Coach MlcCarthy's basketeers de-feated the Norwich team last Satur-(lay night in the Haiigar Gym in aone-sided game by the score of 39 to25. Although the visitors had the ad-vantage of several games last weekto pl'eparee themselves for tile game,they did not offer much competitionto the Technology offense. The Eil-gineers were able to break throughthe Nor~wich defense line regularlyand piled up a heavy lead over ilieiropponents early in the game.

MacDowell, Motter StarNee, -who has been in all of tile

stairting lineups this season in theforward ber~th, did not play until tilelast few minutes of the game. His

place in the lineup was taken by A,,Iac- Dowell, who played an excellenit gamein tile p~osition. He sharerl scoringhonors with Mcotter with a total of 9points for his team. Teachout, SipseY,,and Hartford starited for the visitors each scoring '7 points for' their· teani.

This was the third defeat for. theNoirwich five ill a week, losing toDartmouth and Harvard by large mar---ills. The game started with bothlteams trying to pile tip a leatl, andthe ball went up and down the floormost of tile first period.Nowctried to catch the Engineer gutardsnapping by fast plays under, t le bas-ket, but most of the attempts to scorefailed.

Class Consists ofMill Executives

Prof. Haven Conducts Course- Most of Students are

Of Mfiddle Age

A unique class, composed of twentymen and one woman, most of themabove middle age, is the one takingthe special course in Trextile Researchrecently inaugurated by the Institulte.This course, which is taught by Pro-fessor George B. Haven '94 of theMechanical Engineering Department,has been designed for the benefit ofmill operators and executives w^rhow5ish to learn more of the scientificside of thie textile industry, and hasbeen so successful that another classof twenty-tw~o wvill begin the intensivesix;-weeks' session next semester.

The course is thorough and coversevery phase of textile testing and tex-tile microscopy. Under the first read-ing comes the design of testing labor-atories and their necessary apparatus.This apparatus includes thread count-ing devices, twist counters, cord test-ing machines, fabric testing machilles,tensile testing machines, and condi-tioning apparatus.

The course in textile microscopy in-cllldes instruction in the use of vari-ous types of instruments, their fieldsof application, advantages and limita-tions, and the component parts of themicroscope and its manipulation. Thisis followed by instruction in the op-tical details of the microscope andthe path of light rays through theioptical systemn. The process of mount-ing specimens, of measuring textileswit the microscope, the making ofcross-sections of textiles, the rela-tion of color to microscopy, the analy-sis of fabrics and yarns, and the identi-.fication of fibers make up the rest ofthe course.

A Boodof

Continuusl~N bn erviec

fo 46 Years

Editor's Note: We are indebted tothe Boston Transcript for the inter-esting discussion herewith printedconcerning the effect of the recentstock market crash on college enroll-menlts. It is the opinion of the authorof this article that no serious effectwill be forthcoming, but that the post-wvar rush to enter college has definite-ly ceased.

The answer to the question "Willthe recent upheaval ill the stock mar-ket have any effect on college enroll-ments for the academic year 1930-1931 ?" will not be forthlcom~ing forsome months yet. The chances arethat there will be but slight abate-menlt traceable to Wall Street lossesin the flood of students matriculatingnext September. If the automobile in-

dustry looks forward to almost asmuch business this year as last, whyshouldn't the colleges ? Both areplaced in the luxury class by somepeople, in the necessities group byothers.

A fraternity's national officer, re-porting at a conclave ill New Yorkcity during the Christmas holidays, de-clared that many students had beenforced to withdraw from America'scolleges and universities during the~last twoe months because of the strait-ened financiall circumstances of theirparents who had been "paying thefreight." But there are no more fig-ures available to support this declara-tion than there are to justify the pre-diction that there will be a notice-able slump in freshman enrollmentseight months hence.

One close observer of affairs ool-legiate with whloml I have daily con1-tact doesn't foresee any shrinkage ofentrants and points out that about thelast move the ordinary father WRvoldk

mnake in financial retrenchment wouldbe to swVing the axe oll his o-%rnl son'sor his daughlter's higher education.

But I am getting wvay ahead of mystory, for this, the Transcript's nine-teenthl annual survey of college en-rollments, is concerned withl thisyear's actualities and not next year'spossibilities or probalities. Of coursethe principal purpose of our surveyis, as it has been for lo these manyiyears, to discover the rate at whichthle (Enrollment of the colleges and uni-versities hats increased. And this iswhat wve find:

Per CentYear Gain

College enrollments continue to bea favorite topic of conversation wllen-ever andl wherever higher educatorsassemble, formally or informally, todiscuss common problems. It's an ab-sorbinlg and brow-fu~rrowing puzzle,this seeking to discover some hi-lilysensitive educational y ardstick bywhicle may be separated the wheatfromn the chlaff, by whiche sorely haT-r assed college entrance officials maydecide who shall and who sllall notbie permitted to enter uponl the wvind-ing_ academic ilighwvay wvlich leads to

nonexistent. The past half decadehas wvitnessedl an unprecedentedamount of experimentation in therealm of entrance measurement.

iglier and higher go the bars analbligher and higher climbs the caliber ofthose permitted to carry on their edu-cation beyond the secondary stage.Every time I inspect the entranceliterature of a Newv England collegeI thank my lucky stars that I enteredwhell I did. And there are others.

Some day our foremost educatorsmay agree on the most efficient meansof separating those who should be per-ni-itted to go on to higher educationfrom those wvho shouldn't, but thatday is not yet. Less than a fortnightago I sat in front of the fireplace inthe home of one of New England'sranking college presidents and listenedattentively while he raked over thecoals the entrance ideas of a sisterinstitution. Ai-d very likely I couldgo to that sister institution and sitin on a similar indignant explosion.

Phenomenal Rush EndedThe phenomenal rush of newt stu-

dents into America's colleges, whichhas increased the total enrollmentfrom 200,000 in 1913 to more thanS50,000 today, has come to all end.There is no doubt of it. PresidentEmeritus Cllarles F. Thwing of West-ern Reserve University, close studentof educational trends, believes that

college enrollment in proportion topopulation will remain at its presentlevel indefinitely. He ascribes theheavy increases since the war to tencauses, whichl, he points out, by nowhave exerted their full -influence andbrought. about the maximum enroll- ment to be expected under currenteconomic and social conditions. Theseare:

Increased prosperity and higherliving standards, which have re-sulted in many families sendingsons and daughters to college forthe first time.

The most evident and immed-iate cause has been found in theincrease in enrollment of highschool students. Thet high schoolincrease in the last decade repre-sented a doubling.

The increased number of highschool courses which are accept-able for college entrance.

The increased number of voca-tional and popular courses offeredby the colleges.

The increasing tendency of law,medical and other professionalschools to demand a liberal edu-cation of their calldidates, result-.ing in added enrollment in thearts and sciences.

The importance recently placedon social advantages of collegelif e.

A vast increase in scholarshipsand loan funds for worthy stu-dents.

Thle growth of part-time andevening courses in metropolitancolleges.

The -rowvin- insistence of busi-ness org-anizations on college-trained w~ork~ers.

Ambitions for education aroused})y wXar-time associationls and e:;-perienlces.This year, in the liiiiety-three in-

stitutions of hlillher learnin- wvlicllThle Transcript accepts as representa-tive and inspects ill its annual survey,there are 1082 more freshmen thanw er e enrolled tw elve months ag-o, auinerease of 2.6 per cent. Last yearthere were less freshmen oll the booksthan for the same period in the pre-ceding yhear. These ninety-three col-leges and universities have an aggre-gate enrollnlent of full-time students-excluding evening, sllmmer schooland extension students-of 326.325,whlereas last year's figure was 315,-128. This is a gain of 11,197I, or of3.5 per cent.

The Transcript's compilation, let itbe said for the nineteenth time, isfrankly incomplete; it leaves hunl-dreds of worthy colleges and unliver-sities entirely out of the reckoning.But, as has been pointed out in otheryears, bounds have to be establishedsomewhere in order to keep our articlewtithlin limits suitable for newspaperpublication. Tlle colleges selected arer epresentative. The small and large,private and State, men's and wvomen's,co-educational and co-ordinate, cityand country, sectarian and non-sectar-ian, athletically and non-athlleticallyinclined-all are represented at leastollce ill our survey. Practically everyState has a representative oll the list.-Fromn the Boston Trallscript.

Statistics compiled by Dean Ray-mond Walters of Swvarthmore collegeshlowS that 442,493 students are en-rolled in the 226 colleges andl uni-versities on the approved list of theAssociation of American Universities.This is an increase of one and one-half per cent over figures for 1928.

Thle gl and total enrollment, whlichincludes part-time and summer-ses-sion students, is 697,584, an increase,off two per cent over last year. Forty-four per cent of this total ale enrolledin the 25 largest universities, thefigures -reveal. The University ofCalifornia leads in. full time enr oll-ment, having 17,242 students withinits various branches. Columlbia uni-versity leads in the grand total at-tendanlce wvithl 33,367 students.

Fewner universities than lost yearreport decreases in enrollment DeanWhalters stated. He also added thatsuch decreases were for the most partslight. Those colleges reportin.- in-creased enrollment, on the other hand,wvere more numerous. Sixty-one in-stitutions in the same classification asLehligh were included in this group.

The average student at the U~ni-versity of Oregon is 20 yeal s old.One student is 15, while 11 are 16.Twelve of the seniors are 19 years old.

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYI

UNSYMPATHETIC GREEKS WVHILE general student attitude. is enthusiastic ill carrying

out the "Use Walker" campaign, the Interfraternity Con-ference's action is hardly in accord with this idea. At the lastmeeting of this body it was voted that the next InterfraternityDa-nce shall not be held in Wtalker Memorial. If it is possible,we urge that this opinion be reconsidered at the January meet-ing next Tuesday.

Since the last,- meeting was on December tenth, -it seems likely that the members of the fraternity group had Ilot fully realizedthe possibilities of the Main Hall as a ball room for -theirparties. Their meeting preceded by a few days the Senior Dance-if the reverse had been the case, their action wouldhave been worthy of severe criticism. As it is, the vote may be

-condoned as coming from men not fully informed of the facts.The only other explanation is that the fraternity representa-

tives feel that their dances are of a type distinct from the usualTechnology affair. If they insist on standing aloof, they im~ply

-that the Interfraternity dances require the more lenient hos--J, pitalities of a suburban hotel. Such a suggestion reflects on

the men, 'and is not the case.Wh~len the Conference realizes the situation, they cannot but

see that the wise course is one of reconsideration. That theSenior Dance was a success in every respect no one will deny.

i; It was difficult to believe that the ball room was the workaday- Main Hall. Wharm lighting effects and comfortable furniture

had transformed it. No one may legitimately raise an objectionto the dance floor. The new preparation used on it was mostsatisfactory. The enjoyment of the large crowd was unmarred.

- ~~An entirely different, though equally successful function wasthe informal dance after the basketball game last Saturdayevening. A crowd which filled the Main Hall to overflowinglwas unanimous in its approval of the new idea.i

- ~~Interfraternity dances have so much to offer in the way of anenjoyable, inexpensive evening that we cannot but be certainthat they would be equally popular in Wralker. The dormi-t ories, the studlent- body as a whole and various small under-graduate societies are cooperating in the agitation for changesin Walker. It would seem fitting that the fraternities join in

- the effort.

RISING STEAMLTEOUGH the Patent Office is receivting a constantly in-creasing number of patent applications from omniferous

inventors all over the country, ninety percent of them will neversee commercial, widespread use. There is a decided differencebetween an inventor and a dreamer, notwithstanding both arefired by the sam-e fuel. There is always room for inventions,but there is never room for contraptions.

- ~A plumber, cramped and stifling between floor joists, hopesto goodness that some day there will be a method to eliminatethreaded joints and elbows at partition junctions, and a pipe

-- that snakes around corners, like electric cable, results from thethought. The steward on an Austrian sleeping car breaks thecutting blade off his can-opener and, in the emergecy, attachesit to a piece of wlood, drives a nail at the other end, taps thedingus in a circle and is a made man.

> ~Mrs. X, weary of lifting the hinged lid of the garbage bucket,forks it open with a stick, and her ingenious husband adds afoot lever; and international kitchens inherit the convenience.John Doe jabs the customary ice pick into a cardboard milkseal, splashing the contents ill all directions. On the next bot-tle, Mr. Doe carefully tears a small tab and easily lifts off theseal and another nuisance is disposed of.

Alterness, ingenuity and optimism are perhaps the prime req-uisite for an inventor, no matter of what degree. If Mr. Edisonhad not realized the need for better lighting,-he wouldn'thave -one on; if he had not been the possessor of a "source ofm~ind"- he wouldn't have gone on; if he had not believedthere wras a better wtay, he couldn't have gon,.e on.

SERN"I END VWMENT

P(OLICY ARRANGED

Comnmittee Headed by Rowzee

Will Announce Terms

Before Exams

(Continued from Page 1)ity, the Committee this year is striv-ing for a response of one hundred per-cent by means of an energetic canm-paign begun before the extremely busyfinal term comes upon the Seniors.

The popularity of the policy is theprime factor in the final choice of tiheCommittee. Consideration is given tothe size of the initial payment, anti themoderate annual premium rates. Bysuch an arrangement rates are obtain-able which give the Institute an en-dow-ment of considerable size, at thesame time providing the students apolicy as favorable to them as theycan obtain from outside companies.The flexibility of the terms is alsoconsidered, since each student has hispreference in the amount and type (ofinsurance he cares to assume.

By the provision of the Committep,an insurance policy of $1000 is thebasis, with the dividends doing to theInstitute instead of to the applicant.At the end of 25 years, the Institutereceives the accumulated dividends.and the policy-lolder may receive3 hisprincipal. Those who wish to take outa regular life insurance without the25 year provision may do this if theyso choose.
