Creation of a Division of City Plan-ing and Housing and establishment

of a new ,six year course in City Plan-

ning Practice was announced last

week by Dean William Emerson of

the Institute's School of Architecture.

The newi course in city planningpractice, which starts next autumn,follows the procedure of the presentco-operative courses in electrical,chemical, and mechanical engineering,and in marine transportation. It isdesigned to supplement the Institute'sexisting undergraduate and graduatecourses in city planning, bringing toits students the benefits of profession-al field practice through actual workwith leading planning agencies.

Extra-Architectural Prob'emsConsidered

The extra curriculum of the course,chosen after consultation with theleading city planning authorities ofthe country, is based on recognitionof the fact that solution of all plan-ning problems, whether city, state,or regional, depends upon the properco-ordination of all fields involved,including, in addition to architectureand engineering, the economic, socio-logical, and government factors. Thecurriculum provides for a year's ex-perience in the offices of local, state,and regional planning boards. This isprovided by summer work followingthe fourth and fifth years of the sixyear program and' by an additional

eclipse has been revived. The "Attractome-ter" that functioned a week ago and the moreelaborate and complicated "Seasothermofever-ometer" of tonight join a large and distin-guished company of predecessors. "Personal-ity machines" of various kinds have featuredInstitute dances for more years than anyoneon the staff can remember.

But after all, this is only natural. For thisis a technical school, and since managing thedances is really a diversion, thne institute'stechnicians, like the famed postman who tooka hike on his vacation, naturally turn to atechnical device when they want a special fea-ture.

We have no complaint on that score, but wewould like to venture the suggestion, in atimid voice, that someone invent a really ori-ginal machine. The timid voice is merely toprevent too many people from shouting, "Whydon't you invent one." Remember, we're notrunning any dance.

The newest developmeat has beenthe decision of the dorm sophomoresto rally around Howard Klitgord, ofthe cinder path, for the junior top-post. This makes it a three-man fightwith Mr. Seykota and Mr. Wingardas the other two principals.

PEACE CONFERENCEIS WORTH AT:TENDING

by EXT Tuesday the third All-Tech PeaceConference will be held here. Every year

that these conferences are held, not only atTechnology but also at hundreds of otherschools, the same question is brought up,"VWhat good are they?"

On first thought it would seem that such aconference could do little or nothing towardadvancing the cause of peace. It seems al-most absurd, from one point' of view, to thinkthat future or possible wars can be influencedto any extent if a group of college students,or even several hundred groups, get togetherand listen to speeches for an hour.

But that attitude reflects only a superficialconsideration of the question. Actually, suchconferences can do real good. College stu-dents particularly have a habit of taking acynical attitude toward such things as war.They say, "Of course we are against war, bfitwhat difference does it make?" The answerto that is, that as long as they take such anattitude without thinking about the questionvery deeply, as long as they take what theythink is the "sophisticated" or "intellectual"'attitude, their ideas will make no difference.

But if they think about the subject, if theyhold real opinions rather than smooth gen-eralities, then it can make a great deal of dif-ference. There are a large number of collegestudents in this country, most of whom willlater have more than average influence in thiscountry, and if they have definite opinions onthe question of peace it will be difficult forpropaganda to stampede the country intoanother war. That is the main difference thatcollege students' attitudes can make.

What does the Peace Conference have to dowith this? is a natural question. The answeris that the conference is practically the onlyway of stimulating real thought on the ques-ticrn. With the speakers representing all theimportant attitudes on the subject, listenersat the conference are bound to be introducedto new points of view. They will acquire anew understanding of the causes of war, andthe contributing factors. They will hear allthe worthwhile suggestions as to how to avoidwar and how to keep the United States out ofwar. It is not necessary for the listener to beconverted to the beliefs of one of the speakersfor the conference to be a success. If he un-derstands the arguments and the points ofview expressed, he will be more nearly im.-mune to the appeals of the propagandists thanif he airily ignores the whole question with"Of course I'm against war. Why should Iattend?" He may be against war, but his op-position is shallow.

We cannot urge students too strongly to at-tend Tuesday's conference. It will give depthand background to their feelings on the ques-tion.

aOTTINGEN university will be two hun-kJ dred years old this summer. The Ger-man government is holding a five-day cele-bration of this event, and to it has invited rep-resentatives of the world's leading educationalinstitutions. Technology has accepted this in-vitation, naming as its representative WernerT. Schaute, prominent German industrialistand Institute alumnus.

Bult this celebration is more than the recog-nition of two hundred years of existence of ascientific school which has been considered one

-- o the w-orld's- greatest. It will be, in thewords of Professor Friedrich H. J. Neumann,Rector of the institution, an opportunity forthe school to "show its (National Socialist)colors."

Of the many American colleges and univer-sities invited, the only important ones whichhave accepted are Technology, Pennsylvania,and Ohio State. Among the better known in-stitutions, the Nazis' invitations have met, forthe most part, with refusals-some polite,some curt, some even vehement. - Dartrrmouth,Virginia, Carnegie Tech and McGill have allrefused. Dean Morton Gottschall of C. C. N.Y., referring to President Frederick B3. Rob-insin's statement that no delegate would besent from that college, said, "That attitude isthoroughly correct. I'm in complete sympa-thy with it. The statement by the Britishuniversities [Cambridge and Oxford] in con-nection with last year's Hieidleberg celebrationstill stands, as far as I am concerned, since thesame conditions still obtain in Germany."

According to a story in the New YorkTimes, "Cambridge's refusal was almost a re-buke to Gottingen for having sent the invita-tion. This Cambridge response has raisedagain the whole question of whether foreignuniversities countenance suppression of aca-demic freedom by attending such ceremonies."And Thomas Mann, world-famous writer, ex-iled by Hitler, has said: ';Peopie should notgo, since all the festivals there are political-all Nazi propaganda."

In sending a delegate to Gottingen this sum-rer, Technology will be attending the cele-bration, not of the two hundredth anniversaryof a distinguished colleague, but of the de-bouchery of German education under Nazism,the perversion of science to the aims of war,the reduction of all culture and knowledge tothe mumbo-jumbo of racialism. Ve thereforefeel that President Compton should reconsiderhis decision to lend she name and prestige ofTechnology to the Gottingen anniversary cele-bration.

At thistime, the 150 pound frosh and secondfrosh heavies will row at Groton.The varsity heavy crew, according to

$its veteran mentor, Bill H-aines, is oneof the finest he 'has coached. Whethert~his outfit is strong enough to outroarthe boatsmeax from Harvard andPrinceton, both "rowing schools" anddeep in boating tradition, remains tobe seen. Coach Haines is co~nfident,however, that this boat will give avery good account of itself. The out-look is not so good, though, for thejay-yeas. This crew has been badlyhandicapped by the withdrawal ofseveral members from time to time,

An outstanding example of the un-foreseen results which often comefrom research directed toward anoth-er goal is the discovery of an unsus-pected antirachitic property in milkby Professors John W. M. Bunker,and Robert S. Harris of the Insti-tute's Biology department.

The new element, remaining afterall traces of the antirachitic vitaminD have been removed, was discoveredwhile the biologists were in search ofa diet of uniform effectiveness forproducing rickets in laboratory rats.

Sought Corn SubstituteThe recognized protein ingredient

of diets for producing rickets in rats,when Professors Bunker and Harrisof the Biology department began theirsearch for a new diet three years ago,was ground whole corn. The searchwas prompted by the fact that forsome reason as yet unexplained notall corn will produce the disease.

The need for a protein that couldbe relied upon to produce rickets ledto experiments with casein, the prin-ciple protein of milk.

However, rats fed with casein fromwhich all known forms of vitamin D

had been removed not only failed todevelop rickets, but thrived. Predi-gesting the casein with enzymes andalkalies failed to make it ricket-pro-ducing.

Increasing the ratio of calcium tophosphorus in the diet, another meth-od usually effective in producing rick-ets, also failed to produce the disease.

The conclusion inevitably reachedas the result of these experiments wasthat milk has an hitherto unsuspect-ed antirachitic property. Attempts arenow being mrade to determine whatpart of the casein molecule is re-sponsible for this effect.

May Open New Field for CaseinPossible applications of the discov-

ery are as yet undetermined. Biolog-ists have suggested that casein whichas a waste product of milk process-ing represents one of the great lossesof agriculture, may prove valuable asan antirachitic food for poultry andanimals.

Announcement of this research wasmade late yesterday in a paper pre-sented by Professors Bunker and Har-ris before the Society of AmericanBiological Chemists at Memphis,Tennessee.

Selskar M. Gunn Will DiscusChina's Public Health

Problems

All Course VIII Men EligibleTo Attend Dinner At

Hotel BradfordSelskar Michael Gunn, Vice Presi-

dent of the Rockefeller Foundation,will deliver the thirteenth WilliamThompson Sedgewick Memorial Lec-ture at the Institute in Room 10-250at 4:30 this afternoon. Mr. Gunnm haschosen as his subject "Public Healthin China."

The lecturer is expected to discussthe present status of public healthwork in China, both in the rural andurban districts, and its relation to thegeneral system of Chinese education.

The Sedgewick Memorial lecture-ship was established in 1922 in com-memoration of the services of Pro-fessor Sedgewick to the cause ofbiology and public health. The lectureis delivered each year by a man ofdistinguished eminence in the field,under the auspices of the departmentof biology at M. I. T. which ProfessorSedgewick originated.

Gunn Technology GraduateMr. Gunn is a graduate of Technol-

ogy in the class of 1905 and is oneof its most distinguished alumni. HIeis internationally known as an author-ity on public health and especially forhis work in the Far East where hisefforts have been unusually successful.

He was a member of the faculty ofthis Department of Biology and PublicHealth at the Institute from 1911-1919 and from 1912 to 1914 he wason the faculty of Simmons College.From 1912 to 1918 he was Secretaryof the American Public Health Asso-ciation. He Wvas also a member of theState Board of Labor and Industriesff Massachusetts from 1913 to 1914and director of the division of hygieneof the Massachusetts State HealthDepartrnent from 1915 to 1916. From1922 to 1927 he was director of theParis Office of the InternationalEealth Board of the RockefellerFour-ndation. He has been vice presi-lent of the Foundation since 1927.

The Physical Society holds its' an-nual banquet tnoight at 7:30 o'clockin the Grill Room of the Hotel Brad-ford°. Faculty graduate, and under-graduate members of Course VIII areinvited to attend. Tickets may be pur-chased from Mrs. Thomas at the Phy-sics department headquarters.

Following the custom of the society,several humorous sketches will bepresented after the banquet, includingone that is modelled after MajorBowes' Amateur Hour. An operetta,prepared by undergraduates of thePhysics department, is expected eith-er to force the professors from thedepartment or force the actors fromthe Institute.

E. E. Department WillDiscuss Capacitators

Frank S. Dunleavy of MagnavoxTo Conduct Colloquium

"Electrolytic Capacitators" will bethe subject of a colloquium to be heldon April 26 and 27 by the Institute'sElectrical Engineering Department.Mr. Frank S. Dunleavy '29, chief Cap-acitator Engineer of the MIagnavoxCompany will conduct the discussion.

The coiloquium is open to all sen-iors, graduate students, junior honorstudents, faculty members. Othlers ofserious purpose are also welcome.Those attending are urged, however,to arrange their programs so theywill be able to be present at bothsessions which are scheduled for twoto four o'clock in the afternoon inroom 10-275.

The discussion is to be supplement-ed by demonstrations and lanternslides. In addition, a fifteen minutemotion picture will be presented por-traying the actual manufacture ofcapacitators.

According to Hai Kemp, popularorchestra leader, college undergrad-uates, both boys and girls, are begin-ning to write dance music with com-rnercial potentialities, for the firsttime since the development of radio.

When, two years ago, he recordedas an experiment two .songs from thePrinceton University Triangle Show,to his amazement the numbers "Loveand a Dime" and "East of the Sun"became hits. They were written byBrooks Bowman. who since that firstsuccess has turned out several otherhits in a professional capacity. Fromthat time on Kemp has been swarmedwith original songs from college mus-ical comedy clubs, all.written by stu-

deits eager to repeat the Bowmansuccess.

Several have succeeded, notablyClay Bowland of the University ofPennsylvania, who wrote "An Applea Day," "Something Has Happenedto Me," and "My Best Bet," whichwere featured on a recent Kempbroadcast. Queried as to the reasonfor the increased song writing abilityamong college students of late, Kempattributed it to "the college man's
