RRRFPTTON OUSLY VIEW THE RISING F RIVER IS GREAT SUCCESS Due to the activities of Jupiter Pluvius last week the annual "tutf of war" across Black River had to be postponed. The lower classmen came to chapel Friday morning with down- cast faces, realizing that if the weather would not show a more favor- able disposition the period of their anxiety would be lengthened. The water in Black River had already risen to such height that the only safe way to conduct the "pull" would have been to equip the members of the teams with stilts or life savers. As the rain continued throughout a greater part of the day hope died in the hearts and many first and second year men and the pull was put off until a more favorable day. However, this disappointment did not put a damper on the high spirits of the various classes as they gath- ered in different places for the first class parties of the year. Seniors Frolic at Macatawa Mary Jane Inn was the "rendez- vous" of many jovial Seniors last Friday evening. Although the weather was inclement outside, the warmth of good fellowship and friendship reigned in the joyful hearts of all who were present. After each one had done justice to a sumptuous dinner Melvin Lubbers began the program with a "Welcome to all." Bill Tuttle, Egbert Fell, Ver- non Ten Gate, Jack Soeter, and Ralph Midler, introduced by Abe Potts, spoke a few words to the class, con- gratulating its members upon their achievements of the past summer. The party then adjourned to a more spacious room, where the rest of the program was staged. Henrietta Bey- ers favored us with one of her hu- morous readings. The stunt, "Lochin- var," put on by Helen Van Ess, Pearle Leenhouts, and the Peelen brothers, was very clever and a source of great amusement to all. The class prophesy, foretold by the bards. Bill Maat and Russell Damstra, revealed the future happenings of the present Senior class. After singing a group of songs the class of '27 dispersed, each one de- claring the evening "a splendid suc- cess." The Seniors were glad to have with them, as guests of honor, Professor and Mrs. Raymond, and Mr. Bell, a brother of Mrs. Raymond. Juniors Feast at Country Club Could anyone ever have had more fun than the Juniors had at their class party Friday night? The scene of festivity was the Country Club, which was warm and cheery. The keynote of the evening was "dilferent." From the delicious supper around the two long tables to the end of the program everything was different. Hazel Al- bers entertained with a piano solo; Mable Moeke sang; Helen Zander gave a reading; Mary Gordan had charge of "The Evolution of Marriage," and fJeorge Clic(|uennoi also gave a read- ing. We must add a word about Mary Gordon's evolution stunt. Mc Carroll and Hughes must be complimented upon their ability as apes; and Jean Hinken, in her role of a futuristic bride, had her poor husband abso- lutely cowed. After the program a jolly informal hour was spent. Howard Sluyter and I/»ster Kuyper are splendid entertain- ers. No wonder everyone was loathe to break away a little before eleven o'clock, for it is not often that we have such pleasant times. Sophs Rally at Mac Hotel Although the familiar "pull" atmos- phere was lacking, there was no want of pep at the Macatawa Hotel where ' the Sophomores held their party. The welcome aroma of tasty food greeted them as they came in out of the cold, and they soon dispatched nearly everything eatable in sight. After supr per Bernard De Pree, the class presi- dent, introduced the program, which began with a group of Dutch songs by Ethel Heneveld.

M. and Y. W. C. A. recep- tion. At 8 o'clock the Hall was nearly filled with students giving each other the- hearty hand of fellowship. Each person upon entering the building was given a card with a name on it indicating to which group he would belong later in the evening. A black ribbon also was given to every- one. This ribbon could be kept until the wearer used the words "Yes" or "No." It was then given to the one with whom he was conversing. The faculty stood in line greeting both new and old students. The older students also introduced their "Frosh" friends to as many as possible. Here and there were some shrewd men buy- ing up, as it seemed, black ribbons. Judging from the number they had pinned upon themselves, they were very proficient in the picking game, if they did not buy the ribbons. When all had made the rounds (some perhaps- had gone twice) the president of the Y. M. C. A., Roy Nat- tress, called the meeting to order by giving a short talk. He then called upon the Y. W. president, Harriet Heneveld, for a talk. After this Rev. Harry Hager, the College Pastor, made a speech stressing the impor- tance of "Y" work. Following these talks a trumpet solo was given by Margaret Hondelink and a reading by Helen Zander. The last number of the program was a pantomime entitled "Cinder- ella," in charge of a group of men. This number was especially entertain- ing. It was very evident that much work had been spent upon it. When the intellectual man had been filled, the physical man was satisfied with a combination of ice cream and cookies. The assembly, which had now collected into different groups, filed up the stage to help themselves to the "eats." Slowly the crowd began to disperse and each one felt that the evening had brought him into many new friendships. Water, Nick Prakken and Jean Groot- ers. Two readings by Jacob Pelon ended the program. Peppy games and songs rounded off the evening and sent everyone home declaring the party "the best yet." Miss Ramaker acted as chaperon. Miss Ross was also invited but, due to illness, was unable to attend. Frosh Romp at Lakeside ftin The eagerly awaited Frosh party took place on the evening of Sept. 24. A special interurban took most of the revelers to the cheery Lakeside Inn. The Frosh orchestra was busy from the beginning and displayed some rare musical talent. After a grand get-acquainted march came ttaJmost important factor of the evening? "eats" which were certainly good were said by many to be very essen- tial for the occasion. The program included a humorous poem on "The Class of '30," by H. Van Weasel, a speech by the president, Paul Nettinga, and exortations on the pull and class spirit by H. Nobel, and last but not least some good adyioe and amusing Jokes by our chaperon. Dr. Van Zyl. Mr. Van Zyl assured us that we would love Hope College and that she welcomed us among her other children. Miss Huizenga, Paul Nettinga and 'Rutch" Steketee enterr tained with musical numbers.

The play provokes laughter and tears in its re- lation of the rather general tendency of American youth to marry without the slightest regard for the economic considerations incident to the estab- lishment and maintenance of a home. Amy Fisher, daughter of an every- day family, is keeping company with Aubrey Piper, a flashy clerk in a Pennsylvania freight office. She mar- ries him in definance of the counsel of he^ mother, brother and elder sister, who have come into some knowledge of Aubrey's true worth, if any. The cold economic facts which the enrap- tujjgd lovers are obliged to contem- plate after their marriage, and the efforts of Amy's family to spare her the tragedy of her husband's incom- petence and inability to support her, make a sketch of life in America to- day as irresistibly amusing as it is mercilessly faithful. New York critics testify that "The Show-Off" is one of the outstanding successes of recent years. The play ran well into its second season at the Playhouse in New York. Its Chicago run also was phenomenal. It topped the list in Burns Mantle's book of "Best Plays" and was nominated for the .Pulitzer prize. "The Show-Off" will be given here on December 1 by a splendid cast of New York actors. This play is the third number on Hope's lecture course. Buy your tickets now.

Cornwall's particular job will be to whip into shape a backfield cap- able of meeting some of the best col- lege teams in the state. Red Cornwall has gained much experience at Grand Rapids Union High and Western State Normal and is fitted in every way to carry out his duties. Cornwall already has several back- held squads running through forma- tions and getting into shape for the scrimmages which will start this week. Coach Schouten is spending most of nis time developing suitable line ma- terial. Hope will have almost an en- tirely new line with only Capt. Fell, Gowens and Peelen as experienced men.

Passersby asked, "What can all that racket be about?" but it was no more than the fellows trying out for the Men's Glee Club. A large number had responded to the call, but the director, Mrs. Fenton, has this year reduced the number in the club to sixteen. On Tuesday afternoon the first meeting was held. After discussing plans for the coming year and having a short business session we tuned up our vocal chords and started off with a bang, but this time the music was of a more harmonious nature. Never before has such a peppy, lively bunch of fellows gathered to- gether. They were pretty hard to keep quiet and when once started they ^were hard to stop. If you don't be- ^eve it just go to Mrs. Fenton and it her opinion on the matter. We have resolved to make this year an outstanding one in music for Hope. Concerts will be given fr^m time to time and our capable business manager. Jack Soeter, will haye his hands fu|l in booking engagements. In order to make this year a com- plete success we must have the back- ing of every student in school. FJveryn body boost the Glee Clubs wherever you go.

Its purpose was to arouse interest for football, track and the tug-o-war. Melvin Lubbers, president of the Stu- dent Council, presided over the bois- terous crowd. The gym was the cen- ter of yelling, amusement and general enthusiasm. Each class was privileged to stage a stunt. The Frosh had a miniature tug-o-war in which they won; after this a funeral march was held with the Frosh carrying a coffin of '29. The Sophomores staged an old time Roman triumphant march with a char- iot going on before and the captive Frosh being pulled on from the rear. The Juniors had a comical musical stunt with Kuyper and Smith star- ring. The Senior stunt was a bur- lesque on the Freshmen. Various pic- tures were acted out, such as: A Freshman as a Senior sees him; a Freshman as he sees himself, and as he really is; a Senior as a Freshman sees him, and as he really is. These parts were acted out with great skill, so that many hearty laughs were pro- duced. The whole program was full of spice. Several students gave short speeches for various objects. Kik gave a financial report of . the Athletic As- sociation and urged that everyone buy a ticket. Fell gave a stirring appeal for football this year. He stated that more candidates were needed in order to insure a good team. Likewise, Clicquennoi made a plea for track. After the tug-o-war rules and the Frosh rules were read. Jack Schouten strongly insisted that students be careful not to destroy property in go- ing to and from the pull. A yell fest was indulged in at which time J k Kik • was chosen chief yell master, with R. Smith and Dean Mar- tin as assistants. Thus things were partly arranged for the busy fall pro^ gram at Hope.

GOLD

Pure gold! Bright gold! I often laugh

to think

How rich I am, how Idle I have been;

While others lull and break their

hearts and die,

I laugh and bring a million nuggets In.

I store them In a gleaming golden

bowl

Within the ancient stronghold of my

soul.

I sift it through my Angers, my bright

gold;

And I can name my nuggets one by

one;

This Is the morning light upon the hill,

And this, a gold, gold flower of the

sun.

And this, a ftUd canary that flew high

Against a lovely lemon evening sky.

Cvange and bronze, where autumn

fruits are swung,

And molton gold where maples stand.

Oh, I have gathered them within my

soul

Where I can touch them with my

naked hand.

Tomorrow, In another Idle hour,

I'll mine more gold from hill and field

and flower.

P R I N C E OR C H U R L

Pr ince or Churl , which a r e you? In

your own es t imat ion you m a y be a

prince, but to o thers you may be a

churl . Man does not live unto him-

self , he is a social being and as such

he is judged by his manner , speech

and act ions. Success in l i fe depends

on these th ings . A man is a prince

or churl according to his cul ture. Cul-

t u r e is a m a t t e r of the hea r t and mind. The desire f o r it is o f ten hered i ta ry ,

bu t the re have been princes born who

were churls a t hear t . Cul ture is not a

g i f t which we can possess a t once, but

the desire to* possess it should be in-

sti l led in everyone. We cannot believe

t h a t as a man is born, prince or churl ,

so is he. There are many princes, and

cha rming ones, who were born churls.

Not wha t you are , but wha t you a re

to be depends on you. Our lives a re

influenced by those about us, and by proper discrimination our t r a in ing in

nobility begins. Ideals a re of ten per-

sonified by human examples until the

mind can fo rmula t e i ts own. Where

the desire f o r cul ture is once alive

each day should teach new courtesies.

The cloak of a churl is not easily

t r a n s f o r m e d into the robe of a prince.

Gruf fness and bluntness are not easily

displaced by ease and tac t . Propr ie ty

is the resul t of a l i fe t ime of expe-

rience in the fine a r t s of gent lemanly

conduct. Life is fu l l of people who have r isen

f r o m the s t a t u s of a churl to t h a t of

a prince. Breeding does mean a lot,

it shows wha t is inside of a man .

Clothes a re said to make the man, but

w h a t a fa i lure he of ten is socially.

He lacks the finesse and breeding of a

man who valued the best in l ife. Why

a re people so d i f fe ren t? W h y do you

like the one so much be t te r t h a n the

o t h e r ? W h a t a t t rac t ion is the re in

some people? Everyone admi t s t h a t

the re a re a few who s tand high above

the ord inary . They possess a noble

discontent . The i r ideals a re such a

p a r t of the i r being t h a t they never

s toop to sully them. Admira t ion f o r

the man who cherishes his d r eams!

Do not wai t until you are older to find

an ideal, f o r then you will be too

small to find one. Your ideals grow

up with you, and in t ime you are un-

conscious of the revolution they

caused in your life. No two th ink

alike, no two, therefore , can act alike,

but a s it is a noble t hough t or a base

one, such is the man.

In my opinion the answer to this quest ion depends la rge ly on the spir i t

in which they are fough t . If they

a r e f o u g h t as the one of a few eve-

n ings ago I cer ta in ly do th ink tha t

they aid in building up school spir i t .

When the sc rap was over they all

shook hands and went home. I think

this was an example of genuine good

spor t smanship , and it mus t have given

each Frosh and Soph a fee l ing of re-

spect f o r his fellow Hopeites . But if

anyone goes into an interclass sc rap

with a personal g rudge aga i sn t some-

one and lays f o r him, t h a t is a dif-

f e r en t thing. I fail to see how such

a person could derive any th ing f rom

a scrap tha t would add to his school

spi r i t . F . D., '28.

THE RELATION OP CHEMISTRY TO HEALTH

AND DISEASE

\\

i

Health! a freedom from physical disease or pain is granted In full

measure to very few. It is granted to those few only who obey mother na-turn in every turn of life's way, but

It is desired by all. The rich man in his palace upon whom disease and its pains have worked, would give his

millions for the health of the poor

man In the home, who obeys nature and probes its secrets. Thousands, yea millions are daily held merciless-

ly in the grasp of a sickness of one form or another, praying medicine

for a method of quick mitigation.

In the past medicine in comjunctlon

with chemistry has rendered to man-kind Its services. Men over the entire globe having engaged untiringly and

conscientiously In forms of research,

have found methods of not merely al-leviating certain diseases but of en-

tirely anihilating them. Now In fact the majority of ailments are being

cured, but what of those diseases that

have proved terrible and awful enough to challenge medicine for a

curative method all these years? Are they to be looked upon as unfordable

abysses of human misery? Is medi-cine to He Idly by and allow the dis-

eased victims to petition day in and day out from year to year and turn

a deaf ear? No! Research work is now being car-

ried on to bring relief. But research workers are now not only engaged In producing specifics for certain yet

unremedied diseases, but in Improv-ing upon existing medicines and

methods. In this work chemistry is an all Important factor, very potent

Indeed. It Is as a result one of the most noble, unselfish and Idealistic

works In which man can engage. In order to understand the relation

of chemistry to health and disease it will be necessary to consider a few

of the many Instances In which chem-istry has proved itself such a valu-able asset to medical men everywhere.

J i o we ver, before presenting a few of the victories of these two sciences in co-operation it will be necessary to take a brief glance Into the history

of medicine and chemistry. Chemistry and medicine can be

traced, as almost all sciences, In their

elements at least, far back Into an-cient Egypt. . Here In the land of

Cheml, the origin of the name of the modern science, there was, contrary to the general opinion, a close rela-

tion between Chemistry and Medicine. Here In the temples the priests exper-imented with simple chemicals to

manufacture medicines. For many centuries chemistry and medicine con-tinued in this relation to each other until in the early part of the 16th century the great physician and chem-ist Paracelsus stated that "The true purpose of chemisrty Is not to make gold but to prepare medicine." As a

result of this conception he Introduc-ed into the medical science the use of mercury, lead, sulphur, iron, arsenic and laudunum,—some of the most highly valued modern drugs. In spite of this protest made by Paracelsus,

chemistry drifted away from medi-cine to make gold from baser ele-ments and later to create riches by

applications to occupations. Never-theless, signalizing the m o d e m re-turn of chemistry to the service of medicine we have chemistry's gift of Louis Pastuer to medicine. It can not be denied that Pastuer was one of the greatest benefactors to manklni

that ever lived. What now are some of the many

problems In which chemistry can co-

operate with men of medlcinoito com-

bat suffering? The human body In Its complex ar-

rangement and In the many Intricate chemical reactions going on is in itself a minutely constructed chemical

laboratory, since chemists have found the so-called enzymes, which act as catalytic agencies In changing our food material into cell-life, of which all life is composed, and finally Into the energy required In each In-

dividual's dally work and battle

against disease. Therefore, when the

body becomes diseased or In an un-healthy condition, the chemist knows

that somewhere In some way the har-monious chemical reactions have been

destroyed or Impaired. Since as yet very little is known of these changes which take place in the body, an im-

mense field is opened for chemists t.o work in. True, there are many factors which enter into these chemical changes, but of all the means by

which these changes may be dealt with, physics and chemistry have proved to be the outstanding. Very

many of the disorderly and impaired

chemical actions are due to a mal-ad-justment of the time factor. Therefore the physico-chemical reactions In the

body are ever Increasing factors of Importance. How many of us for In-

stance have not at one time or an-other experienced pain and sickness due to Improper speed In the Intes-

tinal actions,—the enzymes from the different glands not arriving In time.

Physical chemistry, then, we see is indispensable to a fair consideration of the problem of Indigestion. View-

ing the future the prospect indeed is glorious, since we have the assurance

of the presence of such a far-seeing,

exact, and accurate help-mate to

medicine.

In analyzing our food-stub's, chem-

istry has again contributed wehly to the sustenance of health ^Tid the bar-ring of disease. Building upon the

fundamental works of the chemist, Kmil Fischer, w ho has opened the gates for all the more recent work on

carbohydrate metabolism and its pathological variations as found in diabetes, medicine Is able to give to humanity some very necessary Infor-

mation. Chemistry has, for Instance, shown us the necessity of adding to

our meals such food stuffs as vegeta-bles and dairy products, for the chem-ist has proved that the socalled vit-

amins are present in these and simil-ar foods and that these vitamins are

indespensable to our health. By al-lowing our meals to have a suitable variety we can obtain these vitamins which strengthen our bodies against

diseases known as beri-beri and scur-vy. Moreover, chemistry did not stop

when the sources of these vitamins were found, but chemists, untiring

and thorough workers as they are, have actually succeeded In Isolating

the vitamins themselves so that they may be more readily procured. Here

again, chemistry has not only showed us the possibility of literally starving

with an abundance of food at hand

but provided us at the same time with the necessary knowledge and means of overcoming diseases of such

a nature.

Another field in which chemistry

has aided medicine is the study of the glands of internal secretion. The

recognition of the importance of the secretions of several of these glands is due to a large extent to chemistry. ChemistS have succeeded in isolating

the active specifics of a number of these glands, and then when there is a marked deficit in the secretions of these glands evidenced by outward

appearances, the isolated medium can be taken or administered artificially

as a medicine. Epenephrlne, or adre-

nalin, one of the most interesting of these specifies was brought to light by a series of studies and researche;-*. First Schafer and Oliver, Syzmonowuz and Cabulski noted the presence of a

vaso-constrlctor principle In the su-pra-renal glands, situated in man above the kidneys. Soon after Profes-sor Abel of Johns Hopkins University succeeded in isolating this principle, adrenalin or epinephrine. In the form of.a derlvltlve and prepared a number

of salts of this derivative. Later J. Takamlne precipitated the pure prin-

ciples Itself by means of ammonia and later still the chemical structure of the compound was discovered so that now this very Important speci-fic can actually be widely manufac-tured, since the patent thereon h i s been withdrawn. This substance, a product of modern chemistry. Is used extensively In medicine to allay those

terrible spasms of coughing which oc-

THE ANCHOR

cur In acute chronchlal asthma. It Is used also to stop minor hemorrhages and Is an effective heart stimulant. Epinephrine also sustains the heart In operative cases and when Injected

In the treatment of pneumonia strengthens the body to such an ex-

tent as to be better able to combat the ravages brought about In the body by these diseases. Thyroxin, the Iso-lated principle of the thyroid gland,

If administered as a medicine will gradually cause the mind to become normal. In this way medicine, by

having called Into Its ranks the mod-ern chemists. Is now able to wrest persons from a state of cretinism to their proper place In the world!

Carrying on this discussion of the relation of chemistry to health and

disease, we could cite many more In-

stances similar to those above. But In order to bring the Importance of

chemistry In this connection Into full

light, let us for a moment consider

the Influence of chemists In attack-

ing the problem of the specific remedy

for the specific disease quite inde-

pendantly from any compounds that

nature has supplied.

Arsphenemlne, "COG" or sabarsan, is the greatest instance of this kind.

It was prepared by Ehrllch as the result of a systematic effort to pre-

pare a drug that would kill the in-vading germs, the sperochetes of

syphylis, without injury to the pati-ent. Dr Ehrllch In all his work was

characterized by the application of chemistry to his problems. The very

name "COG" indicates how he gradu-ally accomplished his purpose using

first one substance of a definite known molecular structure, then an-other, until, seeing improvement

ahead, he modified first this and then that of the structure of his mole-cules, until finally complete success

was accomplished after 605 imper-fect results. The vast importance of

this chemo-medical triumph is evi-

dent when we note that "GOC'i and later developed drugs of the same kind, properly used, are specific

cures for the disease known as syphi-lis and that this disease is so wide-spread that in the United States alone

there are some ten million cases of it in Its various stages and dread se-

quels.

Leprosy, the scourge of the tropics,

has been treated for the last sixty-

five years with a substance known as Chaulmoogra oil. This oil was known

by its effect to possess curative prop-

erties, but was an irritating, nauseat-ing, natural product. A positive and

signal advance was made when the clean pure acids, which possessed the

curing ability, were isolated by chem-ists and combined with ethyl alcohol,

forming a new drug which could be used hypodermically. Statistics have

lately proved that this substance, when administered to lepers, has

actually cured a number of them. Here also, although a better medica-ment Is looked for, we have already

an effective remedy for one of the most hopeless and terrible diseases, —a result of the active co-operation

of medicine and chemistry.

From the fore-going Instance of the

Isolation of the active principle in

Chaulmoogra oil It Is evident of what high Importance It Is to Isolate the

active principles of certain serums and medicines In order to obtain the purest and best medicament, so that

patients may be able to take sufficient quantities to combat the existing germs of the specific diseases. In this respect also, medicine needs the aid of chemistry In bringing about the cure of many dreaded and horrible

diseases. Cocaine, a product of nature, was early known to possess anaesthe-tic properties, but the presence of . other poisonous atoms In the mole-cule of cocaine which Is mad up en-tirely of 43 atoms, prohibited the free use of It. Chemistry, nevertheless, succeeded In finding the structure of this molecule, and found that only part of the molecule was effective In producing the desired result. By Iso-lating the active principle and by further painstaking research we have today very effective anaesthetics, which, administered to patients,

makes modern surgery possible. Bearing In mind all these Instances
