Some of the hero kings of the Hom¬eric songs are disclosed in thesecuneiform tablets.Mr. von der Osten’s one-hundredpage, illustrated report of the re¬sults of the first expedition of theOriental Institute, which completed*,its work including the discovery ofsome unknown Hittite settlements,towns, and cities last summer, isabout to appear from the Univer¬sity of Chicago Press. This column has to do with books,the new ones chiefly, that appearfrom time to time on and from thepresses of our best publishers. Thrutheir cooperation The Daily Maroonis in a position to take a compre¬hensive look at any new opus find¬ing its way into print.Two of Our OwnThe Casual Reader will be espe¬cially interested in such writers asGlenway Westcott, Elizabeth MadoxRoberts, George Hill Dillon, LeslieRiver, or any of the other new com¬ers who have at one time or anotherbeen affiliated with the Universityof Chicago. The appearance on thebookstands of the new novel by Les¬lie River called The Death of aYoung Man is of especial interest toChicagoans when they recall that itwas only four years ago that ouryoung Mr. River was managing edi¬tor of The Daily Maroon and co¬author of a Blackfriars play. Mr.River’s novel has been receivingsome very favorable comment in thecritical columns of several promin¬ent magazines. It is published bySimon Schuster, the company thatcreated such a phenomenal successfor The Story of Philosophy andTrader Horn. The Casual Readerwill review Mr. River’s novel in thiscolumn soon.Mr. Glenway Westcott who stud¬ied at the University of Chicagosome seven years ago and in whomMrs. William Vaughn Moody saw somtich “promise,” has captured theHarper novel prize with his novelThe Grandmothers. Mr. Westcott isat the present time on the continentwhere he claims he is able to get abetter perspective on American life.The Casual Reader has not as yetgot at Mr. Westcott’s book but ex¬pects to render his opinion, good,bad or indifferent, and that as itmay be, soon. Mr. Westcott andMr. River have fallen in behind thesomewhat inseniorated Miss Eliza¬beth Madox Roberts, who, wemight mention, has been concentrat¬ing a bit on the short story . Mr.Westcott, too, has been somewhatprolific since the publication of hisnovel having seen several of hisshort stories in print. His shortstories remind us somewhat, ofthose written by Theodore Dreiserin the latters Free and Nigger Jeffdays. There is the same tone, thesame attitude, the same melan¬cholia.Mr. Halliburton in Our MidstTiring of the penning of his verycolorful adventures round and aboutthe continent, our very romanticMr. Halliburton of Princeton, hastaken seriously to the lecture plat¬form and has wormed his way westas far as Chicago. This moonlityoung romanticist set the literaryworld on fire, as far as young read¬ ers were concerned at least, with hisfirst book The Royal Road to Ro¬mance, his second volume The Glori¬ous Adventure, just off the press,is expected to surpass the successof his first book, but, in our estim-tion, it does not match up at allwith the virgin opus.We are somewhat entranced bythe dash, color, vigor, romance ofthe very young author. He haA donesomething which every young hope¬ful writer in America has, at onetime or another, no doubt dreamedof doing. He swam the Hellespont,where Leander and Byron had gonebefore him; he swam in the foun¬tain of the Taj Mahal; he visitedthe grave of Rupert Brooke, he didabout every thing but pull the beardof the Grand Vizir of Bengal, andwrote about his adventures in avery attractive way.Only young American literateursseem to accomplish so much so soon.At twenty-one, six years ago, Mr.Halliburton graduated from Prince¬ton; three years later he had foundmost of the poetic corners of asomewhat prosaic world. Yes, weare glad you are coming to Chi¬cago, Mr. Halliburton.Roman Summer by L. LewisohnMr. Lewisohn’s new book, Ro¬man Summer, has just been publish¬ed by Harpers. This is a character¬istic Lewisohn novel. It is a psy¬chological study of a young manwho was brought up in a middlewestern college town and of his lovestory during a summer in Rome.Ludwig Lewisohn is one of the mostscholarly of the living writers. Whilemost of his background is Germanhe is equally well informed onFrench literature. He is known,cihefly, for his brilliant critical writ¬ings. Though not particularly scin¬tillating in its style, or in its plot,Roman Summer is a very palatablenovel, such as that may be.The Letters of Charles BaudelaireA special release copy of TheLetters of Charles Baudelaire hasproved a source of much satisfaction.The little volume, got out by Albertand Charles Bohi, will be releasedas a companion volume to the Com¬plete Poems and Prose of Baudel¬aire. It is translated by Arthur Sy¬mons, and the intimate correspond¬ence of Baudelaire to his motherand his friends throws an interest¬ing sidelight on this most fascinat¬ing and courious French poet.A Noble RestorationWith the publication of “TheCrimson Handkerchief” by Comtede Gobineau, Harper and Brothersis reviving the Odd Number Seriesstarted almost thirty years ago.This newest volume contains twostories besides the one from whichthe book takes its titles. They are“The Daughter of Priam” and “TheNestlesMilk ChocolateCroquettesRichest in Cream STETSONHATSX HE smart style andfine quality of aStetsonare merely reflectionsof long experience andsuperb workmanship,matched by no otherfine hat maker in theworld.Eight Dollarsand upStyled foryounc] SCen Caribou Hunt.” The translationfrom the French is by Henry Lon-gan Stuart and the preface by Er¬nest Boyd.‘^When Comte de Gobineau diedin 1882, at the age seventy-six,”says Mr. Boyd, “he was known tothe world of fashion and diplomacyas a brilliant talker who had achieveda distinguished diplomatic career. Henever spoke of either his imagina¬tive or scholarly writings in theParis salons, and Anatole France,who met him at the Princess Math-ilde’s salon a few years before hedied, never suspected that he wasin the psesence of one of the mostoriginal figures in modern FrenchLiterature.”Still SellingThe first number of the Odd Num¬ber Series, a collection of De Mau¬passant’s short stories, published in1899, has been consistently popularand today, almost thirty years afterpublication is still selling at the rateof an edition a year.The original idea behind theseries was to bring out in good Eng¬lish translations those works of Eu¬ropean authors which although ofundisputed literary excellence hadbeen somewhat neglected in theemphasis on longer and more pop¬ular works. • HONOR SCHOLARS’AT UNIVERSITY LEDBY LOCAL STUDENTSScholastic Ability Basis ofAwards Won byChicagoansAnnouncement of seventynine“honor scholars” at the Universityof Chicaigo showed that studentsfrom the city of Chicago led out-of-town students in the number ofawards. Eighty-one per cent of thehonors for scholastic ability went tostudents of the city despite the factthat Chicagoans comprise only forty-five per cent of the undergraduatebody.Out of the seventy-nine chosen fordistinction sixty-five have theirhomes in Chicago, five live in thesuburbs and nine hail from otherparts of the country.Thirty-nine of the group are stu¬dents who are entering their secondyear of college. These made a group average of slightly less than “Aminus.” The honor scholars of thethird year group, of whom there arenineteen, maintained an average of"slightly better than “A minus.” Thetwenty-one fourth year winners werechosen for awards in particular de¬partments of the University and notsolely upon the basis of their gen¬eral averages.Seven of the seventy-nine, accord¬ing to the Registrar’s report, achiev¬ed straight “A” averages, making thebest grade possible in all the classeswhich they attended. These are allfrorfl Chicago. Four of them, Ray¬mond Dickinson, Jenna Aldena Gib-boney, Harold Haydon and RobertPalmer will be sophomores nextfall. The other three, Donald Bond,Florence Krimmel and Dorothy Bak¬er will be juniors.All seventy-nine are eligible forfull year scholarships in the Univer¬sity but Dean of the Colleges, Chaun-cey S. Boucher, has urged that thosewho have sufficient means to pay fortheir tuition give the scholarshipprivilege to those a little furtherdown on the grade list but who aremore in the need of financial as¬sistance.James Howells IntroduceHenry James wrote the prefaceto the first volume of the series andWilliam Dean Howells to the sec¬ond volume, also a collection of DoMaupassant short stories.

Itwas a task calculated to appeal focollegians—the magnitude of it con¬s' ituted a challenge. When one re¬members that 600,000 persons weredependent at one time upon the RedCross for food and shelter, the im¬mensity of the job is apparent. Sev¬eral Southern states saw their mostfertile farm lands converted into agreat lake. The Father of Waterschallenged his adherents as never be¬fore. How well they met the chal¬lenge is an old story by now. In every community where the risingwaters became a menace to life andproperty the undergraduates of theinstitutions in the locality marshalledthemselves into a relief body. Theytook orders from the Red Cross direc¬tors on the scene and performedprodigies of service. Their intelli-1gence, their courage and their untir-1ing youth was an inspiration.Red Cross Relief PromptNot that the students deserve orexpect special commendation. It wasan emergency calling for the best inevery citizen. Naturally the col¬legians were involved, but involved jgloriously and in ji manner befitting jthe best traditions of American scho¬lastic life. Similar scenes were en¬acted throughout the country. Whilethe Mississippi burst its levees twelveother catastrophes were reported inother states. Red Cross relief waspromptly forthcoming. The past yearwas a trying one in practically allsections of the United States. Twen¬ty-five states suffered disaster in jsome form during the past twelvemonths. Flood, fire, cyclone and ex¬plosion followed one another withgrim persistence. It was a period de¬signed to try the patience and op¬ timism of the bravest. But theAmerican people won through—andthe Red Cross served as the mediumin every case.College Men Taught SwimmingThe total number of disastersreached the appalling figure ofseventy-seven during the past fiscalyear, including the gigantic Missis¬sippi floods. Small wonder that thecollege men and women throughoutthe nation found opportunity for prac¬tical application 'of their abilities.But there exists a brighter side. Notall the activity of the Red Cross con¬sisted of providing disaster relief.The great universities accommodat¬ing thousands of young men madesplendid progress the past year inteaching proficiency in water rescueand swimming. The colleges concedethe pre-eminence of the Red Cross infostering and developing water safe¬ty, swimming and first-aid courses.The athletic programs of the univer¬sities were well adapted to specializ¬ing in this field. Yale turned outfrom 100 to 150 men trained in swim¬ming and water safety. Dartmouthwas not far behind, while at West Point and Annapolis the poor swim¬mer was the glaring exception.Water Courses PracticalSwimming is frequently chosen asthe winter sport in many colleges.From the indoor tanks the swimmersemerge to engage in summer activi¬ties, such as participation in Red •Cross Life Saving Institutes held an¬nually. The girls’ colleges are justas keen as their brothers in acquiringwater proficiency. Smith, Wheaton,Bryn Mawr and Western Collegehung up notable records the pastyear.

The pallidexhaustion that appeared sooner orlater on all of their worn youngfaces as they wearily made thescheduled million and one tours ofthe university, and the downrightcomatose faintness that marked theirlabored step at the end of each day’srustling from one office to anotherin disorderly scrambles after class-cards, convinced us of one indubi¬table fact—the authorities knewwhat they were doing when they setthese seven days aside on the Uni¬versity calendar as “FreshmenWeak”!!CAMPUS NURSERY RHYMES2. Little Mi** MuffettLittle Miss MuffettSat on a tuffetReading some Rabelais treats;Along came a teacher,But ere he could reach herShe’d turned to a sonnet by Keats!!FOR those lonesome freshmenwho—awed by the overwhelmingloftiness of grey towers and themedieval grandeur of gothic arches— arc prone to look upon this Uni¬versity as a big puddle in which theyare but tiny frogs; and to whom,furthermore, anything reminiscentof the good, old high school days,when they were big frogs in a littlepuddle, would be a source of joyousecstasy, we have a carefully worked-out plan: Let all such freshmen go,individually, to the corner of Fifty-eighth Street and University Avenuewhere, facing to the north, they will• cross the index and little fingers ofthe right hand and start walking. Onarriving at the southwest corner ofFifty-seventh Street and UniversityAvenue, they will simultaneously un¬cross the fingers of the right hand,cross the thumb and forefinger ofthe left hand, and, whistling theAlma Mater, march westward forabout one hundred yards until theyare opposite Hull Gate. Here theywill stop whistling, uncross theirfingers, turn to the left, and, walk¬ing on their hands, travel forwardapproximately forty yards and sevenfeet to the left oblique—which willplace them in the middle of thebridge spanning the Botany Pond.They will then resume their uprightposition, cross all the fingers of bothof their hands, sing one chorus of“C Stands for Cherished Courage,”and do a somersault into the muddywaters at their feet. We have asnickering idea that their sensationswill prove to be somewhat akin tothose of any good, big, healthy frogwho finds himself in a very littlepuddle.IT is the stern duty of some right-minded dyed-in-the-wool, campus-sophisticate each year to tell themore literalminded souls among thefroshoisie that the University seal isnot the prize mascot of the swim¬ming team and fond of kippered her¬ring. Following that line of thoughtwe take it upon ourselves to informthe same blindly faithful group thatthe last place on earth they mustplan to use for reading purposes—be their pamphlet a book of Muttand Jeff cartoons or a volume ofSantayanna’s philosophy—is HarperReading Room.EACH fall there is great specula¬tion on campus as to whether or notthe incoming men and women arebetter or worse than their predeces¬sors of former years.

Chamberlin, professor ofgeology at the University, who withMr. Allen Carpe of New York, wasthe first to climb any of the majorpeaks of the Cariboo range of BritishColumbia in 1924, has returned tocampus after reaching the summitsof three new peaks of the range.Mr. Carpe, a prominent member ofthe American Alpine Club, and oneof the famous Mt. Logan expeditionin 1925, again was Prof. Chamber¬lin’s companion this summei.The new peaks climbed this sum¬mer were Kiwa, with an elevation of11,400 feet; Mt. Welcome, with anelevation of 11,150 feet, and Mt.Goodell, 10,450 feet high. Kiwa wasnamed for a creek which has itsorigin in the range, and Goodell wasnamed for “Slim” Goodell, a packerand trapper of the region, who> wasa member of the expedition.Carry Own EquipmentTo reach the new peaks, Prof.Chamherlin and Mr. Carpe back-packed their equipment up grizzlyand caribou trails sixteen miles to theend of the Kiwa Glacier. After theyhad established a camp at an eleva¬tion of 4,700 feet, they had consider¬able difficulty in surmounting twocrevassed ice falls. Several dayswere required to find a route overwhich they could pack sleeping bagsand food to a bivour j above the sec¬ond ice fall. From this base theyclimbed Kiwa Peak in five hours, inan interval between heavy snow¬storms.Part of the climbing on Kiwa Peakwas done on a snow slope with anangle of 47 degrees, up which everystep had to be cut. A part of thedescent of Mt. Goodell could be ac¬complished only by digging out steps,and the two explorers were in immi¬nent danger of snow slides. Theyspent seventeen days in the moun¬tains, storms and cloudy weatheroften interfering with their work.Range Previously UnknownUntil the 1924 expedition of Prof.Chamberlin and Mr. Carpe, little wasknown of the range, the locations onthe maps differing greatly. Explora¬tory efforts made by the late Prof.E. W. D. Holway, botanist of theUniversity of Minnesota, and Dr. A.J. Gilmour of New York in 1916were rendered unsuccesful by weatherconditions.

C.Page Ten THE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1927University Medics DemonstrateEffects of Overeating On Vision“Distention of the stomach byovereating produces a disturbance invision. Objects blur, especially nearobjects. The individual has difficultyin reading, partly due to the blurringand partly due to wandering of theattention.”This conclusion was reached by J.Frank Pearcy of the Department ofPhysiology and Dr. Thomas DyerAllen, ophthamologist, in RushMedical college at the University ofChicago, after extensive experimentsperformed on each other.Stomach and Eye AssociatedKnowing that gastro-intestinal up¬sets were associated with visual dis¬turbances, the two scientists set outto find which was responsible for theother. “In the experiments one of uswas used as a subject, and we noticedthat from the first the experimentalprocedure produced a temporary im¬pairment of vision. How could it beexplained? The optical factors so farnot studied were: the amplitude ofaccommodation and the condition re- jtina itself. It was decided to see if 'these factors could be influenced by jdistention of the ailimentarv tract, jThe stimulus was applied by a Reh- Ifuss stomach tube which the subjectswallowed. In the experiments which ■needed careful measurement of thespread of the stomach the subjectswallowed a balloon tied to the end of jthe stomach tube; the ballon was |blown up to the required size.Effects of Air and Food Alike“That distention of the stomach byair produces effects similar to thosearising from eating a large meal isevidenced by the similarity of thesymptoms. Within a minute or twoafter distending the gastric balloonthe subject became drowsy, felt “re¬laxed” and desired to sleep, the sk»nfelt warm and moist, perspirationappeared on the forhead, upper lip,palms of the hands, etc., and the kneejerk became markedly diminished.Extra effort was required to read asthe attention lagged and the type became less sharply outlined, andblurred.Eye Reflexes Studied“Examination of the eye with aretinoscope showed that after disten¬tion the accommodation of the eyewas reduced, their was a reflex hypo¬tonia of the oiliary muscles, whichmeans that the nerves and musclesc ntrolling the adaption of the pupil¬opening to changing light conditionswere less sensitive. On the rtetina, orback of the eye, the veins increasedmarkedly in diameter and becamemore tortuous; small veins nj>t pre¬viously seen came into view and afterfifteen to twenty minutes a mild re¬tinal edema, or swelling, could beobserved. The hypotonia, or accom¬modative insufficiency and the retinalcongestion cause the blurring.“The subjective changes whichcause wandering of the attention arepart of the general nervous reactionto the distention. These subjectivechanges include drowsiness and thedesire to sleep, perspiration, and re¬duced knee jerk.’’ HALLIBURTON, YOUNGAUTHOR, TO SPEAKAT ORCHESTRA HALL‘Old Man’ RecallsFootball MemoriesIn Recent InterviewFootball, its history and growth,illustrated with many instances fromthe teams of the University, is toldto the public by the “Gramd OldMan” in an interview called “Touch¬down,” written by Wesley WinansStout.In “Touchdown”.

Richard Halliburton, author of“The Royal Road to Romance,” willspeak at Orchestra hall on the nightof October 17, under the auspices ofthe Chicago League of Women VotersForum.The daring adventures portrayed inHalliburton’s two books of travel, to¬gether with his individuality, and in¬timate fascinating style as a platformspeaker has made him a decidedlypopular man among contemporaryauthors and orators.Though only twenty-seven years ofage, Richard Halliburton already wit¬nesses a rapid-fire sale of his “RoyalRoad” in America as well as the pub¬lication of editions in England, Ger¬man, Holland, Sweden and Denmark.Added to this two other distinctionsstand out most prominently—that ofbeing chosen principal speaker forthe anual convention of the AmericanBooksellers’ Association and his ap- |pearance on the platform before theNational Geographic Society inWashington, where he received an iovation from the two thousand super- \critical members.This speaker and author, upon hisgraduation from Princeton Univer¬sity in 1921, minus penny and dis¬tinction, started on his journey overdistant Asia, Africa, Spain, Greece,China, Japan and remote places ofthe globe with the determination tobring back to his people the spirit ofromance. And so after visiting amodern Robinson Crusoe in the MalayArchipelago, swimming the Helle¬spont, climbing Mount Olympus, es¬caping Chinest pirates, attempting tostow-away on a passenger airplanefrom England to France, sailing theseven seas, etc., he brings to Ameri¬can audiences and readers a greathemisphere of vibrating adventureSaturday from 9 to 1.
