~10,000 Scholarship Fund for

Masons and Acacians Her husband's twin interests in education and in Masonry were cited as motivating factors in the $10,000 gift to the scholarship fund of Syracuse University made by Mrs. Herbert W. Greenland. The sum will establish the Herbert W. Greenland Masonic Scholarship Fund, according to the university. Income from this fund will provide 'scholarships for children of members of the Masonic order with preference being given to members of the Acacia !Fraternity, and to be awarded on the basis of financial need rather than scholastic achievement." Herbert Greenland, who died October 27, 1927, at the age of 75, was n honorary member of Acacia and !had a keen interest in the Fraternity and in Masonry. He assisted the Fraternity financially and otherwise during his lifetime and was well liked by all the men. who knew him. Born in Weymouth in the south of England, Brother Greenland was brought to this country by his parents when he was still an infant, began work when he was fourteen, and through his efforts, study, and travel, became highly educated- reading most of the classics in their original versions rather than in English translation. He was active in Syracuse insurance Âˇcircles and was a thirty-third degree Mason.

* Military Colleges Get Army Priority

An Associated Press release announced recently that the nation's eight recognized military colleges will be given first priority on assignment of students in the army's revised specialized training program. Army plans for next year call for a greatly reduced training program in connection with all colleges according to Senator Maybank of South Carolina. Its size will depend on the number of 17 -year-old students who wish to participate. The eight military colleges listed for top priority are the Citadel and Clemson, in South Carolina; Virginia Military Institute; Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Texas A. and M., Pennsylvania Military College, Georgia Military College, and Norwich University, Vermont. After these, priorities will be assigned to R.O.T.C. colleges, male colleges, and co-educational colleges in that order.

Christianity Not a Form But a Force By DR. HARRY EMERSON FOSDICK N THE second letter to Timothy is a description of a formal, conventional Christian, that our standard versions render thus: "Holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof." Dr. Moffatt, however, uses more pungent language: "Though they keep up a form of religion, they will have nothing to do with it as a force." That describes many people. In the United States today there are between fifty and sixty million members of Christian churches, and were Christ's faith and way of life a vital force in anything like that number, the condition of this country would be far better than it is. Gratefully appreciating the genuine faith and character in our churches, yet when one surveys the scene as a whole, one understands the lines of a modern poet:

plunged the whole world into blood and tears is not a form but a force. My soul, what a force it is-vital, dynamic, sacrificial, terrific, massing millions behind an anti-Christian philosophy and way of life! My friends, we cannot meet a force with a form. It takes a dynamic force to conquer a dynamic force. Âˇ All great faiths confront now this demand for reality. Democracy, for example. Of how many "of us, conventional believers in democracy and inheritors of its political routine, is it true that though we have kept up the

"They're praising God on Sunday. They'll be all right on Monday. It's just a little habit they've acquired." This conventional acceptance of religion as a form, with no corresponding experience of it as a force, is easily understandable. Of the American population as a whole two things can be said. First, we are not pagans, utterly untouched by the influence of the Christian heritage. Rather, the longaccumulated effect of Christian teaching, mediated in endless ways, through our literature, our family traditions, and our social customs, has become part and parcel of us, so that we know in general what the Christian faith is all about. And second, we are not, on the whole, antagonistic to Christianity, but rather, respectful and even reverent toward it and grateful that it is here. While, however, the overwhelming proportion of us are thus neither pagan in our ignorance of Christianity nor atheistic in our opposition to it, multitudes of us, vaguely acquiescent in it, complacent' toward it, and occasionally observant of its outward expressions, fulfill exactly the description of our text: We have a form of religion but have nothing to do with it as a force. As Stanley Jones put it, inoculated with a mild form of Christianity, we have become immune to the genuine article. Today, however, this kind of nebulous, conventional Christianity confronts a challenge that concerns us all, for the anti-Christian attack that has

form of democracy, we have had all too little to do with it as a force? Intellectually acquiescent in its theories without being personally dedicated to see that it really works, vaguely b~lieving in it in general but not taking it in earnest as a way of living seven days a week, consenting to it as an Election Day technique but not experiencing it as a spirit that must inform all our social, economic, and racial relationships-alas, democracy too has been to multitudes of us not a force but a form! And now totalitarianism, prodigiously powerful, is let loose in the world, and if, in the long run, democracy is going to win, it must become in the hearts of millions of us no longer a conventionality but a reality. Well, that is true of .Christianity. Consider, for one thing, that Christianity becomes vital in our lives when it meets a deep and consciously felt need. No one could convince us that food is a mere form-we need it. No one could persuade us that inventive science or the physician's skill is a mere form-they meet urgent wants. One major reason why Christianity has been to many only a convention-

ality is that they have felt no crucial necessity that only that could meet. Doubtless you read in the papers recently the amazing story of a group of American fliers, forced down on a South Sea island, who spent weeks with the natives there before they could escape. These natives had been under the influence of missionaries and were Christians; and believe it or not those American boys say that, persuaded by those South Sea islanders, they became Christians there, and returning, they announce for the world to hear that as for them they too are Christians now. One's first reaction is to say, How come? Surely those American boys, brought up in our schools and very probably in our churches, had heard all about Christianity before. Why, on a South Sea island, under the influence of converted natives, should it cease being to them a form and become a force? To which, of course, the answer is that it takes more than seed to make a crop-it takes soil. And when it comes to planting the gospel, a necessary ingredient of the soil is a sense of moral and spiritual need. There on a South Sea island those young men faced a situation that opened up in them a profound and conscious want that they discovered Christ's faith and way of life could fill. Though it be in less dramatic ways, that kind of experience is being called for among all of us. Personally and socially we are up against destructive forces. Discouragement is a force. Pessimism, fear, disillusionment, cynicism assail our souls with a power, before which only a resistant power can stand. And as for moral life in these days of separated families and disintegrated human relationships, passion and devil-may-care recklessness of decent standards threaten even those who had thought themselves most safe. What if in some of us today a deep and conscious need should reveal for the first time that Christ, his faith about life, his way of living life, his power for sustaining life, is food for our hunger, water for our thirst, medicine for our sickness, and power to carry on-not a form, but a force! As for the world at large, I ask you --do you want anti-Christ to win? No preacher need paint a fancy picture of him now. We can see him-antiChrist-the embodied exhibition of godless philosophies of life and ways

The Triad, March, 1944 of living. Do we like him? Well, then, if we do not, Christianity must become a force in this world, and at that point there is no passing of the buck to some abstraction or even to the church. That is up to you and me, millions of us, to whom the Christian faith ceases to be a form and becomes dynamically real. Consider further that any religion, Christianity in particular, becomes a force not only when in general we wake up to our need of it but when it is personally experienced as a source of inward power. The saddest failure of the church is not hypocrisy. I bear witness after many years in the ministry that I have run into mighty little conscious, deliberate hypocrisy. The saddest failure of the church is seen in men and women like one member of a New York City parish who said to his minister, "I have been a church member since I was baptized twentyfive years ago. Why has nothing vital happened to me in all that time?" So! He knew about Christianity; he believed it; he had been observant of its customs and a servant of its institutions, but after twenty-five years it looked to him more and more like a form, because he never had gone down to its depths where the power of God becomes a reliable resource in daily living. Believe me, I have lived with church members too long not to know that there are some such listening in today! When we think about conversion we commonly think of Prodigals suddenly turning homeward, of drunkards recovered from their alcoholism and debauchees transformed by the renewing of their minds. Such miracles of personal renovation do take place, but some of the most notable conversions are of another kind-church members who never have doubted Christianity, who have for years been acquiescent in it and observant of its outward expression, who suddenly make a great discovery-it works! It actually works. When translated into the terms of daily life as a resource of inward power, overcoming fear, re-enforcing courage, making one an adequate personality equipped for life, able to do what one ought to do and to endure what one must stand, it works. It is not simply creed but personal power, not a form but a force! May God grant some such conversion here today. I had a letter recently from one of our members in Sicily. When he was here a few months ago he was a musician, a promising young composer. Now he is a captain at the front. They have had no chaplain with his unit and he has made himself responsible for the spiritual needs of his men.

39 Among other things he wr ites this : "These boys are very 'practical' about their religion. That is, they actually look to it for strength to bear their immediate problems." Well, I should say so! Put men into the situation that war confronts them with and of what use is religion as a form? One of t wo things you do with religion then, either you discard it as useless or else you rediscover it as an inner secret of personal power . It is not war alone, however, that confronts us with that choice. Ordinary life can be tragic too, and soon or late failure, disaster, illness, gr ief, fall on every life, and men and women do one of two things with this Christianity they have been mildly acquiescent in. Either they throw it away as an empty conventionality or else they rediscover it as a personal power. Some here today are facing that choice: You have kept up religion as a form, but you have reached the end of that road. No form is adequate now. Far from being at Christianity's end, however, this might be for you its great beginning. "Strengthened with might by God's Spirit in the inner man"that is Christianity, not a form but a force! Come further now and see that Christianity becomes a dynamic reality in life not only when we wake up to our need of it and discover in it a resource of personal power but when we are convinced that its basic faiths are everlastingly true. One of the supreme hours in human experience arrives when a man gets his eye on something concerning which he is persuaded that it is the eternal truth, and so finds himself not so much possessing something as being possessed by something to which his mind and heart belong. That is religion-not keeping up a form but being captured by a truth concerning which one is sure that, come hell or high water, it is ever lastingly so! For myself I never found that experience more real than now so far as the basic propositions of the Christian gospel are concerned. Part of the reason, I doubt not, is the clarity and honor with which the alternative propositions are now presented-incarnate anti-Christianity in full operation. ÂˇWhen men tell us now that Christianity has broken down, the answer leaps up out of this appalling situation. Is it Christianity that has proved false?, Is it not the alternatives to Christianity that threaten the world and commit assault and battery on everything most worth our care? Take even the realm where the Christian way of life is most beset with

difficulty now-the conflict b et ween violence and goodw ill as the sovereign power and ultimate organizer of the wor ld. Anti-Chr istianity say s that only violence can fill the bill, that war is the law of life, that migh t makes righ t. Christianity says that that is false, and that something else altogether is t rue, namely, that no salvation is possible on ear th save in goodwill-intelligent, constructive, creative goodwill, too strong to be swamped by hatred, too persistent to be tired out by wrong, too hard-headed to be taken advantage of by deceivers, too wor ld-wide t o be hemmed in by prejudice. There is the world's choice today, Chr ist versus anti-Christ, and as for me I am convinced that Christ is everlastingly right. If someone says, "But see how futile goodwill is to meet the necessities of such an hour as this and put out the conflagration of our time," I answer, "When upon a great fire a few buckets of water are thrown and "the fire still rages, would you argue that therefore water is of no avail in quenching fire?" My friend, the fact remains that water alone can put out the fire-only you must have enough of it intelligently applied. A few buckets will not do, and their inadequacy proves nothing. So despite the failure of our little, partial, hesitant experimentations with organized goodwill, the abiding, long-range truth is that man's salvation lies there alone, where the Master said it lies-in the increase of patient, persistent, undiscourageable, intelligent, organized, hard-headed goodwill. Well, to be gripped by such convictions makes Christianity not a form but a force. May God multiply the number of those who so see it! Finally, consider that Christianity becomes a dynamic power in life when it becomes a strong, organized, devoted fellowship. All through this sermon, I doubt not, some have been thinking of the church, its worship, its ritup.ls, its creeds, its conventional observances, as the very quintessence of formal religion. Well, the church can be that. That is the church's danger as it is the danger of all institutions, but the church need not be that. My friends, the forces of evil in this world are too strong to be met by isolated individuals. Organized evil must be met by an organized fellowship of mep and women, jointly devoted to nobler ends, and that the church can be. Moreover, with all its appalling failures, the church has not altogether missed being that. In seeming contradiction to what we (Concluded on page 54)

College Graduates at 18 By JOHN R. TUNIS Condensed from The Christian Science Monitor HERE's a revolution taking place right now in American education: boys and girls of 15 are going to college and graduating with an A.B. degree at 18. Robert M. Hutchins, president of the University of Chicago, is attempting .to prove that between the ages of 15 and 18 youngsters are peculiarly receptive to ideas. He believes that this is the time when ideas germinate, and that it is the period for a liberal education. So President Hutchins takes students from the sophomore year in high school and makes it possible for them to finish their college work three years later. To those who object that youngsters of 15 are too immature for a college education, sponsors of the plan point out that Thomas Jefferson went to college at 15 and received his A.B. at 18, John Hancock was graduated from Harvard at 17 and Samuel Adams at 18. Most of the other founding fathers of this Âˇ Republic finished their schooling at similarly early ages. In 1832 one fourth of the freshman class at Harvard were younger than 15 years and six months. A typical course at Chicago today is one in which the students read the great books of history- Gibbon, Hume, Plutarch, Herodotus and John Stuart Mill, for example. But they don't take notes or memorize dates ; instead, they are taught to think about the eternal problems of the raceproblems that unfortunately are still with us. The morning I visited this class the students w ere outlining the causes of the French Revolution. One youngster mentioned the word "democracy." Im mediately the instructor asked him to define the term. These boys and girls had played verbal basketball with that word, but now for the first time they were requir ed to think deeply about it and to inter pret their ideas. P1Âˇesident Hutchins believes it is impossible,_in these unpredictable times,

to train students specifically for an unpredictable future. But they can be trained to think, so that no matter where they find themselves in after life they can face new problems quietly, coolly, and think them through to the end. Instead of offering a number of courses from which students may take

their pick, the University of Chicago provides a system of required courses that must be taken by all. These include the studies that have made men civilized: the physical sciences and philosophy, literature, art and music. In addition, there is a three-year course in writing, because the University believes that as a student learns to think he should also learn how to communicate his knowledge. Is this really a thorough education? There has been talk lately about college students' ignorance of American history. At Chicago the students meet American history their first year in Humanities. They get it from another angle in Rhetoric the second yearfrom Jefferson, Burke, Paine and the Feder alist papers. They get it the third year in English Composition, when they read as models some of the American classics, and from Political Science which is concerned with prob-

lems of freedom in our modern society. Attendance, after the first year, counts for nothing; the student is judged largely by yearly examinations for which he cannot prepare by merely taking notes or cramming. Answers must come from the student's thinking. The youngsters are not overworked. This is not a college course designed solely for the top tenth of the class; these are just normal boys and girls. You realize as you talk to them that we usually underrate our children. Chicago students work hard through the three years without the usual extended Âˇsummer vacations -if they take vacations the course is four years. The percentage of failures is about 2.5, which is lower than it was before the plan was introduced. But college is more than work, books and study. Boys and girls at Chicago have the usual extracurricular activities; as well as an extensive program of intramural athletics in which coaches instruct students in games that can be played also in later life. Students average two hours' daily study out of class, and last year half the graduating class averaged 15 hours of work away from campus each week. . In the first year the girls get the best marks. The boys pull along slowly, catch up the second year and go ahead in the third. Many parents question the advisability of letting youngsters loose in a big city at 15 or 16 years of age. But in his first year at Chicago the student lives in a small dormitory, with a master in the house. He must attend all his classes; there is restriction on his coming and going, and a faculty member oversees his daily work and studies. .Most of the Chicago faculty like this plan because it gives them serious, tough-minded students. It's fun to work with intelligent youngsters. Some faculty members are not behind the idea. (Concluded on page 54)

Teen- Age Rejectees A wartime casualty on the home front. By CARROL C. HALL From The Rotarian Robert was behaving "queerly." He avoided friends. He no longer had "dates." Nothing interested him. He spent long hours alone in his room. He especially disliked being in public places where there were likely to be uniformed servicemen. What was wrong with Robert? His father and mother knew, and so did his tormenting little brother. A forgotten touch of rheumatic fever had left a blight on his heart-and he was turned down for military service. A teen-age rejectee. There are many Roberts these days, everywhere. In the United States nearly 80,000 boys of the 18-year class are being inducted monthly, or about 950,000 a year. But almost that number will fail to pass the physical examination. Fitting them into society and preserving their personalities present a new problem. OldeÂˇr men rejected for military services often are married and have jobs. But the teen-age rejectees haven't acquired the emotional stability of full manhood. Often they are still in school -sitting in classes depleted by induction of their friends . Only persons close to youth can understand how deep the hurt of their own unfitness goes, how lasting may be the scar. The tragedy of the teen-age rejectee lies mostly in the fact that he never dreamed he would fail to make the grade. The bad news from the doctor comes as a distinct psychological shock. Take Ed's case, for instance. His eyes have always been bad. However, when corrected with glasses, he has been able to do schoolwork and to carry on other activities. Now those eyes are preventing his joining his pals in military service. Bill's case was even more striking. The Army physical examination revealed the presence of a long-hidden pulmonary disease. Now his parents are faced with the problem of getting him to respond to proper rest and medical advice. He feelsÂˇ as though the cards are stacked against him--so what's the use?

IGHTEEN-YEAR-OLD

Earl's parents had warned him that his diabetic condition might cause him to be rejected. It took a 4-F classification to make the boy realize the seriousness of his physical condition. Now he is despondent and sees no future for himself. Others have been rejected because of childhood injuries or illnesses. These are physical defects that under ordinary conditions would be unnoticed and offer no serious handicap to normal living. Only the war demand for physical health has made themand others--<!onscious of their disability. Some boys have been crippled all their lives. For them no hopes of military service have been built up. Both they and their friends understand the situation. An apparently healthy young man not in uniform always raises a question. It is one which these teen-age rejectees must constantly answer whether spoken or implied : "Why aren't you in the service?" Every time it comes up it must be answered-or avoided. And it is extremely trying and embarrassing for a teen-age youth, apparently physically perfect, to justify the fact that he is not in uniformall through no fault of his own. One father t.ells how his family spent a week getting their boy to resume normal life after his rejection. The first time the lad attended church a thoughtless oldster blurted out that barbed question to him-and a week's work had been for nothing. Consider how Johnny felt when his "date" called him and cancelled their evening's plans by explaining that serviceman Harold was in town for a few hours and that she felt it her duty to go out with him. A little incident perhaps-but important in the teen-age world. Imagine the consternation of a mother who the other day found that her daughter Betty was not dating Richard any more because he was a 4-F. Further investigation on the mother's part revealed that the girl's friends at the office had decided that all the desirable fellows had been taken b y

the services and no one could afford to be interested in the "leftovers." Fortunately, Betty's mother took time to help the girl straighten out her thinking on the subject. There are, however, too many Bettys without thoughtful mothers to guide their thinking. Teen-age youth are romantic and idealistic-especially as regards service to their country. It hurts to see others of their own ages in uniform, gaining special honors, distinction, privileges (and rightly so!) , as well as having the opportunity for travel, adventure--and perhaps danger. The boys left at home feel as though they have been cheated or discriminated against. Their reactions to the situation may take several turns-usually not for the good. Like Robert, the rejectee may go through a period of mental depression. Some may contemplate suicide (there have been such cases) . Others are taken ill and find refuge in the sickbed. For the most part they want to be alone, away from their fellows . Many youngsters cover up their real feelings with a veneer of sarcasm. They become supercritical, poking fun at boys their age in uniform, especially newly created lieutenants and ensigns. They see military service as a "racket," are loud in their pseudosophistication. Some develop a "zoot suit" mentality, and the teen-age version of "wine, women, and song" is in evidence. Others say, "So what! I'm going. to get mine while getting is good." They proceed to exploit the manpower shortage. They loaf on the job, if they think they can "get by" with it, then gloat over their exploits before "the suckers" who follow the rules. The high wages they get may be spent wisely; more often not. It is easy to rationalize about the problem of the teen-age rejectees, easy to make jokes about them, easy to point out that their behavior is a groping of their injured egos for balm. But learned talk about "inferiority complexes" and "defense reactions" do not ease the poignancy of the personal .

The Triad, March, 1944 42 tragedy faced by a Robert, an Ed, a Bill or an Earl. Nor does it do anyt.run'g about the fact that long after peace has come, unsocial attitudes developed now in these impressionabl.e youths can still distort their ~erson~liÂ ties and vex society. Juvemle delinquents today may become Capones and Dillingers tomorrow. Understanding adults can do much to help teen-age rejectees to recapture that suddenly lost feeling of personal significance. But employers, teachers, clergymen, and friends can only go so far. The problem is primarily one to be solved in the home by parents. Here are a few suggestions: First, prepare the boy-if there is possibility of rejection-for just such a situation. It may lessen the shock. Second, plan to help him over the mental-depression period following rejection. This calls for tact and intimate knowledge of the boy involved. Point out to him that, after .all, there are still some things in life worth living for. Third, plan a program of physical rehabilitation, if such can be carried out. This may be the opportunity to make the boy aware of his defects and how to live with them-perhaps remedy them to some extent. Fourth, plan a program of mental rehabilitation. Work is, of course, the greatest remedy. A defense job may do the trick. A work-savings program for future education is excellent. A job in a community away from immediate acquaintances often helps. Emphasize the fact that this is the time to prepare for the period of keen competition in the professional and business world following the war, when a great number of experienced, trained men of his own age will be entering the field. Fifth, build up the rejected boy's sense of home security. Always give him the feeling that at home he has confidants to whom he can talk out his problems. He has been frustrated in something that touches the quick of his romantic, reaching-out self. If he does not have someone to whom he can unburden his soul, he may grow stiff or moody with repressed pressures. Sixth, try to give back to him the sense of personal importance he has lost. A wholesome home life helps. Encourage him in a program of group participation-where he feels he has a part to play. There is a great need of leaders for younger boys. If the rejectee can supply that leadership, it will stir within him a sense of responsibility, which is precisely what he craves most, though he may not know it.

Seventh, and finally, pass along the word that it helps no one to be asking healthy -appearing youngsters, "Why aren't you in the service?" Just let it be assumed that your boy ilnd your neighbor's boy have been properly classified by Selective Service authorities. Questions on their service status-even though they be friendly and well-intentioned- seldom help anyone. The United States Army has a lapel emblem for men honorably discharged. Perhaps such a device, issued by Selective Service authorities, would help solve the problem for the rejectee. But nothing will take the place of plain, unadulterated, old-fashioned, human understanding and common sense.

Evening A gentle mist is spreading in a haze Enveloping the Sun's last dying rays; And as it slowly to the westward slips, It clasps the hills with golden finger-tips. So shy, the maiden Moon ascends her path And laves the soiled earth with silver bath; Now having drenched the hills with purest white, She leaves the world to softly sighing night. -SCUDDER GEORGIA.

Gettysburg Address On March 24 the school children of Illinois presented the state historical library with Lincoln's pen copy of his Gettysburg address. Bound with it was Edward Everett's copy of the oration Everett delivered that day, and a letter from Robert T. Lincoln, the President's son, attesting to the genuineness of his father's manuscript. Thomas F. Madigan, New York autograph expert, called the manuscript "one of the most important American historical manuscripts in existence." The copy was bought through the contributions of Illinois school children and last sold for $150,000.

What About Education? "A share of stock with a par value of $50 pays a 4 per cent dividend annually. If you bought ten shares of the stock at $40, what rate of income would you receive on your investment?" If you were to ask the average high school student that question, the chances are 25 to 1 you would get a wrong answer. In fact, 2,281 pupils, in a recent test, managed to give 95 different wrong answers. Only 4 out of every 100 knew the correct answer. This was considered the most difficult of the 55 questions in the test. Nearly half the pupils did not know that 86.4 is ten times 8.64. One out of ten did not even know how many weeks there are in a year. About 18 per cent, or nearly one out of five, could not express % as a percentage. The tests covered pupils in five New York City high schools, five upstate New York high school, one high school in Pennsylvania, and one in Kansas. There's little reason to beli~ve that better results would be obtained elsewhere. Last April, the New York Times published the results of its survey of American history knowledge among some 7,000 students in 36 colleges. Some 20 per cent of the students were found to have not the faintest idea what the country looks like; 30 per cent did not know that Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States during the last World War; 84 per cent, or six out of seven, were unfamiliar with the contributions of Jefferson; 88 per cent could not tell what Andrew Jackson . had done. The Harvard Crimson, a student newspaper, attacked the survey as "one of the biggest hoaxes in American history." Three Harvard professors said that the survey and its results were ridiculous. But educators, the country over, said they were not surprised. . A few days ago, an editorial writer gloated over what he called "the conquest of high school education" by the whole American people, and over the fact that with three times the population of Great Britain we have fifteen times the number of children in high school. Which may mean just exactly nothing as a measure of educational progress. Such a "conquest" may well be achieved by dragging down the standard of high school education to the level of the mass rather than by raising the mass to the level of high school education. There is reason to believe that the high school graduate of today does not

The Triad, March, 1944 get anywhere near the education of his predecessor of 30 or 40 years ago. Indeed, there is some ground for suspicion that many of today's college graduates are little better educated than the high school graduates of that day. That, of course, applies to the academic courses rather than to the professional schools, although it is possible that inadequate high school preparation is a substantial handicap to professional education. Merely keeping more boys and girls in school longer does not mean that they will be better educated. Wilson L. Fairbanks, one of the editors of the New York Times, said a few months ago: "I am greatly concerned over the widespread manifestations of the spirit of unthoroughness, the sheer inability or unwillingness to go to the very root of things. Softness, of which Americans are often accused, is not a harsh enough term to describe this. We need that blunt and uncompromising Anglo-Saxon word-sloppiness." Willard Waller, professor of sociology at Columbia University, in making public a study of educational institutions in wartime, observed that "the situation is becoming worse, and a generation of poor education is ahead." Retraining of demobilized soldiers and war work~rs, and the expansion of vocational training are recognized by many business men as their own responsibilities. But they are becoming concerned over the more fundamental parts of education-the elementary schools, high school and college training-which pre-form the human material that comes to them: the young folks they have to work with, to train in special skills, and to whom they ultimately will intrust their businesses, factories and laboratories. During the past 20 years or more, educational facilities have increased prodigiously. In the large cities, per capita expenditures for libraries have increased 300 per cent; daily expenditures for each student attending school have risen 250 per cent. But suppose we get through this war and open the door of opportunity more widely to the so-called common man. Can we hope that the next generation -unversed in our history, inept in its arithmetic, able to read but not to reason-will do much better than those who have gone before? We have been told that the hope of democracy lies in an educated people. On the record, just how bright is that hope? And what are we doing about it? -Business Week.

Home Economics By LUCIUS BEEBE

From Snoot, If You Must, published by D. Appleton-Century Company

a chronicle of household economy which is certain to be of assistance to all bachelors and hotel dwellers, and which concerns itself with the time I became savagely determined to have asparagus in January and not pay Colony prices for it either. Disaster in the match game at the hands of Stanley Walker and other dinner- jacketed bandits at Bleeck's had reduced my resources to approximately those of Mike Romanoff in the era when he used to sleep in Dan Moriarty's coal bin. Across from my hotel, in the window of the Madison Grocery, was a jar of asparagus stalks, a good triple portion of those rather thinnish, darkgreen sprouts, the kind that gave promise of actually tasting like asparagus, and the price was eighty-five cents. This was something less than thirty cents an order, I figured cannily, and I'll bet my hotel gets $2.50 for a stingy half-dozen stalks at this time of year. I would show them. So I purchased the asparagus. The circumstance that I had never coped with any aspect of kitchen life more complex than the compounding of a Martini and that my apartment had no resources for cooking didn't in any way abate my enthusiasm for high living at low cost. The management would feel pretty sick, I argued, if it knew that I was saving approximately $6.65 by eating a triple order of asparagus f01: practically free. The only apparent way to heat the stuff, in the absence of a kitchenette and cooking equipment, was to put it into a bathtub filled with scalding water and leave the tap running gently to keep the heat constant. So I ordered the house dinner, price $2.00, and sat down to my crabmeat followed by genuine pre-rubber-rationing chicken, feeling myself a veritable Hetty Green of the stewpots. The time came when I was to put one over on the management through the agency of my forethought and careful buying, and I went to the bathroom to retrieve my asparagus. It was apparent at once that the room had been converted into a sort of steam bath.

HIS IS

The atmosphere had seeped through into the adjacent dressing-room and been eagerly absorbed by a dozen starched evening shirts on the shelf, and, as I entered, a yard-square piece of ceiling disengaged itself from the architectural economy of the building and struck me briskly on the head These contretemps, however, I viewed as strictly incidental to the main project at hand of saving money on my restaurant bill. I contrived to scald myself severely up to the elbow reaching for the jar at the bottom of the bathtub. The water looked so clear from standing that I momentarily forgot it was straight from the boiler and achieved a good second-degree burn which kept me in pain for two full days and eventually ended by peeling all the skin from my forearm. When the water was at long last drained off and the asparagus emerged like something at a gastronoinic Scapa Flow, it was discovered that nowhere in my non-housekeeping apartment was there any sort of gadget with which to pry the top from a Mason jar, and it was necessary to tip the hallboy two bits to bring me one from the bar. I attacked the jar vigorously, only slightly impeded by an arm swathed in amateur bandages and antiburn grease. There was a hideous cracking sound. Asparagus, scalding vegetable juice, and fragments of glass exploded across the landscape, smearing a pile of fresh linen with green sediment, while the miniature grappling iron which is required to disembowel tins and pots carved a neat and surgically artistic furrow across my left wrist. Since Gettysburg there hasn't been so much blood. I reached for the telephone to summon the house doctor to sew me up, dripping gore on bedspread, brocaded chairs, and carpet. The room was a shambles. So was I.

75 Years in Pi Kappa Alpha National recognition of seventy-five years of membership in Pi Kappa Alpha will be given in mid-March to Dr. George Summey of New Orleans, pastor-emeritus of the Third Presbyterian Church, New Orleans, and professor emeritus of Austin Seminary, Austin, Texas, at a two-day fete in which other national college fraternities will participate. Dr. Summey, initiated March 17, 1869, at Davidson College in North Carolina, will be 91 years old this June 3. This genial, snow-haired clergyman and educator has never lost active interest in his fraternity. Seventy-five year fraternity men are relatively few, with twelve out of twenty fraternities answering a questionnaire reporting none. They were Alpha Sigma Phi, Theta Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon, Kappa Alpha Order, Alpha Tau Omega, Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Delta Phi, Kappa Alpha Society, Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi, Theta Chi and Phi Kappa Sigma. Beta Theta Pi reported five members of that fraternity in the seventy-fiveyear class, Chi Psi and Theta Delta Chi reported two each, Sigma Chi and Delta Tau Delta one each, and Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta and Delta Phi, one or more but uncertain about the number.

Women of Acacia By MRS. EVERETT E. ENOS Syracuse . (The women of Acacia-mothers, wives, and sweethearts of the men and boys of our cha~ters-have long been a determining and vital factor in the frlllternity. It has been satd t~at the strength of our country's pioneers lay with its women, and this could be satd of many of t~e chapters of Acacia to vcuryi.ng degrees. (~rs. Florence ~nos, prestdent of the Women of Acacia club of the Syracuse Chapter, _ts the energettc and capable wife of Everett E. ("Bones" ) Enos, long the chapter's advtSor. Together they have worked with the chaqJter through many crises and to them the fraternity owes real homage. ' (W:e here present Mrs. Enos' story of the " Women of Acacia" at Syracuse . To them Acacta proffers fraternal orchids for their genuine contributions and cooperation.-En.)

We were seven years old on December 16, 1943. Who are we? Oh! Excuse me. I neglected to mention that I am speaking of our sturdy group of wives and mothers of Acacians here in Syract,~se, New York. We call ourselves the "Women of Aca · cia." Our husbands and sons are from various chapters including Syracuse and Cornell. 'Way back at the time 9f an Acacia Conclave at Cornell University, several couples from Syracuse attended some of the meetings and functions. In 1935 my husband and I attended the Conclave in Chicago, and, with true after-convention enthusiasm, came back firmly convinced that the congenial, energetic group of women who always supported so enthusiastically the projects-both "social" and "menial"-of these splendid men , should have some definite tie with the organization and with each other, than just being the "other halves" who were called upon for no end of interesting and pleasant, difficult and dull tasks for "dQar old Acacia." So, at the request of the Alumni group, we gathered on December 16, 1936, at the home of a loyal Acacian for a supper meeting. After some discussion, it was decided to organize formally. A temporary chairman was chosen, and at the next meeting officers were elected and a constitution was adopted. The name "Women of Acacia" was selected. Since then the group has met regularly and aided the active and alumni chapters in a social way and any other ways possible. During the post-depression period when there were financial worries and the chapter was temporarily inactive and the house rented, we opened our homes to the men and boys, and the rushing was done in our living rooms,

and, I might add, dining rooms, for many of us can still recall the mounds of sandwiches and cookies and the rivers of cocoa and coffee we prepared on Sunday afternoons for weeks to aid in rushing and to help produ~e a new chapter. Pledging and initiation took place under similar conditions. The following September saw swarms of men, boys and women busily engaged in renovating the house at • 102 Walnut Place for occupancy. It worked! We all felt it. From then on-by dint of hard work · on the part of many -this new chapter grew and held its own, becoming an honor to Acacia and to the Syracuse campus. Many fine boys have become members. And now, in wartime, the "Women of Acacia" still functions. The group is supported by the small annual dues of the members and a few moneyraising projects from time to time. We've held bridge partTes, we've sold dozens of dishcloths and refrigerator bags, and reams of personal stationery and personal labels. With the proceeds we've bought new Acacia dishes, pairs of window curtains, over-drapes and window shades, sofa pillows, shower curtains, tablecloths and silence cloths for the tables, and innumerable other things from floor lamps to dish towels. During the holiday season we cooperate with the alumni and active chapters in a Christmas party. This year, since there were only six boys in college and the house is rented to the university and occupied by coeds, we entertained the boys at supper at the home of one of our members and enjoyed a fine meal and a pleasant evening. Our officers at this time are: President, Mrs. Everett E. Enos (Florence) ;

Vice-President, Mrs. Calvin R. King (Grace); Secretary, Mrs. Frank A. Rupp, Sr. (Sylvia); Treasurer, Mrs. Walter B . Weyant (Georgia); Directors, Mrs. Royal A. Porter (Eleanor), Mrs. Walter 0 . Schiess (Elsie), Mrs . Clarence A. Willey (Jennie). We are very happy in our contacts and very proud of our boys, and hope we are making a contribution to Acacia. We are all counting the days until this war is over and the Halls of Acacia once again resound with the Drink Song, the gaiety of an Acacia Dance, a Colgate Kumback Party, or the afterSyracuse-Cornell-game buffet supper; when the husbands and sons return and we fulfill again our aim to be of service to the organization to which they pledge allegiance. It is only when our thoughts turn to the Art Gutmans, the Gil Pierces, and the Dick Bartletts, that we pause, a lump comes into our throats and we join with renewed vigor to help where we can and to wish Godspeed to Acacians one and all. We will be keeping the faith until our boys come back to school. "Getting together is Beginning, Working together is Progress, Keeping together is Success."

Back to His Job HREE years ago, in the summer of 1940, the big problem that confronted the United States was to mobilize, equip, and train an army and navy of some 11,000,000 men. Now government officials are beginning to wrestle with the converse of that problem-demobilization and re-employment of men the armed forces no longer need. The job of feeding discharged soldiers back into the civilian economy won't reach its full size until we b egin paring down the net strength of the Army and Navy. As things look, that won't be until the end of the European war at the earliest, possibly not until the final victory over Japan is clinched. But in the meantime, demobilization is by no means an academic issue. Disability discharges from the Army and Navy are now running about 7,000 a week. By the end of 1943, they probably will hit an annual rate of 800,000. For the year 1944, discharges will total around 1,000,000. An increasing proportion of the men who leave the Army with a Certificate of Disability Discharge are suffering from combat injuries, but the majority of the CDD's never got a chance to see the enemy. Sickness, accidents,

Amplifications and Ad Lib So Saith .the Bible Two captains and a major in the air forces had been overseas some 18 months, and all three were married, but not one had been married even half a year before leaving his wife. One had a daughter he had never seen. These three all attached to a Marauder (medium b~mber) outfit in Sardinia, considered that the time had come for at least a short home leave, so they went before the high authorities and stated their case. But the higher authorities merely advised them to go see their chaplain, a semi-subtle system of saying "no soap." The chaplain, somewhat weary of having soldiers sent to him for solace, decided to do something about the officers' cases. It seemed to hi~ that he remembered something in the Bible which touched on such matters. Eventually he came upon it, so now the higher authorities have been presented with applications, each citing as authority the 24th chapter and 5th verse of Deuteronomy, which reads: "When a man hath taken a new wife he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business; but he shall be free at home one year and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken."

Eggs ... Eggs ... Eggs! You may have noticed the number of egg dishes on your restaurant menus lately, and as is always the case, there's a reason. It seems that tlie little red hen has been working overtime lately for the war effort in her shell-loading activities, and the market has been flooded with eggs. Since storage space is at a premium in these times, the government has asked restaurateurs to feature egg dishes to the liniit. 'In helping to move. this surplus production of the nalion's 500 million biddies, the W.F.A. has also come out with some neat little slogans to feature on menus-if you'd want to run the risk. They are called "Eggstra Slogans-Something to Crow About." They give, for "eggsample," such "eggciting'! thoughts as "All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't keep up with the little red hen." The egg is bantered about in so many thoughts of neat phrasing that one is

fairly sick at the thought of an omelet, and they wind up the "eggsplanation" that "It's up to you! Which goes first? The hen--or the egg?" As far as we're concerned, the answer is obvious. After wobbling through the W.F.A. bulletin, we had such a trend of thought · on eggs that it couldn't be abandoned, and in view of the Easter season we looked up the subject. We discovered that U. S. presidents didn't start the idea of egg rolling on the White House lawn-it came from Europe. This egg-rolling festivity at the White House has been abandoned for the duration, but we might suggest that even if it seems a little frivolous, it may be a good idea to give a little consideration to civilian morale and allow the custom to flourish again for this season. It would help take care of some of the surplus rolling-stock. In any event, we consider. it apropos of the season that there are so many eggs this Easter. If you can't take part in an egg-rolling contest in your neighborhood this year, perhaps it would be best if you did your bit by downing another egg, at that.

By Any Other Name It was somewhere in the Bronx. One of our American cousins who learned the Greek alphabet in the old country, and not for the purpose of -designating the names of fraternities, had operated a little neighborhood shop for many

•

years and his main item of trade was ice cream made from his own recipe. A food inspector finally got around to sampling it and immediately told him it was adulterated and that he would have to improve the quality considerably. As it was, he was just eking out a living, and if he raised the cost he would be out of business, and he told the inspector his plight. Well, the inspector told him, you'll either have to improve the quality or inf~rm the public that your ice cream is adulterated, and you wouldn't want to do that! Our fellow thought it over for several days: If he paid out more money

• • •

to make his ice cream, he'd go broke, yet if he didn't he'd have to tell people it was no good-it was adulterated. In the end, he decided to advertise the fact, rather than increase the cost. Several days later a large sign appeared in his window: OUR ICE CREAM IS lllGHLY ADULTERATED BUT YOU CAN STILL GET IT AT THE SAME PRICE. It sold better than ever.

Army Efficiency The line of march had brought the troops to a river which had to be bridged. The commanding officer asked the engineer how long it would take. "We can do it in three days, sir," was the reply. "All right. Have the plans drawn up at once," were the instructions. At the end of the three days the officer inquired about the progress in construction. "The bridge is completed, sir," the engineer replied, "and you can march over it as soon as you wish-unless 'you have to wait for pictures of the plans. They aren't finished yet."

.British Medal Awards Contrast Sharply With U. S. Policy American fighting men have been awarded decorations in staggering numbers as compared with British forces. Figures indicate that the American army alone has distributed more than three times as many decorations as the king has awarded since the beginning of the war to all services. The American army has distributed 126525 decorations since December 7, 1941, as against 17,421 awarded by the British from September 3, 1939, to the end of 1943. While the American navy has awarded 7,073 since America entered the war, the total handed out to the personnel of the British navy up· to February 15, 1944, amounted to 8,963, of whom 3,471 are officers. The R.A.F. awards totaled 13,717. These figures included all awards, Victoria crosses being sparingly given out, as only 17 were awarded to the R.A.F., 46 to the army, 12 to naval

The Triad, March, 1944 officers, and 4 to naval ratings. The George cross is almost as rare, the awards being R.A.F., 19; military, 21; naval offic;ers, 12, and ratings, 5. The most common R.A.F. medal is the distinguished flying medal, of which 5,925 were distributed. The next is the distinguished flying medal, of which there are 3,743. The military medal is most common in the army, of which 5,743 were awarded, and next is the military cross, of which there are 3,194. The distinguished service cross is most numerous among naval officers, 1,266 awards of this nature being made, while its companion, the distinguished service order, comes next with 654. There are 4,185 distinguished service medals among the ratings and 1,119 British expeditionary medals. It may be impossible to determine the relative merits of the British and American decorations, but it is quite evident that the king is not as lavish as the American forces.

Neon Problems The shortages of materials and the necessary priorities have caused some unusual circumstances, especially in the lettering of neon signs, one of the

most notable of which came to our attention as we were buffeted down Randolph Street the other evening. The large sign of the Sherman Hotel was blazing brightly as usual, but the "R " was a black void, which must have been quite a problem for the management, if not an embarrassment. We noticed it took them several days to get it fixed, but they're back to normal now.

D. A. R. That we are still a very young nation was ifl!pressed on us recently when we ran across an item buried among the debris of news we read every day. The heading read Last Real D. A. R. Dies. On the face of it, it is- almost incomprehensible, but on thinking it over it is surprising how short a period has elapsed in the history of the world since the American Revolution. Mrs. Annie Knight Gregory was born March 23, 1843, in Liberty, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Richard Knight, a soldier who made a brilliant career for himself, enter-

47 ing service at the age of nine in the Revolutionary War as a dr ummer boy. He later fought in the War of 1812. Mrs. Gregory, who led an act ive civic life, celebrated her 100th birthday, and died last December 23 at the home of her son in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

As You Like It Among the current theatre attractions, Oklahoma seems to be getting top billing and public acclaim. Many business houses and advertisers have been promoting it in one way or another by awarding tickets to the play for the best contest answer, suggestion, etc., which we think is a good indication of its premium value. On this basis, the zany radio program, NBC's :'Truth or Consequences," recently asked two of their contest winners if they would like tickets to Oklahoma. All eagerness, they said yes. The outcome of it all was that they ended up in Tulsa.

A Candid Reflection Hitler's Nephew Enters U.S. Navy Some of us will be surprised to learn that the nephew of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler has been inducted into the United States Navy and will ' soon go on active service to fight against his uncle's Nazi for ces. William Patrick Hitler, 32, passed his physical examination at the New York induction' center early in February and was inducted immediately for naval service. Hitler's father, Alois Hitler, was a half-brother of Adolf, and William is a native of Germany. His mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Dowling Hitler, and his father separated when their son was Âˇtwo years of age, and William is a British subject, having been brought up in England.

Sign of the Times While steering our precarious way down a long cafeteria line the other day, we overheard one of those conversations which is like a bit of candlelight on the current scene. Food rationing and the help problem, plus increased patronage, have created no small headache for restaurants these days, and the cashier was telling the fellow ahead of us that he would have to put that seeond pat of butter back. "Why," she said, punching the ticket

A sobering thought came to us the other day when we heard, for a change. a surprisingly good story at the beginning of an after-dinner speech. In these days of specialization and emphasis on the improvement of everything, it is easy for us to rely too heavily on the authoritative advice and instructions of so-called specialists in our fields, forgetting that we too might have something to say about it. One of these specialists, a farm agent, approached a farmer one day and said to him: ."I have come to show you how to farm better than you have ever farmed before." The farmer, after a moment's reflection, summed the

whole thing up in a nut-shell when he replied, "Shucks, I don't need you. I ain't farmin' now half as well as Âˇ I know how."

Killed in Plane Crash

Ruppenthal Wins Citation Award Missing in Action A letter has been received from the wife of Gilford Edwin Pierce, Syracuse '40, stating that Gilford has been reported as missing in action over Bordeaux, France. He was the pilot on the fortress "Vermont Lady" which was seen to go down in flames on January 5 this year. He was a member of the Eighth A.A.F. Bomber Command Station, England. The following is an extraction from the Newport Express published before he was reported as missing "Members of the crew of the Eighth A.A.F. Flying Fortress 'Vermont Lady' are beginning to wonder if German air defense gunners have a grudge against the Green Mountain State (Vermont) . For the fourth time in nine bombing attacks against Nazi targets, the 'Vermont Lady' has returned to her base with flak souvenirs from the Heinies.

He Didn't Need a Job Wallace E. Pratt, Kansas '08, has long been associated with the oil industry, and has written a book which is widely quoted. It is titled Oil in the Earth and is compiled from lectures he gave while at the University of Kansas. Frequent calls come to the University of Kansas Press for rights to publish excerpts from the book or to quote it. . Not long ago, someone in Detroit, having seen an excerpt from the book which pleased him, apparently got only the hazy idea that Wallace E. Pratt had written it and that Pratt was in some way connected with the University of Kansas. Accordingly, he called the university where some employee told him she was sorry, but that the university had no student enrolled by the name of Wallace Pratt. Finally the Detroit man found that Mr. Pratt is an alumnus of the university and is connected with the Standard Oil Company in New York .. Immediately he got Mr. Pratt on th~ phone, and without waiting for further information on him, offered him a job writing publicity for the National Institute of Oil Burners. He was informed tQat Mr. Pratt wasn't in need of a job right now other than the one he held-you see, he is vice president of Standard Oil. Incidentally, Brother Pratt had a splendid article under the title "Oil in the Arctic" in the January Harpers Magazine.

Ralph G. Unger, Syracuse '27, has been promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in China, where he is training Chinese troops and officers. He is a graduate of the College of Forestry at Syracuse and was commissioned a second lieutenant at the time of his graduation. Col. Unger served from May, 1941, to November, 1942, at Fort Benning, Georgia. He arrived in India in January, 1943, and was transferred to China in June. He has studied the Chinese language and can speak and understand it sufficiently to meet the requirements of his duties. Mrs. Unger lives with their daughter in Chatham, New York.

Lt. John F. Kotick, Wisconsin '39, was married to Dorothy Dicie Madison of Phoenix, Arizona, on Tuesday, February 29. Strictly speaking, they will have a wedding anniversary only every four years. Anyway, John should not have as much difficulty (as is the case with most husbands) in remembering the date of his wedding.

Killed in Air Raid

When Donald B . Lowery, Missouri '40, enlisted in the Marine Corps, June 16, 1941, his mother, Mrs. Vesta Lowery, gave him a ring for luck as he left to go aboard the battleship Oklahoma. The ship went to the bottom at Pearl Harbor. When it was raised from the bottom of the bay recently, Sergeant Lowery descended into the hold with a flashlight and fished out his locker from the quarters once occupied by the marines. He is now wearing the ring again, and promises his mother it will become a family heirloom.

Interest in Extracurricular Activities Low Student interest in extracurricular activities has hit a pew low on the University of Minnesota campus according to a poll conducted by Louise Miller and reported in the Daily by Lorayne Cooney, AOII. A thousand ballots were placed in student boxes at random; 101 were returned. Of the 101, 75 "never" or "seldom" attended organization meetings or omitted answering the question. Almost half the voters reported that they came to college ."to secure a more professional status"; 36 entered to gain "a broader understanding." Âˇ Others attended "to be able to make more money," while still others came "for the prestige of a college degree." The fifth reason was "parents wanted me to" and the last reason in order of prevalence was "to find a husband or wife." Seventy-nine of the students were able to copy the Council president's name from the ballot head; the rest answered "they didn't know" or skipped the question. -The Fraternity Month.

The female Arabs aren't too attractive-many cigarettes, a broad mind and a spirit of

Supplied with these "luxuries" from America, words are not needed, and one is greeted with smiles and laughs. There are lots of interesting things to see here and many unusual characters. There is the old Arab water carrier, the Arab street sweeper, the merchants at an auction, and many others. The water carrier goes around with a skin of a wild boar around his neck. This is inflated with water, a spout is attached to the neck, and he carries some bells and tin cups with him. Then he walks about ringing his bells and hollering something guttural like "Praise Allah, I gotta sell this water." The Arab street sweeper is usually a dirty, decrepit-looking character carrying a broom made from some twigs bound together with a piece of rope. The job is supposedly a good one because the street sweeper gets all the American cigarette butts he finds. An Arab auction or "souk" is very interesting to watch. T.b.~r argue and bicker among themselves ov..er0 the prices of rugs and copperware and anything else they may be selling. This is an ideal time and place to take snapshots as veiled women are pr esent galore and countless Arabs in their bright-colored cloaks. Over the entire scene is a busy atmosphere like a tobacco auction. The bidding, of course, is in guttural Arabic, difficult to understand. We've been in North Africa close to five months. After the novelty of a foreign country has worn off, things get quite monotonous. It is quite a peaceful place now-one would never believe that a war had been through here. Our chow is good considering all difficulties, but we're a bit tired of eating out of tin mess kits, and several ounces of sand are included in our daily diets. The flies and mosquitoes are very persistent parasites and we have to sleep under mosquito netting at all times to protect ourselves from the maneating beasts. We also take little yellow pills, called atebrin, to ward off the dread malaria. I went to a French dance the other night and had an interesting time plus free wine and eats. They had a record player and the "latest" American dance records such as "Scatterbrain," "Is It True What They Say About Dixie? " and "Melancholy Baby." Well, all in all, I'm having .some interesting experiences, but I sure miss Âˇ the good old U. S. A., those college days and the old frat house. Here's hoping those days will soon be back again. Fraternally, NED.

I wish that more of the boys would write the TRIAD so that we could have a more accurate record of their activities. I imagine that most of them have done as I and have just never gotten around to doing it before. Texas is an odd state. Politics, industry and culture are all much different from that of New York. To compensate, however, they have some beautiful weather and some bea utiful women! I was fortunate to meet a very lovely and vivacious southern belle in Ft. Worth and haven't been quite the same since. We don't have much free time in this outfit, but I am planning on spending a lot of mine in Ft. Worth. So long for now, sincerely and fraternally, DICK.

Seeing that copy of the TRIAD certainly

did bring back a lot of memories, and it also helped me to get an idea of just what other Acacians are doing in this war. I'm greatly pleased with the magazine and would like to know how I can receive more of them, how much it costs, etc. I'm also sending my address for your service list. I guess that you'd like to know a little about where I've been and what I've done. I entered the Army on June 4, 1942, at Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, which is just a few miles south of Cincinnati, Ohio. From there I went to a camp in Missouri for my basic, and from there to Chicago, Illinois, where I was enrolled in a radio mechanic's course at Coyne Electric Co. While located in Chicago, I met one of the Windy City's beauties who proceeded to hook me. As a result, we're engaged. While there I dropped out to Northwestern to see how some of the other Acacians live, and they surely do have a fine place. Several of the boys (whose names I can't remember) showed me around the house. I would have liked to have seen Jack Erwin as we boys from Cincy are quite well acquainted with him. From Chicago I was sent to Orlando, Florida, where I practiced occupations other than the one for which I was trained. After spending several months in the sunny south, I came overseas to North Africa a month and a half after the invasion. Now I'm located in sunny (?) Italy, and it looks like I'll be here for quite a while. Italy is quite a place, although i t looks a little beat up now. The people over here don't seem to be as interested in taking all of your money from you as in North Africa. Here one can buy fresh apples and nuts. You've heard about fellows living on mountain sides and in caves, but I don't think that you've had anyone tell of living in a barn, a real barn. I'm quartered in a barn which up until quite recently housed a herd of water buffalo and oxen. The aroma is still quite evident especially after having been out in the fresh air. I forgot to say earlier in this letter that while in North Africa I received my training as a cryptographer and still am one. Well, I hope that all is O.K. with all the fellows wherever they may be, and I hope that this time next year the end of this war will be more in sight if not actually here. Fraternally yours, DICK.

Dear. Brothers : Syracuse University and I are about to come to parting of the ways, but how soon nobody knows but Washington. We're being moved out in small groups, attached to headquarters groups as interpreters, etc. I expect an A .P .O. number but quick. . . .

Fraternally, BoB. P vt. Robert L . Burns K ansas '38 Dear Br others: Since I last addressed you man y unforeseen things have transpired. Not the least of these is my being informed by Headquarters that Jean and I will be back in the States not later than this next Christmas. Jean will probably return before I do. It is, of course, to be desired that we return together, but we both realize that we can't have our cake and eat it too. Nevertheless, we are endeavoring to change current plans made for us and return together. The outcome is doubtful, but nothing ventured nothing gained. The boost in morale given by the newly established replacement policy is marked. On one hand it has led to a cer tain amount of relaxation upon those who qualify, and alleviates a tension built up by many months of combat. The talk of return has become the chief talk or conversation, and the anticipation is openly revealed. It came like a bolt out of the blue, and has of course by reason of this, packed a greater morale punch. On the other hand, those who do not qualify have a goal toward which they may work, other than the early end of the war. It has been a marked stimulus to all. The majority of those who are now serving in this area have gone through both the Papuan and New Guinea campaigns. Two campaigns in a row tax the endurance, both physical and neural, to the very breaking point. Due to this fact, many were evacuated due to psychoneurosis or reduced physical stamina. Those friends you would have sworn would be the last to break were many times the first to go, and, on the contrary, those who you thought would not last a month are still here. It is all a matter of personality complexes and temperament. Last October 14 we were subjected to a bombing and strafing attack where I was making an inspection. During the raid, as usual, my insatiable curiosity got the better of me and I protruded my head above the trench in order to see all the show. No sooner had I gotten my nose above ground than an anti-personnel bomb dropped close by. A piece of shrapnel whizzed by my nose cutting a deep gash, while another piece ploughed into the slit trench and lodged in the flesh of my leg. I went over to the first-aid post where a few iron particles were extracted and the wound dressed, and thought no more about it. Today I was awarded the Purple Heart. I was certainly surprised. In the last year I have been cited once, have received the Purple Heart, and have been awarded two bronze stars for my SWPA over~eas ribbon-{)ne star for the Papuan Campaign, and one for the present New Guinea Campaign.

The people are of a far more ge~ teel nature than elsewhere, . and therr attitude toward life and therr tho';lght trends more nearly parallel the Amenca~ than the British. In New South _Wales tt is exactly the opposite, and the difference is very marked. While in Melbourne we saw some very good legitimate shows and heard se~eral good symphony concerts.

Fifth Largest Library (Continued from page 47)

The four others are Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Chicago, ranking in the order named. The University of Illinois library contains 1,364,906 volumes, of which 58,455 volumes were added during the last academic year. During 1942-43, the university spent $164,362 for books, periodicals, binding and rebinding, and $137,000 is available for similar purposes this y ear. The repor t states that approximately one million calls for books are answered each year by the 148 members of the 'library staff.

Back to His Job (Con tinued from page 45)

and physical or mental b r eakdown during training account for the most of the releases. About 20 per cent are psychiatr ic cases , not unbalanced enough to require hospitalization but too unstable to suit the Army. A good many CDD's are healthier than the day they took the oath, even though they haven't tou ghened up as much as the· doctors at the induction station thought they w ould. One of the most ticklish problems Selective Service will have to handle ar ises from the soldier's legal right to his old job. Under the law, any honorably dischar ged veteran, man or woman, inducted; enlisted, or commission ed after May 1, 1940, is entitled to his or h er for mer job without any

loss of pay ratings or seniority. This applies not only to the armed forces but also to the merchant marine. There are only two strings attached: (1) The discharged soldier must be physically capable of doing the job. (2) The employer must be in a position that does not make re-employment entirely impractical. At first glance, this guarantee seems to leave plenty of loopholes, but in practice it is ir~n clad as far as it goes. In fact, Selective Service officials say that the more they study it the more they regard it as a classic example of airtight phrasing. When a man has no claim on a particular job , either because of an in, firmity or because of the employers circumstances, Selective Service counts on the U.S. Employment Service to find a place for him.

Christianity a Force (Con cluded from page 39)

have been saying, let us even for a moment celebrate the function of the church as a preserver of Christianity's forms . One of the most rememberable stories from the Civil War concerns the College of William and Mary in Virginia. For nearly seven years during the war that college closed its doors, all its students gone and its very buildings ruined by the ebb and flow of battle. But "every morning," we read, "during those seven barren years President Ewell rang the chapel bell. There were no students; the faculty had disappeared ; and rain seeped through the leaky roofs of the desolate buildings. But President Ewell still rang the bell." See! He was keeping up the form, as though to say, War or no war, the intellectual life will come back again and fill these empty halls with reality once more and be a vital and dynamic power. More than once in history the church has done that. All that the gospel stood for seemed lostmen deserted it and antagonistic forces ruled the world-but still the church kept ringing the bell. In our time it may be that we shall have to do that again. Such a barr en time, howev~r, is not inevitable, if now enough of us make our Christianity a force. Men and women who feel deeply the need of Christianity, who have discovered it as a resource of personal power in their own lives, who believe that its basic faiths are everlastingly true, and who bind themselves together in a fellowsh ip to make it actually work in this world-the times cry out for such.

Graduate at 18 (Concluded from page 40)

They find that the curriculum puts a premium on good teaching, which under this system is as hard as working in a ·coal mine. It isn't merely reading from lecture notes that the instructor made ten years ago and hasn't revised since ; it isn't mer ely correcting exams and awarding marks. It's trying to stimulate y~ung minds to think. Since attendance in the last two years is optional, the class will drift away if a teacher's lectures get dull. (This has actually happened.) Thus the plan quickly shows up a teacher's shortcomings. Some high schools dislike the plan because their students are taken away before graduation, and the high school's importance is therefore diminished. Opposition also comes from other quarters. The communists believe that President Hutchins is a fascist who is bent on educating young fascists. The old guard in the colleges see in him a dangerous innovator. Some educators believe the program is bad because it is hurried. But whether or not the world of education likes it, here is a revolution that is already being felt. "Change in education," says President Hutchins, "can be obtained only if some institution is prepared to pioneer and take the consequences." Chicago was the father of the junior-college movement, the first to adopt the quarter system, the first to provide educational opportunities for women equally at all levels with men. It is· now the first to take students from the second year of high school at 15 and graduate them at 18. Educators agree that a liberal education is important bec~use it is education for freedom in a free society. Today such an education must be obtained by your boy before he is drafted. This is made possible by the new program. But if it is possible to give children an education before they are 19 in wartime, why can't it also be done in time of peace? Before the war few young professional men could marry before 30. The average age of marriages in Who's Who is from 28 to 30 years. An educational system which forces the postponement of marriage until the age of 30 should be challenged. The vital point of the Chicago p r ogram is that is gives a youngster a liberal education at the age he can best receive it, and that it fits him to be an intelligent citizen.

<1Joings tn the Chapters California One of the five remammg fraternities still active, the California chapter of Acacia looks forward to brighter days. California Acacians feel that they have come far since last summer. A new feeling of optimism has recently been shown by the active chapter, and it is upon this crest that we will again flourish. This semester's pledge dance was held at the Claremont Hotel in the beautiful Berkeley hills overlooking the East Bay. Dancing to the exotic rhythm of Phil Bovero and his orchestra, the · pledges ruled the floor with their antics. Initiation held February 6 found five men becoming active members. They are Dennis F . Hallowell, junior, Clovis, California; George L. Robson, freshman, Martinez, California; Robert C. Peck, freshman, Sacramento, California; Edward D. Aiken, junior, Hueneme, California, and Clark L. Smith, junior, Mountain View, California. After having spent nine months in the Army Air Corps, Denny Hallowell, or the "Mole" as he is more familiarly known, returned to school and was promptly elected Venerable Dean. Ginger Aiken, the granddaddy of the house, was returned the victor in the race for House Manager. Old-timers Will McCutchan and Hughie Friend were elected as Junior Dean and Senior Dean respectively, while "Slats" Peck was inade Secretary. Acacia's glamour boy, George "the Beast" Robson, was railroaded to the position of TRIAD correspondent and will relieve your truly. This semester's intramural sports program has been only a fair success. With the aid of three ensigns rooming at the house, Acacia won five and lost three games in the touch football league. With a flashy ping pong team, we went into the finals with slightly swelled heads and promptly had them punctured. Ex V. D. Rusty Dugger was inducted into the Army December 7. We were sorry to lose Rusty because he had done much to hold the house together in the rough days of last fall. Also lost to the service were Stan Smith and Bob Anderson. Stan was inducted into the Army on January 29, and Bob reported to the Army Air Corps unit at Omaha, Nebraska. Craig Conway returned to the campus from Camp Roberts for six months more schooling. Craig is a very busy lad these days so we see very little of him. The social calendar for the coming semester promises to be full and will have a great deal of variety. Highlights will ~ the birthday banquet to be held around April 15, and the annual May picnic. All Acacians living in or near Berkeley are urged to get in touch with Bob Peck before the banquet. House activities are at "a standstill at the present time with finals staring all the fellows in the face next week. Only a few rugged characters dare to tempt fate by keeping up with their social life. We aope to lead the scholastic parade again this semester.

HIGHLIGHTS ON ACACIANS

George "Slip" Martin, '42, was by the house last week on his way to Denver, Colorado, to complete his army flight training. Slip wishes all his pals the best of everything from him. Ted "Slugger" Rowe, '43, is now an ensign stationed at Fort Pierce, Florida. Ted was married to Miss Doris Willet the day he received his conunission early this winter. John Bell, '43, became the proud father of a baby boy last November; the lad, John Richard Bell III, is a chip off the old block. Emory "Kilowatt" Thomas dropPed by during hell week to pay his compliments to the pledges. Emory was on his way to report at La Junta, Colorado, where he will finish up his training in the Army Air Corps in April. Word comes from Lt. Chuck Richardson, ex-'44, in the Army Air Corps in North Africa. He gives his regards to the boys and hopes he will be home soon. Staff Sgt. Golder DeWitt, ex-'45, of the Army Air Corps sends greetings from England. Goldie wants to know if the California women are still as beautiful as ever. I think he has a treat in store for him when he returns. Ensign Shelton Downey is now stationed at Treasure Island and is staying at the House while he awaits further orders. Capt. Bob Duttle gives a hey hey and a cheerio from India. Bob hopes he'll be home in time for the World Series; he swears the only reason the Cardinals lost last fall was because he wasn't in old St. Louis to root for them. GEORGE

Cincinnati Capt. Edwin Rice regrets the breaking up of his old unit after performing the mission to defend the Atlantic Seaboard for these many months. Most of the men have already gone overseas. Capt. Rice is now in Headquarters Battery, 50th C.A., Fort Devens, Massachusetts. Pvt. Gus Schmidt writes from Fort Knox, Kentucky, that every Cincinnati Acacian will be more active than ever after the war to make the Cincinnati Acacia Chapter a working unit. Commander Jack Greenwalt writes from his Scotland Seabee station that he wallowed through Marion Huber's seventeen-page Christmas letter, but that frankly he preferred Robert Benchley's "Treasurer's Report." He writes: "Benchley's approach is less scientific, but it has a certain 'je ne sais quoi' lacking in Marion's tone. Moreover, his dissertations are generally in print, whereas Marion's longhand, though undeniably good, leaves on the 170th or 180th ditto copy something to be desired." Jack's war record includes new twin girls. He feels, no doubt, that this takes a bit of intelligence and a bit of doing, not just low animal cunning. Jack states that Edinburgh is the prettiest large city, with Oxford second. Glasgow

is horrible with London closely following. Mr. and Mrs. John Jay Ritchie announce the marriage of their daughter, Verna, to Lt. Carl Bertsche, February 21, 1944, at the Westwood Presbyterian Chur ch. Cincinnati Acacians extend their sympathy to Nebraska Acacian Mr. Seth C. H . Taylor, formerly of Cincinnati and now living in Montreal, Canada, where he is general manager of insurance sales for the Sun Life Insurance Company. Mr. Taylor's son, 2nd Lieutenant Seth Hutton Taylor, was killed in a plane crash in California about a week ago. He was a pilot on a P -38 Lightning Fighter. AI Steinbach, whose address is Navy 803, c/ o Fleet Post Office, New York, N. Y ., writes that he saw Dr. Spencer Shanks of the University of Cincinnati faculty while in a restaurant in England. AI wants anyone to write who may know his genial nature. Only Rice keeps in contact. After much pushing' and panting, Broadston's old canoe was finally propelled into the Whitewater at Marion's farm where it now serves to free all Cincinnati Acacians of all their troubles while on furlough visiting E1 Solar. Edwin W oistmann returned from his boot training at Great I..akes. In spite of his color blindness and overbite, the Navy has decided it needs him as an ensign. Congratulations, Eddie. Jim Broadston and family write from 118 Ney Street, Playa Del Rey, California, in a family letter that excels anything Acacians have yet received. Jim is designing Mitchell (B-25) Bombers and Mustang (P-51 and A-36) Fighters of which you have read so much in communiques. He teaches, lectures on Aircraft Hydraulic Design, instructs in the University of California War Training Program. He also writes for national publications. Watch Flyin g Magazine the next few months. He is proud of his two children. Capt. Bob Reiman writes that only Harry Morlatt and Jinunie Giles of the South Pacific see or write to him. He spent his last leave in Auckland, New Zealand. . Sgt. Bob Warrington has been in the Army one and one-half years. He is in charge of photographing and communications at the Firing Range, Mathews, Virginia. Clem Zinck conunitted the unpardonable by writing Christmas greetings from Indianapolis and then not giving his address. Where . are you, Clem? Pvt. Leroy Gregory was home on a short furlough with his wife. He returned to Camp Sutton, North Carolina. He hopes to get into the Air Corps. Bob Borders surprised us all by his marriage announcement. Bob is now at the Radio Research Laboratory, Harvard University, Cambridge 38, Massachusetts. Congratulations, Bob. R. A. Van Wye is on indefinite leave from the University of Cincinnati to do special work for the Air Transport Command Ferrying Division at its School at Berry Field, Nashville, Tennessee. He lives at the Andrew Jackson Hotel. Bob Best is at St. Bonaventure College in A .S.T.P. training. He hopes to return

The addresses of the following Acacians are lost. Please write if you know them. Howard Yount, Paul Fegley, Ollie Robinson, AI Schlegel, James Gould, Lee Fitch, Maurice Goodwin, Harold Orville, and all others who did not answer Marion's Christmas letter. Now write, you droop, Fe g. Lt. Willard A. Sanger is in the Western Defense Command at San Diego, California. He is happy to have paid his last house note on time. Thanks, Bill. That's a record more will match soon. Christmas Greetings have shown that Acacia Chapters are still active elsewhere. Lt. Elmer R. Mook has recently been stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas. He hopes to see Cal Gibbons who is there also. Lt. (j.g.) George Cottrell sends greetings from Towson 4, Maryland. Cincinnati Acacians will soon give a reception for Acacia A .S.T.P. trainees now at the University of Cincinnati. We find th9-t there are about eight here now. George Patterson would like to hear from any others he has not contacted. Gordon Haag is at Wright Junior College, U.S.N.T.S. Pre Radio, 3400 N. Austin A venue, Chicago, lllinois. Pvt. Paul Hoppel writes from Gulfport Field, Mississippi. He has recently been in Air Corps training. Barton Bell is in the Flight Research Division, N.A.C.A . Aircraft Engine Research Laboratory, Cleveland Airport, Cleveland, Ohio. He has charge of the planning and analysis section of the Flight Division. Âˇ Lt. Don A. Schmalz! is at Jefferson Proving Grounds, Madison, Indiana. Don is a most handsome soldier. Bill Wilson is still with Mesta Machine Co. and is doing 100 per cent war work. His address is 205 Hoodridge Drive, Pittsburgh 16, Pennsylvania. Mel Wilson is still with Goodyear. He is now at Detroit as a consultant for the Armed Forces. Frank Le Poris is doing camouflage work at Wright Field as a real soldier. Ed Colaianni is training in advanced navigation Flight School, Selman Field, Louisiana. The Navy finally got Leroy Niemann. He is in the Service Schools, U.S.N.T.S., H 18-U, Sampson, New York. George McPeck has left the Cincinnati Ordnance District and gone to do special research work for the Army Ordnance "Rocket Division," Washington, D. C. We all know George has enough original ideas to end this war sooner than it otherwise would. This is encouraging to the boys abroad, George. Paul Azary was home on furlough in December. He has been a musician all his Army days. He sets the time, boys. Karl Klenk has returned to Cincinnati where he is in business as a partner with his brother.

As you can see there isn't much information here, but with cooperation we can get a more complete picture, so if you know what, or where, any one of our brothers is, please drop a card or letter to Bud Cushing, Forest Home, Ithaca, or to anyone else here. We will try to get another letter out before this term is up, so please send us details. The Scuttlebut has it that Bonser is a proud papa, that Thompson is a married man, and that Hawley is engaged. How about Fuller, Carros, Wells, Sidebotham, Kier, Lawrence, Goodhart, Scoville, Hoyt, Freeman, Horn, Batchelder, Otto? We would appreciate receiving information about any of those mentioned or about any whom we may have overlooked in our haste to send this letter. We also have some sad news. A brother of the class of '39, Raymond Lull, was shot down over Europe and reported dead by the Red Cross. There is no doubt that there are more casualties, and will be more, so if you know of any of these please send the word along and we will try to get the news to everyone. If anyone wants a brother's address, feel free to write us for it. I believe we can get the home address of everyone, and soon we might have a good number of actual addresses. "The House Committee" of the Acacia Fraternity is endeavoring to keep the home of Acacians at Cornell ready for conversion to student occupancy upon their return. We are, of course conserving our resources by renting the chapter house as best we can, and at the same time be ready for returning Acacians or prospective Acacia material. A word from W. W. Cotner: "Any returning Acacian should contact Walter W. Cotner (Pine Tree Road), G . F . Heuser (Forest Home, Ithaca), or any other local 'alum' on or before their return to school for they will be glad to welcome you on your return to Ithaca and Cornell. Needless to say, we miss you here and here's to a speedy return to 318 High~ land Road."

However, our fine corporation has seen fit to rent it to the boys from Thurston and Wyckoff.

It was held at the Acacia country home, "Inlet Valley Farms," the home of Brother Ed Millard. Liz Pearson's house was the real headquarters or meeting place, and the place where the girls stayed on Friday night. Those attending the party were V. D . Cushing, Senior Dean Pfc. Maker, J. D. Seaman Flickinger, Brother Millard, Pledge Cushing and two guests. We moved cots out to the counky home and literally moved in on THE MILLARDS. (The reason for the capital letters would be very apparent if you boys could have attended) . The party started for the civilians on Friday, February 4, and on Saturday for the boys in uniform. We all took in the Dartmouth basketball game in the afternoon, and the big green went home with the bag as usual. Note to Brotherhood: Your boys from New Hampshire really had to work for this game for it was no walkaway like last year's game. Back to the party and supper at the Victoria Hotel, and then the :Musicale in Bailey Hall before the dance. It was darn good and combined all the services and civilians on campus into a good show. The dance in Barton Hall featured Lionel Hampton and his orchestra in a night of jive. That boy sure has a hot band, and if you're not a hep cat never go where he is playing. (Personal experience.) The night ended (?) with a four o'clock breakfast at the country home with the MILLARDS' taking over "Sut's" job as cook and doing a neat job of chaperoning. This meal topped anything that has been served at Acacia. From then on I'm not sure what happened, but ' we could not see each other even though we were in the same room. Anyway, you know just as well as we do. Sunday we dined at the Smorgasbord and then dropped out to the house to take some pictures. As do all good things, the party came to an end at three o'clock Sunday afternoon. It was certainly a wonderful time for yours truly, for the one and only was here.

George Washington On January 6, 1944, this chapter added two new names to its roll when we initiated Gery Arkoian and Bill Lesniak. We were fortunate to have the assistance of Bob Grille, Clark Ashby and Harvey Seabrooke for different parts of this initiation. We certainly could use the help of these three men in the armed services who were in Washington for a few days. After finishing initiation we all went to the Interfraternity Prom which was given some two months earlier than usual in the Shoreham Hotel. Unlike last year, this dance was strictly formal. Socially, the chapter has not been able to do much as yet because we are still without rooms, but we hope to get some. Dick Warfield has left Washington to take some army courses in Maryland, but he expects to return. Will Hammer has been returned to civilian life and is working in Washington. The writer would like to urge all our members in the Service to ask us for any addresses of George Washington Acacians which they may want to know. We cannot, of course, know all addresses all the time, but it is quite likely that someone here will know the address you want. CHARLES J. H. DAUBANTON

Illinois Greetings! That is a familiar word to young men today, but it still conveys our feelings. The chapter house is still open and very much lived in. The kitchen is closed and Mrs. Bender is now working in Chicago, but upstairs the midnight oil is still left on while the boys (those over twenty-one) visit Bidwell's. We have members of a half dozen or so different fraternities living here. Outside of a few knife marks on a door, and several missing light globes, the house is still fairly well intact. The oriental rugs are still as substantial as ever. Neither fire nor acid seems to penetrate them. Among the visitors lately have been Lt. Stanley Wilcox, former V. D. He was married to Ethel Weisharr, Zeta Tau Alpha, in Chicago in December. Mrs. Wilcox graduates in February and- will go to Connecticut where they will make their home while Stan receives some advanced training. Lt. Robert James has parked his bag here a couple of times while visiting the Tri Delt house. Brother Roy Augenson is now at Chanute Field and drops down frequently. Jack Kilby has been down twice. He is now stationed at a small school near La Grange,

Illinois. Burton Wood, Bill Kolb, L eo Gorenz and Ed Verkler are a few of the others who have come around. We want t~ extend t~e welcome mat to any AcaCians, esp:c1ally service men, who happen to be passmg through Champaign-Urbana. Scholastic honors have come to a couple of our members. Richard Ball is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi, all -university honorary. Lowell Lloyd has been elected to Tau Beta Pi. Brother Lloyd and wife are now at Columbus, Ohio, where he is doing defense work at the Batelle Memorial Institute. Alfred Bennett goes to Medical School in April. Brothers Dick Stroker and Fred H~rtma.nn are going to the Army, and Bill W1ebmer and Don Grieme to the Navy. Wiebmer has his pin hung at 510 E . Daniel, Borklund's old hang-out. Among the soldiers on campus, Bob Jesberg has hung his pin in Springfield. Others on campus in the Army are Joe Miller Vic Prince and Bob Foote. John Dahlberg, Thad Elsesser and Charles Yale are in the Navy V-12 program here. Gene Alt, Earl Fleming and Lee Rollman have been on campus, but are now in officer's training. I want to make a special appeal for ~etters and addresses. The chapter is try~ng to J?Ut out a publication every once m a while, but we find very little material and even fewer addresses. RICHARD W. BALL

Indiana Color blind! That is, here at Indiana we are all so used to seeing khaki that we don't recognize any other color. I.U.'s campus is covered with men serving their favorite uncle. Acacia has contributed several new men to the great fold, but a number of fellows have returned with discharges. Last semester John Maddox, senior; George Waldschmidt, freshman ; Jim Davis, junior, and Otis Young, junior, all left for induction into the Army. Max Simmons, freshman; Jim Greene, sophomore, and Ralph McWilliams, sophomore, went to the Navy this semester. Oz Smith, Bill Thompson and Charlie Millspaugh have returned to college with discharges. Our chapter has still managed to hold on to the house and many of the traditions in spite of war pressures which restrict much of the old campus boressing. October 15-16 found the actives of Yellow Dog in full swing, initiating the new pledges into one of the local chapter's "extracurricular" organizations. This was followed by the annual dunking of the sophomores in th~ biology pool- what a battle! Several" weeks later the pledge dance was held in our dining-room. George Waldschmidt, one of the pledges, drew a caricature of each pledge in line with the theme, Indian Summer. Typical of the names was Big Chief Chug-urn-Lug from the song of the same name. After a brief respite at Thanksgiving, Acacians returned to initiation of the new pledges, held December 3, 4 and 5. The new initiates are Tom Baker, Bill Shanks, John Montgomery, Jim Davis, Otis Young, Bill Scholl, Bill Ritchie, Frank Neff, Neal Webster, George Smith, H. T. Risley, War-

ren Stevens, Irwin Leary Rene Kiefer and Bill Crane. ' . The cuss-cup started after Thanksgivmg and lasted unt il shortly before Christmas. Every time an obscene term was use~ by any of the fellows, he had to put a ruckel into the fund . Augmented by the generous donations of several fe llows w ho abstaine d, the fund was lar ge enough to pay for a complete outfit for three small boys. These undernourished youngsters were also t reated to a tur key dinner. The new semester started at I. U ., and the Acacia chapter pledged a n ew group of fellows. The new pledges are: Lowell Steen, East Chicago ; Leon Gordon East Chicago ; Art Hall, Garrett; Wendali Muller, Fort Wayne ; and Paul Robinson H~ond. Several boys were pledged durmg the fall semester, but not in time for initiation. They ar e: Stewar t Willson, Connersville, and Jim Roderick Marion. ' The social event of importance up to now was a tea dance with the Tri Delts January 21. But the main event is stili to come, at this writing. If all plans continue as they have been shaped so far the Acacian winter formal "Colonnade ,; will be February 5. Plans have been laid for the decorations and orchestra and permission has been obtained fro~ the local high and mighty. Intra-fraternity basketball is cont inuing; and, as basketball is commonly called "Hoosier Madness" is now of top interest on the campus. Led by our V. D ., Gene Latham, who played varsity high school ball with Evansville Central so well as to be picked all-state guard the net-men of Acacia have shown great'power. Leon Dunkin, Bill Thompson, Oz Smith, Rene Kiefer, and Jim Davis have been the backbone of the team, although Jim left recently for induction. The record shows four wins and one loss. The Manager's and the Kappa Alpha Psi teams fell rather easily, but our squad really trampled the SAE squad, 45 to 18, and warped the Pi Lams, 43 to 17. Losing temporarily our offensive power, we fell before the Phi Gams. We are working for a return match. Going strong and hoping for still better things, I. U. Acacia carries on. FRANK NEFF

Michigan Today, Sunda.y, March 12, completed the initiationÂˇ of two humble pledges, Bob Wood (a V-12 member and brother-inlaw to Bryce Broughton, one of the alumni) , and Bob Bald. Because of a spinal meningitis scare within the house last semester, we had postponed the initiation until this week end. Despite the new members, our ranks have been depleted by the departure of Mac McGregor, Jack Kelso, and Hank Hosmer to the armed services, and the graduation of our former Venerable Dean, Arlie Trahern, who is now working in Detroit. Others to graduate were Carroll Brown who is remaining in the house until called for service, and Warren Shelley who is

58 remaining to take up graduate work in music. (We suspect, however, that Shirley had something to do with his plans.) About a month ago, Warren was elected Venerable Dean ; AI Kennedy, Senior Dean; Bill Clark, Junior Dean; Paul Popisil, Secretary-Treasurer following the departure of Mac McGregor; and Stu Wunch, TRIAD Correspondent. Following the installment of officers, Warren adjourned the meeting to the Liberty Street study hall, the Pretzel Bell, where a good time was had by all for the remainder of t he evening. We have been rather fortunate in keeping the house open this year. At present we have the ATO fraternity living with us. The spirit and the cooperation between the two fraternities has been excellent, the result being some sort of social function twice a month. Also, by this arrangement, we have managed to keep the kitchen open. As has been the case in previous years, the J -hop was called off in favor of a V-ball. Acacians present were Warren Shelley, Paul Pospisil, Arlie Trahern, Bob Opdyke, Carrol Brown, Bob Wood, Bob Bald, AI Kennedy and Bill Pierson. News from the alumni is that Maddy Lent-Koop is to be married to Joan McCulloch early this summer; Dick Widman left campus last Christmas for OCS at Fort Belvoir, Virginia ; John Wunch is at VPI undertaking ASTP training; Jim Churchill is enjoying a course in engineering at Oklahoma A. & M. with the A.STP (he is a lit student on campus); Stu Kingsbury is at Annapolis-he came home over Christmas vacation to hang his pin ; Walt Roberts has been around the house for the last few days ; and Bob Opdyke is enlisting in the Navy, prior to obtaining a commission. Fred J. Bryan, N.R.O.T.C. man in our chapter, left for Midshipman's School. Wilford H . Brown, '40, is now a Captain of Field Artillery Observation Battalion located somewhere in England. Bill Clark is to be congratulated. He is a fast worker, having hung his pin on Carolyn Reese, an Alpha Gamma Delta of Toledo, Ohio, in no less than two weeks.

We still have our house. Since the Army is leaving some of the fraternity houses, it is unlikely that they will take ours. Besides the house, we have the best cook on campus. Both of these help us "snare" rushees. Thus far we have pledged all men whom we have rushed. As we said before there are several rushees who will pledge within the next few weeks. In the present pledge class are Brock Holmes, Bill Dreher, Bob Stark and Pete MacDonald. Politically we are as strong as ever. We have Bob Carlson, senior class president and business manager of the Daily; Al Dreher, promotion manager of the Daily; Brock Holmes, Daily business staff; Junior Hammett, Gopher photographer; Tom Clareson, exchange editor of SkiU-Mah; John Dablow, president of the Board of Publications; Bill Peterson, Board of Publications; and Dick Hammel, All-U-Council. Now that spring elections are close at hand, we are trying to place every Acacian in some important post on campus. Several men will run for editor . or business manager of the various publications. Socially, we have not done too well. Partly because of the rationing setup, we have had no date luncheons or exchange dinners with sororities. Our homecoming ,banquet at the Leamington Hotel, and our party at the Minneapolis Athletic Club have been the highlights of our social calendar thus far. All eyes are turned to the spring quarter because of our annual canoe trip up the St. Croix River. The only dark cloud on our horizon is the constant loss of men to the armed forces . Thus far this year we have lost Dale Mciver, Bud Gabrielson, Irv. Anderson, Jim Trier and John Biersdorf via the draft route. It looks like many of the sixteen men now living in the house will be gone by June. Still, things could be worse. "Let's go, Acacia" has become our war cry. We are resolved that the Minnesota chapter ef Acacia will remain active for the dura· tion. ToM CLARESON

STUART WUNCH

Missouri Minnesota . Despite the handicap of having only men left from last year's active chapter, the Minnesota chapter of Acacia remains one of the most powerful fraternities on campus. We initiated ten men January 16, and now have sixteen avtives and four pledges. There are also approximately six rushees who will pledge within the next few weeks. Those men who have just gone active are: Al Jurgens, Tom Clareson, Bob Biddick, Bud Storrs, Stan Von Drashek, Jim Jensen, AI Dreher Ted Anderson, Junior Hammett and John Biersdorf. Junior Hammett was immediately elected J.D. when the "grand old man of Acacia," Bob Carlson-business manager of the Minnesota Daily since March, 1943-resigned. The other officers are Dick Hammel V.D.; John Dablow, S .D.; Dwight Cher~ nausek, Secretary; Donald Neubauer Treasurer; and Burr Buswell Chapte; Adviser. ' SIX

Capt. and Mrs. Roland Lanser, Mo. '40, arrived in town Sunday after a brief visit in Kansas City where they saw Roger Buck and Tom Fisher. Roger, Mo. '38, is now a civil service investigator, and Tom, Mo. '38, is instructing classes of Navy students in aerial navigation. The Lansers and I had spaghetti at Ruggeri's out on the "hill" last night. They came through with lots of news. It seems that Vivien combs through the TRIAD and has Lanser look up every one of the fellows anywhere near the · area where he happens to be stationed. They now have a daughter, Linda, 8% months old, and a pooch named Taffy, age not revealed. The captain has been serving as a motor officer at Camp Roberts Fort Sill and Fort Bragg. ' At Camp Roberts he met Andrew Roth, Mo. '29, who is now overseas. At Sill he ran across our good companion, Joe Peck, Mo. '39, serving as a liaison pilot in the Field Artillery. At Bragg, they encountered one Phil Loomis, Cornell '38, and

Ted Burgess, who was a pledge at Nebraska. Lanser says E. L. Monroe, Mo. '39, is now in England; Don Lowery, Mo. '40, is expecting to return to the States this month from Pearl Harbor, where he was stationed on and before the fateful date. Bob Emmons, Mo. '38, is father of a daughter and lives in Kansas City, Kansas. Bob Stauffer, Mo. '39, who is flying the Burma Road, recently visited home -i n Kansas City and made Margie his bride. First Lt. and Mrs. P. C. McMillan, Mo. '38, are (or were) located at Camp Forrest, Tennessee. Wayne Rausch, Mo. '40, is taking glider training. "Dapper" Dann, Mo. '38, is (or was) at Camp Butner, North Carolina. Carl Huffman, Mo. '40, is overseas; Harry Beltzig, Mo. '40, and Dave Pfotenhauer, Mo. '40, are both serving in the Army. Dave got married just before going in. Carl Pfotenhauer, Mo. '34, is in England. John Shock, Mo. '40, is still on the Mo. U. campus, serving as a staff sergeant. To this I might add two more good morsels of news. Dr. John R. Cable, Mo. '13, has just been named President of Missouri Valley College in Marshall, Missouri. He has been teaching Money, Credit and Banking at Washington University in St. Louis for a number of years_ Vernon G. Schertel, Mo. '37, and his father have recently installed a complete printing shop which they are operating in addition to their weekly paper. Vernon and Dorothy have a fine son, Buddy. Al Belz, Mo. '39, has returned to the states after a tour of duty somewhere in the Pacific. RoY K. HEINTZ

·Northwestern Greetings to all you fellows from this and other chapters whom we haven't seen for a long time. Things have been happening fast these last few months, and we have a lot of news piled up at this . end of the line. I know that most of you are wondering about the chapter membership. We now have 24 men in the chapter, but we are sorry to say that we will lose six Navy ROTC men on February 22. At that time Wayne Holtzman, Jack Kroner, Wally Gibbs, Sam Walker, Jim Summers and Lee Shrader will be commissioned as ensigns and assigned to sea duty. Their orders have not yet been announced, but through unofficial channels we hear that Holtzman is due to get a berth on the battleship " Iowa," Kroner will be sent to P.T. boat school, and Gibbs has applied for South Pacific duty. These boys have all been stationed on the campus in the V-12 unit since the Navy took over in July, and they have been a big help in all of our activities this year. It is not at all easy to say good-bye to these boys, but we hope they will be back after the war to finish their studies, as most of them plan to do. With the latest draft ruling, it looks as though we may lose one or two more men within the next month. Marshall Burmeister is currently in 1-A along with Dick Bogan.

Purdue

Although many fraternities on the Purdue campus have become inactive during the past few months, the Acacia boys are still holding the fort at 120 Andrew Place. Now there are twenty actives and pledges on the campus, six being in the V-12 program. Wayne Price, new Senior Dean, is busy with our rushing program so that we will soon have a full house. We have hopes of returning to 427 State, as the liquidation of basic ASTP takes about seven hundred army men from school. New pledges include: Robert A . Ballard, Bicknell, Indiana ; Ray Jones, Mount Vernon, Indiana; Robert Wynkoop, Brookston, Indiana; Richard Weaver, Elkhart, Indiana ; Robert Williains, Lafayette, Indiana; Ralph S. Poe, Marengo, Indiana. Recently elected officers are: Paul Homsher, reelected V.D. ; Wayne Price, Senior Dean; AI Graumlich, Secretary; Don Baughman, Treasurer; Ray Nuding, Junior Dean ; Ralph Grey, House Manager. "Boilermaker" Acacians have been proving theinselves well in scholastic hon-. oraries and activity honoraries. Recently initiated members are : Wayne Price, George Palmer, and Paul Homsher into Pi Tau Sigma; Wayne Price, George Palmer, and Bob Young into Tau Beta Pi; Ray Nuding and Bob Young into Eta Kappa Nu; Bob Fischer and Crews Perkey into Sigma Delta Chi; Joe Judge into Alpha Zeta; Ed Yarling into Ceres. Purdue Acacians have not been slackers in activities either. Paul Hoinsher is one of the junior editors of the Debris and Al Graumlich is the assistant business manager. Bob Young, Crews Perkey, Wayne Price, and Bob Fischer worked on the Purdue Engineer during the past semester. Wayne Price is also in the orchestra and secretary-treasurer of ASME. Larry Neilson has been active in Purdue Playshop, and has run in all of the Big Ten track meets so far this season. Dick Wheaton has been flying with the Purdue Glider Club. Socially we have been on the ball through the efforts of Bob Blue and Bob Young, who planned several trade dances with the various sororities. We had a dinner dance on January 29 with Phi Delta Theta and Alpha Sigma Phi. This was the first formal affair that we have had for over a year, and it was certainly well received. The local navy dance band played for the dance.

The Triad, March, 1944

60 Since we have been living at 120 Andrew Place, our chapter meetings and initiations have been held at the home of our adviser, Dean Knapp. We have had at least one formal chapter meeting each month, and informal ones each Monday when there was no formal meetings. New initiates are: Norman R. Atz, Kendallville, Indiana ; Ralph Grey, Osborn, Ohio ; William G. Tuscany, Lakewood, Ohio ; and Richard J. Wheaton, Indianapolis, Indiana. At the end of last semester we lost Bill Tuscany, Bob Blue, and Neil Teufel to the Navy as members of V-12. Bob Young graduated in electrical engineering and expects to accept work with Westing. house. Dick Eifler entered boot training at Great Lakes and was graduated from there. Norman Atz is now in the Army somewhere in North Carolina. "Doc" Price received a "P " sweater for his work on the track team, and Larry Neilson has his freshman numerals for track also. Stanley Green, '17, Vice-President of the Duncan Electric Co., was one of the principal speakers at this year's annual Tau ·Beta Pi banquet honoring distinguished freshman students. John Keith, who left our chapter early in 1941 to join the Air Corps, was killed in an airplane accident while in service somewhere in India. Although most of us in the house now didn't know Johnny very well, we certainly wish to express our sorrow for John and other Acacia brothers who have keen killed or wounded in this war. Ed Klein and Jim Baynes both received commissions in the Navy as ensigns. Jim has an APO address in San Francisco, and Ed is now taking training in the state of Washington. Frank Baynes was here recently after being on maneuvers. He is now stationed in Mississippi. "Nate" McManus, who is testing tanks and tank destroying units, rolled in from Texas about a month ago. He says he really likes his work. Lt. "Bucky" Harris, '40, reports that he met Norman Riise, '37, and J. R. Wergin, '34, when he flew to Australia for some official Navy business. In a letter to Dean Knapp he mentioned that he had seen these fellows, but said nothing of their respective ranks. A letter from Earle J . Hienton, '42, expresses a specific wish to hear from some of the Purdue brothers and from fellow Acacians. . It has never been officially announced ~ the TRIAD .that Carl Hansing, '38, was killed early m 1942 somewhere in the South Pacific. An interesting note is that Dick Weaver is the second son of Harmon Weaver Purdue '14, to be in the Purdue Chapter: By th7 next time the Purdue Chapter reports m the TRIAD, we may be in our own house, and we hope to continue as well .as we have so far throughout the remamder of the war.

Syracuse With a skeleton ere~ of four actives on e pledge and alumnus Fred Irion, th~ Syracuse Chapter continues to function. Due to a very limited number of incoming freshmen, our rushing campaign has not

been able to get under way. Things don't look too hopeful as far as future rushing is concerned, but we will keep trying. Stan Perry graduated in December from the Forestry College, and he is now working for the American Cyanimide Chemical Co. in Connecticut. A few weeks before Stan graduated, the Mothers of Acacia gave us a grand party at the home of Prof. and Mrs. Henderson. We all had a good time, and we certainly went for the eats. During Christmas vacation, we had a get-together at John Schojbert's home in Brooklyn. Those present were Atlee Vall, Bob Bartlett, Phil Rice and John Schojbert. We enjoyed seeing Bob again. He is stationed at the St. Albans Naval Hospital, St. Albans, Long Island. · In our last election, Don Warren was elected V.D.; Phil Rice, S.D. ; Atlee Vail, Secretary, and John Schojbert, Treasurer. The way things stand now, there isn't a man in the chapter who doesn't hold one or two offices. Atlee Vail seems to be the leading Romeo at present. How he finds himself all of those beautiful dates is beyond the rest of us. He claims that it is nothing but that Vail technique which gets the results. Don Warren is confining his attentions to one girl. He seems to have caught the bug. By the way, Don will be entering the Medical College in April. Nick Zauner, who is stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, is now turning out mimeographed sheets containing Acacia Army News. Nick writes: "If someone in every chapter would start a letter of this type, I am sure the fellows would apprecite it. We have our national magazine, the TRIAD, but this would more or less contain tidbits about the fellows in their own. chapter. I have another appeal to make to the chapters and to individual members. Please keep the National Headquarters informed of the latest addresses of men in the Service. In this manner we are all helping ourselves. When you receive the TRIAD, look at the back where the addresses are listed. If anyone is l~cated in the same camp with you, look h1m up. We all have one thing in common-membership in Acacia. Try it." Nick deserves a lot of credit, and it's a sure bet that all of the Syracuse boys appreciate his effort. He is still carrying the torch for his Syracuse Kappa Delta. Phil Rice has recently been elected and initiated into Phi Kappa Alpha, which is the Senior Men's :aonorary at Syracuse. Recently, Dale Hackett and Bud Lyon have written to us. Dale has just about finished his course in Meteorology at Haverford College in Pennsylvania. Bud is due to receive his commission in the Air Corps the latter part of July. He is ve~y eager to get at the enemy, and he cla1m5 that as soon as he does we will be reading about the end of the ·war. Fred Lott paid us an unexpected but a very pleasant visit on February 3. We hadn't seen or heard from him for almost a year. He is now stationed at Manhattan College in the A .S.T .P . Rice a~d Schojbert are expecting to be called mto the Army in the very near future. They will surely give their best and their all to Uncle Sam. In closing, we Acacians of Syracuse wish to all of our other brothers the best of luck. Pim. RicE

Back to His Job (Concluded from page 54)

to each office of the USES is a representative of the veterans' employment service. His job is to look out for exsoldiers, see that they get preference wherever they have a right to it, give advice, and keep the re-employment committeemen posted on the employment outlook for veterans. So far, Selective Service has had no trouble finding jobs for returning soldiers. With the labor market in its present shape, finding jobs for draftexempt men is like giving away tendollar bills, as one official put it. A large majority of the discharged men need no help ; only 20 per cent or so have asked re-employment committeemen for help. At a rough guess, about 60 per cent of the returning service men want their old jobs back. Usually their employer greets them as though they were his own children, and there is no question about re-employment rights. This blissful situation won't last. If there is any so.r t of a slump after the war, many employers won't be able to take back their old workers, no matter how much they want to. Workers who have held jobs during the war will resent it bitterly when soldiers come back and want to take over. Labor unions will object violently if seniority and employment rights of their members are not respected. Community sentiment will be strongly behind the soldiers, however, and the men returning from the armed forces will be numerous enough to swing political weight. If their interests clash with those of the civilian worker, the chances are that the exsoldiers will come out on top. Even men who were hired to replace soldiers and were then drafted themselves are likely to get preference over civilians, although they have no legal re-employment rights. While Selective Service forsees the danger of this clash, there isn't much it can do. In the end, the answer to the re-employment problem will depend largely on two things: (1) How many jobs the postwar economy offers; (2) how closely demobilization of the armed forces is adjusted to reconversion of the economy to peacetime production. If there are enough jobs to go around after the war, and if demobilization is an orderly process instead of reckless dumping, -ex-soldiers will move back into the civilian economy without much disturbance.-Business Week.

The Triad, March, 1944

These Men Honor Their Country and Fraternity Relatives and friends of Acacia service·men are requested to mail to the National Headquarters gloss photographs of these men when casualty reports are received. The TRIAD is eager to continue to give these heroes their rightful recognition.

Acacians in the service who are stationed on the North American continent receive copies of the TRIAD whether subscribers or not. All camp and service libraries-there are 252 of them-receive several copies of the TRIAD regularly. This will do much to keep the men in touch with the Fraternity and enable them to get in touch with men located in the same camp or station.

«Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress no crime destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave. At home a friend, abroad an introduction, in solitude a solace, and in society an ornament. It chastens vice, it gives, at once, grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage."-JosEPH
