'The President's Letter UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON DAYTON, OHIO February 15, 1929.

To the Alumni of the University of Dayton: Alumni who have not had the opportunity to call at the University during the past year will be delighted on the occasion of their next visit to see the beautiful Albert Emanuel Library, which now graces the entrance to the University campus.

With the increase in the student body better library facilities had to be provided. Victor Emanuel, '15, generously supplied the building needed.

It contains two large reading rooms and a magazine room; reference, lecture, seminar and cataloguing rooms and offices, and a stackroom with a capacity of 110,000 books. We have at present approximately 25,000 volumes.

Following the suggestion made by several alumni, we have decided to set aside the week of April 21-28 of this year as "Library Week," requesting a lumni and friends to help fill the empty shelves by making donations in cash or in books. Cash donations for the endowment of 路high class magazines will be greatly appreciated. Those who contribute to the support of the Library will be given membership in the "Albert Emanuel Library Club" and their names

will be recorded in the Club register. Contributors of endowments for magazines and of valuable collections of books will be listed as Patrons of the Library and their names will be posted in a conspicuous place in the Library.

We expect shortly to send out a more comprehensive plan outlining our needs in the important field of Journal Literature, together with suggestions as to the most practical way to meet this need.

On another page of this magazine will be found the names of alumni who have anticipated this appeal in behalf of the Library and have made substantial gifts of sets of books.

We are confident that the alumni of the University will be pleased to take advantage of "Library Week" to show their personal appreciation of the generous gift of their fellow-alumnus, Victor Emanuel. We take this occasion to thank them in advance for their support.

Devotedly yours,

L~~L;;, O'n, President.

Editorial THE beautiful Albert Emanuel Library, erected on the fore of the campus, gives to the University not only the long desired and needed facilities but also an outstanding mon ument of architecture, a most fitting memorial for any campus. This new educational edifice meets all the old deficiencies and aims to maintain the high satndard of learning among t he U. of D. students.

The gift of the ' Library represents the absolute faith in Alma Mater of a loyal and devoted alumnus. It stands out as an exemplar of that

3

real alumni spirit of loyalty and devotion, as should be found in the heart of every alumnus.

The alumni are deeply grateful to their fellow-alumnus, Victor ' Emanuel, and will welcome "Library Week" as a means of expressing their gratitude as well as their own loyalty and devotion.

Not only for this generation but for the days to come the Albert Emanuel Library will minister effectively to the culture and education of the potential leaders who are found in the making at this great institution of learn in~.

DELIGHTFUL PRESENTATION

These words were used by one of the local daily play critics in his review of the presentation of the play "Little Old New York," sponsored by the "D" Club on February 10. "Little Old New York" is that delightful little four-act play from the pen of Rida Johnson Young. The leading male role of Larry Delavan was taken by Maurice Costello, while that of the little Irish boy-girl lead of "Pat" O'Day was taken by Miss Dorothy Benkert, who is a graduate of the school of drama at St. Mary's College, Indiana. Miss Benkert was superb in her portrayal of that very hard role of the l'ittle Irish belligerent. Other members of the cast were: Mr. O'Day, Francis Marshall; Riley, W. Hamilton; Washington Irving, Paul Lutz; Cornelius Vander bilt, Charles 路Bauman; John Jacob Astor, Richard Franken-. steen; and Henry Brevoort, Tl}eodore Cummings. Other female parts were taken by Misses Rosemary Abel, Margaret Gilbert and Lucille Abel.

SUGGESTED READING

By Francis Ruhlman, S.M. Th e a.ttempt will be mad-e to r ecommend only such books as are of general interost. They will he chosen from as diversified a field as possible, covering biog r a phy, history, literature, sociology, and the like. As a rule books referred to will be the most recent. Howover. should an older book be brought to our attent ion that we feel would l>e well worth reading, we will not hesitate in recommending it, irrespective of the time published.

PERE MARQUETTE

By Agnes Repplier.

Doubl'e day, Doran.

$2.50.

This book is a departure from the field in which Miss Repplier has been writing. Heretofore her preoccupation has been the essay and there is no doubt about her title as the foremost Amer ican woman essayist. Her first attempt at biography has . certainly been a very sdscessful one. There never yet has been a biography of Marquette that is more charming and sprightly and altogether readable than this. Written with historical accuracy and with dramatic vigor, the biography is none the less delicately wrought. Though it speaks of gre at deeds, it does so not with awe but with a gentle smile.

Granting herself the pleasure of a sl'ight digression the author however never departs far from the steady flow of her story.

THE ORIGINS OF THE WORLD WAR

By Sidney Bradshaw Fay.

2 vols.

Macmilan .

$8.00.

Few books have ever been awaited with so much interest and impatience. Professor Fay has spent years in careful investigation, having seen and weighed practically all the source material in any langpage. In the two volumes as a whole we may find the most complete and convincing summary of the facts about the responsibility of the World War which has beeen produced in any country. Mr. Fay's conclusion is that all the European countries, in a greater or less d egree, were responsible for the war and that the Versailles verdict of German guilt is historically unsound. As the product of serious-minded, historical scholarship, thes e two volumes must be rated as a masterly achievement.

ATHLETIC NEWS AND COMMENT

By Herb Abel, '22

Flyers Fail to Impress in First Six Cage Tilts; Dayton Offensive Is Weak

Charley Bauman Elected . Captain of 1929 Team; Was Catcher Two Seasons

WITH the Flyer basketball season off t o a six-game start at this writing, it is possible to get a pretty fair estimate of Fitzpatrick's charges. T o date the Daytoni'ans have copped four of their six contests and for the balance of the season have t h e greater part of an extremely difficult schedule in front of them.

While the Flyers h~ve come out on top so far the showing of the Fitzmen to date is more or l ess of a disappointment. '路 The much-heralded scoring forward combination of Ladner and Lensch has failed woefully.

Cru'sh has replaced Lensch in t h e regular lineup while Ladner remains with the A-team solely on the strength of his showing in one game.

W ITH spring in the offin g the baseball lettermen assembl ed to choose Charley Bauman, peppery Varsity receiver of the past two seasons, as their diamond captain for the ensuing campaign which opens at Dayton April 6 with Miami University.

The. election of Bauman is a well-deserved honor and a token of the esteem in which Charley is held by his fellow athletes. Charley knows basebal'l, loves it and lives it. His whole h eart is in the success of the Ba ujanite machine a nd his comrades sh owed rare judgment in selecting such an outstanding player as Charley for the position.

For the past two Y.ears Charley has been chirping wittily from behind the bats of Dayton's opposition. His fielding average for his Varsity career has been .966 and his batting .324.

Average Points Less Dayton has averaged a little less than 30 points per game so far whereas last season the Flyers chalked up a season record of 36 per contest. Th e only bright ray was in the contest with Capital in which the Fitzmen emerged with a 45-17 victor y . And of the remaining thirteen games at least ten may be considered as extremely difficult for Dayton to win.

Ohio Wesleyan, which already holds a 38-21 decision over Dayton, comes here February 2. Two games with Denison and a -single contest w i th St. Xavier will also be played before this edition is off the press. And if we may venture a 路gue's s as to the standing we should predict that Dayton will lose at least three of these four unless the basket-shooting and pass-wor k of the Flyers i路ncreases in efficiency by about seventy-five per cent.

1917 Team Most Outstanding Ever since the balmy days of 1917 when old St. Mary's had the Krusling brothers, Frank Mahoney, Norm Hochwalt, Bill Sherry and Joe Windbiel as their basketeer luminaries, the Dayton school has been most times only f airly and sometimes poorly represented on the court.

That 1916-1917 team was up among them winning 15 and losing but 5 games. Of those five, two were administered by the alumni. And the alumni were the old S.M. C. Cadets. The other three came at the hands of Muskingum, Miami and Wabash with its "Wonder Five" led by t he famous Stonebreaker.

Last year it looked as though Fitzpatrick had the nucleus of another record-breaking t eam. Ladner, Lensch and Lange were all playing their first year. But that was 1928. The present season so far has told a different story.

Very Rev. Msgr. Frank A. Thill, '14, who is national secretary of the Catholic Students Mission Crusade, with headquarters at Cincinnati, has returned after a sixmon1Jhs travel of the Orient.

The first country the prelate visited in the course of the tour was Japan and the last was the Philippine Islands.

In Japan he was the guest of the Brothers of Mary, who conduct the University of Dayton. Aside from cordial receptions from the Archbishop of Tokio and otlier bishops of Japan, he was entertained at a public dinner

by Admiral Shinjiro Yamamoto, hero of the Battle of Port Arthur.

While in the Philippines Msgr. Thill organized the Students Mission Crusade in St. Thomas University, Manila.

The prelate's tour was made under the direction of Most Rev. John T. McNicholas, O.P., Archbishop of Cincinnati, in order to acquire a closer knowledge of missionary conditions for his work as national director of the Mission Crusade and also as archdiocesan director of mission work in the Cincinnati archdiocese.

As a member of the faculty of the University of Dayton, he taught Agency and Partnership, being a member of the original faculty at the inauguration of the College of Law in 1922.

A mere recital of the accomplishments of Arthur Leen as a man, an attorney, and a professor of law, does not begin to cover the sphere of his activities in this life .

Your Obligation as Readers

With Philharmonic Symphony

The editor of this magazine recognizes his obligation to give University news in a pithy, concise way and to represent alumni opinion and aspirations with vigor. We want this magazine to be talked about, and we intend to give it character and personality. Even criticism is better than apathy; a publication that is not talked about is dead.

"All that glitters is not gold." A flashy cover often means a colorless interior. It is our ambiiton to present a scholar ly, thoughtful discus~ion of our University's affairs as an educational institution. We will illustrate it just as much as our limited funds allow.

Of cou: se in our large and varied body of alumni there will be many different opinons and tastes. We would like to have them alL No doubt there are constructive ideas among the older alumni who are so solid in their s upport of the University, the younger alumni who are so enthusiastic and lately familiar with its conditions, the out-of-town group who are so full of fre sh points of view and new contacts, and the very large body of local alumni whose local newspapers are filled daily with University news and who therefore form the most critical group of an alumni publication.

We urge the thoughtful attention of •all who read this to our plea for assistance. Let us have the benefit of your opinion. We cannot imagine it, so we ask you to write to' the editor and tell him. Of course there will be many circumstances and situations, unknown to individuals, which the editor is familiar with and which must often control the policy of the publlication. It is his duty to know these and regard them. One of course . is the scarcity of adequate funds, in face of the constantly increasing dut ies of the Alumni Association. W e all wish to represent the University of Dayton in a dig nified and attractive way. Let us take counsel together to this end.

Robert Schenck, '14, has been with the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra and the Damrosch orchestra for the past ten years.

Mr. Schenck has risen to the notice of such eminent conductors as Diunrosch and Toscanini. And a mark of especial recognition was his selection by the latter, . acknowledged to be the world's pre-eminent conductor, for the present orchestra, a combination of the New York Symphony and the Phiiharmonic orch estras.

Besides his connection wi th the orchestra, Mr. Schenck has taught in the David Mannes School, New York City .
