Potts, of the class of 1918, is now taking a post grad- uate course in surgery in Frank- furt Am Main, Germany. He grad- "^uated from Rush Medical in 1925, and before going to Germany, prac- ticed in Oak Park, Illinois. The fol- lowing letter was received from him by his brother Everett, now attending Hope. Frankfurt Am Main Nienstrenier Strasse 10 Germany Feb. 24, 1931. Dear Everett: Thank you for the Anchors. It is always a pleasure to get the school paper and learn what is go- ing on at the old stamping ground. I want to tell you about the most interesting thing I have seen in Germany liapier fighting, or "Schlager fechten" between the university fraternities. You have often read, as I have, about^the sabre cuts in the cheeks of the German students, but to see them being made is a sight one never forgets. First, let me explain about the fraternities, or corps, as they are called here. They are formed of groups of students very much as at home with secret signs of recog- nition, their own houses, etc. The main feature of their union, how- ever, is rapier fighting. Approx- imately fifty per cent of the boys belong to these and all of them must fight at least three times during the first two years at school or lose their membership. Formerly, the fights or "Meu- surs" were more or less open to recognized friends, but recently, be- cause of the opposition that has arisen against them spectators have ^ been barred. Thro the diplomatic purchase of some of the beverage for which Munich is famous, I ob- tained an invitation to see a Men- sur. We had to go out of Frank- furt to a suburb because of a law "that makes rapier fighting within the dty limits illegal. At seven o'clock Friday morning, Herr Hocknenbri&ch and 1 went to (Continued on Back Page) Last Thursday and Friday, April, 2 and 3, a group of Hope represen- tatives went to Evanston to the poetry speaking contest sponsored by the Northwestern University. The contest was divided into the three classes of blank verse, sonnet and ballad. Professor Deckard Hit- ter won second place in the ballad class, and Justin Van der Kolk took third place in the sonnet class. We are proud of both of these records toid especially so of Mr. Hitter's. When he entered the auditorium, he found the names of professors listed as contestants. Upon inquir- ing, he found that instructors were allowed to participate in the con- test. Mr. Hitter gained permission to enter it, and with only an hour to prepare, learned the baljiul which won him second place. He is to be congratulated, too, because the man who took first, Mr. Flieschman of the University of Michigan Speecn Department, won first place in the final contest of the winners of the blank verse, sonnet, and ballad classes. Mr. Van der Koik's success can- not be called anything but remark- able, since he competed with pro- fessors of long speaking experience and he was a greater favorite with the audience than the judges' deci- sion would indicate. Dr. Nykerk and Philip Engel were the other Hope representa- tives. In an effort to prevent wholesale cutting of classes and chapel ex- ercises, the faculty has taken meas- ures to enforce more stricty the ab- sence rules which were adopted February 1, 1929. All excuses must be obtained from either thf Dean of Men or the Dean of Women, and <io student will be allowed in class following an absence without such an excuse. Nine chapel absences that are unexcused will result in the loss of one credit hour. The regular absence rules now in ef- fect are as follows: Hope College Rules Regarding Ab- sences Adopted Feb. 1st, 1929 Chapel and Class Absences shall I e treated on the same basis and as cf equal weight. 1. Excuses shall be granted only for:—Personal illness, family ill- ness, nurse duty on or off the cam- pus with other students or with family, common carrier delays (not personal automobile delays except in case of storm), activities absen- ces approved by the Committee on Student Direction or like Commit- tee. 2. All excuscd absences shall be cancelled, with or without make-up, at the discretion of the instructor involved. Full faculty support shall be given all instructors Who may require make-up. 3. Unexcused absences shall be counted full class-room failure for the period vacated, and in addition shall be treated as noted in rule five.

FRED WYN- GARTEN SECOND Final Contest at Pi Kappa Delta Conclave on April 16 and 17 " In its regular weekly meeting on Friday afternoon the Student Vol- unteer Band reviewed the chapter on the Missionary's Relations to the Home Church, from Brown's "The Fqreign Missionary." Mildred Klow had charge of the song service and devotional period, and Laura Guigelaar of the review. A lively discussion of the topic fol- lowed, evincing many practical ways and means in which Student Volunteers may create a more vital interest in the missionary project in their local churches. The organization is resuming its deputation work. ^Sunday evening a representation went to Overisel to conduct an evening service. Martha Vanderberg led the devotional ex- ercises and introduced the group, Leonard Hogenboom gave the main message of the evening, Alva Eb- bers supplied the special music, and Bernice Mollema was accompanist Last Thursday evening was the occasion of Hope's first attempt for many season* in the field of extem- poraneous speaking. At that time an elimination contest was held which resulted in a first place award for Mr. Justin VanderKolk of the Senior class. Mr. Vander Kolk will represent Hope at the bi-annual provincial convention of the Pi Kappa Delta Forensic Fraternity to be held at Bowling Green, Ohio, this week. The topics spoken on at the elimination contest here last Thursday all came under the gen- eral subject "Modern Advertising," which is also to be the subject at Bowling Green. The topic chosen by Mr. Vander Kolk as his peculiar feature was "The Future of Newspaper and Magazine Advertising." Mr. Fred Wyngarden, who was awarded sec- ond place spoke on "The Advertis- ing Problems of the Small Con- cern." Others who participate in the contest were Mr. Howard Schade, who spoke on "The Nature of Radio Advertising," and Mr. Roger Leestma, who treated the "Esthetics of Advertising." The contest last Thursday was judged by three members of the faculty. Everyone was pleased and delighted with the splendid per- formance. o Rev. Rynbrandt Gives Talk at Divinity Guild HINKAMP AND SNOW SECURE PIANO FOR GUILD ROOM At 4:15 on Wednesday afternoon, the Divinity Guild met with Melvin Dole in charge of devotions and Rev. Abraham Rynbrandt of the Fifth Reformed Church of Grand Rapids as the speaker of the after- noon. Rev Rynbrandt spoke upon the subject, "Why I Stay in the Ministry." He gave as the by-prod- ucts which attract him to stay in the ministry the opportunity for service, the confidences which enter into the experience of the minister, the steady work, the possibility of making a decent living, the oppor- tunity for mental growth, and the opportunity for cultural growth; and he gave as the pnme products which compel him to stay in the ministry the opportunity of the minister to be the recipient of a greater portion of the working- of the Holy Spirit than the average layman, the responsibility that comes to the minister, the fuller opportunity to enter into the prayer life, and the opportunity of being the channel through which the Holy Spirit reaches other sinners. Rev. Rynbrandt told many interest- ing personal experiences that have come to him in his ministry, and he stressed particularly the need for "a wholesome, evangelistic note/ . . Prof. Hinkamp's surprise for the Guild was a piano which he and Prof. W. Curtis Snow secured for the Guild's room. The Guild voted to bear the expense of recondition- ing the piano. At this week's meeting, Prof. Hinkamp will complete his lecture on the manuscripts of the Bible. Some of the most interesting slides are included in this half of the lecture. All are invited to attend.

In its regular weekly meeting on Friday afternoon the Student Vol-unteer Band reviewed the chapter on the Missionary's Relations to the Home Church, from Brown's "The Fqreign Missionary."

Mildred Klow had charge of the song service and devotional period, and Laura Guigelaar of the review. A lively discussion of the topic fol-lowed, evincing many practical ways and means in which Student Volunteers may create a more vital interest in the missionary project in their local churches.

The organization is resuming its deputation work. ̂ Sunday evening a representation went to Overisel to conduct an evening service. Martha Vanderberg led the devotional ex-ercises and introduced the group, Leonard Hogenboom gave the main message of the evening, Alva Eb-bers supplied the special music, and Bernice Mollema was accompanist

Las t Thursday evening was t he occasion of Hope's first a t t emp t f o r many season* in the field of extem-poraneous speaking.

Rev. Rynbrandt Gives Talk at

Divinity Guild HINKAMP A N D SNOW SECURE

PIANO FOR GUILD ROOM

At 4:15 on Wednesday afternoon, the Divinity Guild met with Melvin Dole in charge of devotions and Rev. Abraham Rynbrandt of the Fif th Reformed Church of Grand Rapids as the speaker of the after-noon. Rev Rynbrandt spoke upon the subject, "Why I Stay in the Ministry." He gave as the by-prod-ucts which attract him to stay in the ministry the opportunity for service, the confidences which enter into the experience of the minister, the steady work, the possibility of making a decent living, the oppor-tunity for mental growth, and the opportunity for cultural growth; and he gave as the pnme products which compel him to stay in the ministry the opportunity of the minister to be the recipient of a greater portion of the working- of the Holy Spirit than the average layman, the responsibility that comes to the minister, the fuller opportunity to enter into the prayer life, and the opportunity of being the channel through which the Holy Spirit reaches other sinners. Rev. Rynbrandt told many interest-ing personal experiences that have come to him in his ministry, and he stressed particularly the need for "a wholesome, evangelistic n o t e / „ . .

Prof. Hinkamp's surprise for the Guild was a piano which he and Prof. W. Curtis Snow secured for the Guild's room. The Guild voted to bear the expense of recondition-ing the piano.

A t this week's meeting, Prof. Hinkamp will complete his lecture on the manuscripts of the Bible. Some of the most interesting slides are included in this half of the lecture. All are invited to attend.

Congratulations

While the abrupt and busi-ness-like way in which the faculty is settling the absence problem has scared and out-raged some of the more guilty students, the majority greet this action as a hopeful sign of awakening, and trust that it is but the first of a series of decisive movements that will scare the college out of its more or less prevalent indif-ference to certain aspects of collegiate life. Only clearly de-fined and strictly enforced pol-icies can be expected to hold the respect of the student body. Certainly, adherence to the policy of doing what is best for the college will always af-fect a certain nurriber of indi-viduals unpleasantly, but the disadvantage is fa r outweigh-ed by the attendant good. If every issue were as sharply drawn as the ne wabsence rul-ing, there would be more holy awe among the students for the power of the institution. The altruistic, or the "Well, he's a good fellow" attitude may keep us all in school, but at what a price to the altruis-tic Alma Mater.

This time the faculty^ ap-parently means what it says, and we are glad of it.

Keep the Pledge!

Memories of one more suc-cessful social event have been added to the diaries of Hope College students and teachers. Once more all have been to-gether to revel in the atmos-phere of friendship and good-will which exists between the teachers and the students and among the members of each respective group. Once more students have been rewarded for outside activities and other special efforts. One more all-college banquet has been a genuine success.

Much of the praise, un-toubtedly goes to the Associa-tion Union who made the ar-rangements through its com-mittees, and much praise goes to the chairman of the even-i n g and to the toastmaster, a n d t o the speaker, each of I

whom entertained delightful-ly. But much also goes to the instructors and students who attended in large numbers, happy, and in a fine, co-opera-tive mood. Had any of these things been lacking the ban-quet would not have been so unquestionable a success, v If there is anything we should keep as a memory of the banquet besides the letters, the pins, the jokes, and tne other rewards, it should be a pledge on our par t that each of us will t ry and try hard to be more often in such a happy, confident, co-operative mood as we were that evening. With the realization that we owe each other earnest effort and thorough respect, will come good results for the school. Let's keep the pledge, then. The greatness of the new lies a f t e r all, in the appreciation of the pioneer efforts of the old. The greatness of the old lies in the appreciation of the possibilities of the new. The greatness of all lies in recipro-cal appreciation tha t leads through respect for others to self-respect. Let's keep the pledge, then; let's keep the pledge!

Delphi—The Delphi society gave an interesting and amusing pro-gram Friday evening entitled "En-gine No. 9 on Delphi Line"— a train program. A quar te t singing "Dream Train" and "Working on the Railroad," fittingly opened the program. The " t raveler" was Jean Hinkin, who told us all the advan-tages and disadvantages of travel-ling.

Hazel Paalman, the "Whistle," sang two lovely numbers. Julia Walvoord took the society on the Observation Car—giving current events of cities far and near. Steam was given off by Anne Buth, in the form of a humorous paper, "Trains or What Have You." The Caboose brought the program to an end—a humorous skit in which L. Hollebrands, M. Den Herder and 15. Welling acted.

At a tea Wednesday afternoon, March 18, the following officers for the Spring Term were elected: Marian De Kuiper, president; Es-ther Mulder, vice president; Mari-an Sluyter, secretary; and Jean Hinken, t reasurer .

Sunlamps are 0 popular feature of the swimming pool at Hotel St. George, Brooklyn, N. Y.

)LLEGE-TRAINED electrical engineers cooperated with the medical profession in developing G-E products that safeguard health. Notable among these are the x-ray tube, the G-E refrigerator, and the G-E • Sunlamp. Of these three, the Sunlamp is the latest development, but it has already been acclaimed for its service in helping build that vitality which maintain^ the happiness of good health.

At Cornell University, members of "cold - prevention classes" (under daily, brief, ultra-violet-ray lamp treatments) reported 40 per cent less colds than were reported b y class-

GENERAL

mates in a group without this treatment. ' Beyond home and college, the use of Sun-lamps has extended to swimming pools and indoor golf courses. In the future, you may enjoy the Sunlamp as a standard fixture in offices, trains, clubs, and many other places where people gather.

And you may continue to expect new, unusual, and useful develop-ments from G-E engineering and re-search. Among such products, there will doubtless be further contribu-tions to personal health, comfort, and convenience, as well as to the promotion of industrial efficiency.

Dorian—Friday evening the Dori-ans met in their room for their usual meeting. The meeting was opened with a song service which was Jed by Katharine Fredericks, a f te r which devotions were led by Ann Edwards, Margaret Kens gave an interesting news report, which proved to be very beneficial as col-lege students have so little time for the reading of newspapers. Lillian Sabo read an original humor paper on "Spr ing Fever" in which she emphasized especially the different types of the fever. After the pro-gram, the meeting was given over to a social time.

o Sibylline — Friday evening the

Sibyls held their weekly meeting. The program, following the busi-ness meeting, was short and rather impromptu.

A short story by Margaret Stek-etee, a piano duet by Ruth and Esther Glerum, a paper on the

|ancient Sibyl in her cave at Cumae | read by Nella De Haan.

Tillie Masselink, who is now wearing a "fore ign" pin delighted her Sibyl sisters with a delicious treat of ice cream and angel-food cake. /

Hope Van Landegend, a former Sib, now at tending the University of Michigan, surprised the mem-bers by visiting the meeting.

0— Sorosis—"Pins" was the, theme

carried out in the Sorosis meeting last Fritjay evening. The programs were clever on pin cushions from which a pin had to be pulled in o#der to learn each number. Devo-tions were impressively led by Sor-osite Hudson. The 2nd number was an educational number on pins by Sorosite Helen Smith. Representing the two types of pins, Sorosite Her-man and Van Peursem gave a* clev-er number entitled "Pinheads" which consisted of songs and ^'pin pricks" at various members of the society. As the humorous paper of the evening Sorosite Dethmers read a paper on "Fraternity Pins." An original skit "Pin Cushions" was

cleverly acted by Sorosites Bosman, Verduin, and Dethmers. From out of the pincushion was next drawn a tap dance by Sorosite Slowinski. An account of a t r ip out Eas t by Hester Pellegrom with a surprising style show concluded the evening program of the Sorosites.

The Addisons met Fri-

ADDISON day to begin the third

and most interesting chapter in the year 's work. John Knglesman and John Cotts made a good team to lead in singing the old favorites. An inspiring inaug-ural by Presdent Catherinus Net-tinga made a peppy atmosphere for the other numbers. The Mandate System in Mesopotamia as present-ed by Abraham Norman showed the faulty reports the British have been giving. "On the Road to Man-dolay," was sung in the rich bass tones peculiar to Henry Englesman. It was a new setting for Kipling's verse. Harold Billingham's prom-enade revealed the funny side of our campus. Having sung the books to pieces, and having gained a de-sire for new ones, it was decided to send the musician a f t e r some. A base ball captain was elected, ac-couterment provided, and the volun-teer fighters gathered to make a record team.

j Fraternal—Once again the Fra-1 ters assembled ^t the Fraternal House after a most successful vaca-tion according to most reports. A fine program was presented with Frater Beaver starting. His paper was "Steinmetz, t h e ' Wizard of Electricity." Frater Schade sang beautifully two negro spirituals. A stunt in charge of Frater Chris Walvoord provided the humor for the evening and Frater Tysse wound up the program with an ex-cellent paper on "Unemployment and some Remedies."

In the business meeting Secre-tary Fox read a letter of thanks that the society received from China. They thanked us for the tulips that Frater "Fuzzy" Wal-voord sent down to them during his term as gardner last year. Frater

"Fuzzy" always was a generous

soul and he wanted to do his little

par t for the enlightenment of the

poor Chinamen.

Fra te r Dekker was appointed

manager of the Fraternal tennis

team and he will be hot on the trail

of some matches.

Knickerbocker—The Knicks held their first meeting a f te r vaction on Friday night. Lew Scudder led an enthusiastic song service, and Bruce Van Leeuwen did a fine bit of solo work.

The first number on the program was a discussion of the Wickersham Report by Harold De Windt. A cur-rent events paper by George Paint-er followed. Earl Miller played two numbers on his sax, and Joe Harms concluded the program with a clev-er humor paper. A short business meeting followed the program, and then the fellows adjourned to cho-sen amusements.

Phi Kappa Alpha—After all the fellows have once more returned, having been scattered in all direc-tions so that they covered an area of half the width of the continent, and all the stories of Wisconsin blizzards have been told tind re-told, the f ra te rn i ty has settled down to the last lap of the school year.

The regular meeting was held Friday night at the Hall. Pres. Leenhouts presented a masterful inaugural address and then an-nounced the following numbers: A violin solo "With a Modern Mo-tive" by Les Serier; "Hidden Treas-ures," a dissertation of a scientific nature by Cell De Jonge; and a humor number "Tit for Dat" by Harry Zegarius. >•

After the regular meeting the best number of all was presented by Harry Friesema in the form of treats so that once for all the ru-mor which has been floating over the campus could be settled.

For two months now the signa-ture of Will Rogers has not ap-jieared in any adds for either to-mato-juice, tobacco-juice, tooth-picks, false teeth, hair oil, or wigs. His humor seems to have lost its foreign tang, too, since he stopped eating Spanish onions.

But that 's enough for a few min-utes on the horn; the battery must be running low. I have in hand my fountain pen, which I call my ink-convenience and have started to look for material. This title, "The

j Scientific Boxer," appeals to me, but I can't decide whether the hero ought to be a fighter or an under-taker. In either case, he ought to be a good friend of the doctor. Nor can I continue my story of the moral uplift of the jacV, for the jack broke last week. Someone asked me to l if t the family mort-gage and the family social stand-ing with it. That car was too heavy. And since the Anchor has printed this year's valedictory al-ready I won't overshadow it by writing mine. My only hope then is to tell you something concerning that august body—The U. S. Sen-

] ate.

As you all know, perhaps, the 1 Senate is made up of senators. A senator is a man who works him-self into a lather when the maid sweeps the dirt under the stove be-fore she goes home. But my, what he won't sweep under the sena-torial beer-barrel. The senators' conviction is usually a matter of how much and when, and his inter-est lies more with girth control than with birth control. His sal-ary amounts to $4.80 a day. It is the only instance where mass-pro-duction has not boosted wages.

Give me a moment to describe to you how the senate chamber looks rom the gallery. The first impres-

sion one gets is. that it is an old adies' home. No, the senators

aren't old. The secretaries are old-Besides these young ladies

lowing are a few motions which my party would like to have adopted:

"Act I. We cannot make the coming generation rise to heights unknown by calling it down.

Act II. The writer who lamented i the passing of the old time parlor magicians ought to be severely reprimanded. He seems to have forgotten that now more than ever parlors are filled with neck-roman-cers.

Act III. Scientists who are seek-ing raw . materials for synthetic-rubber should be advised to try the congressional conscience.

Act IV. The government must be persuaded to 2 cent stamps.

Act V. General Butler should be informed that only newspaper col-umnists can call Mussolini names.

Act VI. College students should be informed that they can write their best themes in restaurant? waiting for 3 minute eggs.

Act VII. In honor of the Demo-crats it should be announced that they want to use the drought relief fund to feed the starving Repub-licans."

er. * here are a few more obstacles

standing about in the form of dust-covered, individual desks, each with one chair. Every afternoon af te r the senators get up, the pres-ident of the Senate assigns to each desk one Republican and one Dem-" ocrat. For exercise, these then have a little set-to. The one who gets knocked out has to sit on the floor and be a back stop for the spittoon. And until dinner time his partner sure does him dirt.

These senators are queer ducks. It seems that their interests have no limits. Often, like the proverb-ial cat, they are triumphantly led into the pearly gates by their curi-osity. Luckily senators do not have seven lives. The papers recently told of one smoke-screener who was electrocuted when he made electric light bills his campaign is-sue. Another wrote a report on the three ages of American men—pet, petting, and petty. Senator Norris In an excuse for inactivity said that he is only carrying out the Repub-lican platform. We hope he is carrying it to the dump. But most

Early in the spring before the advent of soft, lazy days, and while the brisk winds are still whipping in from the northwest, the track men of Hope begin their workouts for the meets of May and June. While the less hardy of the student body peek out at them from the up-turned collars of overcoats or from behind the glass of closed windows, they trot about and exercise vig-orously, building muscle and en-durance for a few future moments of effort and strain. The track man must compete for the love of the sport, for his success lies in the hardest of work and his efforts are rarely appreciated.

This year, under the captaincy of Lewis Scudder, broad-jumper and weight man, a green but determin-ed group of athletes are training! faithfully for interscholastic com-petition. The results of their work depend on the interest and encour-agement of the student body. Those out for distance races are Reardon, half mile; Meyer, two mile; Zeger-ius, mile and Koeppe. Wyngarden is handing the shot, Tysse the high jump, discus, and javelin, and Scud-der the broadjump, discus and jav-elin. Men for the dashes are badly needed as Ito is the only one show-ing ability along this line. There are plenty of Hope men with track ability, who could be developed by hard work into real stars. I t ' s not too late to come o u t Let's revive enthusiasm for the old" classic sport.

Western State Takes First

Baseball Game HOPE SHOWS UP VERY WELL

AGAINST STRONG KAZOO TEAM

The opening college baseball game played in the s ta te resulted in a 7-0 victory by Western State Teachers College over Ihe Hope nine. The contest was played at Kalamazoo last Friday afternoon.

The veteran team of Coach Juddy Hyames found Hope to be a strong defensive team but ra ther weak with the bat. During the nine in-nings the Schoutenmen registered but one hit, and tha t was a single by Captain Dutch Poppink. The Teachers found Poppink for eight bingles.

As it was the first game for Hope and the team has had only a week of practice, Coach Schouten is hopeful tha t the baseball nine will accomplish big things this year. Only a minimum ^mount of strike-outs were scored in the Hope ledger, but the fellows could not hit safely.

Black pitched five innings for the

winners, and then captain Hi Pray took the mound for the remaining four. The Kalamazoo hits were aid-ed by three errors on the part of the Hope fielders in compiling the score.

Hope's next game is with Michi-gan State College a t Eas t Lansing April 23. As only the larger col-leges have baseball, Hope is forced to meet the best teams in the s ta te coming f rom the larger schools. Last spring Western State defeated Wisconsin, Big Ten champs.

ALUMNI LETTER FROM GERMANY

DESCRIBES DUELS (Continued from Page 1)

Oberad to the matches between his Corps—Germania and Frisia. We

!came to a large room, not a f r a -j ternity house, but a deserted hall where preparations were already under way. One Corps was group-ed in each end of the long hall and,

j except for the necessary formal arrangement for the fights, no word was spoken or sign of recog-nition passed between the men of different groups. Each man wore the insignia of his corps—a brightly colored cap and girdle. It took about fifteen minutes to get the two boys padded and ready for the first engagement. Fi rs t a heavy-padded leather jacket covering shoulders and chest was strapped on. Then a long, soft , padded, leather band was wrapped around the neck well up to the chin to protect the jugulars. The right arm from shoulder to hand was protected in a similar way. A pair of heavy, open, steel goggles pro-jecting about one inch from the face to protect the eyes were strapped on and buckled behind the head. The s t raps passed across the upper half of the ears to keep them from being snipped off. The men are ready and except for the eyes and the upper half of the ears, the entire head is exposed.

The rapiers are brought out. The shivers played t ag up and down my spine when I saw them. These are swords with narrow, tapering, steel blades three feet long, sharpened at the ends on both sides for about ten inches. Around the handle is a large round, steel guard about six-inches in diameter. It is used to ward oil the blows. The contest-ants, one from each corps, are given their rapiers and stationed facing each other about three feet apart . The umpire stands off a bit with a score pad. The surgeon, usually one of the assistants from the surgical department , and an old corps man, s tands by. It is his duty to stop the fight if one of the boys is too badly cut or loses too much blood to continue the match, and to sew up ail wounds a f te r the fight is over.

Each man has a second from his own corps who stands at his own man's side. These men are protect-ed with steel wire helmets and pad-ding, and it is their duty to s ta r t and stop the fight at regular in-tervals. They each have a long dull rapier with which they hold high those of the contestants until the signal is given to s tar t , and with which they can stop the fight instantly by thrus t ing it in the way of the fighter's weapon.

The fight is on, the men all stand around in a circle. The fighters are as tense as fiddle strings. The seconds hold the rapiers up and simultaneously shout, " H o c h P Clash, Clang! Clash, Clang! four times the boys strike at each other 's heads. The second jump In and with their own weapons stop the blades of the contestants lest in their eagerness one should de-liver an ext ra blow to an opponent who has lowered his weapon. The surgeon steps up to see whether any great damage has been done. If not the bat t le goes on.

You ask, what prevents these fellows f rom cutt ing each other 's heads off.—The guards on the handle of the rapier. The blows must be delivered f rom above downward. There may be no whacking at one another's face from the side, but just the do ward stroke. Consequently the

blows fall upon the guard and in-juries are received only from re-bounds of the blade.

A Mensur consists of f o r t y "Par te i , " a partei being a series of four strokes. How would you like to have someone take one hundred and sixty cracks a t your head?

The fight goes on. Again and again the boys step up into posi-tion; the command, "Hoch," is given and each time four clanging blows descend. A f t e r the eighth "Pa r t e i " I saw something red run-ing down one lad's cheek. Af te r the fort ieth "Par te i " had been fought a few of the red s t reaks had reached his shoes. The surgeon took him to his end of the room and sewed up, without anaestetic, of course, two cuts in the cheek and one in the scalp. The victor got only a scratch on the forehead.

During the forenoon there were seven matches. The little fellow in the third match had a branch of the temporal a r te ry cut and had to give up the fight. He wouldn't have quit, however, if the surgeon had-n't interfered. The winners are chosen by the umpire on the basis of technique of fighting and self-defense. Between engagements the boys sit around and drink some beer and discuss the fine points of "Schlager fechten" no attention is paid to the wounded comrades. They just sit up on a s t ra ight backed chair and get sewed up and bandaged up. Af te r that they watch the rest of the performances with keen pleasure.

You say, as anyone who hasn't grown up in this student atmos-phere says, "what barbarism!" They don't feel that way about it at all. They love it and claim tha t it is a less dangerous sport than boxing or football as it is played in America.

To me tiie most interesting feat-ure is the psychology of it all. There is this rule which absolutely may not be broken—the contest-ants may not move their heads to avoid a blow. If one does, the match is lost at once, and if it hap-pens again in a later match the member is dismissed from the corps. In other words this is what "Schlager fechten" amounts to— fight like a man and take your punishment without wincing. That feature must have a tremendous influence on these young fellows from 18 to 20 years old. I saw one boy sit up on his chair for one half hour without batting an eye while the surgeon sewed up a num-ber of cuts. These fellows really enjoy the sport and are proud of their scars. It is not uncommon
