S I SEE I

By J O H N HAINS

The recent request of the Presi-dent f o r a $966,000,000 naval de-fense bill has assumed such para-mount importance in Congress tha t the American people are beginning to wonder exactly what the com-parat ive s t rength and rank of our navy is. With major wars being f o u g h t in the Eas t and the possibil-ity tha t the whole of Europe will soon be deeply engrossed in a cha-otic death struggle, it become? deeply apparent that our naval po-licy is one of tremendous moment.

ALL DRESSED UP . . . NO PLACE TO GO

Upon circumspect scrutinization, however, the President 's desire for such a drastic increase in naval ex-penditures hardly seems to hold water . Always an adherent to the theory tha t a strong navy is our first line of defense and having several t imes gone on record as favoring a two ocean navy, 65,000 ton superdreadnaughts and the like, he has, it would seem, failed to consider the use to which it would be put a f t e r we had built it. The mythical s t rength of the Soviet powerhouse has now been exploded, Japan has shown herself incapable of conquering e v e n backwoods China and even now finds herself seriously demoralized, while Italy and Germany have had no power-

ful navies in decades.

WHAT IS BEHIND FDR'S NAVAL POLICY?

Antithetical to this the United States, due to the sinking several months ago of several British naval vessels, now has assumed definite sea supremacy with «the largest, most powerful, most efficient navy in the world. In addition, we admit-tedly have the world's best air force. Experts tell us tha t the com-bined fleets of no conceivable group of nations could ever land an army on our shores. What then is behind the President 's desire for such a powerful navy? Is he a t tempting to use the naval program as a mons-trous political makeweight, has his vision of a naval problems been an-amorphosized by distorted facts, or does he cling to the theory tha t it is weakness, the incapacity of mak-ing itself sufficiently feared and respected that ultimately draws a nation into wars?

Giving him due credit as a man of sagacity, it must obviously be the latter. Mr. Roosevelt, by build-ing up a powerful navy, intends to demonstrate conclusively to belli-gerents that the United States will retain its r ights as a neutral, that our neutrality is based on strength and the conviction of our interests.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST STRENGTH VS. COWARDICE

If we show the world that we do not intend to he stepped on and tha t we will resist with force any violation of our rights, they will t read very lightly on our toes, if at all. This is the reason behind the naval expenditures. The Presi-dent 's belief is that the only sane course is the maintenance of a strong neutrali ty which will im-press the world with our resolution and strength and not with our weakness and fear. There is no mercy in the world today for weak-lings and cowards. There is no peace for the irresolute and timid. O n c e a g a i n there is a battle for the survival of thp fittest, of democracy against totali tarianism.

Congress must decide whether or not our present position is secure; whether present conditions warrant the proposed naval expenditures as necessary to the maintenance of our security. Perhaps they would do well to remember tha t it is not always the number and s t rength of a nation's ships and airplanes tha t constitutes its first line of de-fense. More often it is the morale and physical fitness of the inhabi-t an t s that decides the outcome.

Council Gets Dr. S. Eddy For Feb. 28

Distinguished Author

Will Address Chapel

Class Lectures Also

Dr. Sherwood Eddy, world f a m o u s t r a v e l e r , has been scheduled for a day of confer-ence on Hope's campus next Wednesday, February 28, it was announced yesterday by Student Council President Ed-win Luidens. Dr. Eddy has been brought to the campus through the efforts of the stu-dent council.

As a worker among students in Europe and Asia, Dr. Eddy has ac-quired a breath of experience which qualifies him as one of the out-standing lecturers of America. From 1896 to 1911 he was n a t i o n a l YMCA secretary of India. He is also ex-secretary o f t h e A s i a YMCA. During the world war the renowned traveler worked with the YMCA branch of the British army and later with the American army.

Prolific Writer Dr. Eddy's vaiied background is

reflected in his prolific writings. His social and political works f r o m India Awakening (1911) to The Challenge of Europe (1933) and Russia Today (1934); his historical works such as, With Our Soldiers in France (1917); his labor work. The New World of Labor (1923); his religious works, New Challenges for Faith (192(5) and his famous Sex and Youth (1929) are among his 17 books published in America. He has also had books published in India and England.

Plans of the council at the time of Anchor publication were to have Dr. Eddy address Miss Ross' cul-tural history class and Dr. Dim-nent's economics classe?.

CHORAL UNION PRESENTS WESTMINISTER CHOIR

I

Forty members of the West-

minster choir of Westminster

Choir college, under the direc-

tion of Dr. John Finley Wil-

liamson, will present the 4th number of the Lyceum series of the Holland Choral union in Hope M e m o r i a l Chapel this evening at 8:15.

Are Picked Students

This choir, which has been hailed as "one of the finest choral bodies in existence" b y Pi t ts Sanborn, sings entirely a cappella and from memory. Its members are selected a f te r an examination by the college in general musicianship, sight read-

ing and vocal technique. Member-ship in the group is open only to graduate students and to regularly enrolled undergraduates of junior and senior standing.

Sings in Europe The choir, which is a mixed

group, was founded as the dream-child of its director, Dr. William-son, about fifteen years ago, six years before the founding of the college to which it gave its name. Since tha t time it has had a re-markable history. The group has sung in 21 European countries and has presented 65 concerts during two continental tours; has sung in the White House on three occa-sions; participated in three concerts with the New York Philharmonic-

orchestra during the 1939 season

and assisted at the opening of the

New York World's Fair last year

with President Roosevelt, in addi-tion to its regular tours.

On 2-Month8 , Tour

I ts concert tours in the United

States have been outstanding suc-cesses year a f t e r year, although the group has never appeared in the f a r west. This year their con-cert itinerary will take them to Los Angeles for a week during the two-month American tour of the choir. More than 45 concerts will be pre-sented during this time. During each of a number of tours in past years, the choir has presented more than 20 concerts.

Western State Teacheis' college and Wayne University were tied foi first place with eight wins per school.

An interesting note to the tourn-ey was i-he fact that almost two-thirds of the wins were on the ne-gative side of the isolation issue. Thiee of the four wins which Hope received were on the negative side of -the debate question.

Dr, Ten Have To Test For Tuberculosis

All Students Should

Take Tests to Aid in Prevention of T.B.

Hope students will be given

an opportunity Monday, Feb-

ruary 26, to take tuberculin

tests through the cooperation

of co l l ege officials with the

Ottawa County Health depart-

ment. Dr. Ralph Ten Have,

director of the county depart-

ment, assisted by a county

nurse, will give the tests with-

out charge to all students who wish to take them.

Speaking in the behalf of the tests in the morning chapel period was Dr. Theo Werle, executive di-rector of the Michigan Tuberculo-sis Association.

Highly Beneficial Test In regard to the importance of

tuberculin tests. Dr. Teunis Ver-geer, Hope B i o l o g y professor, stated, "As a ma t te r of prevention, it is important fo r every Hope stu-dent and faculty member to avail himself of this opportunity. Even though you took the test two years ago you should take it this time, because tuberculosis germs can be picked up within two years."

Dr. Vergeer fu r the r suggested that town students bring in mem-bers of their families for f r e e tests, also. The ounce of prevention in this case is highly worthwhile, he said. Two years ago, when the tests were given at the college, approximately 300 students took advantage of them.

Tappan States Importance Dr. WjlliapvJtf. Tappan, Holland

city health officer, Wednesday s ta t -ed tha t "The importance of these tuberculin tests is that, despite the fact tha t they are not diagnostic tests in themselves, they of ten lead to a diagnosis or indicate to the doctor that the person tested has been exposed to the disease. Work-ing with this evidence, new cases of the illness are often found in a community."

Wednesday of next week the test reactions will be given out. A negative reaction indicates tha t the individual is entirely f ree of tuberculosis germs. A positive re-action indicates tha t the individual has tuberculosis germs, probably as a result of contact with someone who has had the disease.

Where Do W e Come In?

Spontaneity Is a Key To Cultural Benefits

Most of us, in s o m e r a r e m o m e n t of reflection, have asked ourselves the question, "What are we getting o u t o f

college?" Calling ourselves to account for the time we are spending here is obviously important, though such an inter-rogation is a complex one, especially hard to answer for those

without definite after-graduation plans. It is axiomatic tha t what we get out of college depends to

a large extent upon what we put into it. That is, we cannot expect to obtain a cultural education merely by subjecting ourselves to a liberal arts milieu. Naturally, we will be bene-fited only in so fa r as we throw ourselves into the presented

matter with a spontaneous desire to know. First of all, we cannot expect that our liberal ar ts education

is preparing us for life in lieu of experience. Nevertheless in our college major, particularly in the physical sciences, we should expect to graduate as possessors of a certain amount of factual and experiential equipment. Our formal education is to be the organizer of our experience: it should help us to

profit by our experiences. (Few people do I) We cannot expect a college edu-

B r o a d m i n d e d n e s s Is cation to increase o u r intel-

A Matter of Education 'igence- But if we have gamed r\ m a u o , f r o m it an ability to make more

•adequate adjustments and more discriminating choices, we can say that we are getting something out of college. If then, in retrospect, we find we've accumulated a worthwhile store of factual equipment and have learned to meet ordinary piob-lems more adequately, there has been a benefit.

We can expect more than this from our liberal ar ts ex-posure. As Dr. Zwemer pointed out in his open-forum hour February 9, "narrowness and broadness are matters of educa-tion." The lasting contribution of our liberal ar ts training, per se. is the change it makes in our atti tudes toward life. If we find that our education thus fa r has not developed our out-look in terms of greater respect and understanding of people and events, then, indeed, we have missed the main contribu-

tion of the humanities. A good test of how much we have grown along these lines

is to consider how closely we proceed, in specific instances of dispute or adjustment , upon the principles of the scientific method, which are in essence the atti tudes of the man who is open-minded, intellectually honest, and who approaches every problem with a minimum of prejudice and maximum of fair-ness. Ten years from now we will have forgotten most of the factual material we have learned here. But if we have pursued the several arts and sciences we will not have lost the scien-

tific. or cultural, att i tudes toward life. It is, of course, at this point.

ing does not prescribe its limits.

Already we can see that the peculiar function of the liberal ar ts education is not to supply us with the technical training to earn a livelihood. "Life's profoundest needs cannot be satis-fied by the technology o^ trades and professions." It is our contact with the good, the beautiful, the true in the arts, letters, and sciences of the past and present which is our liberal ar ts heritage. Contact with great thoughts, high ideals, and famous lives, which enrich our lives and give them meaning, is our opportunity here.

Obviously, we shall not simply inherit broad outlooks and inspired lives. Nor would it be realistic to assume that we can set out to acquire these intangibles. But there is a prin-ciple, which if followed, will find us one day the possessors of truly cultured personalities. This principle is to apply our-selves faithfully, and with as much interest as we can muster, to our courses, with the idea firmly held in mind that there are truths worth grasping in all subjects. In such an attitude, we may run across a book, get hold of a new concept, discover a personality which will profoundly affect our outlook.

events.

Zwemer Quotes His Tersely, "Let go, and

Dr. Samuel Zwemer, leader of Hope's Prayer Week Serv-ices, when i n t e r v i e w e d the other day, told us the simple but strong ph i lo sophy that governs his life. He states that, "the whole of life con-sists of two rules: let go, and let God."

Forty-seven years ago Dr. Zwe-m e r graduated f r o m this ins t i tu-t ion with six classmates—all bu t one of w h o m entered Chris t ian

doctor claims t ha t his undergradu-a te t ra in ing at Hope influenced his development in l a te r life to t he ex ten t tha t "all he is he owes to

Hope." A Christ ian Socialist

Although he is recognized as a world f a m o u s miss ionary and church worker, Dr. Zwemer is vital-ly interested in political and econo-mic issues of the world today. "If 1 were in Europe today," says the famous missionary, " I would belong to the Christ ian Socialist pa r ty . " For the present-day capi tal ism can-not be reconciled to Chris t iani ty. Our capitalistic sys tems will have to make definite concessions to government regula t ions if we a re

privileges. When in ter rogated regarding his

par t icular aversions and favori t ies , Dr. Zwemer, without a second's hesi tat ion, said t h a t " jazz" and

modernistic a r t , onions and dog-gerel . should be condemned to per-petual banishment. Dr. Zwemer re-g a r d s exercise as our El izabethan ancestors regarded ba th ing : a litt le goes a long way. He likes no exer-cise except walking and has never indulged in any other fo rm. " H a r d work," he claims, " i s the best cure fo r everything." Browning is his

If George Washington Hadn't Been Many Things Wouldn't Have Been

Happy bir thday, George Washing ton! Tomorrow, being the 280th b i r thday of our i l lustr ious ancestor , we though t i t fitting and proper t o

t ake a litt le time out and reminisce a bit. For ins tance : . . . if George hadn't married Martha Cur ties and made her Mrs. Wash-ington we probably wouldn't have all the Martha Washington candy

shops. . . . if George were to cross the Potomac today he probably would find

it much easier to use a fleet of C h r i s - d r a f t s . . . . if George Washington got the majority of his common sense with

the great outdoors as a teacher, couldn't we profit by following his

example and get out of the parlour? . . . if George Washington had lived in a city instead of on a p lanta t ion we'd bet our last dime he'd have managed some fishing t r i p s too. (I

have no politics thank you). . . . if George Washington should return to take a peep through the

today's keyhole he'd say, "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk," and be astounded at women's hats and the men's conservative dress—so much so that he'd be ready to return to 1776 with its plumes, waistcoats and satin breeches.

. . . if Washington hadn ' t been elected pres ident of the Uni ted S ta tes way-back-when, the Republicans could blame it on the f a c t t ha t t h e country got off on the wrong foo t a t first s t a r t . . . . if Washington hadn't been as famous as he is there would be a lot of bank clerks and government employees who would be plenty sore at having to work an extra day in February.

W i t h the in t e r - f r a t e rn i ty basket-ball schedule half over, a definite lead h a s been established. The de-fend ing champion F ra t e rna l team is r id ing the crest of the wave and has defea ted all opponents thus f a r . The F ra t e r ' s la test victory was a one-sided one over the Cosmopoli-tans. The score was 52-18.

Despi te this de fea t the Cosmos mainta in second place in t he stand-ings and with competition such as it is, t he championship will not be d e c i d e d until the final game is played.

Following the Cosmos in order, are the Emersonians , with two wins and two losses; the Independents with one win and three losses; and

the Knickerbockers, who so fa r , have fai led to win a game.

The Freshmen team tha t s tar ted the season in competi t ion, have dropped out of the league. How-ever, the i r place in the s tandings would not have counted.

This is the picture of the league with half of the games played. What will happen in the ensuing

The chance of a l ife-time. I t ' s here. T h a t high point of collegiate

perfect ion (any i r resemblance to what persons living have said is en-

tirely coincidental) is now only a step or two away. A championship

basketball team is about to be crowned. A glory day is about to be un-

furled. Professors will march in the parade , shout ing and waving their

caps. In brief, Sa tu rday night 's game will see the Dutch win the bas-

ketball championship of the MIAA. All of this leaves your correspond-

en t no loophole in the event t h a t the f u t u r e doesn't bring all these

things, but this is no t ime to be chicken-hearted.

The las t t ime Hope took the MIAA basketball crown was dui ing

the years 1936-1937. T h a t year Captain Bill Poppink brought the team

through ten games with one loss; Olivet, in cellar position this year, was

second with eight wins, and Kazoo was th i rd . That team is remembered

by the seniors, but the rest of us have been thwarted. Fo r two years

the team has won a place in the playoffs, and both years their style in

those playoffs was not much to look at fo r those who had seen them at

their best. This year we can avoid the playoffs and sett le the dispute on the a rmory floor.

If the Dutch are beat here Sa turday it will t ake us into t h a t situa-tion of the past two years , however the team is too s t rong to allow this.

The team tha t Alma brings will probably rule the roost f o r the next two years , or a t least, one of them. As sophomores they a re pushing the best t eams in the league, and all will be back nex t year . If exper-ience does any th ing a t all for a team, they will be unbeatable. Albion will not have Cook, Feduniak, or Luxembunr back, and wi! suffer a slump comparable to t h a t suffered by Kalamazoo this year. Brannock, Honholt, Sl ikkeis, and Lokers will not be back for Hope, hence it looks like the 40-41 season will be a plaid one.

Not mentioned in the regular news columns, the scores of Kazoo, Hillsdale and Olivet games in the second round are respectively, 42-19, 58-26, 58-23, all won by Hope. Anent of nothing, one prof, and you can plainly sec by my boldness that I take none of his courses, es t imates the cost of a glory day in the vicinity of one thousand dollars. It must be sport to blow a thousand bucks.

Whether Your

P A R T I E S are large or small we have

what you want the way you want it.

Hope Over Albion In Court Season's Toughest Tilt

Dutch Take Lead Early,

Final Score; 30-24

Las t Monday night the Dutch moved into first place via a 30-24 victory over the Britons of Albion on the Albion home floor. Alma alone remains between Hope and the league crown.

The Hingamen held the lead throughout the game, with the ex-ception of the first minutes of play. Their passwork showed the speed and accuracy t ha t is vital to any good offense, and a t half time the score was 16-13. Brannock was high with e ight points, but the av-erage fo r the team was not f a r be-low this.

The game was the high point of the season, since a defeat for Hope meant t ha t hopes for a champion-ship this year would go a gl immer-ing. I t was the tenth victory f o r Hope agains t one defeat , and tha t at the hands of Albion. The box score;

Victory To Give Hope

11 Wins, 1 Loss

For M I A A Title

For the final game on the 1939-

1940 basketball calendar , and f o r

wha t promises to be the game to

cinch the MIAA crown, Coach

Hinga ' s qu in t will meet the sopho-

more squad f r o m Alma college.

Alma and Albion now share second

place behind Hope, and a victory

for them would throw all three of

the teams into a th ree -way tie.

Alma and Albion in both games

played close contests . The scores

of both teams totaled within two

points of each other . Hope has

dusted both teams with a comfor t -

able margin of victory, bea t ing

Alma on the Scot floor by a 45-32

score, and Albion last Monday, 30 to 24. On the face of it, figures would give Hope the odds. F igures never kept long shots f r o m coming in, however.

S ta r t e r s fo r the Dutch will pro-bably be Honholt and Van Wieren at fo rward , Brannock a t center, Slikkers and Montgomery, guards . For Alma, the H a r t t brothers will s t a r t at fo rward positions, Keith Carey a t center, Gal lagher a n d Kirby at guard positions.

Although the league is likely to see and hea r plenty of the sopho-mores on the Scot squad, th is will be their first game a t the Armory .

Y W C A Hears Bast on Attitudes Of Christianity

Prof. Henry Bast spoke on the subject "Lord, I want to be a Chris t ian/ ' a t the YWCA meeting held last night. He took his title f rom a Negro c o n f e r e n c e a t Broughton, Alabama, w h e r e he heard it sung as a Negro Spiritual.

The pastor b r o u g h t out that Christianity may be looked at in another light. "There is a differ-ence between being pushed into Christianity because it is something t h a t you ought to do, and becoming a convert because you want to fol-low Christ," he pointed out. He went on to discuss and point out the various conducive phases of the Christian life.

The music of the evening was furnished by Mary Bolema.

The YWCA program for Febru-ary 27 will be in charge of the seniors under the direction of Lois Dykhuis. The subject of the eve-ning will center around the "Pano-rama of Religion."

TEACHING CHANGE

Prof. Garrett Vander Borgh has announced that there has been one change in the practice teaching assignments, which he handed out last week. John Luidens has been changed from the English department to the Economics department at Hol-land High under Mr. Hanson.

A bullet, a faucet , a communist, and a tapeworm were a few of the conglomeration of objects which gathered on Hope's campus to be initiated into three of the five girls ' societies on Thursday of last week.

Highlight of the evening was the arrest of Wendy Rameau. Dressed in red, Wendy was giving a com-munistic speech from a soap box on the corner of 8th street and River avenue when she was arrest-ed. She was taken to the police station and held until Dean Eliza-beth Lichty could be prevailed upon to put up the necessary one hun-dred dollars bail. Fellow society members confessed to your reporter tha t it had been a put-up job.

DELPHI INITIATES * * *

Delphi's combination of informal initiation, a buffet supper, and a formal initiation managed to fill every moment of the time from 4 o'clock to dorm time. Louise Becker opened the informal initiation with a paper on "Why I Pose." She was dressed as a picture. Doris Burkett and Marjorie Brower followed in turn as a nut and a pillow. Shirley Carter, was summoned to appear as a pillow, while Marion Fisher, in keeping with her paper entitled, "Why 1 Wiggle," appeared as a tapeworm. A window appeared, plainly Marian Klaasen, who wrote her dissertation on "Why I Am a Pain."

Syd MacGregor, a r u g , Jean Ruiter, a perfume bottle, and Ruth Schuitema, a ball, read papers cor-responding to their disguises. They were followed by Eileen Van Lente, disguised as a heart ; Julia Voss, dressed as a g i r d l e , and Joyce White, gowned as a match.

The group was sold into slavery to the entire society for a period extending from the 12th to the 15th of February. Ardene Boven pre-sided over the formal initiation.

SIBYLLINE GATHERS «r»

Fellow initiates into the Sibyl-line society were sent on various missions around town. Anne De Young imitated Gabby, a character in "Gulliver's Travels," and sang "All's Well" while strolling down Main street. Donna Eby, dressed as Cupid, serenaded the Cosmos to the tune of "Oh, Johnny," while Edith Klaaren, dressed as a valen-tine, accompanied her on the piano.

Florence Dykema and Doris Bet-tes, disguised as Jiminy Cricket and Pinnochio, wended their way to the Fraternal house, while Emily Kar-dux performed at t h e Knicker-bocker house, accompanied by Betty Davis. Fat-Lady, alias Irma Stop-

/ M s i

LIFE pels, did setting-up exercises a t the Emersonian house, accompanied hy Janet Clark. Elaine Veneklasen was sent to the Holland theatre to distribute candy hearts.

SOROSIS INFORMAL * * *

Sorosites, gathering at the home of Mrs. Holland Koskamp, found Caroline Kramer acting as judge before the pledges. A bright red costume labeled Barbaia Folens-bee as a bunj, while Jean Brum-mer's burlap and cord was an at-tempt to disguise herself as a horse's tail.

Pauline Loew, a violent note, wore a black costume and Jean Jennings was ordered to appear as an "itch." She also was forced to exhibit some of her ar t work. Jean Horton appeared before the group as a bill.

Bullets appeared in the open face sandwiches as the contribution ol Mary Jane Raffenaud, who was dis-guised as a bullet. Nancy Jennings, attired in a track suit, proved her dry qualities by wearing a large G. O. P. sign. Evelyn MacCallum appeared as an exposure, while Gert Jalving was dressed in men's clothing to fulfill h e r summons which called for her appearance as a "lie."

Each girl was sold into slavery to an upper classman and a sup-per, provided by the freshmen, was served by the sophomores.

ALETHEA

A series of keys joined by a key-ring in the shape of a large A, formed the program for the Ale-theans at their r e g u l a r society meeting l a s t Thursday. Key to Life, devotions, was led by Lois Glerum, On and Off Key was group singing led by Dorothy Waldo. A paper entitled, "Keyhole Peeper," was read by Dorothy Waldo, while the latest fashion notes were given in a paper entitled, "Key to Charm," which was read by Harriet Lem-kuil.

"Tickling the Keys," a piano solo, was played by Lois Glerum, who also appeared in the last number, a play entitled, "Way Off Key." Other members of the cast were Harriet Lemkuil, Dorothy Waldo and Mildred Dekker.

Slaves were sold to the seniors to conclude the meeting.

The Cosmopolitan business ses-sion of Thursday night was pleas-antly interspersed w i t h unique impromptu entertainment by a bevy of Sibylline pledges. Final plans pertaining to the Delphian-Cosmopolitan Friday night theater party concluded the business meet-ing.

As per schedule, the Cosmopoli-tans and t h e i r sister sorority anjoyed the Holland theater 's main .'eature, "Brother Rat and Baby," Friday night.

• • •

EMERSONIAN • • •

"The Discovery a n d Develop-ment of Rubber," a serious paper presented by Kenneth Ward, fresh-man, inaugurated the Friday night Emersonian l i t e r a r y meeting. Sophomore Milton Verburg pre-pared an admirable paper concern-ing "America's M o s t Neglected N a t u r a l Resource." Anthony 'Stretch" Pennings, junior, in the ^uise of "Pen, Pencil, and Paper," written in collaboration with soph-omore Jay Witte, humored the lit-erary meeting to a successful con-clusion.

FRATERNAL • • •

Bob Wolters, local sax man, fur-nished melody for the Friday night literary meeting. J u n i o r Harry Hakken presented a serious paper concerning the perennial American millionaire, John D. Rockefeller. The Grandville giant, Arthur Tim-mer, freshman, followed in the cap-italist's wake with an illuminating humorous dissertation. S e n i o r James Hinkamp, as Master Critic, proved that every rose has its thorn.

Plans were discussed for the pur-chase of a recording victrola a t a brief Thursday night Knickerbocker business meeting which preceded an entertaining s o c i a l conclave. H e n r y Brady, sophomore, intro-duced the humorous element with his rendition of a well-received paper.
