JOHN FIELD 'IS SPEAKER

Urges Men To Play Cleanly toSecure Recognition by

The M. I. T. A. A.

More than 60 fellows, every one ofwhom were brim full of enthusiasm,reported at the meeting in room 10-270 on Wednesday afternoon for thepurpose of reorganizing a Beaver base-ball team. It was one of the largeststudent groups that has ever turnedout for any single Institute sport andmore than fulfilled the highest hopesof any of the baseball enthusiasts atTechnology.

John H. Field '27, president of theM. I. T. A. A., opened the meeting witha few introductory remarks concerningthe great need for a Varsity nine. Herenilftded the fellows of the attemptof a few years ago to organize a team.and how the professional playing ofone of the nine had instantly ruinedall chances of al official college squad.He stressed the fact that if there wasto be a "Beaver" nine organized thisyear it would necessarily have to com-ply with all Technology amateur ath-letic rulings in order to be recognizedby the M. I. T. A. A.

For the present at least no Varsityteam can be formed. Field showedthat it was imperative for the playersthemselves to organize, form a nine,

"All engineering courses are linkedin a common foundation of abstractscience, and the student of engineer-ing should direct his attention to themastery of general scientific princi-ples," said Robert S. Ball '91 of theFaculty of Engineering of the Univer-sity of Cambridge, England, speakingyesterday afternoon to an audience ofreshmen on "The Study Of Principles."

Mr. Ball warned against taking pres-ent demands or possible pecuniary re-wards as a guide in choosing any par-ticular engineering course. The fun-damental principles of science arecommon to all branches of engineer-ing, and a thorough knowledge ofthese principles gives to the person soequipped a great advantage over theian whose training is restricted to

the details of one particular phase ofengineering, he stated. Most of thebenefit of a scientific education is lostif too much time is spent o~is detailsrather than on the underlying prin-ciples, for the details of any industrymay easily be learned by the man withthe proper scientific training.

In addition to a sound scientifictraining, the speaker emphasized thenecessity of a cultural education.'The employer of today wants a nill

the police should receive every co-operation in their laudable purpose ofguiding uls in our choice of books. Inorder to do my part, I propose to sug-gest a list of volumes which they haveapparently overlooked, and the saleof which should be stopped at once.

First on the list is a certain Hebrewvvolume of which there are transla-tions on sale in almost every book-store, anid which goes under the nameof The Holy Bible. This name is ob-viously a misnomer, for in the veryfirst section I find described such im-moral things as a man with two 'wivesand two concubines ( one of whoml istoo friendly with the son of her lover),a man whlo slays a whole village be-cause one of the women of his familyhas been seduced, and a man whoseincestuous relations when under theinfluence of liquor are horrible to de-scribe. Ill the section called I Kinlgsthere is descl ibed a certain Jezebelwvlo is not at all a nice girl. Andthere are literally hundreds more ofsuch passag1,es, from Potiphar's wifeand Judal's solls to the exhortation ofMlalachli against conjugal sins.

Tllis book<, then, mulst not be sold,lest boys and girls reading it becomecorrupted. I mlllst likewise refuse topermit the sale oL' Sophocles' stor~y ofthe incest of Oedipus which (Horrorof horrors! ) is actulally required read-ing ill the Technology literature op-tiOnl of Sophomlore English. I mustcondemn likewise the works of hiscontemporaries Aescylus and Euri-pides, who tell of unfaithfulness inmarriage and filial murder. And asfor Aristophlanes-he even talks freely(I say it in a whisper) of unnaturalsexual relations.

Chaucer might pass, if I blue-pencilall the best stories (and the best pas-sages in the rest of the stories ). Imight eliminate the grossness fromtShakespeare, but most of the greatness|would disappear too. A lot of Miltonwoulld pass the censor, but what arewe to do with Fielding and Smollettand Sternle? And the very nam~es ofWYcherly and Congreve no self-resp~ect-illg policeman would pronounce.

It seems to me that, without men-tioning any more works, I have shownthat the police have ollly jurst beguntheir task. It would be impossible toname all the bsooles which ought to becensor ed along- with T7i e Har-d-Boile(IVirgi~n and 7177e 3larr7iage Becl. for thelist would include not only a lot ofob)vious ltubbishl but practically all theb~ookts that have been considered -Treat,frorn Gels esi~s down tllroulgh Jud~e tile075ss ule. Mucll as I admire the zealOf: the Boston police, I do not envythem their prospective labor. And be-fore they touch any of the otllers, theyr eally ought to suppress the Areeopfl-gitica.

"SQUEALI NG"

To the Editor of Thle Tech:It has always been our opinion that

.Tech men wvere not without somlemoral scruples in tlle matter of hollor.It appears that in sorne manner in-formnation has been r eleased concern-ing the nature nof the Dormitories' ex-hibits at the Circus. Such "squeal-ing," could only be the result of achildish and malicious attitude on thepart of some hypocritical saint. Suchinformation could only have been re-leased with deliberate intent to causefaculty intervention.

It is hoped that the faculty will ac-cept the spirit of Circus day as usual,and refrain from throwing a wet blan-,ket on our youthful expression of en-thusiasm.

Signed,The Dormitory Circus Committee.

Dartmouth's Forensic Club has pre-dicted the downfall of intercollegiatedebating, alld has been sending outits men ill pairs to present the prob-lern to the Newv En g~land Rotary Clubs.It Points out the scanty audienceswhich usually attend these contests asproof of their contention.

"London," with Dorothy Gish."Paradise for Two," with Richard Dix

(until Saturday).From the disreputable London Lime-

house district to the wealthy homes ofMayfair and back again is the itineraryfollowed by Dorothy Gish in her mostrecent English photoplay success. Sheleaves the slums because her heart issold and returns because her heart isbrok~en. It ends as many stories, Fitlythe "good pal" marrying her.

"Paradise for Two" includes an oldplot modernized a bit. Richard Dix asSteve Porter, a lrich young bachelorand woman hater, must marry or hismoney ill trust wvill not be given tohlin. To fool his insistant uncle heemlploys a girl from a theatrical agen-cy to pass as his wife and of coursefalls in lovre waith heer, not however, be-fore the producer has inserted a fewhumorous "acting" scenes.

R. Simard '28 D. M. Sturznickle '28 TH E MONKEY TALKS

' Tle Monkey Talks," the title ofthe present play at the Repertory The-ater, adapted from the eminently suc-cessful Fr ench play of two years agoby RenC- F auchois, is not at all subtlein its import. There is, to all ap-pearances, as one of the main featuresof the dramna, a monkey, and there aretimes wNhen he speaks amost hulmanly.

The piece itself is characterized bya peculiar themne. It concerns the loveof the owener of a circus, Sam Wicks,a nobleman in disguise by the way.for one of his pretty and pure andlprovincial r ing riders.

Our pseud~o-simianl friend, a man pos-ing as the coulltel feit, has assumedhis present character through intensegratitulde for a lzridndess done hlim bySam Wicks. U~nfortunlately for themental states of those concerned, themonkey also falls deeply in love withthe diminutive individual uponl whomhis master has placed his affection.Since the employer loves his self-sac-rificing monkey and is unwilling tocatlse himl pain, matters complicate.

There alre other complexities pres-ent in the person of another star per-former, a "professional lady," wvho hashad a vulgar caprice with Mr. SamWicks long ago, and embitered his lifethereby-, and whlo, thinking better ofhler dismissal of him as he has grownolder, mzakes trouble in quite anotherrespect.

There are other interests. Rival cir-cus owners wvho envy the phenomenal,simian success exploited in this par-ticular circus and who try by manyinsidious and cowardly means towreak harm upoll him-but everythingends very happily for our heroes, andthe respective villains are speedilyand righteously consigned to the utterignominy they deserve.

The effect in general is rather fan-tastic and for persons interested in theunusual it will be quite amusing andprofitable entertainment

-P~ Two Prifty, Apri 1,1927THE TECH

The breezy balmy breezes of springhave brought many pleasant and un-pleasant things to life this side of theChlarles. Even. the casual paserbyalong Massachusets Avenue could nothelp but notice the ravages of spring.The Lounger has for days ponderedover the condition of the strip of greenalong the saide and the front of Build-ing One. His imagination has beenstretched to the limit. The Loungerfelt at first that the disrupted state of-the turf must have been caused by theearly spring efforts of Will Prescottand his ill-gaged driver for the divotswrere large such as our dear Win wouldbe awont to make this early in the sea-son.

This conclusion had to be abanl-doned, however, because after all Willis a gentlemen and -entlemen alwvaysr eplace their divots very carefully.The Lounger has finallyy derived ananswer which seems to satisfy himquite throughly. Ill all probability Ma-jor Smith reads advertising, and prob-ably in seeing the Carnation Milk ad-vertisements reading "From ContentedCowvs" lie was reminded of his youthand the pleasant song of cowbells. Sowith a touch of sentimentality he hasdirected his men to create at the mostcollspicuous corner, a cow pasture oftgreat comfort to the dumb creatures

which shall attract the cows in largenumbers.

I would seem from present indica-tions that Major Smith had made theplace right popullar with the cows too.The Lounger has heard, however, an-other explanation of the present turf

condition around Bulilding One. It istoo' practical and lacks that senti-

menltal touch wvhich the Major would-live it. But briefly it has been statedthat the Major wvas trying to kill offthe growfith of scattered lots of "witch"g~rass which wvas increasing in the plot

FiKESHMl~AN BASEBALLSQUAD WORKING OUT

First Year Men Report ForEarly Spring Practice

Class Baseball practice alas begunfor the freshman, thereby giving therna two week adantage over the upper-class teams whlich are not exepectedto open their seasons until the middleof next week. The yearling outfit is alively one and appears able to givethe Junliors, last year's cllamps, con-siderable annoyance. Furthel more, -the'28 team has lost its entire infield andmay therefore have to bend to thestrong Senior nine.

Manager Bernhardt, this year, hopesto extend the dura~ionl of tile gamesfrom the traditional five innlinlgs to a'foll ninle innings by starting gamesearlier. The schledul~e has just beencompleted, and wvill start On April 21continuing to May 28. Thliq period wrvasdeemed best because nonle, of theteams can have an opporttlnityr toround into form before Jimnior Weekand because the time after May 2S wvillbe more successfully devoted to finalexams. The diamond to the -East ofBuilding 2 has been abandoned and inits place will be used the one behindthe Coop.

Undergraduates at Cambridge votedthe abolition of woman students there.Tile charges against them wNere that.they "are as double faced as theirancestors," and "Rather thanl grow olda weoman dyes while she is still young,b~ang~les her arms, bingles her hlair, andibullgles her face."

Crimson Strength is UnknownLittle is hlkown about the strength

of the Harvard squad, as previous tothis time the sport was only intra-mural there. It is rumored, however-.that the Crimson outfit is not com-lposed of novices, by any means, andthat the boys from tip the river areDoing to provide real competition, par-ticularly in the lighter divisions. Asfor the Technology men, all are infirst-rate condition, and Tommy Raw-son declares that it is the strongestteam he has ever assembled for onenleet. This shollld provide plenty ofenlcouragrement, as his meagre squiadof' four men ma naged to take thirdplace in the Intercollegiates.

Tickets are on sale today in tile mainlob~by at half perice to all Illstitutemen, altlwoughl ftlll admission -will becharged at the gate. Coaell Rawvsonand the management request a goodturn-out in this first and only local ap-Iuearanlce of the team, and assures thefanes that evel y bout will be fulll ofaction.

Orville B. Denison '11, in aninterview last night enthusiasti-cally said, "Unquestionably theundergraduate circus has be-come a valuable and permanentaddition to the student activi-ties, and in principle and plan Iheartily approve of it. All ad-vance reports which havereached me indicate that thisyear's affair will equal if notsurpass its predecessors. Everystudent owes it to himself to at-tend. My heartiest wishes for acomplete success to the directorsof the Third Annual Undergrad-uate Circus." Denny has con-sented to act as judge at theparade this afternoon, and to-night he will lead a group ofhis classmates and other alumniaround the armory to view theexhibits.

This was the first of a series of fourlectures to be given by Mr. Bali. Hisnext address will be delivered todayat 3 o'clock in room 10-250, when hewill discuss "Engineering Educationin Great Britain." In this talk hewill compare the educational methodsin use in technical schools in Englandand in this country. His third lec-,ture will be given on Tuesday on "Sci-ence as the Foundation of Engineer-ing," and the last talk of the serieswill be delivered Friday, April 8, on"The College System of Education, Ex-plaining Facilities Arranged for Ex-ceptional Students."

FRESHMEN PLANNINGGALA DANCE IN MAY

Freshman section leaders decided attheir meeting yesterday that, pendinga favorable report from the investigat-ing committee, the class will hold aformal dance on May 13 for which allstudents will be invited to purchasetickets.

In doing this, the class of 1930 is at-tempting something that no otherfreshman class at Technology has evertried. Owing to the success withwhich all the previous class eventsthis year have been supported by thefreshmen, the section leaders feel thata dance should be successful.

Those men who have not alreadyturned in their money for the Marchsmoker tickets are requested to getin touch with D. Tullis Houston '30 assoon as possible.

STUNTS BEST IN YEARS

best float will be awarded. Amongthese movie concerns will be theFox International, and the KeystoneReview, who will, if possible, take pic-tures in the Armory this evening.

All circus events will be run off onschedule, which will be announcedfrom time to time on a bulletin boardfurnished by Voo Doo. There will bea large gong in the hall to announcethe beginning of every event.

The circus committee wishes to an-nounce that everybody will have to re-frain from smoking in the Armory, ora one thousand dollar bond will haveto be forfeited. This bond -was re-quired by the War Department beforethe hall could be obtained for the oc-casion, and it will be promptly confis-cated if the restriction is violated.

In addition to the big poster in theMain Lobby advertising the circus,there will be two more put up today,one on the side of Hangar Gym, andone on the front of building 38. Evenat this late hour there have beenmany more acts and ring stunts an-nounced to the chairman of the com-mittee, outstanding among which area Toonerville Trolley by Beta ThetaPi and a big wild west show, stagedby Lambda Chi Alpha.

Among the newest novelties is anact which will have something to dowith Harvard. The students who areputting on this stunt refuse to dis-close their identity, and they have alsokept the real theme of the act a darksecret.

The Circus will commence prompt-ly at 7 o'clock and terminate at mid-night or earlier depending on the stu-dents.
