Leaving the Institute to spend a"our-day spring recess at home, stud-ents have been departing by train,bus, and airplane during the past fewUays till the campus has taken on adeserted look.

Walking down the long corridorsof the Institute buildings your report-rfrom THE TECH was impressed bye unusual silence prevailing, and

even in the Main Lobby, where invari-bly something is doing, only arosy student poring over a bookght the expectant eye. The hustle

nd bustle of a few days ago was gonend only a few students, who eitherjmmute daily or live at too great aisf;anoe to return home for the briefcation, were to be seen.

Miniature bombs andnoisemakers have been explod-ing in the halls there much tothe discomfort and disturbanceof students, who finally tooksteps to prevent further demon-strations.

An enormous paper bag filledwith water was tied to a ropeand swung from above into) thewindow of a suspect. Becausethings have quieted down sincethe deluge, it is believed thatthe perpetrator of the explos-ions has been chastised, and hisspirits considerably dampened.

Last night a few lights were burn-ing in the dormitories, some oil stud-ents feverishly packing for their tripshome, others on those few who arewaiting till the recess officially begins.

Suspend Some ClassesAmong other things, the sophomore

optics laboratories discontinued class-es yesterday and today, and severalchemistry professors dismissed theirclasses. Patronage at Walker DiningHalls has fallen off considerably dur-ing the past few meals and will pro-b-ably continue to decrease as thestudents stream from the school.

The vacation coming as it does inthe eleventh week of the school term,leaves five weeks of preparation to thereturning men for the final examina-tions. Throughout the entire institu-tion the effects of the approaching va-cation are evident, with business atthe "Coop" diminished, fewer cars tobe seen in the parking grounds, andquieter buildings.

Goal By Substitute, 15 SecondsFrom End of Contest, Is

Victory Margin

After outplaying their opponentsfor most of the game the Technologystickmen were nosed out by Tufts 2-1last Saturday when a long shot by aJumbo substitute fifteen seconds fromthe end of the game caught Borger,Engineer goalie, by surprise, and spedpast him for the winning margin. Thegoal broke up a 1-1 tie and endedwhat seemed destined for an overtimegame.

The contest was one of the most in-teresting played on Coop Field forsome time. The teams were veryevenly matched, as had been predict-ed, and at no point was there anylistless play. The Engineers did, how-ever, carry the attack to their oppon-ents for the major part of the contest,and only a lack of co-ordinationaround the Tufts cage prevented themfrom scoring several times.

Geil Is BrilliantThe defense performed extremely

well and broke up many potentialJumbo tallies. The work of CaptainRalph Geil was particularly brilliant,and he was the only member of theteam to score. Borger did some finework in the cage and made many good

After hiding behind the clouds forseveral Nveeks the sun came out Sat-urday afternoon long enough so thatOscar Hedlund could hold his trackmeet. It was the first outdoor meet ofthe season and was a great success,even if the track was a little bitsoggy. Another meet similar to thisone will be held this coming Satur-day.

Coach Hedlund wants it clearlyunderstood that practice sill be heldevery day during the vacation, includ-ing Wednesday, even though it is aholiday. This practice is very import-ant, and any of the men wvho can pos-sibly- be out should attend, for every-one on the team is far behind sched-ule in practice.

CONQUER THE BLIGHT!FOR the conscientious lads wh o just can't cuit classes, these two

Fdays before the spring vacation have been just a itile dis-tasteful, to say the least. To travel over two h1uIdred miles forjust a four day leave of absence is futile. Not all of the seriousminded engineers are conscientious, however. There was aigeneralexodus for points North, Soutll and West over the week-end. Thleyleft, for the most part, with little prickings of the consciencewhich were too wreak to heave any real effect.

Sever al of the professors realizing- that there would be scantyattendance at their classes, called them off. With the crew mendown at Annapolis, and manyr of tile carefree lads playingabout at home, some of the classes looked as though a blight hadhit the Illstitute. If the same conditions are in evidence nextyear we predict that the symptoms will bie even worse. To thecasual observer, it will appeal that the boug heas taken a firm hold.

Exterminate the bLi-gextend the holiday !

IT'S NOT ALWAYS FAIR WEALTHE-YALE praofesso-r recently stated that it was a mistake to

Aidiscourage students from drinkving beer. Beer, he claims, isharmless physically and advantageous socially. Some freshmenattending a recent chemistry lecture were treated to a slightlydifferent aspect of thle situationl, however. According to a wellknown Institute professor it is a common practice among brewersto put into their product a substance which deadens the nerves ofthle stomach. Try a little of the new 3.2 and find out why.

Since the return of legal brew consumption has been well upto production. Not forgretting that people have been known todrink varnish in mistake for whiskey, this is a sign of a nobleeffort on the part of the publlic. Technology men have done theirpart and done it with a vengeance but the end appears to bie near-at hland. Somehow the stuff doesn't taste quite the same as it didon that first night.

Beer may be an advantage socially b~ut there are a laro-e num-ber elf engineering students wcho juIst can't take it-or won't.

SUCCESSTHIE kinds of success are manyr, to the many individuals. There

is success from the viewpoint of the individual. And there issuccess from the viewpoint of society.

For the individual -may be the achievement of a goal whichthe has set for himself. The scientist sees as a g-oal the advance-ment of knowledg-e. The engineer sees as a goal the effective co-n-:trol. of material by tile application of knowledge.

But there is another kind of success for the individual, selffulfillment. Some of the Greeks believed that self fulfillment wasgood in and bzy itself. Wie hold that they were right. And possiblythe men who have the minds ofe scientists or of engineers may bestfind self fulfillment by creative work in their professions. To judgeif a man has been a success froma t-he viewpoint of society we needbut ask, "Does the world need miore men of this type and of thecalibre of this man?2" Andi if the answer is emphatically i'Yes",we know that here is one who has been successful.

Dr. Dewey and Dr. Linda-yen heave been successful as indi-viduals, measuriing up to the Greek aimz, and they have been suc-cessful from the viewpoint of society. They leave the Institutewith outstanding, recor ds for service and achlievemlent behindtheml. They are to be congratulated.

No student should hesitate to co_on his instructor or department heabecause of fear that he will be tho~ug~r.,stupid, or seeking to give an inipre._Sion of deep interest, or because i.fears to incur an unfavorable opinic,on the p~art of his fellows.

tTo the Editor of THE TECHL:ie Mr. Bell's letter in the Open Forun

of your issue of April 7 calls attenption to a matter of real importance t(I.the Institute, and demands the calefurattention of both student body and iT.

~e structing staff. The lack of furtlerd letters on this matter might indicat(

that it is not a burning question i].the student mind, but Tatber

smouldering belief in a condition foiwvhich no relief is available.

Doubtless the suggestion that lacln of contact exists -will come as a suere prise to most of us. The desirability

-of most friendly and liberal contact- between students and staff membeTso) has long been recognized by the Fac-

nly- and in general by the stara whole. It is perhaps true that this

econtact has not been as great in rec-ent years as in the period clears agoWhenlel the number of students aseaoiilly half as great as inows, and when

a lhe complexity of our work was muchless than at present. The 'fact -was

trecognized by the Faculty Committeeswhich revrielved the excellent "Report

on Undergraduate Curriculum andthe Student-Faculty Contact" madeby a co-mmittee of undergraduates in1928, andl which led to the formation

,f O Lbe Student-Faculty Committee.IThe first recommendation of thisstudent report wvas as follows: "That

.instructors be more available to stud-

.ents than they are at present, the defi-;nite hours to be clearly indicated on,their office doors, and tile instructorslto be present at the scheduled time."

The Faculty Committee commentedon this recommendation as follows:"This recommendation is approved,and it is furthier suggested that atleast three conference or offlce hoursper wveelc should be set aside for con-sultations Mwith students; that thesehours be regarded as a part of theteaching schedule of the instructor;

and that students should be expectedto make their inquiries at such speci-fied periods." It wsas recognized thatthis might not always be possible, butit is at least generally possible forthe student to make a definite appoint-ment for a meetin g at some othertime.

Many instructors posted hours for|consultation as suggested, y et therer esulted -no marked increase in coni-~sultations. Perhaps those instructorsmost likely to be sought wvere remsissin keeping the hours as posted, andthe new men may not have been askedto reserve consultation hours.
