};. Joseph W iniarski presided at themeeting and introduced the speaker ofthe evening. Mr. Hubbard spoke on"Recent Developments in Flood Con-trol along the Mississippi River," and;he illustrated his talk with slides andn.ov-ies. He stressed particularly theuse of a newt type of asphalt matsdev eloped in the laboratories of the-Asplalt Institute.

Besides being insti umental in bring-ing about this development in floodC ontrol methods, Mr. Hubbard hadvisited the projects along the Missis-sippi and had taken the pictures andslides of the construction work. Thenew process consists essentially inpouring iarge mats of asphalt, man-!factured on barges anchored il theriver, onto th ebanks of the river topresvent erosion and consequent flood-in-- The nmethod is said to providethe best r evetements yet developed.The work is being carried on by abranch of the War I)epartment.

THE indifferent, the constitutional con-Iservative, the hedonist, the idealist andthe critical realist - these constitute the vari-ous student-types that enter the portals ofeach university, according to the opinion of adean -of a certain American law school whosearticle appeared in some obscure corner of ouryesterday's issue. As far as it is possible toresolve students, and all other human beingsfor that matter, into their lowest commonfactor and to separate them into "types," itmay be generally conceded that this classifica-tion is quite as all-embracing as any that hashitherto been enunciated.

;Ho~wever, it is evident, upon close examina-tion, that there are many who, by their verynature, cannot be categorized under any of thefive above-mentioned headings. They are eitherso different or individualistic that few or nonethat resemble them in any way can be detected,or else they possess simultaneously and atvaried degrees mnore than one of the essentialqualities, so that it would prove to be incorrectto designate them by one in particular.

Of these, specific reference is here made tothat student whose coming and going is an-noticable to almost all, whose career at col-lege is a silent and uneventful one from thepoint of view of "campus activity," yet whodiffers radically from the "indifferent type"both as regards his real self as well as his at-titude towards his surroundings. He is thequiet and unassuming fellow, who due tocauses both personal and environment, exaltsin his imagination the worth of his fellow-students and at the same time unduly depreci-ates' that of his own. Healthy and normal re-lations with his college-mates is necessarilybarred to him on account of this dispro-por-tionate notion of true values.

Certainly not unfamiliar is the picture ofone such serious-looking student who lingersalone in the hallway, who peers out with hislanguid eyes and closely scr utinizes all passers-by, who continually stands in our way and whooccupies himself at every odd moment by in-specting the thrice-lread notice-bsoard, whofidgets impatiently with library books on thestalls and who is seen drifting almost ulncon-sciously fr om one lecture-roomn to another .Thou-h he seldom utters a word, still we feelhis presence for wee realize that this is no mecredead-head, lout rather one whose dispositionhas been unduly- moulded lby an exceptionalseries of events and circumstances. On accountof his extreme self-consciousness and conse-quent suppression of all natural expression andbehavior, he is lost among his fellow-men.

Notwithstanding, our subject is fully con-

scious and aware of his infirmity. His false

imnaginings, which have caulsedl him such in-

explorabule suffering, are acutely examined by

him~self, yet thlere remains an unalterable bar-

rier which must be surpassed before he can

r id himself of this "complex". His -natural r e-

action is uisually one of self-pity or, on the

other hand, of self-torture, and his attitude

towards everything and everybody is deeply

couched in cynicism and contempt.

Of the reality of such a person, there can bielittle doubt. And that there exists a sufficient

number of these to warrant the stigma of a

new type is: a likely matter for dispute. How-

ever, whether or not it is decided that this stu-

dent represents a certain type, the fact is not

altered that the problem is a definitely acute

one, and that it offers difficulties in huge pro-

portions towards its solution.

their thinking as have the scientists who havestudied the problems. There is some reason tofear that the latter are too far ahead. At anyrate their report gives" one additional groundfor believing that whether or not science isresponsible for our social and economic diff-culties it will only be through science, or atleast the scientific method, that we will everemerge.

THE TECH-11 quires

Thlis column endeavors to solicitstudent opinion upon selected ques-tions. A reporter interviews studentsat random, in mak.ing Alis rounds aboutthve Institute. Questions for this col-vtmn may be submitted by readers.Open Forum, comment on any of theanswers will be welcomed.

Today's Question: "The MainL~ibrary*,closes every day at 6 o'clock,on Saturday at 4, and remains closedall day Sunday. In your opinion is thisjustifiedl by the argument that onl~y afew students would use it after suchtimes?"

Leon Simons, '36, 11, Dormitories:"Yes, this reason is justifiable, as

references are made with the currentwork, any student desiring informa-tion is sure to use it during regularhours. Another reason is that mostcommuters prefer to use it while atschool instead of making extra tripson Saturdays and Sundays. Ratherhave late hours on week days andclose on week-ends."

Carl G. Sontheimer, '36, V111, River-bank Court:

It is immaterial to commuters andto many fraternity men, who mustleave school early and who cannoteasily come on Sundays, but for thesake of the dormitory students andmen on research work it might be ad-visable to extend library hours."

Arthur L. Sarvis, '36, II, 21 WhitePlace, Brookline:"Yes. I don't think keeping the li-

brary open for a longer period wouldjustify the additional expense incur-red."

J. Charles Kittel, 138, VIII, Doarmi-tories:"By nautre a library is a. repository

of knowledge; any limitation of hoursis contradictory to the fundamentalidea of making this knowledge uni-v-ersally avaliable. A locked library, ifonly ]handicapping a few students, isdefeating its own reason for being."

Milton Lief, '37, XVI, 42 Howland St.,Roxbury:"The Library should adhere strictly

to its present schedule. I do not be-lievre that there are many who wouldcare to make use of it at any othertime. The facilities of the entire li-brary system would have to be inoperation in catering to merely a few."John H. Colby, '35, XV~b, 49 Summit

Ave., Brookline:"It is not justified because in Course

XV seniors are requested to do a lotof outside reading which cannot becompleted during the week."James Pearce, '37, X, Dormitories:

"There is enough time before 6o'clock for most students to do theirlibrary work. I believe the ruling isjustified.""Vrinton K. Ulrich, '35), VIC, Melro~se:

"It should be open since avail albilityof the library to seniors and researchstudents is most desirable. To thelower classmen it should probablymake but little difference. At the pres-ent rates of pay, the expense is negli-|gible and one man can take care ofthe library in off hours."

NEW FIELDS TO CONQUERTHE SCIENCE ADVISORY BOARD

t HE recently published report of the ad-1 Fministration's Science Advisory Board, of

which Dr. Compton is the chairman, presentssome illuminating information on the import-ance of scientific research of various kinds illany program of national planning. The reportis essentially a study of the place of science inthe governmental structure, and mainy of itsrecommendations might prove disconcertingto many misinformed persons who believe thatscience has caused all the world's troubles andshould somehow be outlawed.

One of the principal reasons why the nat-ural sciences have progressed so much fartherthan the social sciences is that discoveries inthe latter are of such a nature that -no i-ndi-viduals or industries could profit sufficiently bythemn to justify the necessary expenditure forresearch with other than philanthropic mno-tives. If such research is not sponsored bygovernments it is Generally not done at all, andfor this reason most of the nations of theworld have their scientific bureaus, such as de-partments of agriculture, and planning boards.The Science Advisory Board and its sub-com-mittees have studied and are still studying thefunctions of the existing scientific agencies ofthe United States government and are recom-mending investigations into many social prob-lems on which little or -no research has everbefore been done.

A large part of the report of the progressmade by them so far discusses problems in-volving the terrain and land resources of thecountry, such as soil erosion, critical land mnar-gins. b~ureau of mines, geological survey, climna-tolog4,1, and the weather bureau. The studiespoposed on various phases of land research

should undoubtedly he of eventual benefit tomost of the farmers of the country.-Indeed, itis mrn e likely that somzething can ultimately bedone about the much discussed farm situationin this wlay than by congressional legislation.

A comnparaltively new field of study in whichf usthler research is rsecommenlded is that ofp~opulaction, palrticularly the analysis and pr o-j ection of population movements. That knowl-edge of this matter might bie of gTreat practical

importance is exemplified by the hundreds oln

thlousandls of pounds wasted recently by thecity of Manchester, England, which began tobuild a huge reservoir to accommodate ail ex-pected increase of population and then aban-doined the project when it wNas discovered thatthe populatioll of the city was -no longer in-creasing. It is significant that this section ofthe r epor t points out the need of further studyof population movements as basic in develop-ing public frolicy for the lredistribution of pop-ullation.

Whether the various pro-rams of researchthat are recommended will ever be carried outor -not will depend on whether the Congressand vcarious executive divisions of the govern-ment have reached as advanced a stag,,e in

Heedless, carefree youth! Theyaren't really bad at heart, they arejust scatterbrained; they suspect noth-ing when a companion loads his pistolwtith ball.

As Professor I)avis lay dying, heIwas asked if he knew his assailant'sname. He replied that he knew itperfectly well, but he refused to tell.A student named Simms was finallyarrested and charged with murder. Heforfeited his bail.

Ah well, let us not be prim abouttihe failings of youth. Life ran lustyin the veins in those halcyon days ofthe past; and today it is swee' to lookback on the brave world gone by, whencollege life Wvas careless and bold, andthe golden hours were filled withnmalicious mischief, assault and bat-tery, and honmicide. The professorsneed not be so despondent about stu-( dent conduct when the present under-graduates paint the Founder's statue

An Independence DayThe history of the University of

Virginia has a certain sanguinarycharm. II the thirties, the boys or-ganized a military company. The fac-ulty, fearing, perhaps, a student mili-tary dictatorship, ordered theircharges to surrender, their firearms.The youn- cadets voted: "Resolved,that we have our arms and intend tokeep them." This was Saturday, No-vember 12, 1836. Until Sunday night,the students had the campus to them-selves. They fired off most of theirammunition, broke into the professors'houses, and amused themselves withthe inmates. The hurly-burly was atlength calmed by the arrival of thestate troops.

The faculty dismissed those studentswho were known or suspected of beingthe rioters, and allowed them to re-turn to good scholastic standing onlyon the acknowledgment of error andthe promise of reform. These termswere regarded by the Virginia gentle-men as humiliating. They were pub-lisledl by the faculty's chairman, Prc-f essor John A. G. Davis, and he wasregarded as personally responsible.

For several years thereafter the stu-dlents celebr ated the anniversary ofthe Tiot as a holy day in the history ofstudent self-government. The celebra-tions reached their climax, on Noven-ber 12, 1840, with the shooting andkilling of Professor Davis. A contem-;,orary student's letter says,: "There

One of the gaamest mat performances to be seen around here recentlywas that staged by Jervis Webb against his Tufts opponent at the HangarGym Saturday afternoon. Coach Jay Ricks had no 165 pounder to enteragainst Smith, the clever wrestler of that weight from Tufts, but Ricks didhave two men from the 145 pound class, Webb and Ed Boyan. It was decidedthat one of them should compete in his own class, while the other shouldwrestle Smith at a twenty pound disadvantage.

h: * ::: .r. :k :> *

Accordingly Boyan and Webb wrestled each other last Thursdayin a match to decide in which class each was to compete, the winnerto wrestle at his own weight on Saturday. As those who attended themeet in the Hangar Saturday will now know, Webb lost, for when the16;5 pound match was called he carried the Ml. I. T. colors againstSmith. From the start it w as apparent that Smith would be theeventual victor, it being only a matter of time before Webb wouldbe pinned. Smith almost had the 'Tech man down in the first minute,but Webb managed to stave off defeat for the time being. The Jumbograppler then proceeded to apply a number of punishing holds andto attempt to wear his opponent down by making use of his weightadvantage.

* :ki: : **

No one in the audience would have blamed Webb if he had succumbedafter the first minute or two, but he contin ed his valiant defensive perform-ance, even though he was taking plenty of punishment. Finally at the end ofnine minutes the star Jumbo natman succeeded in pinning his lighter oppon-ent, but for those nine minutes Webb gave one of the most praiseworthyperformances ever to be turned in on a Tech mat.

One of the most drab Tech basketball seasons in several yearswill be a thing of the past after Wednesday night. New Hampshireadministered a one-sided defeat to Coach McCarthy's team Saturdayevening and Brown, with its two stars, Floren and Kennedy, is ex-pected to make a successful invasion of the Hangar tomorrow eve-ning.

audience was amused by the carica-ture, which, while it was not too artis-tically drawn, illustrated the mainpoint of the negative argument.

The Tufts team, compLising of Wil-bur E. Quinn, '35, W. Bradford Cool-idge , '37, and Lexus H. Parks, '36,maintained that the inadequacy of thepresent medical system and its inabil-ity to reach the proper classes war-r anted a drastic revision. Socializa-tion, they argued, would be able toIrovide this adequate therapeutic careand at the same tinle give the doctor<. far greater economic security thanlhe nows enjoys.

The Technology representatives,comprising Phillip J. Scarito, Jr., '37,ILeonard A. Seder, '37, and Fred Was-sermian, '37, admitted the need for re-vrision but claimed that better resultscould be obtained by the installationof a system of health insurance simi-lar to that of many European coun-tries, inasmuch as such a compulsorymethod aould, they said, eliminate thevasteful governmental graft that so-

cialization would necessarily entail.Professor Henry G. Pearson, head

The notable contributions of cera-mics in various industrial processesand the opportunities for applyingmodern knowledge in chemistry amdphysics for future developments hasled to the establishment of advanceddegrees in ceramics at the Institute,it was announced last night.

The Institute's course in ceramics,which during the past .20 years hasmade many original and important ad-vances in its field, now offers advanc-ed work leading to the degrees ofmaster and doctor of science. Amnongthe important contributions whichhave come from Technology's cera-mics laboratories are asbestos shin-gles, kaolin brick, asbesto-s board, in-sulating refractories and machinesfor moulding silica brick. Throughextensive research carried on in thelaboratory kilns and furnaces, muchlight has been thrown on the natureof plastic phenomena and the mechan-ism of color in the form of new glazes2nd materials. Studies are now beingmade of quick methods of firing andforming, fresh decorative processes,and the adaptation of /new materialsto ceramic purposes.

Penrose Fund GrantedRecently the Geological Society of

America presented the Institute withagrant from the Penrose Fund for a

study of the origin of clays. The in-vestigationl will be carried out undertile direction of Professor FrederickH. Norton, w~ho is in charge of in-struction and research in ceramics inthe department of miniing and metal-lurgy.

Institute Museum establishedA notable museum of historic and

contemporary pottery and glassware,largely the work of native New Eng-land craftsmen, also has been assemb-led in the Institute's ceramic division.The collection contains a number offine period pieces, and is of greatvalue in tracing types of decorationand the general progress of the art.

The ceramics course at Technologyemphasizes initiative, resourcefulness,and creative ability, rather than thestudy of details which can better beacquired in the manufacturing plant.T'he effectiveness of such training isevidenced by the fact that the demandfor Technology graduates in this field

Textile ResearchShows Progress

Noteworthy Advances Are MadeIn Designing Of New

Equipment

Progress in textile research atTechnology was greater during thelast four years than during thetwenty preceding themn a report justissued by President Compton shows.The research was made possible biy

3a grant of over $42,()00 fromn the Tex-tile Alliance in 1930. Dr. Compton ischairman of the advisory and textile'education survey committees of thetextile foundation.

Textile research at Technology,which is carried on in the departmentof mechanical engineering, has threemajor objectives. One is the develop-ment of suitable apparatus and tech-

if niques for the mechanical and micro-scopical testing of textile fibres, yarns

Aland fabrics. Another is the solution oficurrent problems arising in the tex-

tile industry. The third is the applica--tion of developments in other fields totextile research, including X-ray an-alysis, polarized light, high speed mo-tion picture photography, direct color

. photography, photrontic cells, and highisvoltage electricity, with a view to

'ikeeping in advance of current labora-tory practice and for a better attack

Von problems of fundamental signifl-t ance.

Special Equipment Designedt.Various testing machines in the In-stitute's laboratories have been re-newed and several pieces of special.equipment have been designed andconstructed. The development of tex-tile microscopy under the direction of

.Professor Edward Rc. Schwar~z has al--ready made important contributions totextile research. Special optical instru-ments have made possible advances inthe study of raw and manfcuetextile materials.

Three of the research fellowshipprojects established by the Textile

-Foundation in 1932 were assigned to',RTechnology. One of these is in theffield of microbiology, and important

work has been done in co-operativestudies under the direction of the tex-tile laboratory and of Professor Sam-uel C. Prescott, head of the depart-ment of biology and public health.;Professors, Staff Co-operate

Professor Arthur C. Hardy, who de-veloped the color analyzer, a devicefor measuring the color of opaque ma-terials, such as paper, textile fabrics,

:ceramic products, and painted sur-faces, co-operated in a project whichbad as its purpose a spectrophoto-metric color analyrsis ofe dyed, textiles.Professor James F. Norris of the de-

-partment of chemistry co-operated in-another project in thle field of organic
