Eight of FacultyConfined to Homes

Seven of the eight membersof the faculty who have beenconfined to their homes for thepast two weeks represent thetoll of a minor epidemic of in-fluenza which has been operat-ing recently hereabouts. Pro-fessor D. C. Jackson, of theElectrical Engineering De.part-ment, has been suffering froma severe attack of rheumatism,he being the only one absentwho is not a "flu" victim.

Other ailIi ng professors i n-clude J. W. Howard '03, of theCivil Engineering epartment, L.S. Smith, of the Mechanical En-gineering Department, F. G.Keyes, and L. J. Gillespie, ofthe Department of Chemistry,O. G. C:. Dahl '21, of the Elec-trical Engineering Department,D. S. Tucker, of the EconomicsDepartment, and R. E. Rogers,of the English Department.

Advice For Business Letter iWriting Is Subject oft

Lecture Today|

Inaugurating a new custom, Profes-sor Winward Prescott of the Englishdepartment will today address theSenior Class and others interestedon the writing of business lettersand especially letters of application.Thle talk wvill be in room 2-190 at 3o'clock.

According to Professor Prescottthere are three main factors to beconsidered in Meriting this kind of let-ter. Neatness is the first necessity,and every letter should be neat, or-derly, and correctly arranged as thereader is obtaining his impression ofthe writer from the letter. Com-pleteness of information, the secondfactor, is perhaps the most impor-tant. The great fault of the major-ity of letters written by applicantsfor positions is the omission of imi-portanit details. All essential featuresshould be included in the letter. Forthe third consideration is the methodof approach and leaving the readerwith the best impression.

Competition Opens TodayA competition is flow being con-

ducted by THEi TECH for the bestletter of application received in an-swer to advertisements which will bepublished;, the first one appearing to-day. These will pertain to positionsinteresting men in the differentcourses. Letters should be sent toTHE TECH, room 302, Walker, andare due a week from today at nineo'clock. The best ones will be pub-lished withl the writers name-andthe poorer ones will be used to dem-onstrate the common faults-butwithout the wvriter's name appended.

NO) PLANS MADE FORFRESHMAN BANQUET

Would Be the First FreshmanSocial of Year

The president of the Class of 1929,when interviewed Tuesday, intimatedthat no thought has as yet been giventhe idea of holoding a freshman ban-quet in the near future. Last yearthe freshman class held a banquet onA pril 15, attended by over 2-00 men,tickets for which sold at $2.00 each.

So far this year no freshman so-cial funcetion has been held, nor havetentative plans been advanced for adance or other social affair. O~n April11, 1924, the Class of 1927, then thefreshman class, held a dance inWalker Memnorial, which attracted acrowd of over 500, with several mis-chief-bent Sophomores included. Thedance was conducted satisfactorily,however, with a few extra details,such-as an odor of limburger cheeseand another of hydrogen-sulfide per-meating the atmosphere, to enliventhe evening.

CIRCUJIT THEO~RYTO BE DISCUSSED

Three lectures. on electric circuittheory will be given by Mr. -John R.Carson onl Thursdays, -March 25th;April'1st and April 8th in room -10-275at 2: 00 P. M. The titles 'of these lec-_tures have been given-by Mr. Carsonas follows: - Electrlic Circuit 'rhebr'yand the Operational Calculus; Elec-tric Circuit Theory and the FourierIntegral; and third, ElectromagneticTheory and the Foundations of Elec-tric Circuit Theory. .

Mr. Carson is a member of the De-partment. of Developments and -Re-search of' the American' Telephoneand Telegraph- Company,' and is' internationally.-known for, hi's contribu--tions to the theory of electric circuits,'In'particular he has published manyinvaluable papers on operational cal-culus and on variable co-efficient cir-cuit theory.

WINNER TO RECEIVE $200

Past Songs Halve Met WithWith Little, Enthusiasm

Among Students

At a meeting of the Prize SongCommittee held last Thursday even-ing announcement was made of thecontest to be conducted this year.This will be the fourth contest of aseries of five and is open to all un-dergraduates, Alumni and to the Fxac-ulty. Songs should be submitted toJohn D. Drisko '27, or Orville B. Den-ison '11, any time before. October 1,1926, on which date the contest

Icloses. The usual $200 prize is tobe'awarded the winner.

This contest is the result of actiontaken in the spring of 1921 by agroup of undergraduates. With theencouragement and support of theAlumni Council a committee was or-g-anized to conduct a contest runningfor five yhears, with an annual $200prize. Fifty dollars to be contribu-ted each year toward the prize waspledged by the Alumni Council, TheMusical Clubs, Tech Show, and THETECH. At the! end of the five yearperiod the song proving most accepta-bule is to be designated as the Tech-nology Alma Mater Song.Both Words and MVusic Not Necessary

According to the Committee it isIlot necessary to submit both wordsand music with a song entered in thecompetition as new verses, which canbe sung to old music, are entirelyeligible for the prize. Last year the$-200 was awarded for a selection ofnew words to be sung to the music ofthe Stein Song.

Arthur E. Hatch '91, wvas the win-ner of the first prize offered and Pro-fessor George E. Russell '00, was theauthor of the successful selection inthe second year. Last year ProfessorL. M. Passano's verses fitted to themiusic of Bullard's Stein Song wontile prize.

Slight popular support wvas. accord-ed the first two songs by the studentbody and the Institute Committeela st year felt that this was dule tothe fact that the songs were. notgiven proper trial at undergr aduategatherinlgs. To, correct this in thease of the third song the Commnittee

passed a ruling that the prize song,"'The Courts of - M. 1. T." sh~ould bie

iubstituted for the Stein Song at allUndergraduate gatherings. Due'to the

mInost unanimous opposition of thestudent body this was revised" to havethe prize song sung in conjunction,vith the Stein Soiig.

According to Professor Henry G.Pearson, it is a debatable question

hether or not a college, by the stim-lus of competition, can call into ex-

stence a song "which- will appeal toGraduates and undergraduates- alikes expressing for them the emotionsf affection and loyalty which areunimed up in the words 'Almalater'."

IARMY CHAPLIN WASSPEAKER IN WALKER

At the weekly noonday service heldyesterday under the auspices of theTechnology Christian Association,the Rev. Roy L. Minich, pastor of theFirst Congregational Church in Mal-den, spoke on the subject, "Some Rea-sons Why I Am a Minister."

He showed that the creation ofman's hands are becoming so greatthat they threaten to dwarf man him-self, and that social relationships arebecoming sufficiently intricate thatwe need some source of understand-ing. We are discovering power morerapidly than we are learning theproper control of it, according to the:speaker, who cited the machines andchemicals discovered and used dur-ing the period of the World War.

R'Iev. Mr. Minich was a prominentfootball player while in college, andwas an Army chaplain overseas dur-inlg the World War.

IBROOKES RESIGNS ASICOMMITTEE HEADDue to illness, A. Sidney Brookes,

26, has resigned from the, position orchairman of the Senior Week Commit-tee. A successor will be chosen at a|meeting of the com'ittee to be heldnext Tuesday, afternoon at 5 o'clook inthe Committee Room, Walker.

This move was made necessary be-cause of the fact that Brookes will bequqairantined for about a month, andwould be unable to supervise -the ar-rangements for the activities of SenioiWeek. Jle will retain his position asClass Marshall, however.

CALLIOPE LEADS PARADE

It has been definitely decided to holdthe 1926 "Monster" Circus in the Cam-bridge Armory, directly across fromthe Institute on Massachusetts Ave-nlue, on the night of April 1, it wasannounced by the committee last nightafter the final consent of the custodianof the Armory had be-en obtained. Thisremoves the last obstacle in the wayof the Circus, and plans are rapidlybeing formulated by the various nr-ganizations to make this -the "mostcarefree frolic on record."

T-rouble is being encountered in fi-nancing the Circus inasmuch as con-trSibutions are not coming in the wlaythey saioinfld. The majority of the Ae-tivities have con ributed all averageof $25 each, lout the Combined Pro £es-sional Societies have not been heardfrom and thle dormitories are con-tri-buting a total of but $15. There arearound :300 men in the dormitories ascompared with the much smaller mem-bersfhlip in the activities.

Circus Expenses IncreaseDue to the increased cost of renting

the Armory, -amounting to $S0, the ex-peases of the Circus will be muchhigher than last year. The SeniorClass has given $50 and the JuniorClass $40. A gift of $25 has been re-ceived from Major Briggs.

Music at the "big top" will be pro-vided by a band which is being or-gartizebd by members of the MlusicalClubs and it is pilanned to have thementer, the parade which is to take placeat noon.

Miss Fay Lanphier to Return toHer Work on the Screen

In Near Future

Phosphorous may claim the pa-tronage of Miss Eleanor Boardman,but THE TECH is proud to announcethe patronage of Miss Fay Lanphier,"Miss America of 1925." We werereally rather afraid that Miss Lan-phier would appear annoyed at hav-ing t o meet some more of thesetroublesome interviewers the minuteshe had left the stage of the Metro-politan Theatre after her afternoonappearance yesterday, but she is ex-ceedingly adept at concealing any ap-pearance of boredom, and chatted aspleasantly and naturally as if inter-views were quite few and far be-tween.

Miss Lanphier is at present finish-ing a week's engagement in "Venusin Greenwich Village," at the Metro-politan Theatre and continues onl hertour next week, when she will appearin Buffalo. She has evidently pickedthe screen as her career for she ex-pects to go into training for a whileafter her present trip and then signup for the making of another picture.Of course next fail she will be pr~es-ent at the annual Atlantic City Beau-ty Pageant, held at Atlantic City, N.J., in September, where she willagain vie for the honor of claimingthe title, "Miss America."

Naturally THE TECH expectsMiss Lanphier to carry off the 1926beauty prize, although we would real-ly enjoy the affair if Voo Doo couldpersuade its patroness to competeforthe same prize in the spirit of thefriendly rivalry between the two pub-lications. But such is merely retro-spect.

In the course of the short chat,Miss Lanphier made a rather inter-esting statement concerning Bostonaudiences. She finds the average Bos-ton crowd of theatregoers rather coldand indifferent to the efforts of thoseon the stage in comparison to audi-eulces in other parts of the country.We have noticed this tendency quitefrequently, for whenever an attemptis made in a Boston theatre to getthe audience to join en masse in thesinging of some pop~ular song, thereis usually a great deal of persuasiveforce necessary before it is possibleto get a rise out of the audience.

Although this is Miss America'ssecond appearance in Boston, her im-pressions of the city are rather hur-ried, for she has been kept quite busyand, has not been able to see a greatdeal of her surroundings. Neverthe-less, the pride of our Alma Mater wasgreatly relieved when she remarkedthat she had seen the TechnologyBuildings, if only from a distance. Atany rate we extended the freedom ofthe Institute to her, in hopes that shemay really pay us a visit some day,so that we can say to Phos, "Now,show us Eleanor Boardman."

Realizing the need of the abilityamong Technology, students to writeintelligent and well-constructed let-ters in applying for positions in oneline or another of work, ProfessorWinward Prescott of the Departmentof English and History is address-ing the Seniors today in an effort togive them some idea of what is ex-pected of them when the time ar-rives for applying for a position inwhich to start their careers after re-ceiving the prized sheepskin.

The Department of English andHistory is 'vitally interested in see-ing that every Technology student befitted to write a good business letterand the heads of the various profes-siolnal courses urge that all studentstake this matter seriously and see toit that they can fulfill this importantrequisite of the trained engineer.

Best Letters PublishedIn co-operation with the Depart-

ment of English and History and inorder to stimulate interest in abilityto write good letters of application,THE TECH is initiating a competi-tion. Letters of application for posi-tions will be submitted to THETECH in answer to a series of ad-vertisements which will appear fromtime to time on this page. The let-ters which are most representativeof the requirements for a good appli-cation will be selected and publishedwith the writer's name. In contrastto these the worst examples will alsobe printed but the identity of theauthor will not be disclosed.

The advertisements which will berun will cover work in the field ofeach of the major courses of studyand will be run in order of the coursenumbers. The first advertisement,which appears herewith, is designedto attract men studying Civil Engin-eering, the work of Course I. Let-ters, to be considered in this firstcontest, must be in THE TECH'Sbuiness office, room 302, Walker, aweek from this morning at nineo'clock.

The abilIity to write a goodreport or letter is of great im-portance to Civil Engineers.The Civil Engineer in his pro-fessional practice comes intocontact with people in 211 walksof life and must be able to pre-sent his opinions clearly tothose who have no technicalknowledge of the subject underconsideration. His ability topresent his views in writing Isfully as important as any partof his professional qualifica-tions. With respect to lettersof application those which arewritten in poor style with mis-spelt words and ungrammati-cal expressions are likely to befiled in the waste basket.

SPRING FEVER

IN TH1E spring a young man's fancy becomes sentimental, not alonewith thoughts of love but with more serious thoughts-his ac-

complishments. Especially is this true with the student about tograduate. Every year there are a few in the graduating class whohave the idea that they- have missed the point in obtaining theircollege education. They are persons who grumble at everybodyand everything.

It remains to be seen that the reason for the predicament ofthese "conscientious objectors" lies in their attitude. An inastitu-tion is so large that it seems impossible to place all the blame uponit, as the objectors are prone to do. A school endeavors to strikea happy medium to do the most. good for the greatest number ofpeople. Unfortunmately it is not possible to satisfy everyone, forthe mental ability of the individual must be considered. In thewords of another-"Colleges no more expect to make great schol-ars, or educators, or religious leaders out of fools and dullardsthan the make rs of silk purses can hope to obtain the finest prod-ucts from the ears of unfortunate pigs." ~

If the student complains of the system in the educational com-munity it is possible that he has outgrown his surroundings or gen-erally that he. has a bad case of swelled head. In either case, tobe justified in receiving a ditploma he should have sought a newsphere for his endeavors. Colleges in America are not perfect, norare they perfect in any other country. If they were there wouldstill be a few malcontents. Discontent with the present educationalsystem is only justified when constructive criticism is offered.

IDEALISM AND THE LEAGUE

'J~kTH would have thought six years ago that Germany would beTT delivering an ultimatum to the Allied Powers? Who wouldhave thought that a nation suffering such an ignominous defeat wouldregain, in such a few short years, her former prestige? That, today,is the situation. Germany has refused to enter the League of Na-tions unless she does so alone. Decision has been deferred -untilnext fall, but nevertheless it has been a great moral victory forGermany.

Indeed, the outcome of the recent sessions of the League ofNations proves conclusively that man has not suddenly sprouted'winefs as some would have us believe. No, people are just the sameas they always were, and in Europe it is even so with regard to thestruggle for the balance of power. Yes, that much sought afterbalance still commands the attention of all. As in days of old,it is the same struggle: nations straining and fighting to' keep theupper hand-petty politics and ihternatiollal intrigue holding thestage.

AWe in Amnerica will do well to contemplate thoroughly thesituation. To many, it will mean lost faith in reformedt nationalpolitics. That is one of life 's tragedies: the disillusionist of allidealist. They may be better men themselves by what they believe;but idealism is the hardest thing in the world to teach nations. Atall times, idealism its a subject requiring discrimination of the mostcareful kind, lest practicality 'be lost sight of. It is just this dis-crimination wbi-ch we musst exercise to keep from being embroiledin the stew-pot of European politics.

AT ONC:E!

WE HAVE already suggested that Spring is almost here. As the,ice leaves the river and leaves behind a winter's accumula-

tion of flotsam exposed to viewv, so the ice on Oha'rles River Roadonce more reveals all the ruts and chuck holes that have appearedas a result of heavy trucking, bad wreather, and negligent upkeep.Charles River Road, on the Institute side, its so deeply rutted thatit is no longer safe for night travel. A light automobile mighteasily be overturned were -it to strike one of these asphalt pro-tuberances.

True enough, our side of the road i's set aside for commercialtraffic. but enough Institute students and inlstructors drive overthat side to make its upkeep worth while. Why doesn't the Clityof Cambridge or the Metropolitan District Commissiton, or whoeverhas Charles River Road under its jurisdiction-why doesn't someonegot busy on a much needed repair job?

MEN'S WEARe ATTHE COOP

By Paul Keough '29Starting out without veterans or coach, the Varsity wrestlers

gradually improved throughout the season, winding up with a secondplace in the New England Intercollegiates. The record of the team,with five wins and as many losses, is not startling, but the Institutecan feel that it was represented by men who made a remarkableshowing under the circumstances.

Cross country and distance trackmen have been having some strenu-ous workouts on the grass courselately trying to keep pace with Cap-tain-elect Akerley. Akerly bids fairto be a good leader for the Cardinaland Gray outfit.

With the dearth for high; jumpersstill prevalent on the track team it isa wonder such men as "Bobt" Dexterand Hobson, who, it is rumored, con-sistently jumped six feet while inprep school, wouldn't be showingthemselves about the track house.

"Captain Jinks," a musical comedy,is an adaptation of a Clyde Fitch play

l of twenty odd years ago, by Mandeland Schwab, plus the sugar coatingof music and song by Gensler, Jones,and De Sylva. There are severalchefs involved, in the making of thisshow, wh~ose names are not at thetop of the page of show manufac-turers. Ada May Weeks holds theleading feminine role as Mlle. Su-zanne Trentoni, and Louis Templeton.acts Captain Jinks. There are oth-ers in the cast, who perform as wellas these two, but they are less luckyas to parts.

A marine officer, an army officerand a sailor bet as to the "making"of a French theatrical idol by the"teufel-hunde" at the pier in NewYork. The usual complications arefound to mess up the love affair longenough to stretch the show to threeacts, with the "'clinch set-up" just be-fore the chorus and company comeon to sing us out.

Musical comedy, if this is a goodexample, may be divided into aboutas many parts as there are makers,to wit, story (now non-essential),tunes, lyrics, dancing specialties,jokes, scenery, and costumes. "Cap-tain Jinks" has-oh-music of a sort,none of which will stick; in fact, thetunes seem to be a rehash of those

offered for six years back. The com-edy is well-dressed as to players andchorus. The chorus is pleasing andsplendidly trained. In fact, the wholecast works like well-oiled machinery.

I think that there's the flaw in thismusical comedy. Too many handshave worked over the thing so hard,the life, the spontaneity has beenknocked out, leaving us a cake-yes-but a soggy cake hidden under aload of frosting. The company workshard to put it over the footlights;they deserve a better vehicle. Butthe stale story and re-treated tunes,jokes et cetera almost ruin theirchalce.

WRESTLERS FINISHSUCCESSFUL YEAR(Continued from Page 3)

bout by a fall against Yale, whilenone of the wrestlers were thrownby the powerful Brown matmen.

Oil a week-end trip to New York,the team was fairly successful, over-whlelming Rennselaer Poltyechnic In-stitute and losing to Syracuse by aclose score. Cullen, Harris, andFranks were the individual stars in

these meets, as each won twobouts.

On1 March 10, the wrestlers metTufts at Medford in a return meetanld succeeded in reversing the for-muer verdict when Staebner won b~y

a tal ill the last bout, giving Tech-nology a 15 to 14 victory. The mat-mtenl secured all even break for theyear b~y defeating Stevens inl the finalmeet by the score of 15 to 9 onl Marcli13.

Second in New EnglandsFor the New Englana Intercollegi-

ates, held on March 19 and 20 theprospects of the team were not verygood, but the men came through ingood fashion and scored second placeill a field of six. Rabinovitz, Har-ris, and Franlks were runners-up intheir divisions and it was only by thehardest of breaks that Burke was de-prived of a championship.

Harris, the- 145-pounld star, was thehigh scorer on the team by virtue ofeight victories, including seven falls.Capt. Franlks proved a close runningmiate with seven victories, in whichhe threw five opponents. In the NewEnglands Franks did particularlywell, as he deferated two of the menwho had previously beaten him. Rab-inlovitz, whose record up to that timewas not very good, did exceptionallywell in the Intercollegiates, throwingtwo men and gaining- second place.

Prospects BrightTwo sophomores on the team who

are expected to develop into stars areCullen and Parks. Cullen won threebouts and forced Mowatt of theNortheastern, runner-up in the 115-pound class, in the Intercollegiates,to overtime periods before losing.Parks, who has had no experience,lost three bouts by decision, andwhen on the verge of making a goodshowing became ill, so that he wasnot able to compete in the Intercol-legiates. Staebner, and Parks willmake a finee pair of heavyweights for

Technology nlext year.

Prospects for next year are excel-lenlt. The entire team will be elig-ible next year, and this is especiallysignificantt ill view of the fact thatBrownv and Harvard are both losingmost of their veterans. la addition tothe Varsity men,, a number of fineepr opsects are. coming up from thefreshman team, including DerMarder-osiail. Glen, Bacon and Burke. The interclass meet held this year alsobrought out a number of men, so thatthe squad next year is -expected -tobee one of the best for -a long time.

Professor Waterhouse Will Ex-plain Course III

F. Option 2

Tioday, Professor George B. Water-house, head of the Option on Metall-lurgy, will give the fourth of the se-rib~s of lectures outlining Institutecourses offered to the freshmen.

Profeslsar Waterlhouse intends toopen his lecture by telling the firstyear men what metallurgy is and es-pecially what it is not. Many people-have, the wrong impression of whatmetallurgy really takes up. He willattempt -to show the size of the indus-try and how Technology men will fitin. Many automobile plants buy theirmetal, and the prlocess of working themetal requires -technical training,whioh this course affords

Men have the opportunity of choos-ing tile type of work they desire aftergraduation. They can work in croxwdx-ed -communities or in the unsettledmining districts in other countries.

Summer Camps Short

A complete outline of the coursewill follow. T~he summer work is un-usually short. It covers two weeks-during the summer following the sec-ond year and once week following the,third. To -acquaint mien with prac-tical wrork ill metallurgy, ProfessorWaterhouse will attempt to obtainwork during the summers for thosemen -desiring it. In the past he hasbeen able to supply every man witha job.

F-or those Students who elect R. O.T. C. work in the Ordinance Depart-men~t, the United States Governmenitwill accept the students work in metal-lurgy a~s the necessary requirementsfor his commission, with the exceptionof 30 hours' work in the summer fobl-lowving the third year. Of course, tlheregular camp work of the R. O. T. C.is required.

Four more lectures vIl~l be given onMonday, Wednesday, Thulrsday andFriday of next week.

Sulli-van, G., captain of the varsity team,while the judges will be Mr. Mawsonof 'the River School, Mr. MauriceLacey of the West Roxbury H~ighSchool, and Mr. Arthur B. Perry ofthe Milton Academy.
